Chalo aaj phir do baatein karte hain

Chalo aaj phir do baatein karte hain
Phir lafzon ki chayo mein apne ishq ko gumrah karte hain
Baatein un kuch panchiyo ki, jo hass rahi hai hum par
Ki dekho zara inhe
Kaise apne khayalo ke par kaat mayoos hain yeh dono
Baatein un wadiyon ki
Jo pyaar ki goonj ki intezaar mein
Behri ho chuki hain

Chalo aaj phir do baatein karte hain
Tum bolte rehna aur main tumhare chehre ki tasveer apne zehen mein utarunga
Apne in pathar jaise haathon ko kosunga
Kya bin kharoche tumhe yeh kabhi chhu payenge?
Kya kabhi is muskurahat ki neev main ban paunga?

Aisa bhi kya darr hai?
Aisa bhi kya shor hai?
Ki tumhara dil mujhe aaj sun bhi nahi pa raha?
Mere lafzon mein khud ke naam ka zikr sunoge, toh dekhoge kaise kaanp te hain yeh hoth
Kaise saansein chhoot si jaati hain aur hawa rukh badal leti hai
Kaise jhoom uthta hai mera mann aur naachti hai yeh sham
Ki in pheeke shabd ke beech yeh deewani mehek kis ke naam ki thi?

Chalo aaj phir do baatein karte hain
Shayad mere ishq ki takdeer ko kahani naseeb nahi

Just about anyone can make you laugh honey, its the ones that don't make you cry that are worth fighting for

Are you reading this?

I don't know where to begin but I know there is a lot on my mind. It has been a while since I wrote anything and my thoughts are rusty. This may help lift the cloud.

I find myself to be an extremely lucky person. I believe I have everything that one needs to lead a happy and fulfilling life. I have great friends, a loving family and a girlfriend I can't describe in words. Life has been going great for me and I don't think I can point my finger at anything that I'd like to change.

Over the past year, I have discovered a lot about myself. I have discovered the true sense of morality, respect, and friendship. I have learned about people, and I have tried to make sense of how people think. I have also discovered how true love can be, and the power it holds. Love isn't about dates and pillow talk, it is much more. It is a silent yet brilliant ray of sunshine that guides you forward. I believe I am in the possession of such love, and I feel humbled in its presence. 

I don't work hard so that I can buy a big car for us. I work hard to buy us time. Time, that cannot be touched by worries. I want to give myself to you. 

You

Love is chemistry. You come in contact with millions of people, and only the right one is the catalyst that gets your heart racing. Everyone else is radioactive waste. 

Love

Today I stand in hopes to remind you,
Of a certain silver lining on the cloud behind you,
For the feeling is love, that I talk about
That has slowly and surely, for once has aligned you

I have seen pure love, and I can easily say
That the one you have will slowly rewind you,
Teach you to smile, push you to laugh
And in times of trouble will surely guide you

Love is for you, love is for me,
Love is for everyone who has walked behind you,
It will teach you to hide, it will teach you to fly
And in times of the darkness, it will sweep down and find you

Trip

Flying like a leaf. No control over the body. Legs are so heavy they need support, they pull my body into the ground. I am inflating and deflating with time. I have camera vision, I have unlimited depth of field. Everything is edited like a brilliant film. All dialogues are crystal. The focus shifts from one point to the other. I can see the shift. It is not ultrasonic as it used to be. Lots of colours. That feeling when all reason is lost. Everything is a haze. Laughter is all that governs me. Timing is brilliant. Everything fits yet seems so mysterious.  

His breath was heavy and so was his heart,
His arms were tired and his eyes were wet,
In a moment they had been torn apart,
He sat alone in the park they had met

Let it Be

John, Paul and George are common names. We might hear them all the time and not give it a second thought. Put them all together, (with Ringo of course) and we get what I acknowledge as justice to music.

The Beatles have always fascinated me. Be it the fact that I heard my Principal sing Let it Be in the school assembly and fell in love with the song, not knowing that I had been born post an era where music had a whole new dimension: soul.

The Beatles' music has a certain tick about them. Something that makes you smile and sing along with love and feeling. Every note is so pure, all the lyrics are so beautiful and the way the song flows into the ears is pure ecstasy Every word is audible, legible and the songs always tell a lovely story; of submarines, girls, friends and even the facts of life.

I really have no words to describe how I feel about them. A Facebook status got this instinct of mine to rise up at this late hour and reflect back on the respect and love I have for them. Every song I hear makes me picturise  the Beatles with their naughty and toothy smiles( in black and white ;) ).

I thank you for the love you have shown to the world. To what you have given us forever. There is good music, great music, unbelievable music and then comes your music. How I wish I could have been a part of Beatlemania when it ran rampant throughout the world. 

Thank you Shruti for you Facebook Status. I would have never had the time to realise how much they mean to me :) 

Star

She followed the light and found him. He had waited long enough.
The stars did shine brightly that night, he knew she would come.
There was nothing said, the rustle of the wind was enough to make the moment come alive.
All there stood was them, silent yet powerful, quiet yet loud.

Reached

Over the mountain, through the winds,

He leaped with lust for his love to be,

Under the shadows and over the clouds,

Yes, he reached the shore,

With fervour, with glee

The soft sand painted his feet with love,

The waves did break in song for thee,

He had reached from a land far far away,

With passion in his eyes, 

and a soul set free

She crawled out of the cave she
had waited,

To hear his voice over the deafening sea,

Yes, he held her tight in his tired arms,

He melted her heart

and so did She.. 

मन

गूँज रही थी जो कानो में आवाज़,

आज उसी गूँज में खो जाने का मन है

छू गयी थी जो बचपन की कुछ बातें

आज उन्हें बातों को दोहराने का मन है

भाग कर आया हूँ जिस घड़ी से मैं

आज उसी पल से टकराने का मन है

लड़ा था जो समुन्द्र की लहरों से 

आज उन्ही लहरों में भए जाने का मन है

रखें हैं जो खयालों पर पत्थर 

आज उन्ही पर्वतों को पिघलाने का मन है

हज़ार जो बातें करी है सबसे 

आज उन कुछ बातों को आज़माने का मन है  

आज नहीं रुकुंगा किसी मोड़ पर मैं

उस दीवाने रास्ते को डराने का मन है 

ख़ुशी के जो लम्हे बाँटें थे सबसे

आज उन्ही लम्हों से घबराने का मन है

सोच रहा हूँ आज मैं खुल कर

तुम ही बतायो मेरा क्या मन है?

ज़िन्दगी से लम्बी कोई तकदीर नहीं 

पल पल इसे जी जाने का मन है...

Touch

Walking away, in silent footsteps,
She looked back and smiled, to melt his heart
He ran towards her, through forest thickets
Over gnawing thorns, that set them apart

Her hair flew as she glided away,
Leaving a trail of love and smile,
He breathed it in, with arms open wide,
For it had been long, since he had felt so alive

He took her in his arms, and looked into her eyes
He saw her thoughts, her laughs, her cries
Yes, they had met after 180 days of winter
And now they were united, under the beckoning skies

The rush of blood, the touch of skin,
The sound of breath, the taste of him
The smell of lust did bring them near,
Their hearts rejoiced, in silent song,
With unsaid words, and that unshed tear

Breath

" Why did you have to break this up? Why couldn't you let me be? "
" I wanted to be with you forever. Life doesn't go the way we plan it. "
" What stopped you? Don't you think I deserve to love you back? "
" You are the only one who has truly loved me. I can't bear to see you in pain."
" Then why are you running away! Why are you packing away all my pictures? "
" Your smile makes me want to hug you again. To melt away in your arms. I want you to breathe me in and hold that moment forever. "
" I don't understand-"

" My love is wild David. I can't afford to let myself go free again. Love for me isn't just a photograph. It isn't even a person. It is to believe that one day, I would be exalted beyond reason. It is to live a dream and sleep away time. It is to touch the stars and mock the moon. "

" You never gave me a chance Jane. For all you know, I was waiting for you. To let me breathe you in. I love your smile, your hair, your lips. I love your smile. I love your soul Jane, can you live with that?"
I
" That is what scares me David. I will stay in your breath forever and you'd never breathe out. "

Herr

A man may always speak his mind,
For he has none to lose,
A man can always break his word,
For he has many more to choose..

A man can walk away from fear,
For whats in his heart he cannot share,
A man will always blame the world,
For to blame himself, he cannot dare..

A man will never admit his fault,
For to fail will let his 'principles' rot,
A man might never share his toys,
For he has all in an eternal knot..

Mumbai - I pray for thee

Blood and bone,
Metal and stone,
For God isn't one,
and to each his own..

I feel for the people who have been blindfolded into believing that what they have done is true. Revenge is a plague.. a bad disease.

I hope one day, people will see the light, for the tunnel is closing in soon. There is little time before everything sets loose. It will be chaos. Children will smile when they see blood.

I pray for the departed. I believe they have reached a much better place. Please, we need help.

Bells

He thought of her,
And she smiled,
Ever so shyly,
She did try him..

He kissed her,
Ever so passionately,
And in the midst of the moment,
Yes, she did eye him...

He bled and wept,
He drank and slept,
For he lived in her,
And she lived by him...

Click

It all started with an architecture site visit to Nalagarh where I carried my Canon point and shoot camera for documentation. It was on a day there that I discovered some features like colour swapping and colour accenting that excited me and I started clicking just for fun. I did click a lot of photographs and made one of them my wallpaper. The initiating moment was one when a friend saw that wallpaper and was amazed at the fact that I had clicked it. I felt immense happiness and pride at my new found skills.

From that day on, I carried my camera everywhere looking for interesting shots and I did find them. I slowly grew out of it and finally got my first DSLR camera a week back. I have never been so proud or contended.

Photography to me is more than a coloured picture. It means a LOT more. A photograph packs in itself, the power to freeze time and to show the world around the exact moment for years to come with the emotion you intend. Flowers are never noticed when not in photographs. Nor are still walls and silhouettes.

They say a picture can speak a thousand words. I say many more. The way you capture and present a frame totally defines the mood, the texture, the emotion and the subject. I am in LOVE with photography. It is an expensive hobby, too expensive for me to dive deep in as of now. But I am sure I will one day with my success, go in for the greater joys and toys the world of photography has to offer me. I would love it to be my profession. My avocation and vocation combined, as Frost would put it.

' All I need is a world of colour, detail and a camera '

Love

What is love really ? Is it an emotion, a feeling, a hormonal imbalance or just a premonition ? Is love real ? Are we real ? Is what we feel real or is it just something that our brain wants us to feel ?

Love is light. Love is pure. Love is being you for yourself and them. When you need to work in love, it isn't love anymore.

I feel complete.
