Dreamers versus Realists
Cameron: There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not the opposite is true. You see the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists, well without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.

They say love is fuel.
A pair of parched lips. An ignored apology. An arid land. A barren body. A tree in autumn. A soul less song. A dry hello. An awkward meeting. A stranger us. A clueless tomorrow. A fake hope. A blind promise. An ounce of faith. A jar of memories. An era of wait. A dead cat.
Too much love causes resentment
Revolutionary Road (2008)
April Wheeler: So now I'm crazy because I don't love you, right? Is that the point?
Frank Wheeler: No! Wrong! You're not crazy, and you do love me. That's the point, April.
April Wheeler: But I don't. I hate you. You were just some boy who made me laugh at a party once, and now I loathe the sight of you. In fact, if you come any closer, if you touch me or anything, I think I'll scream.
Frank Wheeler: Frank: Oh, come on, stop this April.
[He touches her for an instant and she screams at the top of her lungs before walking away. He chases after her]

Zihale Maskeen - UNFAKS
Soaked myself in a concoction. A 20 minutes rendition of Amir Khusrau’s Zihale Maskeen by Late UNFAKS. In the verses the first line is in persian and the second line is in Brij bhaasha. (Source: http://sufipoetry.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/zehaal-e-miskeen-amir-khusro/)
Sheer BRIlLIANCE.
In 20 minutes he has recited the Persian lines and then translated them – in Sufi and Qawalli style. This is...

Gulshan Ki Bahaaron Mein
I first heard this song in 1999 on AIR 102.6 FM Radio, India. Every Sunday night a show came at 11pm and the RJ played beautiful ghazals and nazms. This one was one of my most favorites (I also loved Chaaha Tha Ek Shaqs Ko by Asha Tai and Ek Baar Muskura Do by Munni Beghum). I remember recording this FM show quite often on cassettes on the Philips hi-fi system that we had (Memories). I heard this...

A Tiny Vacation
I have often tried to stop my mind from thinking too many things. The worst part of growing up is you start thinking and stressing about things that are miniscule. Miniscule? Yes.
This year has been a battle ground. Most frustrating and yet the most challenging part of any new happening is the planning phase. It tests your patience. I have been in limbo in this stage for this entire year. It has...

Khyaalon mein Vichaaron mein Shaitan the
Haa..
Kal talak mein
Khudi se khata tha
Apni marzi ka khuda tha
Oh zindagi
Tere phike kaaydon se judaa tha
Tere theeke sharton se khafaa tha
Oh..zindagi
Iraadon mein
Muraadon mein

Khyaalon mein
Vichaaron mein

Khyaalon mein
Vichaaron mein

Ladh kar jaana
Gir kar jaana
Tera rutbaa
Mar kar jaana
Khush hua hai
Parwaana

Tera khilona

“Scars on body are like tattoos made by life.”

My observations. At the Zoo.
One shouldn’t waste time in a Zoo for a hippopotamus to emerge from water. They don’t really care about the visitors.
Rhinoceros on the other hand are pretty friendly. They try to move around to show their flexible flabby body. They try too hard.
Also, ducks are trained to eat all the bread in the universe. Be kind, don’t feed much unless you plan to make foie gras.
