Hero!

He was a Hero;

of this era;

I would have liked to be;

Irony

He always said;

be yourself

follow your heart!

He brought life

to his

Dream!

Took it to highs!

Only to be

Snatched!

From him

He kept on fighting;

never ever

did he gave up!

Springed back!

Stronger!

When ever

His critics;

His enemies;

wrote him off!

For he had;

Passion!

Grit!

&

Pulse!

To keep going!

Without him;

his dream stumbled;

Without his dream;

he stumbled;

Until;

they were united;

To Take on the world!

To change the world!

To live behind;

a legacy!

Unchallenged!

In its time.

Disowned at birth;

loved by billions in life;

February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011.

Steve Jobs & his Apple.

I have hated Apple company for evicting Steve in first place, and when he got back I have not liked it’s product for putting a price tag on all the things other than the instrument it self. But still, Steve & his Apple did shape the tech world and its path from Windows to Android, all followed what Steve’s vision! In end, it looked liked he knew long back, that it was his time, handing over reins of his dream, in real sense was hint enough. Salute to him.

Little Crush!

Sweet nothings,
sweet pains!
When there is nothing,
just some warmth
in Heart,
when
eyes fall on
someone who seems
apart!
Apart from others,
a part of you
who brings
unknown smile
to your face!
Just a look
is enough
to make your day!
Unfazed you stay
then whatever may come by!
That face
keeps you going
for no reason why?
It is just
a little crush
nothing else
but
that is all it takes
to make you smile
these days!
At first
it is by chance
you get to see
that face
but slowly
you start timing
your trips
not missing
a single chance
that
may come by!
Why should you?
If it makes you
as happy as
a Butterfly!
It is
just a little
Crush!
Just Enjoy!

Moments I should have had…….

Everyone falls in love some or the other time and everyone has some notions about what would they do in a certain situation, when they are with someone special. I too had my notions about certain situations, and as most know I had a love marriage, some came true and some dint; no regrets, but given a chance to go back, I would like to include them in my life experiences, some such situations, and why they did not get fulfilled are:

1. The girl I secretly love rests her head on my shoulder and sleeps while travelling in a bus, and in order to not wake her up, I travel to the end of line along with her and then we end up spending whole day together, while missing few lectures.

I started using bike for daily travel in 8th standard, almost never travelled by bus there after!

2. Hide that we love each other from our friends for few days and make up stories to avoid going out with group and getting lost together, more often than tolerable by group, as a result, arousing suspicions among group members.

My group knew before us, that we were in love!

3. Kissing on a railway platform!

Not possible, it is India dude! You may get booked on even if you are married,for you hugged your woman little longer than a natural wink, let alone girlfriend.

4. Spending a night outside in wilderness, just counting stars, and talking, no sleep.

I went to Dang district in Gujarat to fulfil this dream, twice and ended up sick both times, putting an end to my love for camping; also they separated girls tent area from boys, no chance to sneak out.

5. Getting drenched in rain and using fire to dry both of us in a cave….etc.

It is hard to find cave in city, besides I have sinusitis which catches on pretty fast if I get drenched.

6. Playing a lead role in a romantic drama and making the lead actress fall in love with me.

I auditioned, they selected me to carry props from dressing room to stage and back.

7. Run away with my love interest.

Our parents agreed without much protest.

8. To propose her at some exotic place, where no one else is there except for the splendid beauty of mother nature.

I never proposed! Till I was already married that is.

9. To waltz my way to her heart. That is, dance!

I have two left feet, an immovable / inflexible waist and no sense of rhythm. Plus, it would not have been a surprise if I had taken her for the dance class, and I did not find any other partners.

10. To have bed of flower in a garden and play in it.

Jetendra Movies are known to exaggerate, such things are expensive and may contain ants, so not meant for sleeping!

You too must have had a similar list, or may still have, if feel like, do share below!

Agar kabhi hogi meri koi beti…….

Agar kabhi hogi meri
koi beti
sar par chada rakhunga
use mein har ghadi
phir kuch bhi kahe
uski maa bhi
nahi sunuga mein kisi ki
Sikhaunga
padh waunga use
banegi wo
jo chahe
uska dil bhi
hogi uski
ho sake mujhse
jo khwaish
har so khwaish
puri
phir kyun na ho
uske pyar se uski shadi
Mere dar par
jo aaenge kabhi barathi
utarvaunga unki aarti
jhut jo bole toh
Dando se padhwaunga Pharsi
karvaunga unse
apne haatho ki safai
Mere dar par
jo aaenge abhi barati
Dunga sona-chandi
beti na hogi meri
kabhi parayi
par jo manga dahej
muh hoga unka
Kaala neela peela
Hathkadio se karaunga
jaan-pehchaan unki
Mere dar par
jo aaenge kabhi barati
muskan se rahe
meri rajkumari
chaunga mein hamesha yehi
par jo kharoch lagvay use koi
toh karva dunga
hadi-pasli ek unki
Agar hogi jo
meri beti kabhi
toh na hogi
wo lachar kabhi
apne pairon pe khade raheneki
hogi usme shamta bhari
par na hogi wo
akeli kabhi
Agar hogi jo
meri beti kabhi……

No second chance at life……

Disclaimer: To start with let me make this clear, this is not where you will be able to download the movie for free, not even songs, still interested you can read on.

When title of the movie says “Zindagi Na Melegi Doobara….” which means “You won’t get second chance at life….” one expects movie to be motivational, talk about living life to the fullest, and getting over your fears, all good! It checks out on all points! So here is what I learned from this movie…some I correlated with my experiences.

1.         Do not buy a present for your fiancĂ© on first day of the trip, especially if it can be seen by others labelling you or your friend gay, when you are not so, plus it might get damaged.


2.         If you want to sleep under open sky and watch stars, make sure it is not going to be cloudy (mildly disappointing), rain (disappointing), snow (little health concern) or hail (fatal) that night.

3.          Sleeping under the sky is enjoyable, but at end of it don’t be surprised if you have red stars on your body as many as the sky, from the ants you did not see and mosquitos that dint make noise.

4.           Don’t say things in jest, one of your fiend might do that for you. Like throw away someone’s handset.

5.         Always try things / thoughts out, even if you want to get in bath with that stranger whom you were just introduced to, do knock, it might just happen.

6.          Use good handset, no pink/orange or some other flashy colour like pink (I on't like pink colored gadgets) if you want to look professional (Don’t want to be laughed upon by your interest).

7.           Tomato ketchup must have been made, Tomatina festival way, hoping to create tomato wine, instead got tomato ketchup.

 

8.             Don’t say yes when you do not really mean it, you might end up running in front of charging bulls.

9.           It says “You don’t get second chance at life” still you can throw, drown, or crush your life, as long as you enjoy it.

10.           When you try to change someone, you might end up losing that someone, this is not always true.
.
11.       To enjoy life, last but most important, you need friends that will follow you into your death defying adventures.

There are more interesting take homes from this movie, but @vikaspgoel beat me to watch this movie and also blog about it, here is his blog page: http://vgoel.blogspot.com/2011/07/zindagi-na-milegi-dobara.html

Why you flew to the moon?



Why you flew to the moon?
leaving me all alone
I can’t decide
at these cross roads of life
on these crowded streets
no hand to hold on to
Why you flew to the moon?
not taking me along
I have tears in my eyes
no one there to wipe them out
on these rainy nights
I can’t see you among stars
Why you flew to the moon?
snapping my dreams
in a flash of light
darkness wins
my heart succumbs to fears
forgotten in your arms
Why you flew to the moon?
with cradle at my arm
I can’t fend for myself
who is there?
to protect me
when shadows lurk in dark
Why you flew to the moon?
death could have waited
a bit longer
you dint fight
was I not reason enough?
to live on
Why you flew to the moon?
the child is
still unnamed
who will hold it’s finger?
What shall I tell?
What star shall I point to?
Why you flew to the moon?
I have questions
you left unanswered
what was the hurry?
God!
We had no enemies!
Why you flew to the moon?
We were to
grow old together
I used to love that sound
why did it stop beating?
my ear on your heart
Why you flew to the moon?
What did go wrong?
You were to come back
at end of day
like every other day
by sunset
Why you flew to the moon?
Why is there no sunrise again?
where is my fairy-tale?
Where is my
"And they
lived happily ever after?"
Why an abrupt end?
Why you flew to the moon?
I used to hear your
foot steps
now all I hear
are memories
replaying themselves
Why you flew to the moon?

An inkling!













It started as an inkling
not even a feeling
caught me in the moment
I lost control
I lost my heart
or
was it meant to be
or
just a flitting
flutter off beat
It started as an inkling
not really a feeling
at the corner of my eye
hesitation
for a feeble second
I couldn’t say bye
It started as an inkling
certainly
not a feeling
it grew
had to turn back
retrace my steps
to you
couldn't ignore
not then
itched in memory
it started as an inkling
grew into a feeling
step by step
moment by moment
weakness of heart
or
strength of string
between rings
a lot like love
nothing more than friends
she said
and never said no
a kiss
that sealed
was not a deal
was not a flitting moment
was not a light need
no desperation
it started as an inkling
grew into a feeling
infatuation
attraction
want
&
then
need
it started as an inkling
grew into a feeling
love finally
but
just not another love story
