Exploring the Depths of Love with "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai"

Introduction:

In the rich tapestry of Bollywood music, there exist songs that capture the myriad emotions of love with profound sincerity and tenderness. One such timeless classic is the heartwarming "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" from the beloved movie Saajan (1991). Composed by the talented duo Nadeem-Shravan and adorned with the soulful lyrics of Sameer, this song is a poignant portrayal of the depths of love and longing.

Melodic Melancholy: "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" is a masterpiece of melodic melancholy, with Nadeem-Shravan's composition evoking a sense of yearning and vulnerability. The gentle strains of the piano and the haunting melody of the flute create a poignant backdrop for the heartfelt lyrics. The music resonates with the pain of unrequited love, touching the listener's heart with its raw emotional intensity.

Lyrically Expressive: Sameer's lyrics in "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" are a heartfelt expression of the tumultuous emotions that accompany love. Each verse is imbued with poetic imagery and profound sentiment, capturing the essence of longing and devotion with exquisite beauty. The words speak directly to the heart, articulating the pain and joy of being consumed by love in all its glory.

Iconic Rendition: No discussion of "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" would be complete without acknowledging the iconic rendition by the legendary playback singer Kumar Sanu. His velvety voice infuses the song with a depth of emotion that is both mesmerizing and heart-wrenching. Sanu's emotive performance, coupled with Nadeem-Shravan's evocative composition, elevates "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" to the realm of timeless classics.

Everlasting Impact: Decades may pass, but the impact of "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai" remains as potent as ever. Its poignant melody and heartfelt lyrics continue to resonate with audiences, transcending time and space. As we listen to this timeless classic, let us be reminded of the universal experience of love and the enduring power of music to capture the essence of the human heart in all its beauty and complexity.

Update: my book with the new Theory of Art is also on Flipkart

Welcome back to Delfikorakle, my beloved blog in a new avatar. Please note that all our work has been moved to Facebook and subscribers to my blog have almost all been redirected. I keep this blog around mostly for sentimental reasons. It looks like the websites from the aughties and having lived through the aughties with my stylistic sense intact, I feel like I should keep this blog around as well - mostly for the retro vibe it has.

Here is some content that I wrote with the help of our company's A.I. Please take everything the A.I. says with large doses of salt, and let me know what you think.

Best regards,

Anand Manikutty

Welcome back to Delfikorakle, my beloved blog in a new avatar.

In this revamped blog, I'm thrilled to shift my focus towards the fascinating world of history. While I've previously explored the realms of strategic management and computer science, history has captured my heart and ignited a newfound passion within me. It's a discipline that demands humility as we encounter the stories of those who came before us, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations. Truly, the mighty have often met their downfall! However, history is not only humbling but also incredibly captivating, with countless contributions from both experts and enthusiasts. As we delve into its depths, we gain a wider perspective by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I am always trying to give myself new challenges. My latest challenge was to write a book of poetry. And on that note, I'd also like to share an exciting update with you all: my book iof poetry, also presenting a fresh Theory of Art, is now available for purchase on leading platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. It's the culmination of my in-depth exploration into the world of art, offering unique insights and thought-provoking ideas. Below is a screenshot for your reference.

As for my work in history, I am working on a historical column for Namaste Bharat magazine. I'm grateful for your continued support, and I invite you to join me on this exhilarating journey into history. Together, let's unravel the mysteries of the past, celebrate the culinary achievements of remarkable individuals from times past, and reflect on the lessons that shape our present and future.

Thank you for being a part of Delfikorakle's evolution, and I look forward to sharing many insightful historical narratives and discoveries with you in the days to come.

Stay tuned for more intriguing updates!

Warm regards,
Anand

Welcome to Delfikorakle: A Time Capsule of Thoughts

This blog has found a new home within the microblogging realm of Twitter and the collaborative ambiance of Facebook Groups. We've followed the lead of The Artist Formerly Known As Elon Musk, who, incidentally, has recently given Twitter a new moniker. Our hub is now on X and Facebook Groups.

Since 2002, I've been navigating the blogosphere, originally dwelling at Zoo Station, which earned the IndieBloggies Award in 2004. While Zoo Station is a thing of the past, Delfikorakle lives on, capturing moments and musings that span technology, finance, organizational behavior, tech management, and strategic management. For the latest insights, check out our Facebook Groups.

Expect not a Pulitzer from this blog; it's more of a time capsule – a digital scrapbook, if you will.

Disclaimer: This blog doubles as an A.I. lab for our company. Approach the content with a grain of silicon. While the formatting might lack polish, the information is accurate, including the kudos. I experiment with various HTML elements as part of A.I. research.

All our subscribers have migrated to Facebook Groups, which, by the way, exude professionalism akin to Elon's memes. By no means, am I an Elon Musk hater. In fact, I've consistently supported his ventures, and a dedicated post on Elon Musk will soon grace this blog. My jests about his internet antics are lighthearted fun, not shade-throwing.

Social Media Utility Ratings:

U(t, Facebook Messenger): Positively rated, though WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram are equally commendable.
U(t, Facebook): Some find it positive, but for many, it leans toward the negative.
U(t, Twitter): Mostly negative, unless you're a verified superstar.
U(t, Facebook Groups): Slightly positive, particularly with the Schedule Ahead feature, but not universally appreciated.
U(t, Blogger): Dusty and outdated, akin to an encyclopedia in your grandma's attic.
U(t, Reddit): High and positive, especially if you're adept at navigating anonymous user IDs and uncovering research papers.

Social media metrics are akin to entries in a database—download an open-source database and create your own numbers game. Immediate utility remains elusive unless you're a digital influencer.

Who cares about Likes from a decade ago? Exactly. It offers perspective on the social media circus. As a FIRE movement enthusiast, consider investing time in long-term goals instead of social media.

Thanks for visiting, and remember: a tweet a day won't keep the doctor away, but a good laugh might! 🚀🤓

My latest column in Pravasi Indians magazine is now out!

This particular issue is on Information Asymmetry.

Hope you enjoy reading it.

We generated a collage using Google's images. We are trying to see if we can get better photos for me show on Google Search. So far, that has not happened.

[==+==]

Update (as of Mar 23, 2022): here is what my Google Images search results currently look like. The results are fine but they are just not the photos of me I want to have at the top of the search results. Npt quite sure how to influence that.

New book out, theme of history

We have now come out with a book of recipes to go with the book on the Mughal Era.

Please find a screenshot of the book of recipes below.

Please be aware that our company is using this blog to run some experiments using A.I. software. Please don't mistake it for an actual blog.

This blog is not going to be kept up to any sort of professional standards in terms of formatting or anything else.

The other main use for this blog is to try and influence Google Search results.

Welcome to Delfikorakle: A Time Capsule of Thoughts

Has this blog moved? In a nutshell—yes, but with a modern twist. And what is this? Just some raw material for A.I. to process. Don't waste your time on this blog. Or on all of Twitter, for that matter, at a first degree of approximation. Once again, this is not even -supposed- to be human readable. Only machine readable. That's the TL;DR. And, yes, I have created beautiful, beautiful websites. But, just for fun, I keep this one around. People might wonder - can this guy create beautiful websites? Is he another Bill Gates? No, dear reader. I am more Steve Jobs. Take a look at this blog to take a note of some beautiful websites I have personally created. [WARNING: Nerdy humor ahead!]

Okay, now for a longer discussion. Mostly, we've migrated to the microblogging universe of Twitter and the communal delights of Facebook Groups. The Artist Formerly Known As Elon Musk even renamed Twitter to something else. So, our hub is now on X and Facebook Groups.

I've been in the blogging game since 2002, back when the blogosphere was still figuring out its WiFi password. After a stint at Zoo Station, our digital abode now resides in the realm of Facebook Groups. Our blog Zoo Station won the IndieBloggies Award in 2004, but I no longer blog there partly because I don't blog very much any more and partly because Zoo Station no longer exists. But I do post here from time to time. Because, let's face it, blogging is as mainstream as avocado toast now, and keeping a time capsule of past posts seemed like a hipster thing to do. Delfikorakle lives on.

I started here with tech and computer science musings, but my interests now dance around finance, organizational behavior, tech management, and strategic management. Check out our Facebook Groups for the freshest takes. I am very glad that my posts have struck a chord in the hearts and minds of our readers. No guarantee that we will keep making those posts. We will, if we can automate some of this. Otherwise, probably not.

I am also delighted to announce that the startup I keep mentioning from time to time (formally called Delphic Ventures/Qwykr Technologies) has been selected into a number of incubation programs, including Google For Startups, Microsoft For Startups, IIM Bangalore's yearly incubation program and IIM Kashipur's FIED incubation program.

I am also happy to announce that Namaste Bharat Magazine, the newsmagazine I cofounded, is now called the Pravasi Indians Magazine. It has featured articles, videos or Tweets on a number of interesting people in the Indian diaspora or writing interesting stuff about the Indian diaspora, including some lesser known names such as Reena Pushkarna, Maharajah Madhewoo and Ghee Bowman via its website or the channels of its associates. We are trying to develop cool products, including websites and web apps. Check out also Slurrp hosted at: http://www.slurrp.com, a website that Qwykr Tech helped launch. Stay tuned for more details!

Now, don't expect a Pulitzer from this blog; it's more of a time capsule – a digital scrapbook, if you will.

Disclaimer: This blog moonlights as an A.I. lab for our company. Take what you read here with a grain of silicon, although I should add that at least some of the stuff on here is accurate, including the kudos stuff. I simply don't spend any time on formatting this weblog. I also have tried including all sorts of HTML in some of the posts. Again, that is because this blog is being used for A.I. experiments.

All our subscribers have migrated to Facebook Groups, which, by the way, are as attractive and professional as Elon's memes. Btw, I am, by no means, an Elon Musk hater. In fact, I have almost always supported Elon Musk's ventures, and I will be making a post on Elon Musk on this blog. I feel like I have to say that because, otherwise, it might seem like I was throwing shade on Elon Musk with one of my earlier comments (since it was posted, it has been deleted), while actually I am just having some light hearted fun while poking fun at his antics on the Internet and elsewhere. In fact, I am also tempted to create a website explaining Elon Musk's thoughts for a wider audience. But it doesn't seem like a good use of my time. After all, Elon Musk can do that himself, right? And nothing can explain how much he has been misunderstood on Twitter like even more Tweets, right? Well, any way, I will wait for Elon to sponsor that project I have in mind for him, namely, The Hitchhiker's and Everyman's Guide to Elon Musk. Until then, be safe on that Twittersphere.

Social Media Utility Ratings:

U(t, Facebook): Slightly positive for some, likely negative for most.
U(t, Twitter): Negative for almost everyone, unless you're a verified superstar.
U(t, Facebook Groups): Slightly positive with the Schedule Ahead feature, but likely negative for most.

U(t, Reddit): High and positive, especially if you're a ninja with anonymous user IDs and a knack for digging up research papers. Knowledge is power, baby!

Social media metrics are like entries in a database - you can download an open-source database and make your own numbers game. Unless you're a digital influencer, the immediate utility is a tad elusive.

Who cares about the Likes someone got a decade ago? Exactly. Gives you some perspective on this whole social media circus.

As a FIRE movement aficionado, I'd say time spent on social media might be better invested in your long-term goals.

Thanks for stopping by, and remember: a tweet a day won't keep the doctor away, but a good laugh might! 🚀🤓
