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...

Everywhere I go...

The below song is a dedication to my brother Amrish. We wrote this song in complete haste only because he was in one of his music composing moods! Its based on a personal experience when traveled to B’ham, N. Ireland, Cyprus, Delhi and Mumbai. Its just a song that was written randomly, but from the heart. Hope you’ll like it as much as much we enjoyed making it  J   Everywhere I’ve been I’ve heard the same sound, The sound of people and the sound of cars The cries of children, mingled with laughter The bursts of horn, the obscenity Yet everywhere I go I’m different to them, Is this what they call hell today? Everywhere I’ve been I’ve heard the same sound, The sound of people and the sound of dogs The neighbor’s dog barking, all night disturbing The construction guy going on and on Yet everywhere I go I’m different to them Is this what they call hell today? People with Afros, People with Gold The Oil-rich mofos, And the people with Om ...

Was it just a dream?

Certain stories are difficult to start. Even though you intend to relay it word-by-word, some stories are difficult to express unless you are a writer of high caliber. Please be assured, I’m not one of those and shall do my levels best to put this simply, minus the confusion! Before I even as much as begin with the story, I just want to ask all the readers if they’ve ever had a repetitive dream or nightmare… I’m a person who believes that dreams have a meaning… if anyone else also believes in the same, care to interpret this one for me? Allow me to provide you with a brief synopsis of what happened sometime before I slept off as I think its related to the nightmare I had last night… As most of you know, my cousin is currently in town from Doha. We spend shit-loads of time together… however, this story is to do with my nightmare, therefore won’t get into that. We had to meet up a common friend of ours at Starbucks (SB) in Al Ghurair. He picked us up in a White Toyot...
