Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai

Tu Kabhi Chaanv Hain Aur Kabhi Dhoop Hai
Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Tu Kabhi Chaanv Hain Aur Kabhi Dhoop Hai
Zindagi Zindagi... he ee ee...

Kabhi Lagti Hai Tu Meri Saheli
Kabhi Lagti Hai Tu Mujhko Paheli
Kabhi Lagti Hai Tu Meri Saheli
Kabhi Lagti Hai Tu Mujhko Paheli

Kabhi Lagti Hai Bheed Mein Gungunati
Kabhi Lagti Hai Tu Gum Sum Akeli

Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Tu Kabhi Chaanv Hain Aur Kabhi Dhoop Hain
Zindagi Zindagi eee....hey e e e

rara ri ra raaa... rara ri ra raaa...

Stay In My Heart...

Tu Hi Meri Dhadkan Tu Hi Saansein
Tu Hi Mere Din Hain Tu Hi Meri Raatein
Tu Hi Meri Dhadkan Tu Hi Saansein
Tu Hi Mere Din Hain Tu Hi Meri Raatein

Tujhe Dekhne Ko Tarasti Hain Aankein
Tujhe Dekhana Ab Meri Bebasi Hai

Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Zindagi Zindagi Kya Tera Roop Hai
Tu Kabhi Chaanv Hain Aur Kabhi Dhoop Hai

Zindagi Zindagiii....

(Lyrics from G Album - Ganesh Hedge)

Stories from Star Bucks

Hazelnut signature hot chocolate tasted great today. Simply yummy and the best from what I tried so far. An undeniable fact I should mention here is the beautiful lady at the counter who placed my order and made it an even more memorable experience. Her mesmerizing smile and attractive eyes make her any youth's dream and any poet's inspiration. I topped that list this morning (blushes). This isn't the first time I have fallen for them. No guesses why I am addicted to this place off late.

Anyways, Star Bucks has come up with an impressive maroon design with flying birds, deers and x-mas trees for their cups. Befittingly they left the cap white to complement this new do. Good idea. I am impressed !

I should also admit am a bit disappointed, in that, there are no more interesting stories printed behind their cups. I thought they made up for interesting blog posts and kept me going. A new excerpt or a small story for every new sip ( read as new cup of coffee ) is what made their coffee a different experience and their brand - a stand out one. Not that their brand equity will be damned or anything as such. They will still continue to have strangle hold and be numero uno for sure. It's only that fans like me will miss these li'l things.

Simple ideas and subtle execution is all it takes to put you on a different plane altogether, isn't it ? They have succeeded. Kudos !

Hmm... ! but you worry not. I will find new ways of escapism and still keep you interested in my blog. I am good at it ;) Trust me :) ...

PS: Oh, wait ! Isn't this X-mas season ? Hmm.... a justified change then. Either ways am fine, still.
This blog owner should do one of these things. Either change his blog name to - 'Complaints Register' or stop writing ugly frust posts or blogs altogether.

But tell me, what can a someone who has forgotten to write poems or sweet smelling (!?!) words do much than crib... ?

He is now the Rahul Dravid of the bloggers community. Poking at words and trying to knit something out of nothing to make a sensible statement here and there and failing altogether.

We can only wish both of them a speedy recovery. Lets Pray !

Ban

Social networking sites must be totally banned and eradicated ASAP. Now that we all have each other's contacts and mails and messengers and what not to chat and stay in touch with, it is better we scrap off these unnecessary, time consuming and multi-featured websites.

Dogs are an egoistic lot. They have self esteem. Our fault that we care least about their dignity and discount their self-respect. We were wrong not probably, but totally. We only thought the poor animal would do anything for food and would come back to its master even after being hushed away. But they have more to their personality as I see.

A strange early morning event today pin pointed towards these two facts. After all, straight forwardness, honesty and faithfulness are some virtues to take pride in and hence some self buttering in the form of ego and walking around in high esteem aren't really bad. Or are they ?

For those who hold themselves high, they can't accept silly provoking stuff like that of a squirrel or cunning tactics of a cat. Can they ?

Love After Love

" The time will come
When, with elation
You will greet yourself arriving
At your own door, in your own mirror
And each will smile at the other's welcome,
And say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
To itself, to the stranger who has loved you
All your life, whom you ignored
For another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
The photographs, the desperate notes,
Peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit, Feast on your life. "

- Derek Wolcott Collected Poems, 1948-84, NY: Noonday Press, 1987, p. 328
