Place, Song, Movies..

Place
Last week, it rained pretty heavily in Islamabad. On friday, we went to "Pir Sohawa", a spot that comes after Daman-e-Koh and is a must-visit place for anyone coming to Islamabad. It takes around 20-30 minutes from Islamabad, once you are on the road for Daman-e-Koh. A cool and cold place (in winters) and one has to be prepared for bad weather as well.

Song
Recently listened to the song "Haan Yehee Rasta Hai" from the Indian movie Lakshya, here are a few lines from it (Roman Urdu version):

Haan yehee rasta hai tera, tu nay pehchaana hai
Haan yehee rasta hai tera, tu nay ab jaanaa hai

Tujhay ab yeh dikhaana hai...Roke tujhko aandhiyan, yeh zameen aur aasman
Payega jo lakshya hai tera...Lakshya ko har haal mein paana hain

Mushkil koi aajaaye tau, parbat koi takraaye jo
Taaqat koi dikhlaaye tau, toofan koi mandlaaye tau
Mushkil koi aajaaye tau, parbat koi takraaye tau
Barsay chaahay amber say aag, liptay chaahay pairon say naag
Payega jo lakshya hai tera...Lakshya ko har haal mein paana hain

Motivating, yeah? The beauty of these types of songs are that they can be used for motivating anyone for anything e.g. patriotism, career, study, etc. The combination of lyrics & music is excellent.

Movies
Here are a few movies that I watched recently and would like to share with you:

The Sixth Sense - Genre: Suspense; Pace: Slow; Action: None; Rating: Family movie
A movie about a young boy who can see & communicate with dead people's spirits, but he's not fascinated by this power, rather he fears about it. As the movie progresses, a psychiatrist tries to help him and both of them discover that these dead people are trying to communicate something to the boy for a purpose & he should do something for them in order to overcome this fear.

Hidalgo - Genre: Adventure; Pace: Average; Action: Rare; Rating: Family Movie
A story of a man & a fast horse named Hidalgo who are invited to participate in a multiple day Annual Traditional Arabian race which spans across a few Arabian countries, the race terrain mostly being desert. The movie is about the physical & mental hardships faced by him & his horse as the race progresses.

Euro Trip - Genre: Comedy (American Pie style); Pace: Above Average; Action: None; Rating: Contains a few odd scenes & obscene language.
A young man, from USA, falls in love with a woman, from Germany, as he communicates with her online. He then decides to meet and tell her about it. For that he teams up with his friends to go for a trip to Europe. As they go along, they face a few mishaps but finally reach the destination & meet the girl. The entertainment in the process is too good.

Swades (Indian) - Genre: Thinking over it; Pace: Average; Action: None; Rating: Family Movie
A bright engineer working at NASA, but basically from India, comes for a trip to his village in India on his vacations. Here, on seeing the hardships faced by the locals, he decides to do some good for his home village. In between, he falls in love with a woman as well, his childhood friend. The film depicts his emotional conflict i.e. whether to stay in India or return to the US.

Currently am thinking over the next post, it might most probably be technical, but strongly depends upon the mood and situation.
