Psst! I still have a few copies up for grabs, so past your all-time favorite Bollywood lyrics in the comments below and win yourself a copy now! xoxo
Hello :) so I’ve been meaning to tell you about this awesome album I came across recently. This wonderful chappie called Mikey McCleary has a whole CDs-worth of proof that Classic Bollywood is truly timeless. In fact at his album preview at Blue Frog, he brought back to life all that those heart-breaking old-school Bollywood songs were meant to be; and he did it with a very Moulin Rouge meets Chicago ba-dum dum beat to boot!
P.S. Kalki Koechlin was there (btw she and Mikey go back to the coke jingle they did together with Imran Khan) and she also told me what she thought of this album! Of course musical muses Anushka Manchanda, Mauli Dave, Suman Shridhar (via satellite from Berlin! Very OB1 Kenobi I thought.) and Pallavi Sharda joined Mikey on stage and stunned us all… wanna see?

Who is, The Bartender?
Mikey McCleary goes by the name “the Bartender” when he’s on stage, the album – Classic Bollywood, Shaken Not Stirred – is a seductive, late night drinks themed album featuring some of the most beautiful songs from 50s and 60s Bollywood which have been remade in a jazzy, sexy way that is true to the soul of the original songs. It includes Khoya Khoya Chand from Shaitan and Tum jo mil gaye ho from the coke “invisible bottle” TV ad.

I also loved seeing Pallavi Sharda break out some classic (aka full emo) Bollywood style dance moves during Mauli Dave’s rendition of Chalte Chalte…

I think my all time favorite lyrics are:
“Honth pe liye hue Dil ki baat hum
Jaagte rahenge aur kitne raat hum
Mukhtasar si baat hain Tumse Pyaar hain
Tumhara intezar hain
Tum pukar lo…..
Dil behel tou jaayega Iss khayal se
Haal milgaaya tumhara Aapni haal se
Raat yeh karar ki Bekarar hain
Tumhara intezar hain…”

there are so many songs that I love but since Jagjit passed away today
my mind just cant stop playing his ghazals.
Hazaaron khwahishein aisi k har khwahish pe dam nikley
bohot mere armaan lekin fir bhi kam nikley
Nikalna khuld se aadam ka soonte aaye hain lekin
Bahot be-aabru hokar tere kooche se hum nikle
Kudos to Ghalib Sahab

Mine would be :
Jab Bhi Khayaalon Mein Tu Aaye Mere Badan Se Khushboo Aaye
Jab Bhi Khayaalon Mein Tu Aaye Mere Badan Se Khushboo Aaye
Mehke Badan Mein Raha Na Jaaye Raha Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jeeya Jaaye Na Tere Bina Jeeya Jaaye Na
Bin Tere Tere Bin Saajna… Saans Mein Saans Aaye Na
Tere Bina Jeeya Jaaye Na Tere Bina Jeeya Jaaye Na

Hey Miss M…dis 1 I love :)
Jab koi baat bigad jaaye jab koi mushkil pad jaaye
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz
Ho chaandni jab tak raat deta hai har koi saath
Tum magar andheron mein na chhodna mera haath
Na koi hai na koi tha zindage mein tumhaare siva
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz
(Rele xcited abt The Bartender CD…hope to win it…PLsss)

Hi Malini…hws u
I love this song b/c the lover tells his beloved 2 stay positive abt life and expresses his love beautifully. (RIP Mr Jagjit Singh)
Ek Pyaar Kaa Naghamaa Hai, Maujon Ki Ravaani Hai
Zindagi Aur Kuchh Bhi Nahin, Teri Meri Kahaani Hai
Do Pal Ke Jeevan Se, Ek Umr Churaani Hai
Zindagi Aur Kuchh Bhi Nahin, Teri Meri Kahaani Hai
Toofaan To Aanaa Hai, Aakar Chale Jaanaa Hai
Baadal Hai Ye Kuchh Pal Kaa, Chhaakar Dhal Jaanaa Hai
Parachhaainyaan Rah Jaatin, Rah Jaati Nishaani Hai
Zindagi Aur Kuchh Bhi Nahin, Teri Meri Kahaani Hai
Ek Pyaar Kaa Naghamaa Hai

my most fav song/lyrics
Aap Ki Ankhon Mein Kuch – Ghar – Vinod Mehra, Rekha (duet)
Aap ki aankhon mein kuch maheke hue se raaz hai
Aap se bhi khoobsurat aap ke andaaz hai
Aap ki aankhon mein kuch maheke hue se raaz hai
Lab hile to mogare ke phool khilte hain kahin
Aap ki aankhon mein kya saahil bhi milte hai kahin
Aap ki khaamoshiyaan bhi aap ki aawaaz hai

Maanga jo mera hai
Jaata kya tera hai
luv the forthright with which he asks…..:-)
Maine kaun si tujhse jannat maang li
Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali
Chahiye jo mujhe
Kar de tu mujhko ata
Jeeti rahe saltanat teri
Jeeti rahe ashiqui meri
Dede mujhe zindagi meri
Tenu dil da vasta

so many songs, but this one is my fav
ajeeb daastaan hai yeh
kaha shuru kaha khatam
yeh manzilein hai konsi
na woh samajh sake
na hum

Lag ja gale ke phir yeh hasi raat ho na ho, shayad phir iss janam mein mulakat ho na ho.. …humko mili hai aaj yeh ghadiya naseeb se, ji bhar ke dekh lijiye humko kareeb se, phir aapke naseeb mein yeh baat ho na ho, shayad phir.. This is my all time Favorite Bollywood lyrics! : )
October 11th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
I love .. Yeh samaa, samaa hai yeh pyaar ka
kisi ke intazaar ka
dil na chura le kahin mera, mausam bahaar ka.. Yeh sama .. …
And also, Abhi na jao chod kar ke dil abhi bharaa nahi, abhi abhi toh aayi ho abhi abhi toh.. Abhi abhi toh aayi ho bahaar banke chhayi ho
Hawa zara mahak toh le nazar zara bahek toh le
Ye shaam dhal toh le zara.. yeh dil sambhal toh le zara.. : )

My Fav lyrics would be:
Song: Naam Gum Jaayega from the Bollywood movie KINARA
“naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe
wakt ke sitam kam haseen nahee, aaj hain yahaa kal kahee nahee
wakt ke pare agar mil gaye kahee, meree aawaaj hee.. ..
jo gujar gayee, kal kee baat thee, umar to naheen yek raat thee
raat kaa siraa agar fir mile kahee, meree aawaaj hee.. ..
din dhale jahaa raat paas ho, jindagee kee lau unchee kar chalo
yaad aaye gar kabhee jee udaas ho, meree aawaaj hee.. ..”
October 11th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
and also my other fav song!
Song:Jeene Ke Ishare from the Bollywood movie PHIR MILENGE.
“Kuch Khushbuyen
Yaadon Ke Jungal Se Beh Chali
Kuch Khidkiyan
Lamhon Ke Dastak Pe Khul Gayi
Kuch Geeth Purane Rakhe The Sirhaane
Kuch Sur Kahin Khoye The Bandish Mil Gaye
Jeene Ke Ishare Mil Gaye
Bichde The Kinare Mil Gaye”

I just enroll myself into a bartending school and I get to attend some interesting bartending courses and classes with them. I am trying my best to be an aspiring bartender even though I have zero experience in it. It is fun so far because I learn a lot from the classes and I will give my very best. I am now looking for some bartending kit that is suitable for a newbie like me. I tried to do my research on it online and the search engine brought me to your post. I did found some informational websites online. Please post more information like this one. I am very thankful for this and I will continue to keep an eye on your website. Thank you so much.
