"Airbag" is a song by the English band Radiohead. It is the first song on their 1997 album, OK Computer.
History
The song is inspired by a car crash involving Thom Yorke and his girlfriend in 1987. This event damaged his girlfriend's cervix, but Yorke was unhurt. Yorke said, "Has an airbag saved my life? Nah ... but I tell you something, every time you have a near accident, instead of just sighing and carrying on, you should pull over, get out of the car and run down the street screaming, 'I'M BACK! I'M ALIVE! My life has started again today!' In fact, you should do that every time you get out of a car. We're just riding on those things - we're not really in control of them."
The song was first performed in 1995. The song was originally titled "An Airbag Saved My Life", which was a reference to the Indeep song, "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life".
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood said "Airbag is a classic example of Colin and Phil saying, 'Let's make it sound like DJ Shadow.' But unfortunately - or fortunately - it does not, because we missed again. It's that thing of lumbering around in the dark, but still being excited by what we do. We're discovering these things for the first time rather than getting the pros in to show us how to do it."
Airbag is an Argentine hard rock band formed in 1999 and consists of three brothers: Patricio Sardelli (lead guitar, piano and vocals), Gastón Sardelli (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Guido Sardelli (drums, rhythm guitar and vocals). They have released five studio albums and one live album and toured mostly around Latin America.
Their debut album certified gold in Argentina, and received an MTV Award for "Best New Artist"; after a tour in Latin America they started the recording of their second studio album, Blanco Y Negro, which led them to win another MTV Award, this time for "Best Southern Artist".
Mainstream success (2008–present)
Their third album was nominated for Best Rock Album on the Latin American Grammys, and also the gardel award for Argentinian music. Also for this album, drummer Guiudo Sardelli started playing the rhythm guitar and singing in songs like "Mi sensación", "Revolución" and "Lejos del sol". The album was very well received, mostly for its mature tone.
In Indian religions and Indian philosophy, moksha (Sanskrit:मोक्षmokṣa), also called vimoksha, vimukti and mukti, means emancipation, liberation or release. In the soteriological and eschatological sense, it connotes freedom from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth. In the epistemological and psychological sense, moksha connotes freedom, self-realization and self-knowledge.
In Hindu traditions, moksha is a central concept and included as one of the four aspects and goals of human life; the other three goals are dharma (virtuous, proper, moral life), artha (material prosperity, income security, means of life), and kama (pleasure, sensuality, emotional fulfillment). Together, these four aims of life are called Puruṣārtha in Hinduism.
The concept of moksha is found in Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism. In some schools of Indian religions, moksha is considered equivalent to and used interchangeably with other terms such as vimoksha, vimukti, kaivalya, apavarga, mukti, nihsreyasa and nirvana. However, terms such as moksha and nirvana differ and mean different states between various schools of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The term nirvana is more common in Buddhism, while moksha is more prevalent in Hinduism.
Moksha, the annual cultural festival of Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT), University of Delhi, started in 2003. It is organised in the month of March. Moksha is a four-day national cultural extravaganza held at NSIT every even semester of the academic year of the college, with the most popular events being Hasya-Kavi Sammelan, Qawwali, Choreography, Fashion show, Pop Show, Rock Show and the Star Night amongst others. It is considered to be one of the biggest cultural fests of New Delhi and attracts sponsorships from top corporate houses of India like TCS, Intel and Airtel. The fest is attended by colleges from all over India and has enjoyed the presence of big names from within and across borders, like Edward Maya, KK, Akcent, and Strings, the Pakistani band.
Popularity
Moksha involves participation from many colleges from all over India, making it one of the largest college festival of north India. Some of the events are also featured on popular TV and radio channels creating a large outreach.
Every year Moksha witnesses a footfall of more than 20,000 at events and competitions that are covered by both print and electronic media. There are plethora of competitions organised witnessing participation from all over Delhi University to IIMs. There is activity, drama and vivaciousness at every nook and cranny of the campus during the three – day festival. The mega events – "Mudra" and "Rouge" – undergo various rounds of selection to cherry-pick the best four for the finale from multitude of dynamic participants. The theater – fest attracts teams from colleges all over DU, be it Hindu, Ramjas or Maitreyi. The popularity of the fest can be measured from the fact – MTV as Media Partner, with Video Jockey Gaelyn covering various events. This further leads to a soaring popularity of Moksha amongst the youth. Recent presence of Akcent in 2014 had people thronging the campus from every corner of Delhi. It is not an event – it is an experience!
The story is about law graduate Vikram Saigal (Arjun Rampal) who is not happy with his lot at all. He is very idealistic and wants to battle corruption and society and change the world.
A young girl, Ritika (Manisha Koirala) takes a fancy to him and goes all out to woo him, at first he rejects her advances and eventually he gives in after she presents him with an expensive painting and they become a couple.
His idealism includes him wanting to set up a "free for the poor" law service, but he finds it impossible to find any other like-minded lawyers. His boss and his father (Suresh Oberoi) think he's too young and naïve to fully understand the implications of giving free legal services and he becomes more and more disillusioned and plans how to rob a bank to get money to set up his free legal institute.

AIRBAG - NUNCA LO OLVIDES
Y van quedando los vasos vacíos
vino derramado, tu cuerpo y el mio
Ya paso tiempo y nada ha cambiado
en todas las noches, te sigo pensando
Y ya no puedo, vivir esperando
no se si es un sueño
o estoy despertando
Y quiero contarte las cosas que siento
no quiero perderme en este momento
Aquí estoy, otra vez
no te preocupes, no todo es en vano
aunque siempre pierdas la primera mano
Quiero contarte siempre el mismo cuento
porque ya sabemos, quien pierde primero
No me arrepiento de nada contigo
contigo me muero, contigo revivo
Y sos mi victoria, y sos mi fracaso
sos todo lo bueno, sos todo lo malo
Aquí estoy, otra vez
soy tu soldado, de brazos rendidos
siempre en esta guerra salimos heridos

Y van quedando los vasos vacíos
vino derramado, tu cuerpo y el mio
Ya paso tiempo y nada ha cambiado
en todas las noches, te sigo pensando
Y ya no puedo, vivir esperando
no se si es un sueño
o estoy despertando
Y quiero contarte las cosas que siento
no quiero perderme en este momento
Aquí estoy, otra vez
no te preocupes, no todo es en vano
aunque siempre pierdas la primera mano
Quiero contarte siempre el mismo cuento
porque ya sabemos, quien pierde primero
No me arrepiento de nada contigo
contigo me muero, contigo revivo
Y sos mi victoria, y sos mi fracaso
sos todo lo bueno, sos todo lo malo

Cómo explicarte este sentimiento
si no me acostumbro, si no lo resuelvo
Nunca te olvides, que te doy mi vida
te extraño de noche
te quiero de día
Y quiero llevarte por siempre conmigo
hacia ningún lado, hacia el infinito
aquí estoy, otra vez
Quiero perderme en tu laberinto
quiero ser tu esclavo
morirme contigo
Aunque lo intente, no puedo olvidarte
no puedo mentirte
no quiero marcharme
Y no te olvides que te doy mi vida
te cambio la tuya, robame la mía
Sos el remedio, de todas mis penas
sos la fantasía, mi dulce condena
