Genda Phool Lyrics
[Hoye hoye hoye
Hoye hoye hoye] 3times

Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool,
Saas gaari deve,
Dewar samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Chora babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho,
Saas gaari deve,
Dewar samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saiyaan hai vypaari,
Chale hain pardes,
Sooratiyaan niharu, jiyara bhaari howe,
Sasural genda phool

Saas gaari deve,
Dewarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,
Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool
Chora babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho,

Bushirt pahine, khayee ke bida paan,
Poore Raipur se alag hai,
Saiyaan ji ki shaan,

Sasural genda phool,
Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool,
Saas gaari deve,
Dewarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,
Chora babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho..

Roughly translated by someone"morphnw" on you tube, prasoon joshi may please forgive this...:) just so that people who don't follow the language know what this is about!
My husband teases me
and his sister finds it funny,
Mother-in-law calls me names,
but my husband's brother mediates,
My in-laws' home is like a marigold flower (sasural genda phool)

I've left my father's home,
Now I love my beloved's abode,
Mother-in-law calls me names,
but my husband's brother mediates,
My in-laws' home is like a marigold flower (sasural genda phool)

My beloved is a business man,
He's going abroad,
I stare at him lovingly,
but my heart is heavy and sad.
Mother-in-law calls me names,
but my husband's brother mediates,
My in-laws' home is like a marigold flower
My husband teases me
and his sister finds it funny,
I've left my father's home,
Now I love my beloved's abode,

My husband, wearing a button-down shirt,
looks really handsome, chewing on a paan,
he looks in a class of his own in Raipur.
My husband teases me
and his sister finds it funny,
Mother-in-law calls me names,
but my husband's brother mediates,
My in-laws' home is like a marigold flower
I've left my father's home,
Now I love my beloved's abode,

THE PEANUT PRINCE OF ARGENTINA, FROM INDIA

Simmar Pal Singh is an alumni of the INSTITUTE OF RURAL MANAGEMENT ANAND and hence the interest in this article. Also at a time when Indians are getting bashed up in Australia, this is a feel good story of a Sikh youth who has won laurels in a foreign land and is treated as a "Maharajah" for his turban and beard rather than as a Taliban Terrorist!!
Simmar Pal Singh cultivates 12,000 hectares of peanut farms and another 5,000 hectares of soya and corn in Rio Cuarto area in Cordoba province, about 1,000 km from Buenos Aires. His target is to take his company "Olam" among Argentina´s top three peanut players in the next few years. When he came to Argentina in 2005, his company was 28th in ranking in peanuts and he has already made it sixth this year.Argentina is the second largest exporter of peanuts after China, accounting for 25 percent of the world trade in kernels. Rio Cuarto region produces high-quality peanuts with its ideal soil and agroclimatic conditions. Read more from the links below:

INNOVATIVE MARKETING,ADVERTISING.

CHENNAI SILKS COMES UP WITH A WINNER
RMKV, a retail outlet in Chennai, South India, had come up with an innovative marketing campaign a couple of years back, when one of the top movie couples, Jyotika and Surya, got married. There was a contest to select the colour of Jyotika's wedding saree! Every colour selected by the respondents was available in the range launched by the saree house which had 50,000 colours on offer.Given the demi-god status movie stars command and the huge fan following they have, it was a huge hit. The campaign also stayed focused on the product, which was the saree and the range available!The agency was MUDRA.This won a gold from New York Festival for advertising and marketing effectiveness. The team behind this campaign included Jagdeesh Acharya ( who now has set up his own ad agency, Rajendran Nair who is with RKSwamy, Pavi Krishnan and Zackaria Abraham.


This time around Chennai Silks has come out with a Rs 45lakh saree ($100,000). This Silk Sari will certainly make it to the Guiness Book of Records and this means a great PR opportunity...

The exceptionally stunning saree is meticulously woven with 12 precious stones and metals to depict 11 of Raja Ravi Verma's popular paintings. Explicitly projected is
'Lady Musicians', one of the painter's very famous works that displays women belonging to diverse cultural backgrounds.

Besides, the border of the saree pictures 10 other paintings of the artist that pays tribute to 20th century artist. The best part of the saree being that the women in the paintings are intricately hand-woven and beautified with jewels of gold, diamond, platinum, silver, ruby, emerald, yellow sapphire, sapphire, cat's eye, topaz, pearl and corals.

Already in the Limca Book of Records, this 40 lakh saree will be the first silk saree that required the use of 7,440 jacquard hooks and 66,794 cards during the weaving process. Moreover, a group of consummate workers took nearly 4,680 hours.
The fact that "Rang Rasiya" a movie on the painter is soon to hit the marquee will not hurt either!!
