sia ji ... aap bhi? 😆 😆 😆 kharboozay ko dekh k kharabooza rung pakrta hai 😊 unfortunaltely meray sath aisa kabhi nahi hua

pen, lee, dew, nups, an and dawn (btw dawn ... i cant wait to here what u ahve to say 😃)... a huge 🤗 to all of u 😊

alright guyz ... i m not good at poetry or finding images 😳 😳 😳 so all i can share with u right now is this little song 😊


[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TXyfNngS-c[/YOUTUBE]


this song is the title sequence of a very popular drama serial here ... "meri zaat zara-e-beneshaan" ... the title i guess seems pretty heavy 😳 it basically means that "i m a non-existent being" 😊

for the past several years, Pk dramas started following the saas-bahu formula bcos of their success in India ... in recent times the production houses seem to have realized that this formula wasnt really working here .... so now they've gone back to the previous weeklies for the most part ..... a tight storyline that has a beginning a middle and an end .... i really enjoy saas bahu serials but its often either because of the actors or a track that i m interested in .... never a serial throut the way ... i even lost interest in MRD eventually ... 😳 disappointed with the turns the story was taking towards the end

boy it feels good to be back the way i was as a kid ... eagerly sitting in front of television every week to find out what happens next ..... i saw the 10th epi of meri zaat last night and now i cant wait till next saturday to find out what happens next .... actually since the story is being told in flash back with this switch between past and present and the unraveling of past thru the present ... i know the end result of the past storyline so to speak ... but how was that end result reached? .... and what will be its consequences for the present track? questions questions .... but if this drama follows the usual format than it will have abt 24 epis in total which means 14 more epis.... 14 weeks .... before v reach the end........sigh

the reason i posted this song here is because the drama is based on a popular contemporary urdu novel of the same name .... the author is Umera Ahmed .... Sami... i know that u are interested in urdu poetry but what abt novels? i havent read the novel (which is y i dont knw wht will happen next 😆) but i ahve heard alot abt it .... everyone appears to be praising the novel .... which is y i m recommending it to u (and i think it will be available in bookstores selling sub-continental literature) ... i intend to read it and others by the same author over the summer vacations 😊

skep, and u all 😊..... it was this way in India once wasnt it? days of tihgt scriptwriting and therefore great storytelling? those r the dramas that stay with u the most and ahve the greatest recall value ..... so if interested than meri zaat is available on youtube .... except for one and two of the new guyz .... the acting is really great as well .... and its pretty cool to see the veterans in roles in which they were not required to give exagerrated expressions the way it was a few years ago .... whic became the reason for stop watching the local dramas

and if u dont have the time or the energy to spend hrs on youtube (i saw meri zaat for the first time last night so spent half the night and whole of today catching up ....luckily i didnt had much to study today 😃) well its a pretty good song (though the sound cd ahve been better) and sung by rahet fateh ali .... 😊

so guys ... enjoy the song 😊

oh btw .... some guy translated the song in to english in the comments section on youtube .. so if u dont get any words 😕

have fun😊

Hi sweetie,

no it s the title song 😊..... most of these weeklies r already finished products by th time they come on air .... hell i wd see the same actors in different channels and serials and i wd get confused abt which serial it was now😆😆😆 .... i wasnt really following theM at the time .... so the title song sequence basically consists of scenes from the serial itself .... Its a big hit here .... coming on music channels and radio and all .... but than rahet fateh ali is a really gd singer and that coupled with really moving lyrics ....
as for the drama ... like i said its a weekly .... abt 45 minutes of air time each saturdday ... whch makes it 10 hrs worth of vdos on youtube ..... i can post the firt episode here if u r interested 😊

@ Skep ..... some guy rote an english trnaslation in the comments section on youtube of this same song ... the version i hav e psoted here i mean

ok wait a minute ..... it took me a little while to find the part 1 on youtube ..... rest r there ... meanwhile.... here is a word by word translation of the song .... thx to that guy who rote on youtube ....

Who else will know
My heart's situation except you?
In front of you
Armageddon happened to me
How'd I state all that?
Those attrocities done to me!
Who'd? listen to my story?
Nobody's life partner
Neither can I share secrets
Lies became a truth here
Never did I object
Nor uttered a word
This loneliness, sadness!
Reflecting? all of me
My existance a non-existent
Walking on a lonely morning
Seeing lost evenings
Awake with wet eyes
Thinking about past moments
But a moment of hope
The hope of God
Never did I object
Nor did I complain
What should I tell you?
What did I get?
In response to my? patience
Of this knowing
The source of this pain
May I get some grief in heart
Who is mine, May I get
Let my world be happy
Turning hope into being sure

mind u its literal so seems a bit strange ... bt u'll ge the drift of the song

Ok ... here we go .... .Episode 1


btw ... the story is in flash back ...... switch from present to past to present .... and in some instances in later episodes i was confused and it seemed some scenes were missing from the upload but the parts that confused me have been so far cleared up .....

and so far the different aspects of the drama include....

romance 😳
conservatism vs. modernist clash
religion a so called mask of purity ....
long term consequences of certain events .....
there is a little saas bahu element in that takes the garb of the conser vs modernism clash .. but even that part is damn realist ..... samina pirzada is a class act afterall

what exactly happened in the past was revealed in epi 10 last night .... and it still not the full truth .... some aspects still missing .....

and oh ... i have overlooked tiny lapses in direction or acting because of the overall story and presentation...acting etc...


here we go .... episode 1 part 1 .... this part is only abt 3 mins .... part 2 coming up in the next post 😊
