Ae Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo Lyrics from Mera Naam Joker

(Aye bhai jara dekh ke chalo aage hi nahi pichhe bhi
Daye hi nahi baye bhi upar hi nahi niche bhi) - (2)
Aye bhai

Tu jaha aaya hai vo tera ghar nahi gav nahi
Gali nahi kucha nahi rasta nahi basti nahi
Duniya hai aur pyare duniya yah ek sarkas hai
Aur is sarkas me bade ko bhi chote ko bhi
Khare ko bhi khote ko bhi mote ko bhi patle ko bhi
Niche se upar ko upar se niche ko
Barabar aana jana padta hai
Aur ring mastar ke kode par koda jo bhukh hai
Koda jo paisa hai koda jo kismat hai
Tarah tarah nach kar dikhana yaha padta hai
Barbar rona aur gana yaha padta hai
Hiro se jokar ban jana padta hai - 2

(Aye bhai jara dekh ke chalo aage hi nahi pichhe bhi
Daye hi nahi baye bhi upar hi nahi niche bhi) - (2)
Aye bhai

Girne se darta hai kyu marne se darta hai kyu
Thokar tu jab na khayega paas kisi gam ko na jab tak bulayega
Jindgi hai chij kya nahi jan payega
Rota hua aaya hai rota chala jayega

(Aye bhai jara dekh ke chalo aage hi nahi pichhe bhi
Daye hi nahi baye bhi upar hi nahi niche bhi) - (2)
Aye bhai

Kaisa hai karishma kaisa khilwad hai
Janwar aadmi se jyada wafadar hai
Khata hai koda bhi rahta hai bhukha bhi
Fir bhi vo malik par karta nahi war hai
Aur insan yah maal jis ka khata hai
Pyar jis se pata hai geet jiske gata hai
Usike hi sine me bhokta katar hai

Aye bhai jara dekh ke chalo aage hi nahi pichhe bhi
Daye hi nahi baye bhi upar hi nahi niche bhi
Aye bhai

Sarkas ha ha ha
Ha babu yah sarkas hai sho tin ghante ka
Pahla ghanta bachpan hai dusra javani hai
Tisra budhapa hai

Aur uske baad maa nahi baap nahi
Beta nahi beti nahi tu nahi
Mai nahi kuch bhi nahi rahta hai
Kuch bhi nahi rahta hai
Rahta hai jo kuch vo khali khali kursiya hai
Khali khali tambu hai khali khali ghera hai
Bina chidiya ka basera hai na tera hai na mera hai

What a fool I was, what a dominated fool
To think you were the earth and sky
What a fool I was, what an addle-pated fool
What a muddle-headed dolt was I!

No, my reverberating friend -
You are not the beginning and the end

...

There'll be spring every year without you
England still will be hear without you
There'll be fruit on the tree and a shore by the sea
There'll be crumpets and tea without you
Art and music will thrive without you
Somehow Keats will survive without you
And there still will be rain
On that plain down in Spain
Even that will remain without you
I can do
Without you

You dear friend who talk so well
You can go to Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire!
They can still rule the land without you
Windsor Castle will stand without you
And without much ado,
We can all muddle through without you

Without your pulling it the tide comes in
Without your twirling it the earth can spin
Without your pushing them the clouds roll by
If they can do without you Ducky, so can I

I shall not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So go back in your shell
I can do bloody well without---

BYYYY GEORGE I really did it
I did it, I did it
I said I'd a woman and indeed I did
I knew that I could do it
I knew it, I knew it
I said I'd make a woman and succeed I did

Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
You are giving what I'm not taking
I'm not missing what we ain't making

Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed no tears,
I don't need a thing.
…………..Pawl carroack

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

(Wordsworth,

Sleeping well in younger years helps

Sleeping well in younger years helps keep memory sharp in old age: New Study | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & AnalysisIf you sleep well in your younger years, it may help keep your memory sharp once you cross 70 years of age, says a new study.

If you sleep well in your younger years, it may help keep your memory sharp once you cross 70 years of age, says a new study.

Michael K Scullin, PhD, at Baylor University examined 50 years of sleep research to determine whether improving sleep early in life might delay, or even reverse, age-related changes in memory and thinking, and came across studies that showed that sleeping well in middle age predicted better mental functioning 28 years later.

The article notes that the benefits of a sound night's sleep for young adults are diverse and unmistakable. One example is that a particular kind of "deep sleep" called "slow-(brain)-wave-sleep" helps memory by taking pieces of a day's experiences, replaying them and strengthening them for better recollection.

By the time people reach middle age, more sleep during the day, such as an afternoon nap, also helps people's memory and protects against its decline -- as long they don't skimp on nighttime sleep. But as they grow older, people wake up more at night and have less deep sleep and dream sleep -- both of which are important for overall brain functioning, said Scullin.

Researchers' extensive review began with studies as long ago as 1967, including more than approximately 200 studies measuring sleep and mental functioning. Participants ages 18 to 29 were categorised as young; ages 30 to 60 as middle-aged; and older than 60 as old.

Participants were asked how many hours they typically slept, how long it takes them to go to sleep, how often they wake in the middle of the night and how sleepy they feel during the day. The research also correlated results from numerous brain-wave studies and experiments dealing with sleep deprivation, napping and sleep intervention, such as sleep medications.

Scullin noted that if a person lives 85 years, he or she may sleep nearly 250,000 hours - more than 10,000 full days.

The article is published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.

To reach Vaikuntha (abode of Lakshmi and Vishnu), I pray to the Lord who is the cause and protector of this world, who is ever ready to save his devotees, who stops all the nefarious activities of demons, who as part of his play created the entire cosmic egg (brahmAnDa) through his breath, who provided great happiness to a woman (Yasoda) as a child (Krishna).

I bow with my forehead touching the earth and praise Goddess VANi (Saraswathi), who has a waist like a fine white sand (as in a beach), whose beautiful braided hair looks like a large gathering of bees, who protects the gods of heaven, who alone  conquered the heart of the lotus-seated Brahma, and who holds in her beautiful hands a string of beads (japamAla), a parrot, a lotus, and a book.

I bow with reverence to Lord Ganesha, who acquired the love of the daughter of the mountains (Parvathi, daughter of Himavantha), who is remover of evils, provides comfort to those who are devoted to Him, remover of all impediments, soft-spoken, provides bliss to the countless people of the world, likes sweet dishes, rides on an excited mouse, and gives good blessings and benefits.

I bow with great devotion to Lord Shiva, who is unstoppable in his cosmic dance, merciful, armed with a spear, has radiant matted hair and lotus-like face, wears early phase moon on his head, holds a clean skull bowl, who is destroyer of of Manmadha’s (Vishnu’s son) arrogance and pride, and who lives in the lotus-like minds of great sages like Narada.

I pray that the Mother of all mothers, the Mother of all the three mothers (three goddesses, Lakshmi, Parvathi, and Saraswathi), great Mother, who gave pain to the mother of enemies of devas (by killing demons), Mother who resides in the minds of all gods who believe in Her, Durga, our Mother, give me kindly great and strong poetic wealth.

O King (Shuka addressing King ParIkshit)! PrahlAda, even though like other children was engaged in drinking, eating, speaking, joking, playing, sleeping, moving around, discussing, etc., at the same time always being engaged in enjoying the nectar (pleasure) of thinking of NarAyana’s feet, the son of the demon king forgot about this world.

(When Hiranyakashipu asks PrahlAda what he learnt from his teachers, while replying that devotion to Vishnu is what he learnt, Prahlada defends that devotion in this poem). Can a bee that is used to take sweet nectar from crown flower go to other plants? Can a swan that enjoys the lilting winds at the pure river MaMdakini (in HimAlayAs) go to other rivers? Can a cuckoo used to eating tender leaves go to coral reefs? Can a partridge used to the inspiration of full moon’s brightness go to foggy seashores? How can a mind that revels in drinking the nectar of thinking of the lotus-like feet of NarayaNa think of anything else? O Father, your qualities are praised all over the world, why say so many words other than devotion to VishNu?

The meaningless life’s activities of those who do not have devotion to ViShNu are like sunrise for the blind, conch sounds for the deaf, teaching to recite great books to the dumb, desires of a eunuch, thankless relatives, offerings in ashes, riches of a miser, and wearing scents inside.

Is a body that is not dedicated to the lotus-eyed Vishnu a body? No, it is a leather bag filled with air. Is a throat that does not praise VaikunThavAsa (hari) a throat? No, it is a drum that makes dum-dum sounds. Is a hand that does not worship Hari a hand? No, it is a spatula made by a tree branch. Are the eyes that do not see the husband of Lakshmi (Hari) really eyes? No, they are holes in the walls of the body. Is a life without thinking about Cakri (Hari, who holds a spinning wheel on his fingers) a life? No, it is a bubble on the waves of water. Is a learned who does not have devotion to VishNu a learned person? No, he is an animal with two feet!

Just as a blind man following another blind man does not see anything significant, some people thinking that actions such as sacrifices are adequate and get tied to such actions do not see VishNu. Only those who believe in being on ViShnu’s side and go beyond action can see Him.

Even when the night-movers (demons) keep hurting him in several ways (on the orders of Hiranyakashipu who was angry that PrahlAda is devoted to Hari), PrahlAda, the son of rAkshasAs (demons), repeatedly keeps praying Hari by saying O Vishnu who lies on a serpent!, O destroyer of demons!, O Lord of the Universe!, O protector of those who seek refuge!

(After trying several ways to kill Prahlada, Hiranyakashipu thinks within himself) – I tried to drown him (PrahlAda) in seas, hit him with maces, threw him down from hilltops, cut him down with swords, stamped him down by a row of elephants, threatened, cursed, threw him in scary fires, and in so many ways tried to kill him. What a wonder that he does not die!

When Hiranyakashipu asks wherefrom he gets his support, Prahlada replied – O King of Rakshasas! For the strong as well as the weak, for you, me, and Brahma and other gods, for all the living beings, whoever is the support He is my support also.

When Hiranyakashipu asks where is Hari, PrahlAda replied – O father! Hari is in the oceans, in the air, in the sky, in the earth, in fire, in all directions, in daytime and night time, in those who light up the sky such as moon, in OMkAra, in the three deities (Brahma, ViShnu, Shiva), in all three genders, in everywhere; why look here and there?

O king of RakShasa! There is no need for a doubt whether He is here or there. Cakri (Hari) is everywhere, wherever you see you can find Him there.

O kid! You have been saying with great conviction that the lotue-eyed Hari is everywhere. Can you show Cakri (Hari) in this pillar? (Notice the use of the wordgikrin, which is simply a derogatory expression twisting the word Chakrin, indicating the contempt Hiranyakashipu has for Vishnu).

Breaking the pillar, came from it Lord Narasimha, who is neither human, nor a lion, but a combined lion-human shape with a lion’s face, as ViShNu’s incarnation displaying Hari’s mysterious ways.

Lord Narasimha then grabs Hiranyakashipu and kills him without violating the boon he got from Brahma, in a body that is neither human nor animal, in his lap which is neither ground nor sky, with his nails that are neither living nor lifeless, at the entrance which is neither inside nor outside, and at dusk which is neither day nor night.
