Fanaa ho jaaye…

Saw Fanaa today…
Let me clarify… This post is not to applaud or criticize the movie…
Movies are made, seen and forgotten.
What stays evergreen are a few words…
And Fanaa definitely had a lot of those memorable words…
The Shayaris, the lyrics… O boy! I guess, I’m still drunk on them!

Coming to think of it, isn’t it wonderful that sometimes just a couplet says all what an entire book wouldn’t convey…

Baithe hai hotho ko see kar,

Pachtayengi aap,

Ishq jaag uthtaa hai aksar,

Aisi khamosi ke baad…

Silence indeed has to be broken before the hurricane of emotions implode within you.

Humse dur jaaoge kaise,

Dilse hume bhulaoge kaise,

Hum to khushbu hai jo saanson me baste hai,

Khud ki saanson ko rok paonge kaise.

Well… again coming to think of it… these couplets very often sound too cliched… But wat the hell… what matters more is the sentiments attached to these gems.

Well… I could go on and on and on about my liking for nice words and lyrics. But let me not ramble more on it…

Mere haath mein tera haath ho…

Saari jannatein mere saath ho…

Tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaa

Tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa…

I guess, such words can come easily to one in real life too, provided there’s a Rehan and a Zoonie (pre-interval types!!) for each one of us. So, happy hunting for your Rehans and Zoonies! And then we could as well sing these lines…

Adhoori saans thi dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren ham
Magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur ab pooren hain ham…

Lolz, come back to earth people! You can imagine yourselves with your respective soulmates later… time for me to call it a night… till my next post, Adios!

Bhool karke bhi humse koi bhool hui ho toh,

Bhool samajhkar use bhula dena,

Lekin bhulana sirf Bhool ko,

Galti se bhi Humein na Bhulana…

Forget me not!!

Tonight… I have no words… no phrases…

I feel so empty, so lonely tonight…

My searching eyes try to find you by my side…

Tonight… I have no words… no phrases…

Still deep within me remain your traces.

How do I forget your caressing smile?

What remains of it now is just a vile…

I wish destiny wasn’t so unkind…

All those lost years I can’t unwind…

The morning dew, the evening star…

Tells me that you were always waiting right there.

There are tears of rueful regret…

Do I really wish we never met?

But the stars’ still shining bright tonight

It just tells me that I just might…

Find a new ray of hope, of love and Joy

And smile through it… the pain it’ll destroy.

Let me sing once more

Like I always did before

I wanna sing a new song, a newer tune

And await for sweetness to fill my life soon.

My current phase of existence…

Hi friends…

Just a week down… and it already seems like ages…
Time to spill the beans…

Today, I am writing this post sitting on this not-so-comfortable chair, yet not quetching about it. Yes, just like you all, I’m equally surprised at myself!! I guess… I had under-estimated myself… I never thought I’d ever be able to do my own laundry or clean the bed myself. But lo’ as I look at my room now… no points for guessing... its spic-and-span…Oh boy! Am I not proud of myself?!! [I wish you could see that huge grin on my face!]

Ok… now here’s the list of all new activities undertaken in the past week:

• Shopping: Hold on… not the kind of shopping girls like doing! Rather, I went out shopping for washing detergents and other house-hold stuff! Phew… tat was quite some feat!
• Cleaning: Yes, you heard that right! I clean my room myself everyday, irrespective of whether Hansaben is around or not! (Well Hansaben reminds me of another activity which I have indulged into oflate…. Any guesses? Well… call it a bribe or a tip…but it seems to make things easier…)
• Attending classes: Now, for someone like me, who’s never been to college on time, this is quite an applaudable feat! However, hold on… don’t jump to conclusions so soon… I did set a record here also by skipping a tutorials class in the evening… reason? Well… I was way to sleepy and lazy at the same time to attend the session… after all after such a hard day’s work a.k.a cleaning my room, I did deserve some sleep!
• Praying: Now that was a googly! Yes, I prayed to the rain gods and they seem to have heard my prayers… the heat here in Ahmedabad is simply unbearable… especially because there’s no AC in your room… After so many years of complaining about the weird noises my room’s AC made back home in Mumbai, I now realize it indeed was a boon… leastwise, it cooled up things!
  
  Apart from these newer ones, the other activities that kept me busy were:
• Making friends: Well, life is too short a time to befriend the whole world… But what the heck! I’ll keep trying!
• Watching movies: You name a recent movie, and I guess I would’ve seen it! Alright… alright… I’ve not seen Fanaa yet… Get rid of that diabolic smile from on your faces! I’m a true optimist… It’ll be released here too... sooner or later. Keeping my fingers crossed.
• Celebrating birthdays: Aha… occasions surely enliven your entire self… And it can’t get better when the birthday boy treats all of us at Mochas without even an iota of dissent!
  
  Now for those of you all who were looking for something like ‘Studying’ to be there on that list... I would say… You are expecting too much out of this poor soul! There’s still time for it!
  
  Signing off for the day… It’s a lovely Sunday evening… I dunno what’s in here for dinner tonight… but I sure know mom’s cooking chicken back home… Miss you Ma. :)
