Shakespeare Updated 2017

Applying the timeless quotes from Shakespeare's works.

He came, he saw, he conquered- Modi in U.P.

To be, or not to be- RaGa as the face of Congress.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.- The wal of Kejri.

Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” -- U.P. voters

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. -  Applies to a lot of people strutting around in our lives. (You can have a go at applying it.)

Songs for All Occasions

I almost never tire of listening to some of these melodies from old Hindi films.

Machalti hui hawa mein chham chham hamare sung sung chale Ganga ki lehrein.

Ajnabi tum jaane pehchaane se lagte ho...

Tu laali hai savere wali gagan rang de tu mere man ka..

Yeh duniyawale poochhenge , mulaqat hui, kya baat hui, yeh baat kisise na kehna..

Lakhon hain yahan dilwale, aur pyar nahin milta, aankhon mein kisi ki wafa ka ikraar nahin milta..

Tumse badhkar duniya mein na dekha koi aur, zubaan par aaj dil ki baat aa gayi..

Jab chhaye, mera jadoo, koi bach na paaye

Phoolon ke rang se, dil ki kalam se..

Are yaar meri, tum bhi ho ghazab...

Of course, this is only a short list. There are lots more.

Dune Tunes

Dune Tunes

A dune has a life of its own
Wind gives it energy.
Here now, gone soon after,
Reappearing in a form anew

You can't create or destroy energy,
a wise man had said,
But when you have a dune around,
the same could be said of it

Seemingly destroyed, momentarily,
It rebuilds itself,
Somewhat like a soul..
Formless, timeless, eternal

If dunes were to sing,
what tunes would emerge?
What songs would be heard?
Of heroes, villains, or ordinary folk?

A dune can actually give
more than it receives,
and tune itself to play
the music you wish it to.
