Songs...1990s

Just listening to radio gold..or whatever they call it, in the frequency terms- 106....there's this show running right now...which plays some really 'hip & happening' songs...'Aapki Farmaish' kinds...and its really funny the kind of songs people want to listen to, in this day and age..

Its not that I have not been a part of that brigade, which really 'loved' these songs in times they were released...though I don't really remember it too well how I reacted when they were 1st aired...but am sure I must've enjoyed listening to them...cause I know I surely did..after all we were not always in 2000s...

Actually come to think of it..there are not many songs..rather the kind of music that you listen to...that clings on to you...its very rare that a song that you really like today..might be topping your charts, probably 20years down the line as well....it is all so time bound! Everythin is actually so time bound, this is the reality!

Though there are so many songs..say from the 60s, 70s or even the 50s genre which I absolutely love...something happened in the 90s I guess..esp. the early 90s..to the quality of music..for sure....the songs that were made then...who listens to them now???? I mean really who does..except for a few stray songs here and there,....they all were so..cheesy!

I wonder how many really agree with me here...but I think..I really think..that was the worst phase of our music and 'fashion' industry....we talk bout the fashion industry later though ;)

Tick Tock Tick Tock....

It has been the longest day of my life...or so it feels......its like...how easily you let something just add on to your life and then when you..somehow..due to some reasons...not get it..for sonetime...the hands of that wall clock seem to be dragging on...terribly slow they are...

It has been such a long day......and even now the day does not seem to end...its just dragging on...I really cant wait any longer..it seems...I should'nt be so impatient, I know...but....somethings you just can't help.......

The Saturday 'day' fever!

Weekends have never  been too exciting..we can negate the 'too' as well...weekends have  never been exciting, though had a fantastic weekend last time...but still...whatever be the case...its been an absolutely boring saturaday so far...

No fun no excitement..nothing to do....dont even feel like 'acting lazy'..though those who know me would definitely know I am 'lazy' from the word go..and somehow i've just managed to rhyme....even though I thought doing so takes time...and I think this blog needs to end right here..or else...well....it already is a disaster..don't know what will happen if I continue..

The bottom line is..I am bored..I am bugged...

Traveller...

I think I have just realised that one of my favourite 'stress buster' activity of sorts, the other being shopping ;-), is travelling!!

I think I love travelling..though there are loads of places that I HAVE to visit...but still it all started well...probably cause of a lot of 'independece' of sorts that you get once you plunge into the 'earning' world, but that's how it is! Come to think of it, last 1 year or so has been filled with quite a few 'weekend getaways' of sorts..and thinking about them really pleases me a lot.... :)

So lets see....Jaipur...Mussoorie....Leh...Amritsar...Hyderabad...Vaishno Devi (Jammu)...I don't think i've missed out on any place here...so its like...12 months 6 places...that aint too bad, right?? But there still are soooo many places to see....and at present my wishlist has Khajuraho, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Vaishno Devi (Again), B'lore, Pune, Kerela (The last three definitely not in the weekend category)...topping the charts!

Hopefully this year (Sept 2008-Sept 2009), would have them added on to my 'places visited' list along with a few more here and there!!

Bonjour! :-p

Kite Runner...

A fantastically written book this is.....Surely the 1st thought that comes to my mind! Even though took me ages to 'finally' read the book....but the time spent was all worth it!

It is ironical how, the writers, somehow just can manage to put in words the right thoughts at the right time in the 'rightest' manner (Not a dictionary reference here!). But this is the truth!

Reading Amir's account of his 'old' and 'new' days...his account of the web of relationships that he had spun around himself..his 'relationship with the relationships'...everything...comes across as so very normal and so very 'you'!

I guess we all, at one point or the other, end up feeling all dazed. We all have our secrets...we all have a way of dealing with them..we all have our share of 'back-stabbings', whichever side of the 'back' we might be on....we all, at one point or the other, have made decisions...decisions to move on.....

A beautiful book....so simple yet so moving!! Surely a Must Read!

The indecisive me!

I used to think I am a Libran to the core...Even though I do feel the same, still, but somehow the belief seems to have been challenged...A libran to the core would mean living upto the 'balance' symbol in the least. But that somehow does not always happen..Believe me its tough, to strike that balance, am not even competing for the 'perfect balance' here!

But yes 1 thing that does make me a perfect Libran- my indecisive nature! And no one can beat me at that! I think this is one, probably the only one these days, that I carry with myself, in the most perfect manner as can be!

To be or not to be.....just added it in the end, to add that 'just like this' feel!!

Time!

Always too late......

Ik Nazm..

yeh raah bahut aasan nahi...
jis raah par haath chuda kar tum...
yun tan0tanha chal nikali ho...
is khauf se shayad raah bhatak jao na kahin...
har maud par maine nazm khadi kar rakhi hai....

thak jao agar---
aur tumko zaroorat pad jae...
ik nazm ki ungali thaam kar wapis aajaana...


-Gulzar
