Zindagi ke pal, Rakesh ke sang...


The below song/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is a dedication to my fiancé, Rakesh. On his request I’ve made an attempt at writing in Hindi! Not that I don’t know Hindi, it’s just been so long since I wrote anything in my national language that the flow of writing is broken!

However, I hope whoever reads this has only basic knowledge of the language; else they’ll probably find too many errors.

Goes like this…

Kuch tanha se baethe the hum
Yunhi soche kab aayenge voh
Mudke dekha jab yunhi humne
Samne humare khade the voh

Zindagi ke yeh pal bade yaad aate hain
Zindagi ke kuch pal muskura jate hain

Ruthne manane se fursat kaha
Ki chan baatein bhi hum karle
Aapko apne kaam se fursat kaha
Ki hum dil bhi thoda bharle

Zindagi ke yeh pal bade yaad aate hain
Zindagi ke kuch pal muskura jate hain

Shopping to hum harooz karte
Lekin paise deta kaun?
Shikayat bhi hum harooz karte
Lekin humari sunta kaun?

Zindagi ke yeh pal bade yaad aate hain
Zindagi ke kuch pal muskura jate hain

Mile to humme kai lekin
Mar baethe hum tum-pe
Tum to bade batameez nikle
Mar baethe tum hum-pe

Zindagi ka woh pal sabse haseen hain
Zindagi ka woh pyar aaj bhi kareeb hain

DISASTROUS HOLI!

I know usually everyone enjoys Holi. I’m personally not a great fan… but my family is, so I do join them in the celebration. This year, like every year, we went to Creek Park. Not sure who were the organizers; however 89.1 Radio 4 fm was one of them. Below are 10 points why this year it was disastrous: 1               The music sucked big time… mind you, it was all Indians organizing an Indian festival, without the knowledge of which festival! They just wouldn’t play HOLI songs! 2               They hired a comedian to perform right in the midst of the celebration… trust me, it’s just not worth the details! No one heard it either, most left… 3               The suppo-sed ‘STAR OF THE NIGHT’ Monali Thakur, who was lip syncing songs for us, got all pepped up, prepared the audienc...

Humanity gone for a toss!

Everyday cannot be Sunday… but then again, every 7 days it can be right? I’ll understand if someone thinks the above line is lame… but that’s the point! Why sulk when there is a positive side to life? Recently, my man and I were discussing about a particular set of people (elite) who give lame excuses to prove how unhappy their life is. How they worry so much about money more than anything else. How they feel that they weren’t able to achieve anything in life… blah blah blah. This got him and me thinking about our achievements. Mind you, neither he nor I are from well-off families. We belong to the vast majority of middle class families where we just manage to make ends meet. Where buying something from Jimmy Choo is a far-away thought and would require a pocket-money-saving of 4 months, instead just make do with Marks & Spencer. But then, we aren’t complaining… we are happy, contended, and yes, most definitely working towards having a better future. But not complaini...
