Dream we shall never see again

Streets we have never walked on
Windows we have never opened
Hands we have never held
Dreams we shall never ..never see again

Lives we have never lived
Hopes ..we have never realized
Fires we have never lit
Loves we shall never .. never make again

Favorite Songs

It is extremely difficult to answer when someone asks "What ia your favorite song?". After all, how can you zero down upon a single song from a list of zillions of songs. I feel what you listen depends upon your mood. While driving you may like to hear a peppy song. You may like to listen a ghazal with a scotch in hand. And so, you may have a favorite for each mood or situation.

Last evening, we played a game in which everyone had to list the 'Top 10 Favorite Songs'. Of course it was based on the top of the mind recall. Following was my list (in no particular order);

- Hamaari adhuri kahaani (Hamaari adhuri kahaani)
- Mera kucch samaan (Ijaazat)
- Ae zindagi gale laga le (Sadma)
- Guncha koi (Main, Meri Patni aur Woh)
- Maeri (Euphoria)
- Aaj din chadheya (Love Aaj Kal)
- Tumko dekha to (Saath Saath)
- Yaara seeli seeli (Lekin)
- Iktaara (Wake Up Sid)
- Ae dil-e-nadaan (Razia Sultan)

Relationship Goals

"Babu Moshai....Zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi". This is a dialogue from the movie Anand. It has such a deep and special message, which is true even for relationships.

It does not matter what is the duration of the relationship. There are people who remain in a relationship for years yet they feel disconnected. And then there are some relationships that do not last long but remain special.

So make the relationships special. Do not celebrate anniversaries....celebrate each day, each moment.

Strangest Loo Ever!!

Why do I read only e-papers?

Out of all the things that I hate, number 2 spot would go to the bizarre page that Times of India newspaper adds 'on top of the front page'. Sounds strange, isn't it? Exactly my point. It is like a small side page which is equal in length of the other pages but is only ~30% of the width of the other pages. To read it, one either needs to staple the pages or spread it on a table. Now, that is not how newspapers are supposed to be read. I read the newspaper on the thinking pot - I think a lot of people do that. It is impossible to hold the newspaper properly and read it. I simply hate it.

And number one spot goes to the fliers in the newspapers. As soon as you make yourself comfortable on the thinking pot and open the newspaper, the flyers drop down and land at different places in the loo. And for some strange reason, they never land at a dry place!!! Every time this happens, I read the name of the advertiser on the flyer and make a mental note to never use their product/service. These flyers kill the fun of having a relaxed and enjoyable poop-time.
