A chaotic mind

I actually had to try hard to spell ‘hire’ while writing something. The options that came in my mind… hiar, hayer, hayre…

Arggghhhh it was so damn irritating !

An honest confession of a man

men are like that, that includes me
we want to break up
but we dont want to dump a chick
so we manipulate them
make them think its their idea
where it is actually ours
con them and it works
sad but true
no kidding…really

Thats a friend of mine, well known for voicing his honest opinions.

Most technologically experimental 24 hours

I am a keen learner, but I am very lazy when it comes to doing technical stuff. I have relied a lot on friends to do it for me so far…. And when pushed against the wall, I really took it upon myself to do it on my own and walk the untreaded paths .

In the past 24 hours I have managed to

  • download a 700mb file (never dared to do that before)
  • download flashget to download that 700 mb file (never knew you can download a software to facilitate the download of files!!)
  • format a PC
  • prepare bootable floopy disk and cd
  • tried to install Windows
  • tried to install Linux, even when I havent ever worked on that platform
  • used DOS after ages and worked on it (those commands seem so irritating now after the windows GUI)
  • request a password change with godaddy
  • Phew ! Thats really too much for me.

    Roya re… dil roya re

    Tanhai sangdil tanhai
    sang lai yaad teri sang lai
    baar baar ho bahaar phir se yaad aai
    sooni sooni raah dil ki jisne ji sajai
    tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
    roya re, dil roya re

    har taraf bikhre hain teri yaadon ke hi nishaan
    meri har ek cheez mein hai teri hi parchaiyaan
    tu hi hota hai, tu hi rehta hai, mujh mein har dam sada
    pass bhi tu hai, door bhi tu hi, hai yeh kaisi khala
    yaad ban ke ashq teri aankhon mein samaayi
    yaad ban ke ek hassi hothon pe bhi aayi
    tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
    roya re, dil roya re

    Chaand suraj bhi wahi hain, hai wahi aasmaan
    zindagi bhi chal rahi hai, chal raha hai jahaan
    main hi thehra hun, khud mein simta hun, dil hai gum se bhara
    bin tere kaise jiyun mein, kuch to de mashwara
    zindagaani aisi reh guzar pe mujhko laayi
    saaye se bhi ab tere ho gayi judai
    tanha dil roya re, dil roya re
    roya re, dil roya re

    Maula mere le le meri jaan…

    An awesome song from the movie Chak de India. Now even though I havent seen it, I heard this song thanks to Vipin. A beautiful number by Krishna and Salim merchant.

    Teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    Tere sang kheli holi, teri sang thi diwali
    teri angano ki chaya, tere sang sawan aaya
    pher le tu chahe nazre chahe chura le
    laut ke tu aayega re shart laga le
    teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    Mitti meri bhi bhurri, wahi mere ghee aur choori
    wahi ranjhe mere wohi heer, wohi sewaiya wahi kheer
    tujhse hi roothna re mujhe hi manana
    tera mera naata koi toota na jaana
    teeja tera rang tha main to
    jiya tere dhang se main to
    tu hi tha maula, tu hi aan
    maula mere le le meri jaan
    maula mere le le meri jaan

    All I ever wanted…

    Tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua
    khoyi hai kyon har khushi
    kiski lagi baddua
    kisse kisse jawaab dun
    bujha hua yeh dil hai kyon
    kya main kahu bikhra kyon sapna mera

    bheegey se yeh din hai kaali raatein
    ansuon ki ho jaise barsaatein
    puche mujhse jo yeh dil ki baatein
    kya main kahu dard kyon dil ko mila
    tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua

    soona sa hai ab yeh mera mann
    doobi huyi si hai ab dhadkan
    jaaun kahan aaye yahi uljhan
    kya main kahu khoya kyon rasta mera
    tu hi bata zindagi jo bhi hua kyon hua

    All that I ever dreamt and wished for was a loving family, caring partner, a small house and a peaceful life, where everyone is happy. Never realised it was too much to ask for or expect in this life. The song “tere bina” from guru is playing on repeat mode since I started writing this post. And if you can do one thing that I ask you to do today, then listen to this song once without any distraction, without any work at hand.

    Just sit back, close your eyes and listen to that song and try and remember the day when you met/ saw someone special. Try to recall that eye contact, that innocence, the odd silence, the little hesitation, the racing heartbeat, the shyness, the surprise element, the couldnt believe reality…. try and recall it all.

    If this song fails to shake you today…. probably it never will convey what it actually is capable of!!

    I will let go

    This was one song that I heard while watching the movie “Jawbreaker” about a month or so back. Though its titled “flow” I think it would have been better as ” I will let go…”

    i’m always swimming against the flow of the tide,
    kissing the life into something that’s already died.
    i’ve been driving forever, i’ll let go.
    i dive into the river, and flow.
    you said that you could hear bells in the traffic below,
    i could hear sirens and car engines fighting the snow.
