phir wahi tamasha

Think & act, people say

Build a list & make it stay

Don't trust his words right away

Look through facts

& check it twice,

Act coy & sugar-nice

Hold your heart

until you're sure

You have everything you want?

then ask for more.

I tried playing by the rules

& did all of this,

Used my brain

& gave my heart a miss

You see, I'd gone with my heart before

there was a time when I was very sure,

but that didn't take me very far

Aur phir wahi tamasha beech bazaar

So I didn't trust my gut

That said when I first saw you,

'Here's the one

The one you should pursue'.

I ignored that voice

& brought my mind in,

To overrule the magic

& enslave the djinn.

Lo & behold

That didn't last very long

& here we are writing our own song.

* phir wahi tamasha beech bazaar: borrowed from Tamasha by imtiaz ali

Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi Chhaaon hai kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi ~~Javed Akhtar, Kal ho Na Ho This is a post I will HAVE to name after my blog, simply because no other phrase can capture the true meaning of what I will try my best to express in words in this one. It all started on the Third Floor balcony of Omega, Hyderabad. And the best part is the fact that we didn't even know that we had started something new. We went through months of dilemma and denial while deep down both of us just knew. As a very dear friend puts it we had the 'connection' , but we were yet to discover it. Days, Nights, and months went by, before we realized. In fact more than 'realization', we accepted that we meant a lot more to each other. Today when people ask me for a time,date and place and what, where, how, when. I am clueless. Because it was not love at first sight, it was even more beautiful than that. A friendship that both of us treasured to th...

Aye dil hai mushkil Jeena yahan Zara hat ke Zara bach ke, Yeh hai Bombay meri jaan Ha haa, ha ho ho, ho hi haa ha haa Hm hm hm hm, hm hm hm , hm hm hm hm hm Aye dil hai mushkil Jeena yahan Zara hat ke Zara bach ke, Yeh hai Bombay meri jaan ~~CID ~~Majrooh Sultanpuri When I left home and came to Hyderabad, I was both scared and excited. Scared because I was staying away from home for the first time end excited for exactly the same reason! Everything about Hyderabad excited me, the job, the city, the prospect of finding a new house, setting up that house, deciding who to live with, new friends, basically a completely new life.I met my first roommate in the guest house, when we decided we would live together, we don't know. We were the only ones joining that week and naturally bonded. We went looking for houses together and found one we liked and decided on that one. I stayed in that house for 11 months, shared a room. I loved that house, i liked the loc...

Dilwale Dulhaniya..

"Na jaane mere dil ko kya ho gaya Abhi to yahin tha, abhi kho gaya Ho gaya hai tujkho to pyaar sajna Laakh kar le tu inkaar sajna Dildaar sajna, hai yeh pyaar sajna" ~~Anand Bakshi ~Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge If you grew up in the 90s in India and were a Bollywood fan, you would definitely have watched DDLJ and wished Shah Rukh and Kajol were married in real life. Simran was one such girl. When DDLJ released in October in 1995, Simran was only 10 years old. Her father, a Major in the Indian Army came home one evening and called her name. "Simran, Sim Run!" he said. One of Simran's favorite-est moments in the day was her fathor returning home at 5:30pm from work. She came running, her mom joined her from the kitchen, she was eager too! When the two lights of Maj. Khanna's life, were in front of him, he grinned and held up tickets. These weren't jazzy tickets from INOX or PVR or the other cinema houses. These were tickets from the Army Op...
