Wake up Sid!

It’s around the corner (July 8th 2010) when I showcase my photographs at ARTifact, an exhibition featuring the work of 9 artists by Gensler in San Francisco.

Ever since I picked my first camera in Apr 2006 I have been dreaming. Now is my time to live it, so I better wake up.


I just can’t stop humming this bollywood track (http://new.saavn.com/CTwIex9VAQA)

SUNO TO ZARA HUM KO HAI YEH KEHNA
(Listen up a bit, I want to say this)

WAQT HAI KYA TUM KO PATA HAI NA
(What’s the time? you know it, don't you)

SO GAYI RAAT JAAKE DIN HAI AB JAAG UTHA
(Night has left and fallen asleep, the Day now wakes up)

AANKHE MASALATA HAI SAARA YEH SAMAA
(This whole world is rubbing its eyes)

AWAAZEIN BHI LETI HAI ANGDAIYAAN
(Even Stretches make their sound)

WAKE UP SID! SAARE PAL KAHE
(Wake up Sid! Every moment says…)

WAKE UP SID! CHAL KAHIN CHALE
(Wake up Sid, Let’s go somewhere…)

WAKE UP SID!
SAB DISHAON SE AA RAHI HAI SADA SUN SAKO AGAR SUNO
(Wake up Sid; it always comes from every direction, if you can hear, then listen)
WAKE UP!



YEH JO KAHE WOH JO KAHE SUN LO
(What he says, what she says, just listen once)

BAATE JO SAHI DIL KO LAGE CHUN LO
(You choose what seems right to your heart)

KARNA HAI KYA TUMHE YEH TUM HI KARO FAISLAA
(What you want to do, It’s up to you to decide)

YEH SOCH LO TUM KO JAANA HAI KAHAN
(Make up your mind, where do you want to go)

TUM HI MUSAFIR TUM HI TO HO CARVAAN
(You are the only traveler, you are the caravan!)

WAKE UP SID! SAARE PAL KAHE
(Wake up Sid! every moment says…)

WAKE UP SID! CHAL KAHIN CHALE
(Wake up Sid, Let’s go somewhere…)

WAKE UP SID!
