THE RECITAL: A Stop Motion

https://vimeo.com/47709104  


This is a small video i made... enjoy.. :D
and, slow connection??.. no probs!!.. read the description below.. i wrote it down while the video took its own time to upload :-/ :P



DISCLAIMER: This description is inspired by the 12kbps avg upload speed, a three digit (preceding the colon) remaining time to start with and my chatter box characteristics :P and i admit.. i'm writing this thing for the second time as the "long and broad" description i wrote previously was mercilessly killed by a power-cut thanks to my zero back-up battery :-/    
chaloz.. on a more serious (ly kidding) note: the contents above and below are true to the best of my knowledge... any c*p*ri**t issues??... dude get a life! :-/


first let me get into a happy frame of mind...
-think DIL CHAHTA HAI-       -think DIL CHAHTA HAI-        -think DIL CHAHTA HAI-
....
.....
ohh now i'm good :D

okay... so this video.. well.. i guess this is the result of an experiment where four awesome college years are mixed with 30 hours of ultra-boredom in the over-controlled environment of an AC 2-tier. The Recital, as the name suggests is a mere poetry recitation with add-ons like a drawn-on-notebook stop motion and some priceless memories. :D

initiating reaction to response...

       -ghumti hui dharti-

if "U think U are in the video" == TRUE
    {   
         if concept == cliched
                { printf ("sorry Mathur! :D" ); }
     
         if execution == not up to the mark
                { printf ("sorry Babu, should have kept your tripod :P"); }

         if sound == problem
                 { printf ("miss you Baby!!" ); }

         if poetry == much much much better ho sakta tha
                 { printf ("yaar Babu, convey my apologies to Aamir... "); }

         if voice-over == :P
                 { printf ("you got work to do, marLEE!"); }

         if response == naaice anuj naaiice!
                 { printf (""); }
    
else if  "U are an IISTian" == TRUE
                 { printf ("again, Thanks for your pakne ki kshamta.. you have been an encouragement to stretch the                        envelope further :P"); }

else   { printf ("thanks a ton for watching!! :D :D :D   bhai ho tum mere!!"); }

PUNCTURE

There are few lines I had scribbled a year back when our seniors were leaving. A farewell poem of sorts. I would like to share this with you guys. If any of my college mates is reading, I just wanted to say I love you and it took me these many words. But you guys know, that's just me :D



Puncture:

Kuchh saal pehle ek diya tha jalaya.
Par kyuun hai aaj uski law dagmagayi?
Bin roshni jeene ki aadat hi nahin hai,
Isiliye shayad, aaj andheri se darr si hai chhayi.
Aisa lagta hai jaise pahiye mein hawa kuchh kum hai,
Aur door tak puncture ki koi dukaan nahin...
Sath sath chalne ka maza kho dene ka darr hai aaj
Ek nayi zindagi joh saj sawarke kar rahi hai intezaar,
Use apnane ki koi khushi bhi nahin.
Mein is dil ko samjhata huun ke…
Ae dil! yaadon ka parda sarka ke ko toh dekh
Khidki ke paar ek naya sawera hai
Suraj ki roshni ko apna,
Ghum ka dhund to pighal jana hi hai
Sale, dosti ki gehrai mein jhank ke dekh
Tujhe kahan kabhi tanha rehna hai?
Puncture tyre pe lath jadke jab madad ko tarsega
Toh stepney to inhi kaminon ne leke ana hai.
Tujhe kahan kabhi tanha rehna hai?




-unn kaminon ke naam :P
