Zindagi hai dhuan to kya
Bujh gayi har subah to kya
Rootha mujhse khuda to kya
Ho gaye hum juda to kya
Faasle they hazaaron darmiyan,
Waqt ke they hazaaron imtehaan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan,
Tere honthon ke kisi kone mein,
Hansi ke tarah, main mehfuz hoon
Teri aankhon ke chipe dard mein
Aansoo ki tarah, main mehfuz hoon
Bewajah har wajah to kya
Begunahii hai gunaah to kya
Beasar hai dua to kya
Ho gaye hum juda to kya
Raaz gehre hazaron bepanah
Lafz thahare hazaaron bejubaan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan
Tere honthe ke kisi kone mein
Hansi ki tarah, main mehfuz hoon
Tere gesu ke ude pannon mein
Yaadon ki tarah, main mehfuz hoon
Teri aankhon mein
Mehfuz hoon
Teri yaadon mein
Mehfuz hoon
Teri baaton mein
Mehfuz hoon
Tere baalon mein
Mehfuz hoon
Faasle the hazaron darmiyaan
Waqt ki thi hazaron aandhiyan
Fir bhi ban ke nishaan
Tere honthon ke kisi kone mein
Hansi ke tarah, main mehfuz hoon
Tere kaandhe ke chipe til mein
Vaadon ki tarah, main mehfuz hoon
-
Lyrics for "Mehfuz" from "Mehfuz (Euphoria) – Too little, too late"

A moment


A moment. That is all that it takes. For you to realize your future. No matter how much you are thinking about it before or after that moment, no matter how much you contemplate. It’s always just that one moment. Isn’t this a scary concept? I mean here you are thinking for hours on end, weighing pros and cons. More than the decision you dedicate your effort to the thought process. And then after days, hours, ages of thought you figure out your answer, only for someone to come and tell you that it was just one moment in between those minutes or hours that your choice was made. The point is you never realize that one moment. You always think you thought about it and made an informed decision. Blah. You just decided. Yea, I guess all the thinking and the lists and the discussions do add up to something. But then the choice is made in an instance. I believe there is not exactly a lot of ‘thinking’ or rather ‘contemplating’, its just there. Almost born out of thin air, you have a decision. I don’t know if this is good or bad. But I know its there. That one moment when you decide to change your life. A moment.

A Walk to Remember



I saw A Walk to Remember last night.


It is one of the most cliched movies ever. The dialogues, the scenes, the story...... :)


But I like the movie, I like watching it :)


I kinda like the songs in the movie too. Now this song I dont recall from when I saw the movie first time. Later another friend had given me the song and I had gotten to like it....... Yesterday I saw the movie and realised the song is there in the movie too.....


It is the song that plays when He realises She is suffering from cancer and he drives to his Dad's place to ask for help (Dad's a doc and he has not spoken to his dad for months)....


The movie is about two very young people and their love. I love the guy for all what he does for his gal. For the love, the care, the concern, the commitment.


Anyways, the song I was speaking about.... given below....


"I Dare You To Move"


Welcome to the planet


Welcome to existence


Everyone's hereEveryone's here


Everybody's watching you now


Everybody waits for you now


What happens next?


[Chorus:]I dare you to moveI dare you to move


I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor


I dare you to moveI dare you to move


Like today never happenedToday never happened before


Welcome to the fallout


Welcome to resistance


The tension is here


Between who you are and who you could be


Between how it is and how it should be


[Chorus]


Maybe redemption has stories to tell


maybe forgiveness is right where you fell


Where can you run to escape from yourself?


Where you gonna go?Where you gonna go?


Salvation is here

Was listening to it when I started typing the post.... :)

Saw Race yesterday.

Ok. I had actually decided I would not write what I thought about this movie. But then I read two not-so-good reviews and I decided, what the heck I might as well write something down. No, I am not saying I am going to write a Great review....par if there can be soo many silly one's out there...why not one more?!

So I enter the movie hall a few minutes late. Which is normal. I have surprised myself and friends only once or twice by actually being on time for a movie! : P

Haan, so I enter the movie hall and sit down to watch the “Thriller”. And what a thriller it is. You get soo hit by each twist, each new revelation that you are actually on the floor and/or moving violently. Oh, the laughter is just an add-on. I did open my mouth and go ‘Ho!’ at most of the tense I-didn’t-expect-this moments. Just that the ‘Ho’ was followed by something like ‘HeHaaaaa’ (read together it is ‘Hoheeehaaaahaaahaaaaa’): D

So I had fun at the movies. I wished I had seen it with the gang; the pathetic plot could have been made fun of in a much-more effective and innovative way. The double-meanings could also have been enjoyed with some more add-on’s. Sigh! Never mind.

So now getting down to business. Let’s go step-by-step.

Story- Absent.
Screenplay- What? How dare you ask for something that silly?
Editing- Scissors must have been used.
A whole lot of other technical stuff (Cinematography, Camera, the works) - They decided not to do anything as other important components were not there. Like the story.
Music- Decent enough if you like bollywood stuff.
Acting-Unh?
Direction- Great!!!!!!!!! Seriously he has to be a great man who can take the above components and make a “Movie” out of it!

So anything I liked about the movie? Loads of stuff.
Some of the songs.
Katrina’s costumes. The skirts and the shirts were very cute.
The accessories on all the leading actors. The glares were super-cool.
The shoes!!!!
And the Cars!!!!! The movie has all of them driving the most awesome, super-cute, little/big angelic cars………. You could ‘almost’ watch it just for the cars.

Best Moments:
All the time Saif Ali Khan becomes alive again!

Why should you watch it?
Because it would be an enriching educational experience. :D :P

And for the guys, the three leading ladies won’t disappoint you. For d gals, Saif Ali Khan. And the Shoes!!

It is raining outside as I type this...... :)

I am not quite sure when my love for the Rain began....but its the strongest and longest love I have. I have got drenched, splashed with all the slush in the road, gotten to office in conditions suitable for mental asylum, not reached appointments, fallen, cancelled things....all because of the rain. But I have still loved every moment of it.

It is a difficult to explain the feeling. But the rain calms me down. Makes me smile. No matter what is happening around me. No matter what thoughts are running through my head. I just love the rain. I could sit and watch it for hours. I could walk in the rain for long. I could try to write about it over and over again only to fail miserably.

I love the thunder and lightning too. There is a beauty to lightning that is quite uncomparable. A beauty whihc you can just watch and smile about. A thrill which you can only feel. An element of surprise, a sadness, a power. Its all that and more. As I said, its something one experiences, feels :)

Once more I try and fail to write what I feel.

This are two posts I have attempted in relation to the rains which I like..... So I am mentioning them again here........ :)

To the only thing that can make me smile in an instant........ To my one true love.......

Rain 1

Rain 2
