Detachment

Kuchh afsos un lafzon ke liye hai jo keh na sake
Kuchh shiqwa un lafzon se hai jo keh diye
Apni nasamjhi se hi itne gile hain humko
Kisi aur se shiqaayat ab karein kaise

Kabhi kabhi tujh pe bhi pyaar aaya hai khuda
Jab kabhi khud mein kahin tujh ko dekha hai
Khud se mohabbat mein yun mashroof ho chuke hain
Kisi aur se mohabbat ab karein kaise

I love nonsense conversations

Conversation with friends F1 and F2.. not exactly verbatim

F1 and me (singing) : Kya kare zindagi, isko hum jo mile... iski jaan kha gaye raat din ke gile
F1: Ye gaana kitni saari situations mein itna fit hota hai..
F2: Kya matlab hai is gaane ka
F1: Our life has to suffer as a consequence of our doings.
me: Galti hum karte hain, bhugatna bechaari zindagi ko padta hai..
F2: I can't relate to it.. I can't separate me and my life..
me: Iska matlab tum aur tumhaari zindagi do jism ek jaan hain (followed by lots of laughter)

Waqt rehta nahi kahin tik kar, iski aadat bhi aadmi si hai..

I had to make a decision. Two options. Confused. What to do? I tossed a coin. Heads or tails. I needed heads. I wanted heads. Nothing  else seemed right. I prayed for it. The coin was in the air. The heart was beating. Fast. It came down heads. Joyous me. Couldn't believe my luck. I tossed two more times. Best of three. Let's see. One more heads. I still win. Hurrah! The decision was made. In my favour. But wait! The story had another dimension. Time. It ruled out one option. How? In the meanwhile. When the coin game was being played. The decision was easy now. In fact it had already been made. Tails, it was. I haven't tossed a coin since then.

PS: Don't worry if you don't get it. I don't get it, either.

Arrogance

Zara sa tadpaaya to wo khafa ho baithe

Humein aaya kuchh alag sa maza us mein

Tumko hi har baar haq sataane ka kyun ho?

Qismat ne aata dekh humein band kiye darwaaze

Zara hichke par phir khidki se ghar mein ja dhamke

Kab milenge ye faisla har baar tumhaara kyun ho?

Khushi ko nazar lagaane ki koshish kar rahe the zamaane waale

Be-asar hoti dekh koshish hum itraane lage

Khuda mera bhala tum pe meherbaan kyun ho?

Rootha khuda humko aawaargi mein jhoomta dekh ke

Zara be-adbi thi, par ho ke bekhauf hum bhi poochh baithe

Duniya mein bas ek tum hi khuda kyun ho?

Aaj ka gyaan..

If you did not forget, but you forgot that you did not forget, then it is no better than having forgotten in the beginning.

Dil to pagal hai.. maanta hi nahi

Even though

- I have almost not been following cricket since the 2003 world cup and shouldn't really care now after so many years
- India has played pathetically in the tournament so far inspite of having a real solid team (at least the batting line-up)
- It feels ridiculous to have your chances depend on how the matches that you aren't even a part of, go
- The possibility that the whole tournament is fixed cannot be ruled out..

phir bhi mann kar raha hai that india defeats sri lanka with a big enough margin, australia defeats west indies, india qualifies for the semis and goes on to win the cup..

Dil to pagal hai, maanta hi nahi.

Waiting for some magic to happen in life..

M-A-G-I-C ... Nothing short of that will do..

Acquaintances..

Anjaane raaston ki tanhaaiyon mein aisa ajab sa sukoon milta hai kabhi kabhi
Ki koi jaana pehchaana aata dikhe door se to ek darr sa lagta hai

Ki wo phir se haal poochh lega, aur phir se jhooth boloonga main..

Dil to bachcha hai ji :D

I would perhaps have been disgusted at such a news at a certain point of time, but today I find it funny. Such are the kind of effects of starting to not take things seriously :D

Reminds me of the Bashir Badr's couplet:
"Mujhe ishtehaar si lagti hain ye mohabbaton ki kahaaniyaan
Jo kaha nahi wo suna karo, jo suna nahi wo kaha karo"


Maybe, another line should be added to it, .. "Jo hua nahi, wo kiya karo"
