First off, I should mention that I am not an authority on Twitter. In fact, I haven’t been very active on it. The reason I write this article is that I have been paying a good attention to twitter lately, and because my followers count has just touched 2000 a few while back (not much I know but enough for someone like me who’s never been a social networking junkie). The following few tips will help you increase your twitter followers just as they have helped me.

We all know computer viruses. I mean every jack and jill these days have an idea of what computer viruses are. It looks like they have gained celebrity status these days. Millions of infected computers worldwide home millions of species of viruses.

Look at this picture, doesn’t it remind you something? This innocent outcast virus and its’ family wants a place in your laptop, a little unused corner perhaps. Would you mind letting him in?
System administrator’s nightmare and security companies lucky mascot, a computer virus, can aptly be called a virtual disease which affects a computer system and makes it sick, forcing to act in a manner undesired by the user. Ok, I won’t be too harsh on a pure little piece of code, hey, did I tell you I love viruses for the kind of creatures they are. I appreciate their zeal, their spirit,the passion to multiply!

A beautiful comparison between Friendship & Love in the form of quotes.

Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust.
Love is when you feel like you are the only two around.

Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care.
Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart.

Friendship is being close even when you are far apart.
Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart
when they are not near.

Dil aaj shayar hai from the movie Gambler, music by SD Burman, Lyrics by Neeraj & very well sung by Kishor Kumar. My favorite lines, well all of them. Still, Chahat ki mehfil mein gum tera lekar kismat se khela jua & lines in the last verse Hum to musafir hain koi safar ho hum to guzar jayenge hi, lekin lagaya hai jo dao humne, woh jeetkar aayenge hi.

Lyrics of Dil aaj shayar hai
Dil aaj shayar hai, gum aaj nagma hai, shab yeh ghazal hai sanam
Dil aaj shayar hai, gum aaj nagma hai, shab yeh ghazal hai sanam
Gairon ke sheron ko o sunnewale, ho is taraf bhi karam

Katra Katra milti hai katra katra Jeene do from the movie Ijazzat is a very sweet & melodious song. I just love the way it’s sung by Asha ji. Another timeless classic by the great duo, R.D. Burman & Gulzar. All the songs of movie Ijaazat are spell-bounding. I have earlier posted another lovely song Mera kuch saamaan Tumhare paas para hai here.

Lyrics of Katra Katra milti hai

[ Katra Katra milti hai
Katra Katra Jeene do
Zindagi Hai -2, Behne do -2
Pyaasi Hoon main pyaasi rehne do
Rehne do na ] -2

Munh ki baat sune har koi dil ke dard ko jaane kaun….this ghazal makes me cry every time I hear it… strike something in mind? Yes, Neem ka ped serial that aired on DD-1 long time back…remember Budhai ram? (the character played by Pankaj Kapoor in Neem ka ped).

Our good old Doordarshan days when cable tv crap was nowhere..what a time that was! Still makes me nostalgic thinking about it….wish I could just go back and turn back the time…sigh, not possible!…I can however get you a list of programs broadcast on DD national. Back to the song, listen to it, its’ sooo soothing and touching. The lyrics are very touchy.

Ek tha gul aur ek thi bulbul is a melodiously romantic song from the movie Jab Jab phool khile, another gem of Rafi, music by Kalyanji Anandji.  I have a certain liking for songs that have story-telling in them. This song is composed around the story of a Gul & Bulbul and elegantly keeps the flow going. Dedicated to all the Guls and Bulbuls with finished or unfinished stories. Listen to the song below. Sorry no video this time, could not locate any good quality video anywhere.
