Udan Kabootar, Pigeon Fly
Look, Dekho
Aasman, Sky
This was a poem that my dad would recite to my sister and me, as kids. We would be in splits, as he’d explain that this was how English was taught to them. Literal translation. Today, this fella came and somehow I went back to these lines….so just had to share.

I remember that song from ‘Maine Pyar KIya’, the kabootar is one important character in that movie ha ha 🙂 Nice pics!
Heh…my dad used to recite “Udan kabootar, pigeon fly” too!
unfortunately whenever someone says kabootar I always think of maine pyar kiya ….
Photos are awesome.
Arrey Bhagyashree ki photo from MPK (the one in which she is wearing a white suit with a very, very large pink fluvver) kaha hai?
hehheh…just kidding!
how can we write the word kabootar and not remember MPK and Salman-Bhagyashree ? Man, thats more than 20 years old, now, isnt it ?
vry vry vry pretty …..
Jaish…..any Barjatya movie, an animal always plays the protagonist…… pigeon, dog, parrot….lol!
Giribala, was he from DAV Shimla too? 🙂
Ruchira, that was the idea…to repackage the song…lol.
Thanks Janu, I think I got lucky!
Rickie, I had the pink lace wala outfit stitched…lol….must search for the pic. The wardrobe was quite the rage then.
Roshan there was a time when me and my bestie would watch that movie everyday. We knew the dialogues and the sets also by heart….ha ha ha ha
Akita, hai na……..and just on the opp building can you imagine? 🙂
Anita, that was the idea….and it worked…..so many landed here…. lol!
Amit you can say that again. He just took off post the last pic when he realized his privacy was being invaded 😀
Kabootar jajaja was an anthem! And the word kabootar itself starts the song playing in my head 😀 Nice pics!
Susan, oh yeah a time when he wan’t all that beefy and weird….lol. Yeah….good ol’ days!
Lovely pics…only a lucky few can find a moody bird ready to oblige:)
Shilpa, 100% original poem 😀
Thank you Indiamap!
Ah, even I remembered the film, Maine Pyaar Kiya and how stupid Salman looked then with his beady eyes. How long it has been. As I write I can hear the kabootar chattering away in my window.
This post means so many things.
Joy always,
Susan
