why Baadshah?
Baadshah is an India movie, released a couple of years ago.
It's actually hilarious. Anyway, when I was
in Myanmar, I picked up the soundtrack to Baadshah and
instantly fell in love, it was great music. Hindi music
isn't for everyone, but I really like it. Thus, after
listening to the soundtrack for a year, I new some of the
words by heart, and knew what "Baadshah" means (it's roughly
equivalent to "leader/ruler/king/etc." Upon traveling to
India and being asked "ap-ga nam-ga hay" ("what is your
name"), I would answer them "mir-a nam Baadshah hay" ("my name
is Baadshah") -- some people were incredulous, some took
it in stride. Kids would start singing the song "Baadshah,
O Baadshah" and dance around me. Check out the lyrics
below, they're really good....i think, but i don't really
understand a word of them... :-)
