notes...

i ne'er was struck before that hour
with love so sudden and so sweet,
his face it bloomed like a sweet flower
and stole my heart away complete.
be composed-be at ease with me..
not till the sun excludes you do i exclude you,
not till the waters refuse to glisten for you
and the leaves rustle for you,
do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.
i wander all night in my vision,
bending with open eyes over the shut eyes of sleepers,
wandering confused, lost to myself,
ill-assorted, contradictory,
pausing, gazing, bending, and stopping...

i am os x

salman khan...amidst the storm yet again!!

why dont we leave him alone? by HIM i mean salamn khan-an individual..like you and me!!
its kind of strange, all of sudden the police decides to go public with the transcripts of his conversation with his 'then girlfriend' aishwarya rai!! and till the point that they were made public..it has not been confirmed whether or not the two ppl having the conversation are the ones we are talking abuot!!
insead of jumping to conclusions that salman khan is a traitor..close to dawood ibrahim should we check the authenticity of the tapes first!!
even if the voices are of ash and salman, is it so hard to see that its an obsessive lover trying to cling on to his love in a drunken state!! i am not trying to prove my loyalty towards salman khan fan club or trying to defend a so-called underworld aide..all i am trying to say is that a coin always has two sides to it!!
no matter what happens or to whom it happens in our of-so-filmy bollywood...the media knows where to rush.....1. Mr Mahesh Bhat for his expert views on everything and every thing...from Mr sunil Datt's death to Mr Shakti Kapoor's 'infamous' sting operation.
the second favorite is our very own salman!! always amidst a storm he has attained the "padavi" of the favourite typical bad-boy!! the last few years have been like hell for him..and the reason is pretty easy to understand!! no doubt more than being at the wrong place at the wrong time, it has been he..himself whose wrong but dont ppl hunt, in jungles and on roads alike!! how many of you know whats happening with Mr pataudi's case? was is crime of a lesser degree...
if proven guilty...salman khan should be hanged to death!! we dont need any more traitors or ppl who have absolutely no respect for the motherland!! but if proven guilty!!
its an earnest request to the media..please try and focus on the real news and not on sensationalising and serving it hot at the breakfast tables!! give the masses the news as it is and not flavoured with the lastest and the hottest spices available!!
then the shiv sainiks and their likes....think rationally people....your brokerage costs are not going to be paid by salman or dawood....its "us" who r going to have to bear the brunt of your oh so angry demonstrations.....
now a plea to our ownselves....to the masses...we have a mind of our own which can think, understand, analise and conclude provided we are given the real true facts!! let the police do its job...sincerely that is...and we'll know what to do with these 'desh drohis'...
come on now.....'dikhave pe mat jao, apni akal lagao'
salman can be good, he can be bad...but atleast let the truth come out before we label him as one of the omnipresent "gaddar"
till then...lets enjoy "maine pyaar kyun kiya"
a line that must still be making rounds in salman's head and heart alike and guess will continue to do so for some time now..........

men, women & brfeakups

“Hey sweet heart have other matters to look into”, “honey you know that I love you it’s just that right now there are other more important things”… Though just a few months back he seemed to have all the time in the world for us but then what happened all of a sudden…did he realize that this world is something much more than roses and candies or something else has just changed…. well no matter how much they disagree with us but somewhere down the lane either our dear boyfriends/lovers (as they like to be called) start taking us for granted or just loose their interest in us.It starts with a simple “take it easy” kind of statements. All of a sudden whatever small little things that used to make him happy project themselves as your way of over doing things to him!! All of a sudden you are asked to take chill pills. All of a sudden your calling up once a day seems to be just a little to much when earlier you were expected to talk to him for as long as you could…message all night long but unfortunately for now all you do is represent your love on a 72mm screen when there is no need to even project it on a 5mm one!!An insight into a man’s mind and heart!! Where is it that a guy actually deals with his love issues from? His heart or mind or both? What is more important to him-an Indo-Pak series or his so called love? What exactly are the things he expects from his girl friend?This is a strange little world of love and hate but this world becomes stranger when guys love someone in one instant while as loose their interest the other!!! Many a times it becomes a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of an affair!!Its not that the girls don’t loose their interest or actually stay glued to one person but then they can never beat a guy in his speed of making and breaking hearts!!All a girl can do is try and understand her guy for a few days until this understanding thing becomes a little too complicated for her sane mind, and then when she realizes that something might just be wrong and asks him what is it…the statement she gets-“I always knew that you understand me so well, but guess this I am just not worth you……” and at one of those insensitive days might just get a very harsh but straight reply-“guess we should break up, am just not interested in you any longer”What does a girl do now? Well nothing but just sulk for a few days try and forget her misery but then it is so difficult for her to do so. Do the guys ever realize how easy it is to break a heart but how very difficult it is to mend a broken heart? It’s true that girls are a little more emotionally attached in a relationship but then at least they are attached in some manner in a relationship. Most of the times all a guy asks for is a more of a physical relationship than an emotional one and hence it is easier for him to cope up with a break up than it is for a girl.Though I must add before signing off that not all men are alike their might just be a few chosen one who are committed but then sorry guys your percentage wont even be counted as a decent minority!! Why do we, girls, let someone come so close to us that when the time comes to let go we are totally devastated? Can’t this situation be avoided? Can we not be in a relationship the way guys are- Just so casual? Guess no…and probably this is the reason the men are from mars while women are from venus!!!Or is it the other way round??? Whichever way it is…we don’t belong to the same planet!!

years fly by...

Years fly by!! The truth behind this statement is something that I have realized in these past few days- the days that have closed one chapter of my life!! The chapter I don’t want to finish just yet!! Just want to hold on to it for just a bit longer!! But guess time waits for none!! Today my years in school have finally ended!! Now I realize that probably there will be so many people whom I’ll not see for the rest of my life and then there still will be those few who will stay with me for just a little longer and still those who will be there till eternity!!! All these years I was praying and wishing that the school should end soon but now when the prayers have been answered I find that this is not what I was actually praying for!! What was it is something I am not sure aabout still but getting away from people I have known for the whole of my life was definitely not it!! As I sit and think about my school days it seems that it was just yesterday when I had entered the premises of a building that was going to be my home for the next 12 years – by far the best years of my life till date!! It was the pleasant morning of October when I walked through the doors of a school which had nothing more that a few class rooms housed in one building but when I walk out of the same door 12 years later there are many more buildings and surely many more classes!! That October I was not only new to the school but also new to the town!! And I was very young!! My class teacher- Mrs. Powell introduced me to the class!! I was scared, as is every one when he plunges into a whole new world!! I had no idea as to what I was in for??? I took my seat in the front row and I was sitting all alone but then in the break a girl just walked over to me and introduced herself as Katy. She asked me if we two could be friends and I said of course!! Was that a question??? And so we became friends but none of us knew that we would remain so for all the 12 years we are in school though we have had our share of fights and those- ‘don’t talk to me’, days!! My life at school can easily be divided into three phases- the good, the bad and the best!! Most of my years come under the ‘ good’ category while, as there are those bad years, which are better off forgotten but guess life is to be lived and not to be forgotten!! The good years of my life were the years I made so many friends who were always there for me and who made me believe in me!! These were the years I can never forget come what may!! My life revolved around these few people and theirs revolved around me!! These were the years when I found out what I liked and what I didn’t, these were the years when my life was being shaped by so many people!! When finally the wet clay was being dried!! My life at Greenfield high began not with a boom but with a whimper!! And as it ends, again there is no bang though a lot of excitement and expectations…and hopes!! It’s difficult to hold on to time! We cannot hold it tight in our hands…time just fly’s by!! And so do years!! Soon we would be here in the same position though at different places trying to hold on to our college years but then guess this is what life is all about…as one chapter seems to end he other is open right there in front of you!! We only need to let time do its job while we gather our moments and memories, which will be there with us forever…no matter what!!

purpose

It’s kind of strange…this life of ours! One moment everything is just so fine and with the snap of a finger…the world is turned upside down for some….
Guess most of the people will agree with this statement of mine considering the tsunami has just left shattering the dreams and aspirations of millions worldwide.
Such things happening leave me wondering as to what is it that we are living for? What is it that we really want? What is it that keeps us going? What is the purpose of life?
A friend of mine asked me not long ago-“why do you think you are born? What is it that you accomplish in life? What is the purpose of your life?”
Giving a very politically correct answer I said all the nice things I could think of…. being loved, being taken care of, leading a comfortable life…. -these are a few things that we want out of our life!! But when a question is asked and if ever you think that it is not up to the mark, you give the reply as well!!! And so did I get a reply from this friend of mine-“the purpose of life is to end. Happiness is what we want; it’s not the purpose!! Keep thinking. Good night”. But how was I to sleep? When he had left me with so many questions still lingering around? This small question and answer round has left me wondering whether the purpose of life is to end, only?
Seriously when nothing seems to go right for us, when we cannot find even a single spark of happiness in life does that mean that purpose of our life is defeated? Does it mean that there is nothing else left for us to do?
But at the same time when everything seems to fall in place, everything seems to go just the way it is supposed to, can we make ourselves realize that the purpose of life is to end…all these things are meaningless!! Does it mean that we have to make ourselves understand that happiness is just momentary….finding happiness and peace cannot be made the purpose of life!!
What is the purpose of life…I ask with all honesty and seriousness!! I haven’t been able to either justify my reply or my friends!! It feels like all I am doing is go round and round the circle but haven’t found the center yet!! Keep thinking…I still am…
