Kal Ho Na Ho

It is hard to say, if the Tulips in her garden are blushing more red or her cheeks,
when she hears Alexa sing by her window sill "Har ghadi badal rahi, hain roop zindagi,
Chaav hai kahhi hai dhoop zidnagi"
She hysterically bursts out reminiscing the coincidence of this song while prepping her Quinoa salad.
She reminisces on this line of the song: how she confidently jumbled the words with no qualms of authenticity.
That memory is retro as her red toaster-oven but the heated arguments over the lyrics of song and heartiness of Quinoa salad still lingers.

Palko ko leke saya

 pass  koi jo aaye.

Lakh sambhalo, 

pagal Dil ko

Dil dhadke hi jaye.

A song once cherished for no rhyme or reason,
Now rhymes a reason to revisit some untold tales of her life...

Par sochlo is pal hai jo
Woh dastan kal ho na ho
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama kal ho na ho
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo

Sunset Madness

Call me biased.
I have my bias towards sunset as -the time of my life.
Twilight colors is one of the perks about it but what really sets it
apart in my eyes is its patience.
It patiently waits for me.
Unlike dawn, it lends me the time.
Time: to finish my dreams.
Time: i think i need for the mundane errands.
Time: to cross the checklists of things i would like to accomplish.
So, finally in the evening i can return to it,
with the attention and love that it deserves.
That's how you reciprocate the wait of your loved one, na?
When glances speak louder than the words "I miss you"do,
When senses feel deeper than the words"I love you" do.
For in those glances and senses is where one finds home.
Home, sweet Home!

Excerpt from Diamond Rio's song:

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you"

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!!

AAJ DIL SHAYRANA

Jab Nazara kuch aisa ho toh dil kyu na shyarana ho!

I am overwhelmed to see a perfect landscape unfurling before my eyes. 

As I sip my chai, 

rocking on the glider swing(yes, i bought it),

and overlooking the sun reflecting its rays on the trees through my window. 

Surely - we love the image we create of a person we like, than what they really are!

Maybe in coming days,
I might loose this sight or
not have luxury to sip this chai or
rock this swing.
But this very moment,
I am here,
and its all mine to cherish. 

How often do your wishes get granted ?

It is this moment, i have dreamt of living in the past couple of years.

Blessed and Thrilled-I am to live this moment of my imagination.

 जब मनचाही चीज़ को आँखों से खूब ताड़ लो, 

तोह उनके दिल के करीब जाके ,

उन्हें अपनापन महसूस कराना भी जरुरी होता हैं।।  

Palaaat

The Moment, I turn my back on You,
You start blowing your whistles.
I understand its a no brainer,
If i am away.
But, when i am just few inches away from you,
Why do you yell so loud, My dear?
Ahh, I see
Its your way to reiterate
my favourite movie stars dialogue: Palaat meri jaan!
What an attention seeeker,
You are, silly Mr. Cooker !
