  • Excited about the weekend

    I might possibly go to Pilani over the weekend. Last went there in April and am kind of missing that place.

    Meanwhile, I have decided that Simon & Garfunkel are my all time favourite non-Indian musicians.

    Also, happy birthday dude!

  • We are still learning..

    .. and Tendulkar is still teaching.

    I had said some time back that Tendulkar seems to be on a recovery trail, and the genius has not let me down. I am so damn glad that he has proved everyone, including me, wrong. Now only if he gets that 42nd century thing behind him and goes on to score many more.

  • Poetry

    Some gems of poetry from hindi movies.

    Likhte rahe hai tumhe roj hi magar
    Khwaishon ke khat kabhi bheje hi nahi, nahi
    Ainak lagake kabhi padhna woh chithiya
    Ankhon ke pani mein rakhna woh chitiya

    ~ Gulzar, Hu Tu Tu ~

    Chalte chalte mera saya, kabhi kabhi yoon karta hai,
    Zaameen se uthke samne aakar, haath pakad ke kehta hai,
    Ab ke baar mein aage aage chalta hoon,
    Aur tu mera peecha karke dekh zara kya hota hai.

    ~ Izajat ~

    Jab Nasha Tutataa Hai, Kitne Tukade Gire Hain
    Hosh Chunane Lage Hum, Hum Bhi Kya Sar Phire Hain

    ~ Phoonk De – No Smoking ~
