happy holi !!

humming aloud

holiya mein udde re gulal

keh do re mangetar se

dil ki yeh aarzoo thi

yash raj films always depict life in so many shades ...
ppl call love an over-rated emotion ... i beg to differ ...

nikaah
is a story of waseem's unintentional selfishness as a man & a husband
is a story of haider's selfless love for neelofar
is a story of neelofar ... a women torn between the past & present

salma agha's voice ... hasan kamal's lyrics ... each word encapsulates u ... so this time i'm doing a li'l more than humming aloud

aankhon ko ek ishaare ki .. zehmat to dijiye
kadmon mein dil bichha doon .. ijaazat to dijiye
gham ko gale laga loon .. jo gham aapka mile
(the beauty of seeking permission ... to lay ur heart on the line)

kal tum juda huye the jahan .. saath chhod kar
hum aaj tak khade hain ussi .. dil ke mod par
humko is intezaar ka .. kuchh to sila mile
(some people move on ... others stay the path ... in waiting ... in hope)

humne udaasiyon mein .. guzaari hai zindagi
lagta hai darr fareb-e-wafaa se .. kabhi-kabhi
aisa na ho ki zakhm koi .. phir naya mile
(once bitten twice shy ... )

dil ki yeh aarzoo thi koi .. dilruba mile
lo ban gaya naseeb ke tum .. hum se aa mile ...
dekhe humein naseeb se ab .. apne kya mile
ab tak to jo bhi dost mile .. bewafaa mile ...
(few hopes one nurtures ... almost there ... just not yet)


some other nikaah numbers worth it all
... fazaa bhi hai jawaan jawaan
... beete huye lamhon ki kasak yaad to hogi
... dil ke armaan aansuon mein beh gaye

what if

what if on a warm sunny day ... u miss being in the snow
what if the oceans rise n challenge u ... to cross over both the pacific n the atlantic together
what if having crossed a junction ... u missed the very path u were meant 4
what if u shut up ... to the very one u shud be talkin to
what if there r daffodils n roses n petunias et al ... yet u crave lost fragrances
what if like the moon ... u know not when the eclipse ends
what if each path teaches u bout the next one ... just not how 2 leave itself behind
what if the tide's real shallow ... n u feel like a swim
what if valentine was a month back ... yet feels like an eternity past
what if a subtle hint didn't reach its mark ;-)


humming aloud
ek akeli chhatari mein jab ... aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe the
aadhe sukhhe aadhe giile ... sukhaa to main le aayi thi
gilaa mann shayad bistar ke paas pada ho
vo bhijwa do ... mera voh saaman lauta do
mera kuch saaman ... tumhare paas pada hai

humming aloud

battiyan bujhaa do ki neend nahi aati hai

battiyan bujhaane se bhi neend nahi aayegi

battiyan bujhaane vaali jaane kab aayegi

shor na machaao varnaa bhabhi jaag jaayegi

pyar humein kis mod pe le aaya ...

ke dil kare hai ... hai ...

koi yeh bataye ... kya hoga

penny 4 ur thoughts

priya's blog gave me food 4 thought ...

"I think its in the moments of our decisions that we shape our destiny..."

if i have the power to decide my destiny ... do i have the wisdom to behold that power ...

decisions are choices ... choices bring about instances ... instances that i might/might not be able to decipher ...

yet again i think ... is life really long enuf 2 figure out all odds ... split second decisions or long thought of plans ... or a 'reasonable' go between ... (something that has evaded me always)

as seasons pass by ... i think of what yesterday left behind ... n of shades that destiny has in store ...


humming aloud
dekhti hai .. jis tarah se .. teri nazrein mujhe ...
main khudko chupaaoo kahan
jaadu hai .. nasha hai ... madhoshiyan ...
tujhko bhulake ab jaaon kahan
