Vayro

O Vyara,

Kehvay che ke Sangat ni asar lagta vaar nathi lagti,
Shu malyo che mara vahlam tu aaj-kal ma?
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che.
Thodi thodi thandi
ne thodi thodi uni.
dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Haji kal nij vaat karu,
Tara thanda-thanda sparsh thi
mara chanchal mann ne shant kari gayo.
Thando shwas lidhoj hato
ke aje chedti karva avi gayo

sarad sarad gati thi uno-uno bheti gayo.
Shu malyo che mara vahlam tu aaj kal ma?
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che,
Thodi thodi thandi
ne thodi thodi uni.

dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Nathi shanti thi jhapva deto,
nathi jhadpi leva deto.

Pun sachu kahu toh mari aa haar ma apdo prem jeeti jai che
eni khushi che.
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che.
Thodi thodi thandi,
ne thodi thodi uni.

dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Dil ki Baat

एक बात अनसुनी सी

सुनानी थी तुम्हें;

जो केह दोगे अनसुनी सी बात

तो हो तुम यार!

एक बात हैं अनकही सी

कहनी थी तुम्हें;

जो सुन लोगे अनकही सी बात

तो हो तुम दिलबर!!

कह के जो अनसुनी कर दोगे

तो हो तुम यार!

सुन के  जो अनकही कर दोगे

तो हो तुम दिलबर!!

कुछ  बात दिल की 

होती हैं ऐसी

जो रहती हैं अनकही सी !

जो रहती हैं अनसुनी सी!!

Prem ni Vednaa..

Artwork in Mall

 Prem માં  રહેલ વિશ્વાસ  કહે  છે કે
"હૂં નહીં રહૂં ત્યારે તું મને યાદ કરીશ."
Prem માં રહેલ કચાસ પૂછે છે કે
"તને મારી યાદ આવશે ?"

When there is trust,

Love says "you will remember me when I am gone"

When there is doubt,

Love asks "would you remember me"?

 છે Prem ના પાસા બે :
એક જવા ઈચ્છે છે કે પ્રેમ ની યાદ આવે,
ને એક યાદ કરાવે છે કે કે Prem  જાય છે,
 હાય રે ! વેદના....

Two sides of love coin 

one wants to go, to be remembered

one reminds you, that love is going.

Oops! Love!

PS: લાગી આવ્યું ને?
Touched?

Excerpt from another beautiful song:

Bas itna hai tumse kehna
Main rahun ya na rahun
Tum mujh mein kahin baaki rehna..

Chal! Aaje kahij de

શું તું જોઈ શકે છે:
કે દર સાંજે,
આ ઝરુખે 
હૂં તારી આતુરતા થી રાહ જોવું છું?

Can you see,

how eagerly, 

I wait for you,

every evening at this nook?

કેહવા માટે તોહ:
મારો તારા માટેનો લગાવ  , 
બે ઘડી નો (અતઃ એક રાતનો )  છે.

વિચારવા માટે તોહ:
મારો તારા માટેનો લગાવ ,
દૂર દેશી (અતઃલાંબુ અંતર ) છે.

If you look at it,

 we have one night stands.

If you think about it,

we are in a long distance relation.

 

આમ તારા દર સાંજે
જવાનો મને ગમ નથી
ફરી જયારે તું મલવા આવે છે તોહ:
તું નજરે પડતાજ,
મારા મુખ પર ની મલકાત,
 ને આંખોની ચમકને
શું તું જોઈ શકે છે ?

I am not disheartened 

to see you go every evening.

But, can you see the spark in my eyes and 

smile on my face when I see you again?

શું તું પણ મને એટલીજ પસંદ કરે છે?
કેહ છે તોહ તને સૂરજ દેવ
ને મારા મંદિર માં રહેલ દેવને છે અંગ મારા જેવા;
તોહ શું તું મને કોઈ દિન,
એક મસ્ત મજા ની જાદુ ની જ્હ્પ્પી
 કે હોઠોં ની પપ્પી,
આપી મને કહીશ:
હા, હૂં પણ તને ચાહું  છું ?

Do you love me too?

People call you Sun-God,

And the God in my temple has organs like me.

So, would you someday,

give me a tight hug or a kiss,

And say , 

Yes, I love you too?

My best goodbye to you of 2015!

If the sun could reply,
it would be something like this:

Excerpt from one of my latest favorite songs:

Jab raat koi na dhale
Subah main ban jaaunga
Bahaane se tere lab chhu loonga
Naa hoke bhi ho jaaunga

DialogueBaazi

Mummy with mother nature, doing what they do best :giving peace 

પરિચિત: આ સ્મિત થી કેટલાને  ઘાયલ કર્યા છે ?
L2C: વડીલ, મારા સ્મિત કરતાં બોલ(કટાક્ષ વચન) થી ઘાયલ થનારની લાઈન લાંબી છે.

  How many got killed with this smile?

My words kill more people than my smile.

પરિચિત: વિશ્વાસ નથી થતો.
L2C:  ચાલો ઓળખાણ કરાવી દવ :)

I don't believe your say.

Let me introduce you. 
 

પરિચિત: તારે કઈ કામ-ધંધો છે કે નઈ ?
L2C: હૂં જીવન ઉજવાનું કામ કરું છું.

Don't you have any work?

My work is to celebrate life.

પરિચિત: ધાંધા થયા પછી આવી ગમ્મત  સુજે છે, આવુ તોહ બળપણ માં પણ નતુ કર્યુ,
L2C: ગમ્મત ને ઉમર સાથે શું લેવા દેવા, દિલ તોહ બચ્ચાં હૈ જી.

I couldn't think of such silly acts as kid which you do now.

Always child at heart. Fun seeks no age.

When people question your Life Choices more than  
your girlfriend questions the safety of your condom.

પરિચિત: તુ અકેલી અકેલી ફરવા ને જમવા જાય છે?

L2C: હૂં એકલી રહું છું , એકલી શ્વાસ લવ છું ને એકેલીજ સુઈ જવ છું.   

 Oh ! You are traveling and eating at restaurants by yourself? 

I am breathing, sleeping and living by myself too-that's Single Life!. 

  

પરિચિત: પૈસા ને લેહેર I.T. માં જ છે તોહ Biomedical કેમ?
L2C:દરિયા ની લેહરો ગમે, એટલે નારીયેલ વેહચવાનો ધંધો ના કરાઈ।

When IT is cream of crop, why Biomedical ?

Just, because everyone doesnot like cream in their coffee.

પરિચિત: એમજ ત્યાર થઇ? નખરા તોહ એવા કરે છે કે જાણે ફિલ્મની હિરોઈન હોઈ.
L2C: હિરોઈન ના થવ તોહ તમારા જેવા  ક્રિતિક નવરા થઇ જશે.

You just dressed up? You act as a film actress.

Can't afford to leave critics like you, jobless.

પરિચિત: અચ્છા, DSLR કમેરો લઇ શું કરીશ?
L2C: લેસિક કરાયા પછી મારી ચટ્ટાઈ ની રજકણો ને પતરાનુ કાટ જોવામાં તકલીફ પડે છે, એટલે DSLR. 

So, what will you do with DSLR?

Since I had lasik, I think DSLR will help in seeing grains on carpet and rust on metal.

પરિચિત:અમે  B.tech ડિગ્રી પર સારું કમાઈ લઈએ છે , તોહ masters ની જરૂર હતી?
 L2C: ભણતર ની કિંમત જયારે નોટ ની ગાદી માં શોધાય છે ત્યારે જરૂર લાગે છે.

  

We earn decent based on Bachelors, was masters necessary for you?

When people value education based on earning, i do feel education is necessary.

પરિચિત: પાછુ કઈ નવું તુત લાવી, ખરી નવરી છે તું.
L2C: હૂં નવરી નૈ, પણ જીવન જીવી જાણવાની આવડત જરૂર ધરાવું છુ. 

Again! You are such an idle person.

I am not idle but, I do have the aptitude to live an ideal life.

Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar

झुकी झुकी हैं यह नज़रें
केहना चाइए यह नग्में।
नहीं लब्ज़ में बयां कर पाए
जो कहते हैं यह अश्रु में डूबे नयन ॥

मिलते हैं हज़ारों से
मिलाते हैं हाथ सभी से ।
फिर भी ना मिल सके , दिल से !!
नहीं झुकी हैं
यह किसी शरम से।
पर आज झुकी हैं
यह थकन से॥

कहते हैं,
आखों को रूह की खिड़की
खिड़की से दिखते हैं नजारें।
आज झूकी हैं यह नज़रें
इन नज़ारो से॥

कभी मिलो किसी से
तोह मिलो ऐसे !
की दिल की मुस्कान
झलके इन आखों से !!

Jhuki jhuki hain yeh nazrein
Kehna chaiye yeh nagmein
Nahin labz mein kar paye bayan
Jo kehete hain yeh ashru be doobe nayan

Milte hain hazaron se!
Milate hain haath sab se
Phi bhi na mil sake, dil se!!
Nahin jhuki hain
yeh kisi sharam se!
Aaj jhuki hain
Yeh thakan se!!

 Kehte hain
Aakhon ko rooh ki khidki!
Khidki se dikhte hain nazarein
Aaj jhuki hain yeh nazrein!!
Yeh nazaron se.

Kabhi Milo se
toh milo aise
ki dil ki muskan
chalke ankhon se .

Be-Lie-f's- the Maan-Ya-taa!!

I often come across this crap of so called "belief- maanyataa".
Notice the word belief has lie in it???
Maano ya na maano = Maanyataa. (There I said :), not really!)
Ignorance is bliss but going out with half glass full leaves you more dangerous than a pyscho killer.
For once and all, i will like to sort this out.

NB: Thank you Vinati for the blackout trick.

They say, "A way to a Man's heart is through his stomach (good food)"
what they forgot to tell you in 21st century is " In order to bring that good food on table, you will have to earn it "
So, women out there, follow your passion and chase your dreams.
Rolling pin (belan) will roll anyways, there is a reason it is called rolling ;)

They say, "Love marriage has better chance of survival than arrange marriage or vice-verse"
what they forgot to tell you is "Whether you buy clothes from branded shop or local store, the probability of them shrinking or sustaining color will depend on which cycle you choose to load it in washing machine." [Yes, i am comparing marriages with shopping].
Remember, God never created "Branded" man or woman.
If marriages fail, its solely the responsibility of the individuals involved.

They say, "Manglik  person has fierce energy and will bring disputes/conflicts possibly leading to death"
what they forgot to tell you is, Its the drive "for more"(mang = ask)  and if it was so anuaspicious why would our oldies say "mangalmay ho!"
 Let me tell you a secret, a manglik person has unusual sex drive too.  Now, at-least,  i haven't heard or read, a person died due to having sex :)) If you did, let me know. 
Think of color Red, It is associated to Mars (mangal), people may adore it or fear its boldness; so goes for manglik people. Disputes occur because people by default resist change and discomfort.

Its time for new year. So, lets put end to these crappy beliefs and march for fresh start!
 Happy New Year! May you achieve new heights!

ABC(live, love, laugh)

I once asked my love

Tell me something nice 

and out came the phrase

Dil mein mere hain dard-e-disco!

To my surprise my ears had no fumes

but my jaws busted into giggle.

Well, such is life.

Sudden and yet impressive.

They say three "L's" make life: Live, Laugh, Love

If you ask me 

That's lame!
Why the other 25 letters of ABC be left?
So let's begin!

Alcohol, Action , Argue

Blues, Bike, Baldness

Coffee, Computers, Cries

Diamonds, Dukes, Darkness

Emeralds, Enemy, Emmy's

Food, Facebook, Fuck

Gender,Game, Google

Horror, High pay, Hip-hop

 Iphone, Idk, Ice,

Jack n Jill, Jeopardy, Job

Karma, Knot, Kin

Lie,Loot, Lolz

Me, Money, Miami

Noting Hill, Ninga, No's

Ouuchh, Oh-no, Omg, 

Poker, Pull, Push-ups 

Questions, Quotes, Quilts

Rock, Radio, Rose

Sorry, Sex and Shit

Thorns, Tear(as in wear out), Thank you (bags;))

Umbrella(rhianna, oh sure), Unicorn, Universe(duhh)

Valet, Volleyball, V-necks

Wtf's, Weddings,Weather

Xmas, X-(bf,gf,worker), X(wrongs, close tabs)

Yin-yang, Yell, Yawn

Zip, Zodiac, Zzzzz

Now i have compiled a ABC of Life. 

See me when you get them memorized to your heart, 

For slow learners write it in your notebooks five times a day  ;)

Rest don't show me your face.

Imagine, Interpret, Innovate.

 Remember the motto: Live2Cherish! 

Don't remember when but I started collecting shells and stones at shores, lakes and seas when I visit them as a part of remembrance and sometimes stunned by the natural beauty they portray.  And if you have known me or read my posts earlier, its obvious i would have some expressions attached to them. Someone said,  Dream Big!!! So lets explore what i have for you.

Shell Necklace. ("Probably i would tailor it someday")

The pink Family! ("Is it just me fantasizing something here???")

Black/White family being "strategic" ("Cultural diversity, common why should shells be behind!")

Doesn't it resemble a adorable & cute bunny. 

Now, do you agree????

                     

It looks to me as a angry pig ready to bully.

Now, what do you say now???

  

Makes me think of astronomy. How about asteroids?

 

Like to call it my porcupine shells, the fine texture just reminds me of porcupine feathers.

 

Some shells have notches like nosy dogs. See what i mean?

 

I can see a wave rush here, how abt you?

 (Trust me to an engineer who knows abt creep and fatigue this is a gem, but i would save you from those details!!!)

 

You see Quantum Mechanics is not just a theory. (Ode to Abstract art! I can relate things. :)) 

So, here I pause. I read somewhere that normal human attention span at a stretch is 20 mins so, I think i managed my math well to give a pic a min. Now, i don't expect that you get all of my expert correlation as i understand our frequencies need to be tuned. But, here is what i have for you if you didn't get even a single of the above pics, 

A Hope that someday you get it and realize what you were missing without my esteem level observations and fantasies.  ;)

Cheers! 

My encounters with someone special

I would like to discuss My Encounters with the one which makes my world look just perfect. I tried to find some adjectives to personify its importance in my life but all I can say is it’s the one which makes my life crystal clear. I can say it has capability to turn shiny and dull, silky and rough, brittle and tough, distant and near, trendy and classic, symmetric and asymmetric, and looks best in monotonous colors but can camouflage. (well, go bang bang,  Yes I have been doing a lot of product description stalking on deals2buy and buy.com and so the phrase “what it can do”. )

I have this symbiotic relationship with it. Symbiotic because we have mutual give& take, it provides me ease and I provide it a platform to have limelight. (Is it too much scientific? what do you expect from a biomedical engineer???) In the morning, it helps me to differentiate that it’s the ink on the daily newspaper and not ants marching on white surface.  It tells me that I am looking at person standing foot away and not watching an actor in a blurry movie. It acts as my navigation guru from my bed to other areas I explore in daily life.

So back to my encounters, never realized how it has influenced my life so much.
           1.   I am sitting in my bathroom, wondering how all of a sudden the area near my eyes feels so rigid?

2.      Ignoring the rigidity, I splash some water over my eyes and to my surprise my eyes weren’t wet, did it again, still the same, half in sleep I try to open my eyes and there it was on my flat nose.
*************************************************************
1.      One fine morning, I decide to dress up and was so puzzled as to what to wear but couldn’t differentiate which color would be best for the occasion, so I looked for my crystal clear ball, but to my surprise I couldn’t find it.
2.      The hunt began, after 10 mins of serious search, I find it hanging on my shirt (giggling at me) I think it said peek-a-boo!
*************************************************************

1.      The other day I found its fraternal twin to making it feel jealous. To justify my move, I wanted it to realize my worth. (If you have been in love, you know we all play such tricks)
2.      In my madness of revenge I forgot to show a right room to the twin  and later when I needed  it i had to resort to the old one to fetch the new one.
**********************************************************

1.      One fine evening, my friends decided to play badminton at night.(Wired, but that’s what we are, deal with it) My friend has one of its fraternal buddy too.

2.      Suddenly both of us are looking for a cork and after a minute position change of our corresponding sight-giving buddies, we find the cork right behind our legs.
*********************************************************

So, these are few encounters I have had with my crystal ball and the aakho ka tara. 
They say love is blind, but my love for my soul searcher is just the opposite. I turn blind without him. 
I know many people around me prefer me without it but I believe they are just jealous of it getting my Wesome (naah its not a typo, i meant WE some) company.  I have to confess, I take it for granted for not giving it enough space at times offer it untidy ones, amidst the clothes, bags, over the counters, but it is the first thing in the morning I look for .


Wonder, how I would have finished this post without its help, had it not magnified the letters on my keyboard for me. Ohh! My Love, without you how would have the world acknowledge me with tittles as serious, padhaku, Chasmish!!!

P.S. You get a Hershey's candy if you can figure out what i am talking about!

My Photography

I love this shot!
Look at their feet: Rightmost is raised to step forward (represents childhood), Centermost is anchored between sand and air(represents middle age), Leftmost is landed firmly (represents old age).
[NEWS FLASH: That girl in pic is not ME]

 

So amazed at the natural shades light-dark, soft-harsh.  Rhymes with a lyric in itself.

How wonderful would it be to  bid farewell to Sun who meets the Horizon.

Two Pure forms togather : Innocence and Nature.

If you observe the pattern of waves you can see 4  stages of life: Raised, Raise-Settled, Settled &  Drifted.

  I Wish to leave behind my footsteps on people's lives with grace and dignity, so people can look up to it to cherish their lives.

Ponder - My first poem published on poetry.com@2006

One fine Morning,
On My bed,
I set to Ponder,

What did I get from church?
Was it peace of mind and devotion;
Or was it the noise of bells and crew?

What did I get from meadows?
Was it the greenery and coolness;
Or was it bareness and dirt?

What did I get from education?
Was it refinement of manners and discipline;
Or was it punishment and dictatorship?

What did I get from relations?
Was it love and caring;
Or was it jealousy and hatred?

Finally,
What did I get from this thought?
Was it constructed to a rhyme;
Or was it discarded as a silly expression?

Soliloquy in hindi

ऊह तोह नहीं था की हमने नहीं बदली करवाते,
पर आज जो बदली करवटे तोह लगा की बदली है ज़िन्दगी.


ऊह तोह नहीं था किसके आने का इंतज़ार
नहीं था किसीके जाने का गम


पूछा जो मैंने यह क्या हुआ है मुझे
चुपके से आई एक गूंज


उस गूंज की गुन्नाहत से होती है हलचल
जब कहती हैं धुंद सको तोह धुंद लो अपने आप को


हैं बेकाबू यह जिया 
क्या धुंद लेगी यह नज़रें अपने आप को?
