Abhi Kuch Din Lagain Ge

2011-01-29T17:04:00.000-05:00

Abhi kuch din lagain ge

Dil aisay sheher ke pamaal ho janay ka manzar

Bhoolnay mein

Abhi kuch din lagain ge

Jahaan-e-rang ke

Saray khas-o-khaashaak

Sab sarv-o-sanobar bhoolnay mein

Abhi kuch din lagain ge

Thakay haray huay khwaabon ke sahil per

Kahin umeed ka chota sa ik ghar bantay bantay reh gaya hai

Woh ik ghar bhoolnay mein,

Abhi kuch din lagain ge

White it is...

2010-11-21T13:23:00.000-05:00

It is here. Finally it is. The first snow fall that is. I always used to look forward to the first snow fall. It was our thing. Remember?

Some years it used to fall at 3 in the morning and oblivious to what time it is, we used to just go out there and welcome the first snow flakes of the season. I used to drag you. It was my thing. Remember?

You know it was really sweet of you. How you used to come along with me. You hated the snow. But you used to come. Like I said…it was very sweet of you. You were such a sweet heart. It was your thing. Remember?

Oh how you loved everything… white. So since the day you left, I haven’t worn anything but white. I know how crazy you were about white so I made sure the flowers at your funeral were all white as well. I hope you liked the arrangement. I tried my best.

I am sitting here surrounded with all your belongings but you are no where to be found. I have made my decision. I shall keep all of these things. I will make room for them. After all they are your things. And from now on I shall make ‘em… my things.

I will embrace ‘em all. Because a part of you still exists in each and every one of them. In the colored ones as well. But white will always be at the top. Because it was your color. It was your thing.

I will always remember that.

Always.

Rest in peace.

Individuality Is Everything!

2010-10-15T14:12:00.000-04:00

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like lesser of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.

When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”
-Stacy Carter

"Ab tak dil-e-khush feham ko tujhse hain umeedain
ye aakhri shammain bhi bujhanay ke liye aa."

do come to blow off these last candles of hopefulness too."

"And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless"

Empty Benches

2010-10-02T20:51:00.003-04:00

It could have been, should have been, would have been but it didn't happen. Every time I pass by an empty bench, my heart skips a beat.

I look back at me. I then look back at you. And then eventually... us. Together. Happy as we could be.

And today I passed by an other empty bench followed by an other memory revisited. Then relived.

Yep! That's how it's going to be from now on.

Sigh

P.s. This one's for Monica. :)

Milnay Kay Nahin Nayaab Hain Hum

2010-09-28T01:29:00.000-04:00

"Main hairat-o-hasrat ka maara
Khamosh khara hoon sahil par
Dariya-e-mohabbat kehta hai
Aa kuch bhi nahin payaab hain hum

Dhoondo ge agar mulkon mulkon
Milne ke nahin nayaab hain hum"

"I, in a state of awe and regret
Stand quietly at the sea shore,
The river of love expresses
Come, I'm only a shallow one

Even if you search from nation to nation
You won’t find me, for I’m an extinct rarity"

Performed by Abida Perveen

Yep! I have a thing for unusual things.

This used to be the place I ran to

2010-09-18T20:47:00.038-04:00

The past used to be amazing and the present has been just about okay. And who knows as to what the future holds? So I will keep running back to this place. A place I once called home and that's where my first friendships were formed and 20 years later they are still around me. In a city that truly defines the term uncertainty... this place will always be my safest home and I want to return home very soon.

"Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask"

This used to be my play ground
