Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries) - Official Trailer

It looks very promising... Somehow the Mumbai life enthralls me always... I am also waiting for the movie "Shantaram", the book was awesome...

और दूँ मैं बस मुस्कुरा...

कभी समझो तुम कुछ नही..
और करता रहूँ मैं बाते अथाह...
कभी ना कहूँ मैं कुछ...
फिर भी चाहो तुम समझना...
हर पल करो कोशिश जानने की ...
और पाओ खुदको उसी उलझन मे उलझा...
कभी लगे तुम जानो सब कुछ...
जैसे तुम हो खुदा...
और कभी तुम ना करो
बिल्कुल भी मेरी परवाह...
बैचैन होकर तुम कहो मुझे पागल
और दूँ मैं बस मुस्कुरा...

कभी मैं कहूँ तुमसे बहुत कुछ...
ना जानू खुद उसका फलसफा...
पर हर उस बात में जो मैं लिखूं..
है मेरे मन की अवस्था...
और हर वो बात जो मैं कहूँ...
वो है मेरे मन की व्यथा...
तुम जानना चाहो उसे...
पर देख ना पाओ वो पूरा जलसा...
तुम देखो मेरे वो छिन्न भिन्न स्वरूप..
और पाओ खुद को ठगा हुआ...
बैचैन होकर तुम कहो मुझे पागल
और दूँ मैं बस मुस्कुरा...

कभी ना दूँ मैं तुम्हारे सवाल का जवाब...
और कभी करूँ तुम्हे गुमराह...
हैरान से तुम सोचो...
कैसा है ये इनसाँ...
कभी लगूँ मैं श्रांत पथिक...
कभी लगूँ मैं उत्सुक इंसान..
कभी लगूँ मैं संतुष्ट प्राणी...
कभी लगूँ मैं जिद्दी शैतान...
कभी लगूँ मैं एकदम परिपक्व...
कभी लगूँ मैं बिल्कुल नादान...
न तुम जानो कैसे समझो मुझे...
और स्वीकारो अपनी विफलता...
बैचैन होकर तुम कहो मुझे पागल
और दूँ मैं बस मुस्कुरा...

ख़त्म होगा ये खेल तब...
जब शायद मैं थक जाऊँ...
या ख़त्म होगा ये तब...
जब शायद तुम चले जाओ...
तब तक हर साँस मे...
मुझे पाओगे तुम...
हर कहे लफ़्ज मे ...
अपना एहसास पाओगे तुम...
जानते हो की ये पहेली...
रहेगी अब उनसुलझी सदा...
फिर क्यों तलाश कर रहे...
हम अपनी ज़िंदगी का फलसफा...
बैचैन होकर तुम कहो मुझे पागल
और दूँ मैं बस मुस्कुरा...

Its Holi Time...

Happy Holi to all of you...

I have not played Holi at the fullest as I used to play. Reason is none of my dear friends are in the town for it, My Big B is also not here and there is an excuse for saving water too.

We played Dry Holi with gulaal and enjoyed in the best possible way we can ;-)

Return journey is scheduled for evening again with the same group but this time I have confirmed seat and luckily most of them also got, So not much adjustments required.

Another Fine day...

As always I visited Mahakaleshwar temple last night with my parents. Today in the morning I visited Chintaman Ganesh temple. Whenever I am in town I always visit these 2 places. These places provides me the energy to sustain in this competitive and cut-throat world.

In the afternoon visited Indore for the another phase of my work.

In the evening visited my friend cum sister Shruti, whom I met after 3-4 months.

After coming from there I watched Indo-Pak Hocky world Cup match... It was awesome.. Any competition between India and Pakistan creates so much buzz and thrill that you can not escape it. I believe even non-hockey believers would have also enjoyed it.

The thrashing by 4-1 made it special.. I liked it...

Trip To Indore...

After reaching home from the eventful train trip I have gone to Indore for some work. I was driving new A-Star on newly built highway between Ujjain and Indore. Although it is not built completely but still the stretches those are built provide me enough space to reach upto the 100 kmph mark :-)

The construction is in progress and hope to get it end in few months, after that Ujjain-Indore drive will become like moving from one suburb to the other.

Spent whole day in Indore and came back to Ujjain in the evening.

I went for some work in Indore and that was not completed fully so have to travel tomorrow as well...

My Social Network...

Yeah my social network is big enough :-) I had waiting ticket to go to Ujjain but once again because of this I got berth not only to sit but to sleep as well. 

I was traveling with my juniors who passed out from college 3 years later than me but still I was able to struck the cord very well with them. We were in all 7 people and we had 3 confirmed berths. We all managed on those 3 berths :-D

Had lots of chats with them regarding the college, Teachers, TCS. They have recently joined TCS and it was their first trip to hometown in the most lively train known as Avantika. I was giving them enough guidance how to enjoy the travel from Mumbai to Ujjain/Indore. 

It was great fun to be with and it added more feathers in my social network...

Five of Swords Reversed

Feeling that you are standing alone in the fight. Others no longer support the same cause. Us vs. them mentality. Gain of friendship and camaraderie. Time to concentrate on yourself and your own goals. Selfishness. Others' concerns no longer your cause. A power p...lay is at work. Boastful. You are trying to raise yourself up in others' eyes only to look a fool. Stop asking for others' approval

I Want To Go Back...

A forwarded mail making my blog-post :

I Want To Go Back To The Time

When INNOCENCE Was NATURAL,

Not FAKE.

When GETTING HIGH Meant On A SWING,

Not PROMOTIONS.

When DRINKING Meant RASNA ORANGE,

Not BEERS Or WHISKEYS.

When DAD Was The Only HERO,

Not DEPP Or TOM.

  

When DAD’S SHOULDER Was The HIGHEST PLACE On The Earth,

Not Your DESIGNATION.

When Your WORST ENEMIES Were Your SIBLINGS,

Not Your MANAGER.

When The Only Thing That Could HURT Were BLEEDING KNEES,

Not The TEARS Falling Down Your Cheeks.

When The Only Things BROKEN Were TOYS,

Not The DYING HEARTS.

And When GOOD-BYES Meant TILL TOMORROW,

Not For YEARS & YEARS.

Life Has Changed A Lot. And The People Too.

But The Thing Is That We Don’t Want To Accept It!

Timepass...

Full timepass... Chatted with lot of friends... Read Novel "Shantaram"... watched TV... Made halwa in the evening... In all a great day...

Everything is settled...

I have moved from Andheri to Hiranandani Gardens, Powai... For last one week I was not properly settled, Also I was having problem in adjusting to the new surroundings along with prolonged commuting to office. But this weekend means today I got everything settled. All the baggages have been unpacked and restored at their proper positions. All unwanted things moved inside.

Also we got cook for the weekdays dinner and both time meals on weekends :-)

I am loving it...

Time To Relax...

After a long time, it was the day full of relax (although some intruders tried to make it hell ;-) but who cares... ). Went home early, nothing to do so played Fifa 2006 on my laptop for around 3 hours, Made France World champion by beating Brazil 3-0 in semis and Spain 4-1 in Finals :-)

Enjoyed it a lot :-)...

Magic Fortune...

Have been extremely busy in office now-a-days... Not getting enough time to think and put down thoughts... So here are some my Facebook Magic Fortunes.. Most of them are coming correct, If not I am trying to make so ;-)

"When in doubt, let your instincts guide you."

"A challenge will bring forth your finest abilities."

"You will spend the rest of your life with the man (or woman) of your dreams."

"You will touch the hearts of many." 

"Merge your spirit life and your work." 

"Your co-workers take pleasure in your great sense of creativity"

"A gift you make will bring great pleasure to others."

"Your conscience will guide you in making a big decision."

Home Again...

After 8 days of living alone in the house, my room-mates came back yesterday from their long vacations. Although I liked the solitude in those days, I had freedom to do things as I wanted but last night when we got together we had delicious homemade snacks, ordered food from outside, had long chat sessions, discussed about different things and watched movie "Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local" :-).. In all it felt great like Home Again...

PS: Was unable to update blog because of internet problem... Updating it as the blog for 4th Jan, 2010...

Movie Run..

It has been the best possible solution for spending my time while enjoying it too... In last 3 days I have watched 4 movies. Due to recent frequent visits here and there movies were on hold for me.. So completed the backlog in this long weekend.. Movies included Rocket Singh, 3 Idiots, Avatar and Gulal... No idea if I will go for something else tomorrow too ;-)

Go Stevie Go...

Steven Gerrard, The Heart In Liverpool. Gerrard Is A Legend For All Football Suporters, The captain of Reds. Get well soon Stevie, Red Brigade needs you...

3 Idiots...

So finally the official trailer for 3 idiots has been released, It is one of the most awaited movies of this year. The buzz created by the movie being associated with the FPS is gonna raise the expectations a lot. I hope it does not crash down on BO as others, Have a look at the trailer...

Meri Hasi..

Ham to unme se hai jo aapki har bat par has de ..
Aap kuch bolo to has de..
Aap haso to sath dene k liye has de..
Na haso to aapko hasane k liye has de..
Sath chalo to apni kismat par has de..
Door raho to dard chhupane k liye has de..
Aur is hasi hasi k khel me...
Dusro ko behlaane main has de...
