Rock On!

Sindbad The Sailor Ek Jahaaz Mein Jab Chala …Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Doondh Raha Tha Ek Naye Duniya Ka Pata …Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..

Woh Anjaane Raahon Mein Tha, Woh Lehron Ki Baahon Mein Tha
Sab Ne Kaha Tha In Samandaron Mein Jaana Nahin
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Khwaabon Ke Peeche Jaake Kuch Bhi Hai Paana Nahin
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..

Woh Apni Hi Dhun Mein Raha, Woh Suntata Dil Ka Kahaan
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor…

Us Ka Jahaaz Gira Tufano Mein,
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Phir Bhi Na Aayi Aandhi Us Ke Armaano Mein
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Woh Deewana Aisa Hi Tha Ooo..Woh Sapno Ka Humrahi Tha Ooo..
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor…

Woh Kuch Paane Ki Chaah Mein, Woh Badta Rahan Raahon Mein
Gehra Samundar Tha Oonchi Oonchi Lehren
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Kasthi Acchi Acchi Bhi Mushkil Se Tehre
Mere Yaar Sunlo Sunlo…..
Woh Saahil Pe Gaa Hi Gaya Oooo, Woh Mazil Ko Paa Hi Gaya Oooo
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor
Us Ke The Jo Sapne Wohin Us Ke The Apne, Aisa Tha Sindbad The Sailor….Sailor…

Tum Ho To Gaata Hai Dil , Tum Nahin To Geet Kahan,
Tum Ho To Hai Sab Haasil, Tum Nahin To Kya Hai Yahan
Tum Ho To Hai Sapno Ke Jaisa Haseen Ek Sama
Jo Tum Ho To Yeh Lagta Hai Ke Mil Gayi Har Khushi
Jo Tum Na Ho Yeh Lagta Hai Ke Har Khushi Mein Hai Kami
Tumko Hai Maangti Yeh Zindagi…..

Ooooooooo..Ooooooo….Ooooooo

I've been listening to this song continuously for the better part of 3 days! :) Such AMAZING energy! Seen the movie twice already - third time is inevitable cuz haven't seen it with the complete family yet...MUST watch!

Connexions

I've been spending time with different sets of friends in the recent past...it's nice to meet and spend time with people you with whom you haven't spent too much time in the recent past...or for a while for that matter...

Some've them i've really connected with in certain situations and scenarios...and then at other times - in an everyday scenario...that 'connection' seemed to be missing...isn't there.

That's what happens when you 'play safe'.

I had a tarot card reading yesterday...and the first thing that lady said was that i should control my temper and anger....then she said that i have some 'good times' coming up...and then said that there might be a 'certain someone' i'll meet in due course...and that i just need to be open to it...

Be open...

I watched 'bachna ae haseeno' for the second time a few days back...it's not a half bad movie :P...maybe i could've stopped at watching it once...i think it actually picks up only after the first half hour...so i didn't miss much in missing the first half hour the first time i saw it!

...has some lovely music...

Connections are like fishing rods. You're always trying to net something or waiting for that perfect 'catch'...but that catch usually takes a while to come by...and you need to do it in the right context and frame of mind...or it'll happen in the right context and frame of mind...much of which you create yourself...

Escapism is a bad habit...

What's the point in ruing a missed connection...it might as well be a fishing rod you forgot somewhere...

It used to be so much simpler..when we weren't creatures of need.

About Friends

A heightened state of awareness. I wrote about this many months ago.

I just watched 'Great Expectations' for the first time. And now it's one've my favourite movies to watch. It seemed so ....real. The story was a contemporary fairytale - but the emotion with which was expressed was more real than some real people care to feel.

Over the last few weeks, i've been left pondering about who my friends are. There are some i feel a sense of 'competition' with. Other who insist on taking potshots at my expense. Yet others with whom it's unpredictable. Am i being overtly judgemental? Or are my relationships with people i've known for some time now...evolving?

Sometimes as a result of evolution, things better. Other times, they don't - they just move into a different direction. And people grow apart. With two of my friends, i feel that happening. Maybe i am judgemental. Is this also part of 'growing up'?

"Choosing" - ?

Making selfish choices. Friends that contribute to my growth - and so i choose to contribute to theirs. "Matlabi Duniya". "A dog eat dog world".

* SNAP *

...and ties break. Am i being overdramatic? Maybe...My problem is that i'm too nice, and people take advantage of that. No - i let them. I smile and laugh it off. Under the pretext of, "I'm not like this - how can they be? How can people be like this?"

People are the way they are. If certain choices have to be made - they have to be made. Life goes on.

Over estimating friendships can be a dangerous thing. Something i wouldn't advise. Have i over-estimated some? I'll know soon.
