Kids are participating in patriotic song event at our home. Thought of putting together all the popular Indian patriotic songs with the lyrics & relevant information/links in this blog entry.

1. Indian National Anthem - Jana gana mana

Jana gaṇa mana adhināyaka jaya he
Bhārata bhāgya vidhātā
Punjāba Sind Gujarāṭa Marāṭhā
Drāviḍa Utkala Banga
Vindhya Himāchala Yamunā Gangā
Ucchala jaladhi taranga
Tava śubha nāme jāge
Tava śubha āśiṣa māge
Gāhe tava jaya gāthā
Jana gaṇa mangala dāyaka jaya he
Bhārata bhāgya vidhāta
Jaya he jaya he jaya he
Jaya jaya jaya jaya he!

2. Sare jahan Se Achchaa
sāre jahāñ se acchā hindostāñ hamārā
ham bulbuleñ haiñ us kī vuh gulsitāñ[10] hamārā

ġurbat meñ hoñ agar ham, rahtā hai dil vat̤an meñ
samjho vuhīñ hameñ bhī dil ho jahāñ hamārā

parbat vuh sab se ūñchā, hamsāyah āsmāñ kā
vuh santarī hamārā, vuh pāsbāñ hamārā

godī meñ kheltī haiñ us kī hazāroñ nadiyāñ
gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e janāñ hamārā

ay āb-rūd-e gangā! vuh din haiñ yād tujh ko?
utarā tire[11] kināre jab kāravāñ hamārā

mażhab nahīñ sikhātā āpas meñ bair rakhnā
hindī haiñ ham, vat̤an hai hindostāñ hamārā

yūnān-o-miṣr-o-rumā[12] sab miṭ gaʾe jahāñ se
ab tak magar hai bākī nām-o-nishāñ hamārā

kuchh bāt hai ki hastī miṭtī nahīñ hamārī
sadiyoñ rahā hai dushman daur-e zamāñ hamārā

iqbāl! koʾī maḥram apnā nahīñ jahāñ meñ
maʿlūm kyā kisī ko dard-e nihāñ hamārā!

3. Kadam Kadam Badhai ja
kadam kadam badhaye jaa khushi ke geet gaye jaa
yeh jindagi hain kaaum ki tu kaaum pe lutaye jaa
kadam kadam badhaye jaa khushi ke geet gaye jaa
yeh jindagi hain kaaum ki tu kaum pe lutaye jaa

tu sher hind aage badh, bandhe se phir bhi tu na darr
udake dushmano ka sir, jo de watan badhaye ja
tu sher hind aage badh, bandhe se phir bhi tu na darr
udake dushmano ka sir, jo de watan badhaye ja
kadam kadam badhaye jaa khushi ke geet gaye jaa
yeh jindagi hain kaaum ki tu kaum pe lutaye jaa

chalo dilli pukarti hume disha sambhali
lakh ye bighadke lehraye ja lehraye ja
chalo dilli pukarti hume disha sambhali
lakh ye bighadke lehraye ja lehraye ja
kadam kadam badhaye jaa khushi ke geet gaye jaa
yeh jindagi hain kaaum ki tu kaum pe lutaye jaa
kadam kadam badhaye jaa khushi ke geet gaye jaa
yeh jindagi hain kaaum ki tu kaum pe lutaye jaa

4. Ham Honge Kaamyab
Honge kaamyaab, honge kaamyaab
hum honge kaamyaab ek din
ho ho mann main hai vishwas
poora hai vishwas
hum honge kaamyaab ek din.

hogi shanti charo aur
hogi shanti charo aur
hogi shanti charo aur ek din
ho ho mann main hai vishwas
poora hai vishwas
hogi shanti charo aur ek din

hum chalenge saath saath
dale haathon main haath
hum chalenge saath saath ek din
ho ho ho mann main hai vishwas
poora hai vishwas
hum chalenge saath saath ek din.

Nahi darr kisi ka aaj
nahi bhay kisi ka aaj
Nahi darr kisi ka aaj ke din
ho ho mann main hai vishwas
poora hai vishwas
nahi darr kisi ka aaj ke din.

All about wrapping, packing into boxes, loading to the container..

I know most of you don't like the moves mainly due to the pain involved in packing, clearing, cleaning, setting up at new place etc. You can't escape this one thing if you want to move especially cross globe after staying for 15 years. Our stuff was been picked up yesterday after days of organizing, trashing unnecessary stuff, dropping reusable ones at friends & good will stores. It took two 12 hour days for the packers to do the packing, putting them in boxes, loading into two different trucks (one for the stuff that goes in the ship, other one for the stuff that goes in air).

... will update this post with more details later..

First Post..

I have been thinking about start blogging about my move to india from USA. Not getting time as I have been busy taking care of LOT of things for the move. As I am coming closer to the move, created this blog and will try to post my experiences regularly from now onwards.

Named this blog as Silicon Valley US to Silicon Valley India. You must have guessed it by now that I am moving from California Bay Area to Bangalore.

Stay tuned for pictures, videos etc in my upcoming posts..
