Koyi Fariyaad - Jagjit Singh

Koyi Fariyaad Tere Dil Mein Dabi Ho Jaise
Tune Aankhon Se Koyi Baat Kahi Ho Jaise
Jaagte Jaagte Ek Umr Kati Ho Jaise
Jaan Baaki Baaki Hai Magar Saas Ruki Ho Jaise

Jaanta Hoon Aapko Sahare Ki Zarurat Nahin
Main Sirf Saath Dene Aaya Hoon

Har Mulaakat Pe Mehsoos Yehi Hota Hai
Mujhse Kuch Teri Nazar Pooch Rahi Ho Jaise

Raah Chalte Huve Aksar Yeh Ghumaan Hota Hai
Woh Nazar Chupke Mujhe Dekh Rahi Ho Jaise

Ek Lamhe Mein Simat Aaya Hai Sadiyon Ka Safar
Zindagi Tej Bahut Tej Chali Ho Jaise

Is Tarah Pehron Tujhe Sochta Rehta Hoon Main
Meri Har Saas Tere Naam Likhi Ho Jaise

Koyi Fariyaad Tere Dil Mein Dabi Ho Jaise
Tune Aankhon Se Koyi Baat Kahi Ho Jaise
Jaagte Jaagte Ek Umr Kati Ho Jaise
Jaan Baaki Baaki Hai Magar Saas Ruki Ho Jaise

Rainbow..

I want to show the rainbow..
How beautiful it looks..
I even got a mirror..
Thats hid inside these brooks..

Oh pretty little lady..
I've got something to tell you..
You may not yet believe it..
But my dreams are made of you..

Can someone tell the rainbow..
Or the pretty little lady..
Coz else they'll never know it..
What brooks and dreams can show..

Eyes

Eyes..
Can they ever lie..
Can they ever hide..
Whats hidden inside..

Coz I..
Saw that she was in pain..
Saw that she was in vain..
Which was hidden in her smile..

And She..
Never spoke a word..
Never even told..
That she was hurt inside..

Eyes..
You can speak to my mind..
You can tell me all..
Thats hidden in those eyes..

End of a Chapter!

There is a line in Jaggu Da's ghazal..
"gairo ko kab fursat hai dukh dene ki.. jab hota hai koi hamdam hota hai.."

A week back the cold war finally got over - or so it seems. I had lost my friendship years back, but the hope that I lived in since then finally gave up.

I once stretched my hand to pull my friend out from the pits. But somehow it was taken as a hand stretched to push one deeper in the pits. This hit me fiercely. It shook my confidence and belief. When I heard the words "..and you expect me to believe that", I smiled. It was a slap on my face.

I have always been true to myself. At times, I have spoken the truth without even thinking. Ofcourse, I make sure I dont spill others' secrets, but when it comes to myself, I have been always been open. Irrespective of this, when a close friend questions your honesty, no words can describe how hard it hits.

Nonetheless, I have learnt over the years that no matter what the situation is.. good or bad.. it shall pass and it did. It also gave me greater confidence and belief eventually. Jaggu Da mentions in one of his ghazals "mein jaanta hun aapko sahaare ki jarurat nahi.. mein sirf saath dene aaya hun".

Anyways, the chapter seems to be over. Life has moved rapidly recently and have made wonderful friends. I love all of you and will be just a call away whenever you need me. It means a lot to me to have such great friends. The confidence that someone believes in you is amazing. I thank Ma for being extremely kind to me and giving me the strength to fight and destroy all storms. I love challenges and will surely prefer to burn out than fade away!

Cheers!

TCS Night with KK!!!

KK happens to be one of my favourite singer!
Tadap Tadap Ke is like an anthem for me. Pal is another gem of a song. Hearing these songs live was an unforgetable experience. I was fortunate to sit right in the front, and it was no surprise that I went absolutely ballistic! I dint sing but screamt all the songs while he rocked the stage. Yeah, I have a sour throat, but its nothing when compared to the time I had!! The stupendous performance literally made the entire crowd dance.. me included!!!

He sang.. yaaro.. pal.. tadap tadap ke.. awarapan.. yu hi meri shab hai.. aaj kal neend kam khwab jyada hai.. and it all summed up for an amazing night. Kids from VMS too joined us for the show, and they loved it too. Some of them even shook hands with him.

Thanks KK, TCS & the Maitree Team. It was fantastic, and left me look forward to more such events!!

Cheers!

Mere Iraade..

mushkilen mere irado ka intehaan lengi..
shayad kuchlengi..
shayad parakhengi..
aur shayad uski majbooti aazmayengi..

lekin jaan hai in irado mein..
aur ye rukna jante nahi hai..
fisalkar uthna bhoolte nahi hai..
aur to aur ye haar maante hi nahi hai..

yahi kaaran hai ki ab na dar hai.. na jhijakh..
man mein saahas hai.. dil mein ek umang..
ek pyari si khushi hai.. ek atoot sa vishwaas..
jo jeet ki nishchit-ta nischint-ta bana layi hai..
