I was checking my most played songs in last 12 months. Statistics are accurate but I think I would not decide favorite list by number of times a song was played; sometimes I forget to stop music player and sleep like mud-boy whole night.
I think my top 15s are
- Mohit Chauhan & Neha Bhasin – Kuch Khass
- Farhan Akhtar – Tum Ho Toh
- Bill Withers – Ain’t no SunShine
- Julie London – Cry me a river
- Prem Joshua – Dabari N.Y.C. (The Merging Mudra)
- Tulsi Kumar, Saim – Sufi Tere Pyaar Mein
- Mithoon – Tuhi Mera
- The Rasmus – Living in a World Without You
- Lauren Christy – Steep
- Cyndi Lauper & Chris Isaak – Life Will Go On
- K’s Choice – Not an Addict
- Michael Learns to Rock – Blue Night
- Delta Goodrem feat Brian Mcfadden – Almost Here
- Cora & Alex – Way Back Into Love
What song do you think I’d like to put on #15th? I don’t mind if it’s Katy Perry’s I kissed a girl .
Update: June 27, 2009
Two weeks ago, you have posted songs that could take place in this list. I liked few of your songs and listened to them repeatedly. Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful songs. Today, I’m going to complete the favorite list.
For the record, I was completely dishonest from the beginning. Off the record, I can’t take a song shared by you and hurt the other ones. So, I added 15th one from my own choice. Here it goes:
- Mohit Chauhan & Neha Bhasin – Kuch Khass Max payne theme
- Farhan Akhtar – Tum Ho Toh U2 – Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
- Bill Withers – Ain’t no SunShine
- Julie London – Cry me a river
- Prem Joshua – Dabari N.Y.C. (The Merging Mudra)
- Tulsi Kumar, Saim – Sufi Tere Pyaar Mein
- Mithoon – Tuhi Mera Mithoon – Kuch Dard
- The Rasmus – Living in a World Without You
- Lauren Christy – Steep
- Cyndi Lauper & Chris Isaak – Life Will Go On
- K’s Choice – Not an Addict
- Michael Learns to Rock – Blue Night
- Delta Goodrem feat Brian Mcfadden – Almost Here
- Cora & Alex – Way Back Into Love
- The Godfather theme
Surprised? The reason, for which The Godfather theme is in this list, is weird. I have no idea what she uttered.

I was reading Aman’s Life with a meaning
I really liked his thought
… now I think the meaning of life lies in some contribution to the community/communities I belong. Little or more doesn’t matter, can be a software, can be piece of knowledge, can be a little help to some of those who need, can be a research for the greater betterment… doing something which so not limited only to myself.
Then, I started to think ‘how do I think about my life’? I had my homework done so I did not take much time to comment on Aman’s post.

redefine(’LIFE_MEANS’, ’stop thinking why PHP cannot compile `redefine`’);

During final year research project, known as CSE499 in CSE Department of NSU, we – Suzana, Tanzil and I were asked to write a paper on our project ‘vBulletin Calendar API‘. Suzana was happy with her grade but she was about to fly for post-graduation. I was not finished with my coursework and not much interested into writings. Eventually, Tanzil took the lead for writing paper on our project theme and he did good, very good. Our faculty advisor, K. Shajadul Hasan, must be credited because without his guidance and careful moves this paper would not have seen light on earth.
Five months afterwards, Suzana got admitted in University of Windsor, Tanzil got himself in The University of Sheffield and I was about to say ‘tata’, ‘good bye’ North South University. While doing course-analysis with Chairman secretary Mr. Saidur, our faculty advisor paid a sudden visit with smiling face. I was exited and let my project partners know the paper was selected for 11th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology – ICCIT 2008.
ICCIT 2008 was held in KUET but I did not show-up for the presentation. Our paper is not going to be published from IEEE. My friend’s efforts went in vain.
I didn’t stop working on that project. During last one year, whenever I got time, continued to work on it. A more specific implementation vBulletin XML-RPC-Server API has been released in vBulletin.org community. I feel good because I get direct and positive response from its users.
Have you listened to Kingston Trio’s famous song?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone, young girls picked them, every one.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing.
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago.
Where have all the young girls gone, gone to young men every one.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone, Long time passing.
Where have all the young men gone, Long time ago.
Where have all the young men gone, gone to soldiers every one.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing.
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago.
Where have all the soldiers gone, gone to graveyards, every one.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing.
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago.
Where have all the graveyards gone, gone to flowers, every one.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
The way 2008 started for me was not bad at all!
I didn’t know how to love a living thing: a human, a bird, an animal, a tree… never had long lasting feelings or passion for the place I live, cloths I wear, music I hear. Like an angel she came into my life and taught me love. I was not ready for that feelings.
When I came to know it was the ancient true feelings I was having, she left me. She was frightened at looking to the future I could possibly give her. The future, the life was not what she dreamt for. May be I could give that life, but I didn’t want to weave that way.
Few days ago, a friend (of mine) and I meet in a cafe. Let’s name him Herbert Pocket.
Pocket: I knew she would be doing this.
I said to myself, everyone knew that! I blinked my eyes twice and tried to give him a smile.
Pocket: I really am worried about you.
Here he goes… another attempt of gluing my broken heart.
Pocket: You know wherever she is, she is doing good. You should find another girl.
I blinked my eyes few more times; tried to affirm: “I’ll”.
Days pass by and I look into myself.. deeper and deeper. What do I actually want? Happiness?
What brings Happiness?
In 2008, I lost what I never had. Everyday I pretend to be someone else keeping a fake smile all over my face. Have you ever looked into my eyes?
Yes, I want Happiness. Happiness inside me, among the people I live with. But again, what’s Happiness? Not the bank balance, not the fame, not the human relationship, not the pizza, not the society, not the dream, not the desire I posses can bring me Happiness. I’ve all these… a good amount.
I know what brings Happiness and I want to share that Happiness with you. But today I am desperate to feel it, touch it, smell it… alone.
In 2009, I’ll get what I ever had. Even so I’ll be in “The Pursuit of Happyness“.
