My mantra for life:)

Life is short, break the rules, forgive
quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover...

Thoughts of the Day...

2. Am loving my curls!!
3. Almost have a crush on Palash Sen :) Does he compose the music and pen down the lyrics for Euphoria?
4. Looking forward to Tuesday:)

Nameless thoughts...

Twas you, some day...not long ago...
Who planted tender seeds of wishes in my heart...
Nurtured them with love and care...
And then, I don't know how...
They were ripped off me, and beaten to dust...
Wishes will come true, they say, and wistfully I wait till eternity...

Once upon a time, when I wandered away with you...
Treading on unchartered territories...
Never doubtful, never skeptical, coz you held my hands...
The tryst with myself that happened for you...
Its memory still lingers on...
Today, we thrive on its ashes, knowing that perhaps it will never resurrect...

Today, we call each other friends, friends...are we??
With so many distances, so many unanswered questions,
The estrangement that we bore so well, but could never get over...
Comes back to me, in fits and starts...
And often attempts to strip me off my mask...
 I ask myself in vain...when will the thaw come...

My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected...

The latest theme song of my life...

Somewhere Out There, I Know There Is Someone
Who Is Waiting Just For Me Maahiya
He Is Gonaa Set Me Free Maahiya

Jiski Aankhon Mein Meri Hi Nami Ho
Koyi Toh Hai Woh Yaar Maahiya
Karoon Main Intzaar Maahiya
Jiske Jine Mein Meri Hi Kami Ho
Rahe Jo Bekaraar Maahiya
Woh Mujhpe Nisaar Maahiya
Jiski Har Baat Mujhse Judi Ho
Chaahe Jo Beshumaar Maahiya
Wafa Se Wafaadaar Maahiya

How Long My Heart Keeps Craving of Fantasy,
Why Can You Be A Part Of My Reality

Usko Li Zindagi Ke Khwaab Main Bunoo
Chamkile Rang Saare Unamein Bharu
Jisko Aksar Khayaalo Mein Socha
Kahin Toh Hai Woh Yaar Maahiya
Woh Mera Dildaar Maahiya
Somewhere Out There, I Know There Is Someone
Who Is Waiting Just For Me Maahiya
He Is Gonna Set Me Free Maahiya

I Know That He Is Gonna Be My Destiny
Its All Part Of Cupid's conspiracy
Kabse Uske Aane Ki Main Raah Takoon
Kabse Chhupa Ke Ise Dil Mein Rakhoon
Mere Dil Ne Taraasha Use Jaisa
Milega Wahi Yaar Maahiya
Hai Mujhe Aitbaar Maahiya
Somewhere Out There, I Know There Is Someone
Who Is Waiting Just For Me Maahiya
He Is Gonaa Set Me Free Maahiya
Jiski Aankhon Mein Meri Hi Nami Ho
Koyi Toh Hai Woh Yaar Maahiya
Karoon Main Intzaar Maahiya
Jiske Jine Mein Meri Hi Kami Ho
Rahe Jo Bekaraar Maahiya
Woh Mujhpe Nisaar Maahiya
Jiski Har Baat Mujhse Judi Ho
Chaahe Jo Beshumaar Maahiya
Wafa Se Wafaadaar Maahiya...

College fete is here again!! Same day last year things were soooo different...has it all changed for the better??

When two people in love break up...
They can't be friends as they have hurt each other,
They can't be enemies as once they loved each other,
The only thing that they can be are 'most familiar strangers'...
True...or is it??

Presently, pissed off at the base wannabe's who humiliate the beautiful art of poetry...why does everyone aspire to be a poet these days????? At this rate, the world will soon be Eliot's 'Wasteland'!! Grow up!! :-X

Had a super-duper morning today...light drizzle, long walk with myself from Maidan to Park Street, across my favourite part of the city, basking in Mitwaa rendition :) the gaiety, the sense of freedom, the heightened pleasure can't be described in words!! I love my city in winters :)

Freud's dream interpretation, fantastic little gems by O Henry and Anton Chekhov, steamed Chicken Momos and Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Khoobsurat...:) can a drizzling winter evening get better than this??

Thought of the Day...yet again...can't help writing this...

Today's a perfect day to snuggle, hug and cuddle...wintry winds blowing with their tender yet biting might...that fuel my dormant desires...Salt Lake is awesomely awesome for romantic walks...and a day like this, chilling cold and drizzling skies make it ever so wonderful...Oh, wish I had my Mr. Perfect to hold hands with...

Thought of the Day...

After posting 5 of my favourite romantic videos, I'm going to blog any random thought that strikes my mind and touches my heart on any particular day...
So, here's my food for thought for today-

Saawariya means "beloved". But he's not just any beloved. He's the dusky, blue tinged (Savla) God Krishna who is adored as Saawariya. On a more sublime note, Saawariya is the beloved who is always in love. But not every lover can qualify as Saawariya. Only the lover who stands the test of time who overcomes all obstacles who doesn't care whether he gets the girl or not as long as he's consumed by love as long as he remains in a perpetual state of "being in love"

That man, that rare lover, is Saawariya.

This is probably my best-loved word in Hindi, and I chanced to come across this meaning online...it really caught my fancy...

The little road that leads up to my doorstep lies numb today…

The frostbitten morning, misty-eyed, grey-faced, stares at me…

I breath out white vapours that blunts my words…

The bubbles that are home to my mind’s eye, fly about…

I hold myself in embrace, my arms closely wrapped around me

In a vain attempt to recreate the warmth that you were…

Laying my heavy feet on the wet paths, I trip along…

The drizzle tastes like lozenge, indeed…

It snowed all night, or did it?? They’ve put out the stellar lamps…

One or two are still aglow, with their faint twinkles…

I look above, trying to trace some alien galaxy…

The sky isn’t as speckled tonight,

Rusted yesterdays appear dimmer in the soft moonlight,

But I still rummage my glassy orb of recollections…

Hoping to stumble upon that moment, when I nestled in your arms…

That snugness has long been obliterated…

And I still trail after the hollow bubbles….

Lying here in Hope

One more day peeps in through my skylight,

I greet it with a disarming smile,

Before it fizzles out, I shall grab a handful,

Am sure, it’ll last me a good while...

I spread my palm, and have a glance,

At the unrequited tears, and feigned laughter,

I seek retreat, or do I?

For these bittersweet moments I once ran after...

The snow-laden paths shall thaw someday,

But this cold has gripped me hard,

A stupor has spread all over me,

It must have caught me off-guard...

 My cloistered world wants sunshine,

But how shall I ever conquer the wintry pall,

I’ve grown weary of this yearning,

But I shall not droop, or fall...

The road will turn somewhere ahead,

It sets ablaze my hopes to conquer,

 And then, I shall find repose,

This thirst will not last longer...

Random…

It’s you, the  damp, cold winter again...

Igniting  my icy musings with your scarlet fire,

Some simmering, some hovering  about my eyes,

Some burnt down in your infernal pyre...

You bring along a carnival of memories, half-faded,

Conjure some magic that takes me back to old times,

What sorcerer art thou?  What wizardry is it?

All the bygone years, come rushing down on me....

I hear ‘em, I touch, I smell, but cannot see...

Looking Back...

Twas not much long ago, to me it seems just yesterday...

When you and I sailed together, on the frothy waves of smiles,

Your eyes that stole glances, and strew roses on my way,

With youthful passion and an undying faith, we walked the difficult miles...

Twas not long ago, we spread our wings to the evening sky,

Bathed in the sunset, drenched in the bluish dye of night...

Defying the callous world’s ‘how’, ‘when’ and ‘why’,

We tasted heaven to our heart’s delight!!

Your resounding smiles still deafen my ears amidst the maddening crowd...

I feel one with you, your soul transpiring into me all over again...

They say you are not around, but in some distant land,

Tell me, is there any corner of the world where my love won’t find you?

They say you remember me not, and I laugh it away,

Somewhere in the forgotten niche of your memory, I reside...  

You can’t wipe me out, you can’t shake me off,

I have a part of you with me, with which I endeavour

Day after day, to rebuild our little cosmos, replete with the little joys...

I walk amidst millions, but I’m all saturated by you,

Oh! The familiar lilting of voice that I still feel on my pillow,

It is the soporific symphony that lulls me to sleep,

For, if you cease to invade my dreams, or refuse to break into my dreams,

I shall never open my eyes to the morning beams...

Glances at my dream-

I dream…

             To build a home in the rainbow,

             To hear the whispers of the wind,

             To touch shadows and hold on to them…

           

I dream…

            To make bangles with the hues of twilight’s afterglow,

             To steal the purplish haze of midnight moon and bathe my eyes in it,

             To be the dry rose in a lover’s diary, brittle but never dead…

I dream…

             To make a dainty little gown of pretty flower petals-

             Give me the freshest blossoms- daisies, lilies, tulips and buttercups…

             To walk on frothy waves and embrace the skies,

             To have wings as light and silken as a bride’s veil,

             To gather the raindrops of the first monsoon shower,

              And wreathe them all in to a necklace…

I dream to grab with full hands, the sound of your laughter,

And sweeten my life with its resonance…

I dream to be reborn in your heart each day, grow anew in your eyes

And die on your lips, the pleasantest death of all…

You…within me, without me…

Feeling blue,

Isn’t my sort of thing,

But me is you,

And I’m alone here tonight…

You fill me to the core,

Yet, one blink, and you are gone,

I cling on to your last reminisces,

Inhaling them, till the break of dawn…

I smile, I celebrate, I go on living,

But oft, an oblivious sigh escapes,

My frail heart betrays me,

With tears and frays, it silently gapes.

Rid me of this incomplete being,

I yearn to feel whole again,

I seek you in stranger stirrings,

Walking down the memory lane…

I know now where you are,

Which corner of the globe is it??

What air do you breathe?

Am I alien to it?

Tomorrow awaits me, yet I flee,

For fear of not finding you there,

The road that lies ahead, stares and laughs at me,

I know not, do you love? Do you care?

Yet to me, this pain is pleasure,

The tears are savory when I taste,

There! I see my dreams kissing the dust,

And my sleepless nights crying in waste…

I shall live and die each day,

To see my Utopia beaten to ashes,

I do not seek retreat, for this is my refuge,

That with each passing day, stab my gashes…
