Uss poudhe par phool aya hai....

Watch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAA74ND00dU “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 co...

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! 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!!

The Monsoon Ballad - 2 : Waiting for the rain....

They say he's been coming often these days and waiting outside my window for me, I've been too busy to even know if its bright or cloudy, or which part of the day it is outside!! Heard he's spread the carpet of green all over, for me to see and smile when I peep out of my window. But I've been shut away in a box with lots of staplers and letter pads for company, occasionally clicking on my mouse... Googling the weather and blue skies in 'another part of the world'... fantasizing if I could run away and live there forever! And I complain I've been a slave to this corporate weather. And all I breathe is the smell of paper.... I take detours in my mind, wonderin how it'd have been if I was a farmer on the hill side! And I could've seen him often, wearing a rainbow crown on his head....Oh I definitely think you're handsome, Rain!! And I day-dream about getting drenched in a sweet surrender, and I imagine the droplets chatter occasionally, hummi...

Monsoon Ballad - 1 : Muddy Blues!!!!!

Rain came splashin' down, And outside my window i hear it pour, Droplets dash against the window sill, Descending down the floor! The smell of the earth, So wet and muddy Fills my senses up! Rising from the ground And all over around, I watch it gallop!! My clothes are soggy wet, And so are my shoes! But the heart's dry as ever, I hate these moody blues! If rain is like music And life is a song Then i wish it rained All life long!!!! Ill sing my blues All through the night, Till the morning comes With the first ray of light!! And then in the daylight When the sun shines, I'll remember your promise - I'm yours and you're mine!!!

You are......!!!

Sometimes I wonder What you are to me Are you the horizon star Twinkling from a-far!?!? You are someone who doesn't pretend, You are something i can't comprehend. The forbidden fruit I'm tempted to eat, The beginning of sin, chains around my feet, Yet u're the wind beneath my wings You rock my world;the tremor in my trembling knees!! You're the air that fills my lungs, And then i exhale and set you free!! Sometimes you're like sand slipping' out of my hand, Free you'll always be!! You're a mirage i can see but not touch, A hard habit to break, you're like addiction You are to me what sugar is to a diabetic; You're the reason behind my war with destiny!! Your spell cast on me Your fear haunts me The cut on my bleeding finger You are the bandage that heals me!!! The walls of my arteries layered with pain, You are the prayer; unanswered in vain! You're like a parasite I'm the stale loaf You'...
