Auld Lang Syne ...

Was watching SATC the movie...love the song...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

आईना...

आसिम है मेरा या मेरा रफीक...
मेरे एहसास से अलग तो नहीं...
खुली नज़रों से देखा कोई सपना शायद..
मेरी आरज़ू का कातिब शायद...
मेरा वजूद उससे जुदा तो नहीं...
लिखता है वो काफूर सा मेरा अफसाना...
कागज़ नहीं कलम भी नहीं...
मदहोश हूँ मैं मेरी ही आज़ में...
वो नहीं तो फिर मैं भी नहीं...

Trivia...

Way too many posts that I want to write about the reason I write this blog, regrets of when you give in to social niceties (realized I should never do that for my own sanity), how much it hurts to know people close to you don’t have faith in you, super irritated at all and sundry who make it their business to know why I am single and not married yet (to them – please look at your own lives for any introspection whatsoever – my life is none of your business).

On the positive I really enjoyed my French class and look forward to reading an actual book in French and understanding it all. And atleast one person i know does believe in me (yes its a huge deal). And finally I realized I have moved on. Cheers to me :)

My kind of place...

How important it is for some people to appear that they are just and right and that they would never hurt anyone knowingly or unknowingly. The key word here is “appear”. The hypocrisy is blatant. I mean if you are being selfish at least have the guts to own up to it. It really gets to me. What if we lived in utopia and people were straightforward and would not hide behind silly excuses. I mean don’t they realize that people are not stupid and can actually see past their “appear to be caring” demeanor.

I think I have officially lost my faith in humanity…

Self Marketing

The thing about blogs, facebook, twitter and the rest of the jing-bang of social media is that it gives voice to everyone…even those who have nothing of consequence to say. I know all hell just might break loose and the people who slapped 22 cases on Khushboo might decide to do the same to me for even trying to be in the vicinity of “free speech”. But then we all know how free India is in its free speech ;)

Anyways before I digress to the point of no return, the in thing these days is to unabashedly tom-tom about your lack of any talent whatsoever. The only talent of any consequence the person will have is to write bragging statements about self. The worst thing about this is that most often than not the people who have things to say are the quieter folks who will keep their talent and views to themselves or at least not display it on their forehead, worst actually on their status messages. So the ones gaining prominence and becoming page 3 are the ones we would have dusted under the carpet had the not been so in your face thanks to the “this revolution called social media”.

Fickle Minded…

These are restless days. Sometimes you are just forced to think. The seemingly logical balance you had maintained with everything goes all haywire. My dissonance is attributed to some recent happenings in my life. It is making me wonder. Were all those relations and friendships in which I invested time, energy, emotions and years so fickle, so transient, so inconsequential. What is it that I do not understand?
