Remixing old hindi hit songs

It has become trend nowadays in hindi movies . Remixing old hindi hit songs in their pictures is very common now . What is worst is film music directors are taking first two lines of old hindi hit songs and they remix it . Then what about rest of the song ?



The lyrics of those lines are not taken up from the old movies . That is something different , I can say ORIGINAL !!


Hindi movie songs of nowadays are full of Punjabi songs . It has become a rule that there should be atleast one Punjabi song , it is compulsory !!



My playlist in my home computer is full of such Punjabi songs . Out of them I personally like the song incomplete from the movie street dancer .




After listening to the remixed version , I downloaded the original one too . But I liked the remixed version than the original one .




That day is nearer where they will start remixing the remixed version of a song . Who cares about originality ?!

Why we worship God Shiva by offering bilva leaves ?

Today is Maha Shivaratri . We worship God Shiva on this day . We offer bilva leaves while praying . But why only the bilva leaves ?


Once a hunter had gone deep into the forest chasing an animal . Suddenly he heard the growl of a tiger nearby . Fearing the attack of tiger , he climbed up a tree nearby . Tiger stood under the tree waiting for him to get down .


So he had to spend the whole night on the tree . To keep him awake through out  the night , he started plucking the leaves of the tree one by one and throwing it down . But he was unaware that there was a shivling under the tree and the bilva leaves he was thrown pdown , were directly coming down on shivling !!


God Shiva was pleased with the offering made by hunter unknowingly and blessed him with health and wealth . Offering bilva leaves to God Shiva on Shiva ratri is believed to be dearer to God Shiva .

Why do we sit while performing havan?

This is my own thinking . I observed that whenever we are performing havan or homa  , we sit in front of fire . I observed that when the fire is lit , the people who are standing begin to feel hot and sometimes cough too . But not the people who sit near the fire . Why it is so?



According to Hindu tradition , we always perform havan , sitting on ground near the fire . But there is a scientific explanation for this .


We know when we lit a fire  , we get smoke . Now this smoke is hot and lighter than oxygen filled surrounding air . So , obviously the smoke rises upward towards the ceiling .



That means , the air at the ground level is still cool . Cool air is always heavy and settles down at the ground level . So people who are performing the havan are in a cool and oxygen filled air level .


When we performed house warming ceremony of our new house  , I observed that the ventilators of house are blackened . But not the walls .


This clarifies my argument on smoke as it is lighter than normal air . It tried to escape through the ventilators  as it has gone upward .


Based on same logic  , our ancestors made it a custom to sit when performing havan .

Power of mind .........

Once there lived a couple. They were happily married and made for each other.

But wife has fallen ill and no treatment was fruitful.  Now she is in her death bed. As a loving wife , she took a promise from her husband that after her death  , he will not remarry . If he did , she threatened that she will torture him as a ghost .





Husband agreed. Soon she passed away . Circumstances are such that he had to remarry . But his dead wife started giving trouble . He couldn't sleep during night . His life was miserable.



He went near a psychologist . Psychologist offered him help saying that if he can make the things clear to GHOST , she would understand and stop giving trouble .


Likewise he did . GHOST understood the plight of husband and stopped giving trouble.


Then psychologist explained . Husband's guilty conscious that he cheated his dead wife is the reason for trouble . When he explained his situation to GHOST which was in his mind, everything got solved immediately . This is the Power of mind.

No batsman from India scoring .....

Today is the second ODI of India and New Zealand . New Zealand batted first and scored 273 . I was watching the telecast . Seeing Guptill scoring boundaries per over made me uncomfortable .


Bumrah went wicket less . Guptill was punishing Bumrah very badly like he is Guptill's enemy . I felt very bad for Bumrah .


Bumrah could not cast his magic this time .

Situation is very tight . India has already lost 4 wickets for just 84 runs . All the star batsmen are back in pavilion . India need 189  runs from 186 balls. Better to stop expecting miracle .

New Zealand are out of T20 losing jinx

Today is the day of first ODI between India and New Zealand . New Zealand had lost all the T20 matches of the series to India .


But now they are out of that losing jinx . Today's match was a high scoring match as India batted first and gave the target of 348 to New Zealand .


Indian batsmen were scoring well as it is evident from the high score target . But Indian bowling and fielding are not as usual . I felt like that by watching ,Bumra  bowling wide balls unnecessarily .


New Zealand are now leading the series by  1 - 0.

Nervous New Zealand are the new chokers of cricket

Today is the day of final T20 cricket match between India and New Zealand . Though India has already won the series of 5 matches by 3 - 0 , I thought I would watch the chasing part of this match .


India won the toss and elected to bat first . They put the target of 163 . New Zealand started well . I thought they will try to win in this match .


It was proving right . Ross Taylor and the other batsman were going strong . The example for that is Indian bowler Shivam Dube's over .


He bowled only one over . But he gave away 30 + runs in that over itself !!! They had hit huge sixes . This time I thought New Zealand is going to win this match .


But after that , it was a dramatic collapse of
New Zealand . As long as Ross Taylor was there on the crease , there was a little hope of winning for New Zealand .


But nothing worked out for them . They have lost this match too . They seemed nervous as wickets went on falling .

Sublimation

I have witnessed the phenomenon of sublimation . Most of us have too . But I was not knowing that it is called sublimation .

What is sublimation ?

Sublimation is a process in which a solid directly gets converted into vapour . Meaning conversation from solid state to vapour state .

There are 3 types of objects . They can be in solid state like ice . They can be in liquid state like water . They can be in gaseous state like steam .


The examples given above are the 3 stages wherein the water gets converted from solid state to gaseous state . Getting converted from liquid to gaseous state is called vaporization . Whereas getting converted from solid state to gaseous state is sublimation . 


Day to day life examples 


I can think of two examples of sublimation in our daily life .

Camphor and naphthalene balls

I have seen the camphor used in daily pooja by my father . One thing I have to clarify . Sublimation is not a instantaneous process . A solid won't get converted into vapour form suddenly.  It slowly gets shrinked or becomes smaller . Then finally gone .


Same thing applies to naphthalene balls too . My mother keeps these balls under and in between her sarees . They gets sublimated slowly . Finally they are gone .
