Angel(lost in her
own world): Mama, I feel like we are in a dream, but that's not true, we are
real.
Me (to humour
her): What if we are actually in a dream?
Angel: What if
somebody is dreaming about daddy, daddy is dreaming about us, you are dreaming
about me and I am dreaming this!
I wonder if the
idea of nested dreams in 'Inception' came from a child! :D

I love the song
"Chanda re, chanda re" from the movie Sapney and sometime last year,
it was stuck in my head and I was singing it on a loop. That's when Angel
picked it up and surprised me by singing the first two lines!
A few days back I
was singing the song after a long time and she exclaimed it's a space song
(because moon, I had to ask for an explanation)
When I explained
the meaning of the first few lines she started laughing hard.
The song is - "Chanda re Chanda re,
kabhi to zameen par aa
kabhi to zameen par aa
Baithenge, Battein karenge
Tujhko aate idhar, laaj aaye agar
Odh k aaja tu baadal
ghane"
(A very) Rough
Translation - "Oh Moon, Oh Moon,
come to Earth some day,
we will sit and chat
come to Earth some day,
we will sit and chat
If you
feel shy while coming here,
wrap around some dense clouds and come"
wrap around some dense clouds and come"
She said it's so
funny it doesn't make any sense!!!
I will never be
able to sign the song without laughing again because when I think about it, it
actually doesn't make sense!
********
Yesterday, she
reminded me of the same song and asked me to sing the next lines, I did and
explained the meaning to her.
It goes like this "Chanda se puchhenge
hum saare sawal nirale
hum saare sawal nirale
Jharne kyon gaate hai,
panchhi kyon matwale?"
panchhi kyon matwale?"
Rough Translation:
"We will ask the moon
all kinds of questions.
all kinds of questions.
Why do the waterfalls
sing,
why are the birds so merry?"
why are the birds so merry?"
Angel: Moon
doesn't have a mouth, whoever has written this song is not very smart!
