Angie loved the song and the suhaag raat scene when Radhika had wounds on her body and Dev dresses her wounds and removes her jewellery (his fav romantic gesture always with Radhika) beautifully dresses her up in flower jewellery so that she feels beautifully dressed up for her Dev on the most important 1st night of her life her with Dev as husband.That was a very touching track though with lot of bad tracks then also but this scene always stays in my mind

The next VM on CB1 is based on the song "Woh Bhuli Daastan" from the movie 'Sanjog". I wanted to use ashram scenes for this song. But did not find all the scenes I wanted. So did use another episode from the same track to complete the song. This VM got a copyright notice one time and so hopefully this time, it would work.

I have titled it "To Memory". Two poems related to this title are as follows:

Memory, hither come

BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Memory, hither come,

And tune your merry notes;

And, while upon the wind,

Your music floats,

I'll pore upon the stream,

Where sighing lovers dream,

And fish for fancies as they pass

Within the watery glass.

I'll drink of the clear stream,

And hear the linnet's song;

And there I'll lie and dream

The day along:

And, when night comes, I'll go

To places fit for woe,

Walking along the darken'd valley,

With silent Melancholy.

To Memory

By Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

Strange Power, I know not what thou art,
Murderer or mistress of my heart.
I know I'd rather meet the blow
Of my most unrelenting foe
Than live---as now I live---to be
Slain twenty times a day by thee.

Yet, when I would command thee hence,
Thou mockest at the vain pretence,
Murmuring in mine ear a song
Once loved, alas! forgotten long;
And on my brow I feel a kiss
That I would rather die than miss.

Following is the VM "To Memory"

This next VM was finished yesterday as I started making it couple of days ago to divert my mind. I haven't been in a mood to make any new VMs. These last few days I was only consumed with news of that courageous girl "Damini" (name given by protesters). Even though I tried to make one couple of days ago, I gave up pretty soon because I couldn't concentrate. But once the news of her death came out yesterday night, I decided to finish it because I wanted to create something to divert my mind of all the ugliness that is prevalent today in the world.

This VM is made on CB1 episodes and is based on the song "Pyar Diwana hota hai" from the movie "Kati Patang". I have titled it "Fly Away" as it represents a world where there is beauty, love and freedom.

This title came to my mind because I prefer to think that "Damini" has finally flown away to a place where there is beauty and freedom. Rest in Peace - Courageous Damini.

Initially, I thought of a title "Birds of Passage" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This poem is about birds who migrate. Few lines of the poem are:

This is the cry
Of souls, that high
On toiling, beating pinions, fly,

Seeking a warmer clime.

But then I decided to use the title from a song by Lenny Kravitz; lyrics of the song are as follows.

"Fly Away" (Lenny Kravitz)

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly

I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away

Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

I want to get away
I want to fly away

Following is the VM "Fly Away".

I have made a new VM on CB1. Now I am only making VMs on CB1 if I find a song that I feel fits the scenes. This song "O Saiyaan" from the movie "Agneepath" suited Dev and Radhika perfectly during one of the tracks. This is after the burning track when Dev shows Radhika his unconditional love and brings back her confidence.

I have titled this VM "Beloved" using the title from a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This is also a title of a famous book by American author Toni Morrison. But the poem by Browning suits the theme of the VM, lyrics of the song and Radhika of CB1. Here the poem talks about despair until her beloved came and brought joy in her life.

Following is the poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

A heavy heart, Belovd, have I v borne Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Sonnet 25)

A heavy heart, Belovd, have I borne From year to year until I saw thy face, And sorrow after sorrow took the place Of all those natural joys as lightly worn As the stringed pearls, each lifted in its turn By a beating heart at dance-time. Hopes apace Were changed to long despairs, till God's own grace Could scarcely lift above the world forlorn My heavy heart. Then thou didst bid me bring And let it drop adown thy calmly great Deep being! Fast it sinketh, as a thing Which its own nature doth precipitate, Which thine doth close above it, mediating Betwixt the stars and the unaccomplished fate. Following is the VM "Beloved".
