Reunion...

We were meeting each other after a whole year!

Not that we were completely out of touch.. Of course - those not so infrequent phone calls, mails, msgs... chats.... throughout the year... when she would ask me how I was doing... And I would reply... Everything's fine! And when I asked her the same, she would say everything was never better... :) Our little sorrows and lumps in our throats we would just hide behind 'I-miss-you's... And try to explain our tears with that... to each other...

I wasn't oblivious to what she'd gone thru'.. No idea whether she knew more than what I told her.. Yet we maintained that I'm-fine-but-I-miss-you... Let the silence continue.. Hadn't someone said something about it being golden?

And now.. We were meeting each other after a whole year! I was wondering how it was going to be... The door opened and there she stood..!

She stepped forward with her arms outstretched.. And when a tear appeared at the corner of her eye, I said, "Hey! You'd promised we would enjoy each others' company.. after so many days.. and not think of anything else! Why are you crying now!"

She said, "Silly Danny! These are tears of joy!"

Tears of joy..!? Rather, unshed tears that push their way out on seeing your beloved friend..., that seek to be wiped with her loving fingers.. unquestioningly... "Let me cry a little, and then I'll be fine..." - we both said to ourselves...

not aloud... :)

Na jhukne doongi...!

yeh housla kaise jhuke

yeh arzoo kaise ruke

manzil mushkil toh kya

dhundla sahil toh kya

tanha yeh dil toh kya ho

rah pe kaatein bikhare agar

uspar toh phir bhi chalna hi hai

shyam chhupa le sooraj magar

raat ko ik din dhalna hi hai

rut yeh tal jayegi

himmat rang layegi

subah phir ayegi ho.....

hogi humein joh rehmat ada

dhoop kategi saaye tale

apni khuda se hai yeh dua

manzil lagale humko gale

jurrat sou baar rahe

uncha ikrar rahe

zinda har pyaar rahe ho.....

Cud I get closer to Paradise?

Listening to amazing songs.... :) For as much time as I want to! (Well not really... :P ) And telling something to someone what I have wanted to from more than a year... something unpleasant... but having told it finally...! Could I get closer to being in Paradise?

Anyways... I could get closer to being in Paradise! By creating Paradise right here! Where I already am :)

Ok on another note, a lot of my friends are now blogging and really wonderfully :) Plz visit Arun's and Kaustubh's blogs... I'm sure you'll keep visiting hereafter.. :)

This is how good things spread... from one friends circle to another! And to another....!

Thanks a lot Kathsie dear! :)

Blog-nagging Mohan... Tum jaago Mohan pyaare...

Sometimes my blog-nagging has a good effect!!!!!!!! And I am so damn pleased!!!!!!!!! :)

First a wonderful poem, and then the post dedication! Thanks for making my day Shetts! :)

There may or may not be such wonderful ppl in this world... like the one in your poem, but thanks for letting one believe that there are... I guess that's what all nice poets do... create some moments of happiness for their readers... and those moments of H. in turn give rise to a lot of better things :)

Thank you so very much!!!!!!

And I hope to jagao myself too! :)

Aaye ho?

Aaye ho meri zindagi mein
tum bahaar banke,
Mere dil mein yun hi rehna
tum pyaar pyaar banke ...

Aankhon mein tum base ho
sapne hazaar banke,
Mere dil mein yun hi rehna
tum pyaar pyaar banke ....

mere saathi mere saajan
mere saath yun hi chalna
badalegaa rang zamaanaa
par tum nahin badalnaa

An Announcement :)

oye... me still alive... :P
