A New Day Has Come

Hey friends,

How are you all doing. hope you guys have been doing great. Well, Sundays are meant to be Fundays, as the old saying goes. but does this even hold any relevance in today’s world. People these days are preoccupied on Sundays even more that what they are on the weekdays. Generally, plans for a Sunday are fixed by Wednesday or if you are a really slow coach, latest by Thursday, and that is when the problem arises. You call up a friend asking him/her to meet up on Sunday for that awesome movie which you have been yearning to watch or for that gadgets you had been dying to get your hands on for the entire week after catching its glimpse in Living Digital or elsewhere. But either your friend has some other plans or the market especially earmarked for such goods is closed on a Sunday. What can be even more killing is the non availability of metros on certain routes which means a big dent in the pocket if you go out since autowallahs and radio taxis are the Bigg Boss on such days. there’s hardly anything we could do than to succumb to their fairly overcharged fare[i wonder y it is even called fare when it’s completely unfair on the pocket]. the next best thing on the agenda is sitting back in your apartment, writing blogs, socializing with long lost friends and kill time till it’s time for the next movie show at the nearby mall. As far as food is concerned, still waiting for my gas cylinder to arrive. till then, I'll have to stick to the rude food. biryani is a passé, as it goes, too much of anything is bad. the awesome chicken biryani by a nearby restaurant suddenly seems all bad. dying to get my hands on a cheese burst, but given my present medical conditions, i really doubt if i would be able to go ahead with one[God, Y dint u create cheese burst in personal size..]. So a supposedly funday is surely earmarked to be one of those gloomy days of my life when nothing seems to be going right. Just hoping that the rest of the day has something good in store for me. Adios Amigos… and make sure that at least you have a wonderful Sunday unlike mine..Smile

Yaad Hai Mujhe Woh...

Hey friends,

My next blog post was long due I suppose. It's almost been 4 months now in Delhi and the traffic jams, the long tiring night shifts are gradually becoming a part of my life. Musically, these four months have seen the dormant side of shashank which is really trying to get out of the shackles and compose something new. All these four months, I tried writing many things, but failed miserably since I really couldn't make out whether to write positive lyrics or negative lyrics after all the circumstances in my past just before I left Chandigarh. My mood has always played a very important role in whatever I write. So last night, in sheer frustration I just came up with a very old composition of mine, and tweaked it a bit. Here it is guys, for all of you to read:

YAAD

Yaad hai mujhe woh pal jab tu muskuraya tha,

Us pal ki wajah se tujhko dil me basaya tha,

Kya batau us pal ko main kitna yaad karta hoon,

Kabhi hans leta hu, kabhi ro hi leta hoon,

Woh dil me basake, mujhko apna banake, jhoote sapne dikha ke,

Tu gayi ab kahan...


 

Yaad hai mujhe woh pal jo tu mujhse milne aaya tha,

Haatho me lekar haath, apna mujhe bataya tha,

Kya batau us pal ko main kitna yaad karta hoon,

Kabhi tanha tanha hi, kabhi bheed me khota hoon,

Woh saath nibhaa ke, mujhse baatein bana ke, Pal me daaman chhuda ke,

Tu gayi ab kahan...


 

Yaad hai mujhe woh pal jab tune yeh bataya tha,

Hai saath yehi tak apna kehke mujhe rulaya tha,

Kya batau us pal ko main kitna yaad karta hoon,

Kabhi sapno mein jab main yaadein woh sanjota hoon,

Woh sapno me aake, harpal mujhko sata ke, sacchaai se muh fira ke,

Tu gayi ab kahan...


 

Gar tha yahi tak saath, toh kyu the fir haseen jazbaaat,

Keh dena tha mujhko jab haatho me liya tha haath..

Maaloom nahi tha, aise rang dikhayegi jindagi,

Jindagi jise mana , woh chod gayi mera saath...


 

Haan haan yaad hai mujhe woh pal..

Yaad hai mujhe woh pal..

Yaaad hai mujhe woh pal..

bas dua hai bhool paaoon main unhe...
