“Yaad hai, ek din mere maiz pe baithe-baithe,

cigarette ki dibiya par tumne,
chhote se ek poudhe ka ek
sketch banaya tha...!!
Aakar dekho, us poudhe par phool aaya hai.”


TRANSLATION - 

Nowhere close to what Gulzar Sa'ab's own words and voice convey here, but I've tried to translate it - 

“Do you remember one day while sitting at my desk, on a pack of cigarettes, a small shrub/plant you had sketched? Come and see.... a flower has bloomed on it!!!”
----

When I heard this in the writer's own voice, I felt like 'Life' itself was whispering this to me that a flower has bloomed, come and see it! And, I've been a little restless again since morning, eagerly... enthusiastically restless and searching.... for that flower! 

I vaguely remember, I might've sketched a small shrub or a plant on a page of an old diary that i've lost, or a paper napkin while sitting at a coffee shop, or maybe i might've actually doodled on a cigarette pack absentmindedly! Maybe that desk I used to sit on in class 2 or 3 ?! Or maybe on that wall in an empty room inside my heart... 

What I didnt know, is that I always secretly hoped or knew it would bloom flowers! Thanks Gulzar Saab for tellin me it has...

I feel its fragrance and vibrance, and Im smiling!! :))

Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Towards more picturesque speech... My tribute to The Reader's Digest!!

Things i love............. -- Poetry...as much as prose! Reading, writing and pondering upon things... To the sea- Once while watching the waves continuously pulled up and pulled back it looked as though someone was trying to make a bed and couldn't get it right spreading the sheet properly!!!!!! :P \m/ Not to forget, i felt closest to "YOU'' too!!! But i love the MOUNTAINS more!!!!!!! -- A good pun is its own re-word!!! \m/ But why is it that we DO have to pay for a short-cut in the long run?!?! We've known for sure that a small chip on the shoulder can indeed get to be heavy load!!!! But times are a-changing and today's modern boy would rather follow his father's tyre tracks, than his footsteps!!! And have u ever wondered, did Elizabeth tailor her own clothes?!?!? -- Metaphors- I love painting word pictures. And literally, "metaphorically speaking.." happens to be my favorite phrase!! :P Think about this- A tiny acrobat of hope somersaulted in h...

Alright, so you can seduce my mind and have my body. But, do you think its clever?!? I wonder how it'd be, Ah, its a silly thought, i know; as silly as me; But if you could find my soul and see me as a whole Then you could have me "forever"!!! Perhaps...
