Who What Where :(

June 27, 2010 / / 2 Comments

Day before yesterday morning, while coming back from office after doing a night lost my wallet somewhere. Man it is so disturbing. Firstly due to the loss of so many important things and secondly due the feeling of carelessness i am getting that i couldn’t take care of it and lost it somewhere like this. Absolutely no clues how and where it happened but i am feeling so so bad about it 🙁 .

Another cause of headache for last two weeks have been finding a new accommodation. So many things related to this one suck, so we have been planning to change it since long. Finally when some stuff got out of control, we had to take the decision and start the hunt. Man it is such a shitty job. Finally after 2 weeks or so and compromising a bit on our choice and all, finalized one and will be shifting by this month end.

On the little better side, finally managed to watch Rajneeti yesterday night. A good movie after pretty long time. Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpai and especially Ranbir Kapoor gave brilliant performances. Katrina did a pretty nice job too. A good enjoyment overall.

Looks like an incomplete post 😉 . Not much to write, just hoping for the things to be in little better order in coming time 🙂 .

zindagi yun thi ke jeene ka bahana tu tha

Beautifully sung by Salma Agha. See in the end, Ahmed Faraz is in tears 🙂

zindagi yun thi ke jeene ka bahana tu tha
hum faqat zaib-e-hikayat the, fasana tu tha
(faqat=alone, zaib=ornament, hikayat=story, zaib-e-hikayat=existing only in story)

hum ne jis jis ko bhi chaha tere hijran mein, woh log
aate jaate huye mausam the, zamana tu tha

ab ke kuch dil hi na maana ke palat kar aate
warna hum dar-ba-daron ka to thikana tu tha
(dar-ba-dar=door to door)

yaar aghayaar ke haathon mein kamanein thi ‘Faraz’
aur sab dekh rahe the ke nishana tu tha
(aghayaar=enemy, kamaan=bow)

ज़िन्दगी यूँ थी कि जीने का बहाना तू था
हम फ़क़त जेबे-हिकायत थे फ़साना तू था

हमने जिस जिस को भी चाहा तेरे हिज्राँ में वोह लोग
आते जाते हुए मौसम थे ज़माना तू था

अबके कुछ दिल ही ना माना क पलट कर आते
वरना हम दरबदरों का तो ठिकाना तू था

यार अगियार कि हाथों में कमानें थी फ़राज़
और सब देख रहे थे कि निशाना तू था
