Shikwah hai ik taraf to, ke koi samajhta nahi mujhe..
Aur ik taraf hai khauf ke koi samajh na jaaye.
Kashamkash-e-zindagi se yuun pyar ho chala hai..
Darta hoon uljhanein meri sulajh na jaayein.

seventh/ eighth standard. she was this cute little girl. cute b’coz she was little, quite, fragile type. tough talker. good student. she had two hand writings. type 1 : exam hand writing. badi badi, with adequate space between letters and words. type 2 : everyday notebook hand writing. cursive, sophisticated. she was of the type who would remind in tiffin breaks about sanskrit tests and during class prompt right answers too. her name kind of sounded pretty too. she was of the type who would use ‘hum’  instead of ‘mai’. basically almost a crush type thing, but then that was time i hadn’t grown to notice the female gender. (of course the regular english literature teacher with yellow saree and super duper gussa is an exception).  so why her now ?? basically after few orkut & google searches spread over past few years, finallly google tracked her for me to a matrimonial site. kind of happy and certainly thoda sa excited.

As director Shekhar Kapoor puts it, “Rahman does not believe music resides in him, but that he sources it from a field of consciousness that exists eternally. He believes that to access or to be able to reach that ‘field’ you need to be very pious. I believe as long as he continues to believe the music is not his, that he is merely the conduit, he will have no limitations.”

The search for piety — the complete purity that will keep him in touch with his music — has meant a kind of twin journey for Rahman. On the one hand, there has been an ever amplifying outward honing of craft, a restless search for new stimuli, a mastery of technology, a constant self-education, a perfecting of the conduit. Parallel to that has been an ever intensifying private inward journey towards submission and surrender to the will of God — a destruction of ego, an effacement of self.

One of the few things which i fail to comprehend.Its not the genius of the man. Its the submission, the  surrender,  a life devoted to passion, devoted to belief, devoted to truth. 

O Paalanhaare at times still brings tears. For me too, at certain levels its not the music alone, its the pious effort.  Delhi 6, too rocks.

Ind vs Pak, 1st March 2003 in South Africa. Approx. 200 boys shouting and chanting slogans in LT-1, JIIT Noida. Every shot by Sehwag and Sachin, every misfield, every wrong decision, every moment enjoyed. The day of MahaShivaRatri and joy of 200 JIITians.
Sachin proved that he is a monk, a poet and a warrior rolled into one. Obviously, India won. And yes, so did the 200 boys.
That BTW WAS an ideal cricket match, my friend

Amal Tiwari !!  This guy after a long time again got me to jaypee corridors, lecture theaters, mohabbatein & every other thing.  I had to look for Rubaroo ( RDB )  in my hard disk to live it for some time. i remember this match, for sure there were 200+ boys and yes there was this pretty girl too . there was sachin tendulkar and wasim akram’s first over, and sachin’s six over third man off shoaib akhtar. can anyone imagine 200 guys in one hall and an india pak  match ? teri maa ki.. iski behan ki ..oh my GOD, its like live inside my head.  the worst of medical complications for sure cant make me forget the day/night.

I here by take this opportunity to sincerely thank Amal Tiwari, for playing it again and yet again for me. Cheers !!

Two articles by two of the better journalists in India analyzing India’s attitude towards terrorism. Most of the people I know wont agree with them, but as far as I can imagine/comprehend, their view is probably the only way for India.

Sunil Gavaskar : The closest thing to batting perfection is Sachin Tendulkar, no question about that.
