Nakula

In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Nakula (Sanskrit: नकुल, Tamil: நகுலன்) was fourth of the five Pandava brothers. Nakula and Sahadeva were twins born to Madri, who had invoked the Ashwini Kumaras using Kunti's boon.

Etymology and Other Names

Its Sanskrit etymology is "he who is most handsome in the lineage". The name Nakula generally means full of love and the male characteristics implied by the name are: Intelligence, Focus, Hard-Work, Handsomeness, Health, Attractiveness, Success, Popularity, Respect, and unconditional Love.

Nakula and his brother Sahadeva, are both called as Ashvineya (आश्विनेय), as they were born from Ashvins.

Birth and early years

Due to Pandu's inability to bear children (because of the curse of Rishi Kindama), Kunti had to use the boon given by Sage Durvasa to give birth to her three children. She shared the boon with Pandu's second wife, Madri, who invoked the Ashwini Kumaras to beget Nakula and Sahadeva. The dark-complexioned Nakula was known to be the most handsome person in the Kuru lineage.

Nakul (actor)

Nakul (born 15 June 1984) is a Tamil film actor and playback singer. Brother of former film actress Devayani, he debuted as a lead actor in the 2003 film Boys directed by S. Shankar, in which he also sang his first song in the film's soundtrack album. He later made a breakthrough portraying a psychotic lover in Kadhalil Vizhunthen (2008), before winning acclaim for his performances in Maasilamani (2009) Naan Rajavaga Pogiren (2013) and Vallinam (2014).

Career

Nakul was 18 when he was chosen for the part of Juju in Shankar's coming-of-age film Boys (2003). His family had initially sent some pictures of his elder brother Mayur to Shankar's office, but after seeing Nakul in one of the pictures, Shankar approached him to portray a leading role alongside an ensemble cast of newcomers. The film opened in August 2003 to mixed reviews but the high profile nature of the technical team ensured that the film was publicized and took a good opening at the box office. Unlike some of the other cast members from Boys, Nakul's acting career failed to take off and a subsequent Telugu language film titled Keelu Gurram, in which he played a supporting role, went on to become a failure at the box office. He struggled to get a breakthrough as an actor and during the period, he worked as a playback singer in films, notably recording for Harris Jayaraj in his albums for Anniyan, Ghajini and Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu.

Een Beetje Vrede (holland-version Of ''ein Bisschen Frieden'')

by: Nicole

Net als een pop afgedankt door de kind
Net als een blad afgerukt door de wind
Net als een visje dat bijt in een haak
Zo voel ik mij o zo vaak
Dan zie ik de wolken zo dreigend en grauw
En hoor ik de kreet van een vogel in 't nauw
De regen die valt en de zon zie ik niet
Dan zing ik wat bang mijn lied
refrain:
Een beetje vrede, een beetje liefde, voor deze wereld waarop wij wonen
Een beetje vrede, een beetje vreugde, er over dromen dat doe ik al
Een beetje vrede, een beetje liefde, dat er weer hoop is voor alle mensen
Een beetje vrede, een beetje vreugde, toe laat ons wensen dat komen zal
Ik ben maar een meisje dat zingt wat ze voelt
En in een lied zegt wat ze bedoelt
Ik ben soms alleen als een meeuw in de wind
Die voelt dat de storm begint
