One Name, too many achievements to claim…

R

osey Chan isn’t your everyday achiever, she’s an achiever par excellence. With multiple feathers on her head and only one ambition to pursue- make music. Her journey to making music isn’t about lyrical adventures; it’s about the constant involvement of influences that helps her keeping an open and aesthetic mind. The multi talented Miss Chan quotes attending The Royal College of Music broadened her ambition and the way she perceived music. Music as they say is the language of the soul, which helps breaking existing barriers and becomes a common medium around the world. After having graduated from the Royal College of Music, Miss Chan collaborated with Miss Cassie Yukawa only to be known as the Yukawa Chan duo who burst into the UK music scene in the year 2003 with extraordinary performances at the London South bank Centre, Wigmore Hall and Steinway Hall. In addition to these performances the Miss Chan along with Miss Yukawa have performed at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall, London with classical artistes. As compared to Miss Yukawa who was born in London with mixed parentage of English and Japanese, Miss Chan’s journey began when she was accepted at the Royal College of Music in the year 1992 with a scholarship to study piano and violin. From being competitors to being collaborators Yukawa- Chan duo have since then been the talk of the town having been called as the “Four hands one piano”. Revealing her plans in near future includes an orchestral collaboration with the English Chamber Orchestra and recording a solo album with improvisations.

A night under the silent sky

So beautiful I remember that night was,

With winds swirling by my side,

Like a fish in the tumbling tide,

Ever experienced this before??

Asked the trees to me as they roared,

Dumbstruck with the beauty around,

“No”, I said.. touching the soft grass that lay on the ground,

“I never knew a land like this existed before..

Like the curtailed dream of the thing I wanted in galore”,

“Maybe you never saw this the way..

You are looking at it today”.

“Open your heart to the world around, said one tree,

Believe in actions, and success will come to thee,

You may not realize this soon enough,

But as many bad times you encounter, it will make you more tough..

For every experience makes you learn some or the other thing,

You just have to stand for what you believe in,

Believe you can do it,

And you are already half way there.

No matter what others have to say,

No one tells you about yourself more than you may,

Ignore the voices that will try to pull you back,

They are those stinking shoes that no one wears,

And are about to be thrown out of the rack.

Never stop dreaming, because nothing is impossible,

Stay focused and live your dream,

You will achieve it, no matter how tough the way to your dream seems.

Samay ke saath behti...

Kehte hain yeh waqt rukta nahi kisi ki liye,
Saanson ke shuru hote hi aur saanson ke rukte tak,
Chalta hain ye jeevan apni gati se,
Bahut modh aate hain iss jeevan ke pahiye par,
Samay kaa haath thaam kar yuhin sang tu chal,
Mil jaati hain manzil yuhin hausla rakh kar,
Ki saamne khadi hain manzil teri,
Bas samajh naa paa raha hain tu use,
Apni aankh nahi, dil ke darwaaze ko khol,
Disha dikhaayega ye dil tujhe,
Aisa apne aap se bol.
Mann karta hain hawaa mein kaash udh sakta main,
Yuhin udte panchiyon ki tarah neele gagan ke neeche,
Behte neele paani ki tarah beh jaata khwaabon ko sahej ke,
Gum ho jaata inn hawaaon mein kahin,
Khwaabon ko par lagaake,
Yuhin udh jaaoon main door kahin sabse.

The girl I met on a rainy day..

The girl I met on a rainy day,                    
Seeing her I couldn’t keep my eyes away,
 There was something strange about her,
The depth in her eyes with so many things to share.
I kept looking at her as if the time wouldn’t stop,
Rain that fell simultaneously drop by drop,
The weather went cold capturing every expression of her,
I kept glaring at her my eyes just wouldn’t blink,
I kept drowning in her eyes just like a metal in water would sink,
The cool breeze went stronger as it blew,
Our umbrellas that followed the wind as they flew,
I didn’t realise what was happening, was it true?
Or was this just a figment of my imagination like a multi hue.

Introvert's Feelings

Ever since I saw her the first time,

I just couldn't wait to see her again,

Everytime I saw her,

I wished I could talk to her,

Everytime I talked to her,

I wished I could spend more time with her,

And everytime I spent more time with her,

I just wished I could tell her how I felt for her,

But everytime I tried telling it to her....

I woke up from my dreams,

only to realize...that this was just another dream,

in which I fail everytime to tell her,

Realizing the fact that she is 3000 miles away from me somewhere,

And probably I will never be able to see her again,

All I am left is with a discontented heart with a tremendous amount of pain....

my thoughts and me

Mumbai in the clutches of "Terror"

Ever since I knew,

Mumbai was called "City of Dreams" by few,

The city which never slept,

Peace, joy and harmony which crept,

City that nested a mix bundle of people,

A city which had liveliness in everything whether big or little,

City that knew no bounds,

City which is now under the threat of "terror spreading hounds",

Number of attacks which the city suffered,

Didn't let the spirit of locals go down with fear,

There was no one who could make things clear,

Until some brave policemen fought it out till their last breathe here,

No matter how hard they tried,

They unfortunately failed to survive,

This is the tale of 26/11,

Which can not be forgotten by anyone,

Yesterday, dear Mumbai witnessed yet another attack,

Throwing our confidence on National Security again out of track,

Yet there is no one to be blamed,

Till the time We, the Indians don't understand this game,

A game which the screwed up foreign agencies have been playing on us,

And we, the Indians, have been bearing all this without creating any ruckus,

Still waiting for the time, when our Indians will wake up to a new dawn,

When there will be victory of good over evil, and all the miseries gone,

Still waiting for my country to show the "terror hounds" who we are,

Country that can show them their place even in the most difficult hour.

Jai Hind
