nursery rhymes and patriotic songs
We had low voltage last night-the entire of last night.After bouts of thunder,lightning and drizzle(not rain!) we were subjected to "low voltage".This was a first time in here.The last time I'd seen such low voltage was in village.Anyways it was an all time low as in no tubelights ...forget pc...we had the fan on though(summer and power cut is the worst combi!).And so because there was nothing else we could have done...I wasn't going to study microwave in a candle...no way.And sleep to has its own nakhras.Her royal highness won't come if it ain't completely dark and cool and tired andgodknowsnotwhat constraints.So we(myself and di) started talking/gappe marooing on topics ranging from love,sex to books,music...ethics...custom traditions blah blah.Whatever we found.
By the time it was five am someone had started the topic on rhymes.And so we were trying to prove who remembered the most.
And so there it was starting with twinkle twinkle,johny johny,hickory dickory dock,higledy pigledy my black hen,pussy cat,ba ba black sheep,jack and jill,ding dong bell,mary had a little lamb,I'm a little teapot,one two buckle my shoe,rain rain go away,london bridge is falling down,hot cross buns,humpty dumpty,ring a ring a rosies,little miss muffet.Well, these were some that we came up with.Links for those who wanna refresh!!
(I don't think anyone has forgotten twinkle twinkle or johny johny :) For those who have-google it)
And then I remembered all those patriotic songs that were an intricate part back in school days.Being a kvian we had our fair dose of patriotism and these songs played a major part.I managed to remember the entire national anthem and vande mataram but I stumbled in all others including the famous sare jahan se achcha.Found the original lyrics in wikipedia.
Ther were some more of which I could barely remember the mukhda.Looked out for some of them.Ya,I love google!For those who wants to relive those memories a bit:
sarfaroshi ki tammana
ae watan ae watan
jahaan daal dal par
ab tumhare hawale watan
mere desh ki dharti
bharat ka rehna wala hoon
nanha munna rahi hoon
hind desh ke nivasi
hum sab bhartiya hain
vijayi vishwa tiranga pyara
*can't find link for some.found in school diary
