Ke bin tere jeena nahi…

Bheed mein bhi hum tanha rahe
Tere gum ne yeh halat kar di
Kabhi khud ke liye kuch soch sake
Itni bhi nahi fursat di

Aankhon ke talash jo hai
Woh hai tera chehra
Dhadkan dil ke paas to hai
Lekin hai bewajah
Mein hoon shaakh se ab koi patta toota hua
Mujhko yeh hawaein bulaati re har jagah

Ke bin tere jeena nahi
Haan bin tere jeena nahi
Na bin tere jeena nahi
Ja bin tere jeena nahi

Chahe jitne bhi aanson bahe
Saansein seene mein chubhti rahe
Muskura kar har gum sahe
Dil se ho kam kabhi na yeh dard tera
Phool jaisa lage har zakhm tera
Ek mujhko to jeena nahi
Ke bin tere jeena nahi

Teri yaadon mein har pal kate
Khud se teri hi baatein karein
Dil ek gaon sa banjar rahe
Humko manzoor hai har sitam tera
Berukhi bhi teri bewafapan tera
Jaam kushiyon ka peena nahi
Ke bin tere jeena nahi

Awesome work by Sayeed Quadri in the movie Aggar

A fateful meeting

Just when my eyes went sore
just when the emptiness settled in
I meet a soul, confused to the core
I thought I had enough myself
and there he was, creating a mess of his own
he seems to be on a trip of his own
while i just lost my destination so bleak
how different yet so similar he seems to me
What a mockery it is a thing called life
where a decade apart, but thoughts are alike
There he bared it all
but still deep within layers remain
he laughs and regrets it all
talks and wishes to erase its call
He has this passion to end it all
and I to live it through
its pain both ends,
yet the will, the zeal, the zest
the wars differ
and here we are strangers
kindling friendship for strange reasons
knowing well it wont last more than this season

- Varshita

What will letting go mean?

Found some idea online and worked on it.

Letting go will not mean that I stop caring
it would just be that I would stop showing
Letting go will not lead to me cutting myself off from you
its just the realisation that I cant control your feelings
Letting go would mean learning from the reality
even when its pretty late in the day
Letting go will mean accepting the supreme power’s verdict
realising that the outcomes were never in my hands anyways
Letting go will not mean that I would change myself
it would be me trying to make the most of myself
Letting go will not mean that I would leave it all on destiny
infact it will allow me to find mine with the passage of time
Letting go will not mean that I would judge the person
but I will create space for the other to face reality
Letting go will not mean that I would point fingers
but instead, I would do my soul searching
Letting go will not mean that I would deny the reality
but I would accept it and try to become what I dream I can be
Letting go will not mean that I regret the past
instead that I cherish it but live in the future

This is what I call romance!!

No lip singing, just a background score, when Dev Anand is about to die and meets Waheeda Rehman when he fasts for 12 continuous days in the movie Guide. Mohd. Rafi at his best.

Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai
ho jahan bhi le jaaye raahien hum sang hai

lakh mana le duniya saath na yeh chootega
aake mere haathon mein haath na yeh chootega
o mere jeevan saathi

tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai
ho jahan bhi le jaaye raahien hum sang hai

How bad is it?

How bad is it to have a strong personality? Having certain opinions, having surety in what you want, what you need, or knowing where you are heading?

And mind you here I am not referring to a person being aggressive or adamant with it.

Then why is it that people are intimidated by those who have strong personalities? Why is it a person having a comparative stronger personality labelled as a person who can overpower the other? Who can impose and be adamant with his/her beliefs/ opinions in future? Why is adamancy considered synonymous or atleast a great feature of a person with a strong personality??

Adhoora phir bhi hai poora…

I have many drafts in my blog right now, some of which I dont think are complete, and I dont think I’ll ever be able to add anything to them. I guess I should simply just let them be, the way they are… incomplete just like me.

Aaj yeh adhoorapan bhi bahut khoobsurat hai.

Who make for a sucessful pair?

This is an old post…. but since I am in a pretty odd mood, I have a lot of clearing up to do.

Today while watching Kofee with karan, I heard Javed Akhtar say something that I always believed in. It wasnt something new to me, but I loved the way it was put across.

He said that the two people in the relationship shouldnt be alike, cos then there isnt the need of the other. One is sufficient. They shouldnt be totally different aswell cos then they cant survive together. What is required then for a sucessful relationship is a few set of likes and dislikes, which keeps it going and keeps it interesting. Both partners should look at enriching themselves from the other rather than expecting the other to become like them.

I felt like clapping for what he said so beautifully, cos I failed to express this to someone in the manner that he did. I have been in a situation where I feel I meant exactly the same, but I dont think I ever had those words to say it as simply and accurately as he just did. Aah, so similar to the the desperation of Meg Ryan in “You’ve got mail”.

Time

There comes a point in life when you know you are flying. When you know its the best period of your life. When you know you are happy… truly happy from within. When life is beautiful. When all your dreams come true.

And then comes a time when it all ceases to be. When nothing remains, but just a void. Thats when you realize the importance of what you just had in the past. What it was and what it meant to you.

You may either chose to negate that fact, or live with it for the rest of your life, cos it aint coming back.
