Last Friday, we folks at Cigniti hosted one of our biggest and marquee clients to our office in Hyderabad. It was done in a quite a traditional format, with lamp lighting, getting them to wear a turban, applied tilak, and got them adorned with garlands and a silk shawl.   Entire project team members belonging to the client welcomed them into our facility holding placards, which told the story of the journey with the client so far, while our PA system was playing popular track from the movie, Kai Po Che.  Below video, photos, and beaming smiles tells the rest of the story, and the beaming smi

Lyrics and Translation of the Background Song from the movie Kai Po Chi

Rangeen Parodh aavi, khushiyon sange laavi
harkhaaye haiyu haye haye

A colorful dawn has come, what joys it has brought,
the heart is filled with joy..

Aashani kirano vikharaaye, umangevi chhalkaaye,
Mann hal ve thi gungunaaye.. haye haye haye..

Rays of hope are scattered, waves of excitement are brimming,
Heart is humming slowly too..

Hey shubharambh ho shubhaarambh, mangal bela aayi,
sapnon ki dehri pe dil ki baaji re shehnai, shehnaai, shehnayi

Hey it’s a good, new beginning, a blessed moment is here,
At the doorstep of dreams, shehnai of heart is played.

khwaabon ke beej, kachchi zameen pe hum ko bona hai,
aashaa ke moti saanson ki maalaa humein pirona hai,
apna bojha mil ke saathi hum ko dhona hai,
shehnaai, shehnaai, shehnaayi..

We have to sow the seeds of (our) dreams in this raw land,
(and) we (only) have to make a string of pearls of hope,
We have to carry our load together..

Shehnaai…
Raas racheelyo, saaj sajeelyo, shubh ghadi chhe aavi
Aachha aachha tamtamaata shaamna o chhe lavi, ho laavi..

Let’s dance, get adorned, it’s a holy moment,
It has brought those light twinkling star-like dreams of future..

Haan mazaa hai zindagi, nasha hai zindagi, dheere dheere chadhegi,
duaa de zindagi, bataa de zindagi, baat apni banegi..

Yes, Life is fun, it’s an intoxication, slowly it will affect you,
bless me O Life! Tell me that it’ll be all as I wish..

Hey vhalaa..
O my dear..
