NITIE Meet

Last Sunday we had our NITIE meet. All the Mumbai people were invited by the Impact team of NITIE at the NITIE campus. Last time I went to NITIE it took me around 2 hours to reach. So this time I left my home at 3 thinking that it would take me 5 o’clock to reach the spot. It turned out that I boarded the train and bus at the correct time and reached there at 4:30pm, half an hour before the stipulated time.

I called up Adiya Narayanan’s (my senior). He asked me to come to the Pond which is in the middle of NITIE, but since I had reached there, he asked me to come to his Hostel. After I went to his room, 2-3 more guys from my batch came. Each of introduced ourselves to others. It was nice to see some more people from VJTI. After the number people grew more than the room’s capacity (!!), we went to the central pond. Slowly more people started coming, and till 5:30pm we were around 15 people.

The seniors gave us some information about the placements, summers, etc. They told us about the various committees, groups, the selection procedure. It was nice to hear that NITIE had 100% placements this year. After a QA round we split into 2 groups and Aditya showed us the NITIE campus. It was an amazing feeling looking from the Hostel terrace towards the IIT. After 8pm I decided to leave, after all there was an IPL final to watch.

My term is going to start from 18th of June. Initially there will be an induction program for 3 days and from 22nd the lectures would start. Lets see how everything works out :)

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
