After dinner i went for a walk and thought about calling a school time friend whom i haven’t talked to since last 8-9 months. Oh man i don’t know how fast did that 1 hour go. we talked so much of old stuff. Our classmates, teachers, tuitions taken together and so much. It has been 10 years since i left the school. And it took us a while to recall the names of all the guys and places they belonged to. So much of fun collecting those old beautiful moments. Came to know about some other folks like what they are doing ? Some of them are married and even have kids :). It was a wonderful sweet 1 hour. Made my day ! ...

A wonderful ghazal by Parveen Shakir Update: Just found 2 videos on youtube.

Embedding both the videos here. kuch to hava bhi sard thi kuch tha tera khiyal bhi dil ko khushi ke saath hota raha malaal bhi [malaal=sorrow] baat woh aadhi raat ki raat woh pure chaand ki chaand bhi ain chet ka us pe tera jamaal bhi ...

I and my roommate were checking the DDA housing scheme results on DDA website and it didn’t work. We put the application number but it didn’t accept. God knows what the heck was the problem. Anyways there was something else more interesting. They have given a number on their website and we called that number and asked “We want to know about the DDA scheme results”. The voice from the other side said “Sir, this is Mcdonalds’ no, how i may assist you ?” :D ...

A wonderful ghazal by Nayara Noor. har chand sahara hai tere pyar ka dil ko rehta hai magar ik ajab khauf sa dil ko woh khawab k dekha na kabhi le uda neendein woh dard k utha na kabhi kha gaya dil ko rehta hai magar ik ajab khauf sa dil ko yahan saans ka lena b guzar jana hai jee se yahan marka-e-ishq bhi ik khel qatil ko rehta hai magar ik ajab khauf sa dil ko ...

Wonderful poetry by Wasi Shah dayaar-e-gair mein kaise tujhe sada dete tu mil bhi jata to tujhe gawa dete (dayaar-e-gair=alien/unknown place, sada=voice, call) tumhi ne ham ko sunaya na apna dukh warna dua woh karte ke ham aasmaan hila dete hamein yeh zom raha ab ke woh pukaarenge unhein yeh zid thi k har baar ham sada dete (zom=illusion) woh tera gam tha k taseer mere lahje ki ke jis ko haal sunaate use rula dete (taseer=effect) ...

If one is ready to understand:

Awesome lyrics by Nasir Kazmi and given a life by Nusrat saab. My lifetime favourite. gam hai ya khushi hai tu, meri zindagi hai tu aafton ke daur mein, chaiyn ki ghadi hai tu meri raat ka chiraag, meri neend bhi hai tu main khizan ki shaam hun, rutt bahar ki hai tu (khizan - autumn, decay) doston ke darmiyaan, waj-he dosti hai tu meri sari umar mein, ek hi kami hai tu ...

Well, in my second attempt, finally i managed to watch the full movie. First the famous statement about the movie: it exposes the realities of fashion world. Period. Now as a movie, the first 1 hours is almost crap. People either are over-acting or not acting at all. It gets little better after 1 hour. In the acting department Kangana Ranaut does pretty well. Priyanka Chopra is ok types. Raj Babbar has a very small role to play. For the whole 2 hours 45 mins, i was thinking, when the heck its gonna end ? So you can think for yourself how good it is ? I won’t rate it more than 2 out of 5. ...
