This song is written and composed by my friend’s friend. All I know about him is his name, Rassel. Typical bangla prem bhalobasha shonkranto gaan. Tumi chole gele, amay ar amar baba me ke fele.. ei type gaan. Tarporo keno jani bhalo lage. Ki ekta shukkho hahakar ache gaan tar moddhe. Hahakar ta bhalo lage. :p [Download]

Happy Old Year 2007
December 31, 2007Gudum gadum kore aro ek bochor chole gelo. Choto thaktei mone hoy bhalo chilo. Shomoy khub dhire dhire jeto. Amar ekhono mone ache, koto agroho niye ami 18 hobar opekkha kortam. Mone hoto 18 hoye gelei buzhi boro hoye jabo, shadhin hobo, eka eka jekhane khushi jete parbo, jokhon ichha bashay firte parbo. 18 holam. Shudhu ekta shongkha paltalo. Boro bhab ta ar ashlo na. Hal charlam na. Vablam 21 hole oboshhoi boro hoye jabo. Dhire dhire 21 o holo, lubh holo na. Tarpor odhir agroho niye 25 er opekkha korte thaklam, na eibar ar boro hobar jonno na. 25+ hole auto insurance rate kombe, ei jonno opekkha. Ha, ei asha ta puron hoyeche.
Notun bochor purano bochor eishob amar kache eki rokom lage. Just shomoyer ekta hishab. Eta niye oto adikh’kheta amar ashe na. Oneke abar ‘new year’s resolution’ namok bishesh ek jinish niye zhapiye poren. Tobe beshir vag shomoy-e dekhi ei utshaho 3/4 din er beshi thake na. Idea ta jodio mondo na. Notun bochor upolokkhe nizeke poriborton korar broto neya, nizer jonno bhalo kichu ekta kora. Tobe amar kache bepar ta kichu ta hasshokor mone hoy. Ahammoker moto keno bochorer prothom din porjonto boshe thakte hobe! Keu jodi shotti bishash kore tar jonno ekta bishesh kono kichu bhalo, tahole tar sheta shei muhurto thekei shuru kora uchit, shudhu shudhu bochor shesh howa porjonto opekkha na kore.
Amar borong 2007 er jonno khanik ta mayai lagche. Etodin pashe pashe chilo bechara. Ar ekhon shobai kina shompurno oporichito 2008 niye lafa lafi korche. Jani etai niom. Shob kichui ek shomoy puraton hoye jay.
Jai hok, notun bochor e shobai bhalo thakuk, shustho thakuk ebong onnoder ke bhalo rakhuk. :)
Oh nicher ei chobi ta prothom-alo te dekhlam azke. Khushi hobo, shosti pabo naki bethito hobo buzhte parchi na.

in Virginia
December 26, 2007Visiting Virginia with Hasan Bhai and Zakir Bhai. On our way we picked Rahman Bhai from BWI.
It’s been only 10 hours and I already have started missing NY. Will be back to NY on 28th [Friday].
Elvis Presley: Always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Sumon, Anila, Fuads new album ‘Ekhon Ami’
December 20, 2007Sumon [Aurthohin] and Anila’s new album “Ekhon Ami” just came out. There are total 11 tracks in this album. 5 of them are Sumon’s old songs from previous albums. Overall not bad. Since I am crazy about Aurthohin’s music, it is nice to hear remake of their songs by a female voice. Fuad has done an tremendous job with the compositions. I am really liking the saxophone play in the songs. Right now I am not going to comment on the tracks since I haven’t listened to all of them. So far sounds good and I know, more I listen they would just keep getting better. :p
I am attaching two of the songs.
Enjoy!
Track: [1] Gaibo Na
Artist: Anila
[Download]
Track: [2] Ekhon Ami
Artist: Sumon
[Best song of the album. Just ignore the word ‘bitch’ at 3:04 :p]

Eid Mubarak
December 19, 2007Some people are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha today. In North America people are actually celebrating Eid in three different days; today, tomorrow or day after tomorrow. Usually every year people get to choose between two different days. I don’t know how they came up with three different days this time. I guess people are getting smarter and more flexible. :p
Unfortunately/fortunately I am not celebrating today :p Anyway, whoever is celebrating, I wish you a happy Eid.
Stay alive till next Eid. :)
Name A ‘Star’
December 16, 2007Today I heard this commercial on the radio about registering a star after any name. Anyone who calls some toll free number and pays a small fee will get a star named after him/her or any name he wishes. They will even register it with some copyright organization in U.S. and will send you a certificate of ownership. LOL. No! I am not joking. I googled it and found that there are in fact few companies who are doing this. The cheapest price I could come across is 19.95$. :p
I guess we are done with skirmishing and selling almost everything around and in us. Now we are left with stars, galaxies and black holes to sell and fight for. Just in case if you are interested, you can go to any of the following sites and name a star after you or anyone you like: YourStar.com, StarNamer.net, StarRegistry.com.
Or you can sponsor a poor child (worldvision.org) or donate some money for the recent cyclone victims in Bangladesh (http://www.ifrc.org/Docs/News/pr07/7407.asp) and other disaster effected people all around the world (donate.ifrc.org).
Or you can just sit there, do nothing and take your time. I won’t blame you. I understand you have other important things to take care of first.
Adios!
