Vaadey bhi kya khoob nibhaaye...

Vaadey bhi sanam ne kya khoob nibhaaye,
Dard muft mein, zakhm tohfey mein bhijvaaye..
Iss se badh kar kya hogi wafaa ki misaal,
Maut se pehle hi wo kafan le aaye...

Nostalgiaaa...

Our college main building, the bride! ... 80+ and still SEXY!!
[Since the British rule]




Library, the karma bhoomi!... was supposed to be a place for studying.. yeah I used to study 'Femina' religiously ;-) ... Managed to pass just coz of this monument, and obviously my friends ;-)




The then top notch Mavaalis in today's top notch companies!... We might look decent but looks can be deceiving ;-)
[Republic day parade... all that pain in chilling weather?... I still can't believe I made it, that too early in the morning... No point telling where I am]




Now that's called HOLI! [Well, me in full white with RED face... STOP LAUGHING, will you??..]




Then... [Yeah, that was me only... digest it with a Hajmola]




And now :-)

You can't..

You can't buy love... but... you pay heavily for it.

Too late...

Too naive to say I'm sorry
Too stubborn to be wrong
I'm so tired of lying
And pretending to be strong

Too confused to say I love you
Too late to wonder why
So worried that you'll leave
It's too soon to say goodbye

A simple thought, a vision
of you walking out that door
Shattered smile
Transparent tears
That I've never seen before

Step by step I'm breaking down
As you slowly disappear
Too traumatized to follow
and say three words you long to hear

The room is now so silent
except for tears that hit the floor
You expected so much love from me
Sorry I couldn't give you more

Looking out the window
For one last glimpse before we're through
Whispered those words with a tear filled voice...
It's too late, but..
I love you

Tere naam se...

Jab bhi tere bina raat hoti hai,
Deewaron se aksar baat hoti hai..
Sannata poochhta hai sawaal humse,
Tere naam se hi shuruwaat hoti hai...

Aapke kaam aa jaye...

Kaun jane kab maut ka paigaam aa jaye,
Zindagi ki akhari shaam aa jaye,
Hum toh dhundhte hain waqt aisa jab,
Hamari zindagi aapke kaam aa jaye...

Hosh nahin aaya hai...

kisi ki mohabbat se humne kya paya hai,
raat ki neend or din ka chain ganwaya hai..
kya karien hum is dil ka,
jise aaj toot kar bhi hosh nahi aaya hai...

Ek roz...

Ek roz kuchh aisa hua
Dard ka kaafila nikla aur yaadein aatin rahin...
Din dhalney ka ilm na hua
Hum baithe rahey akele aur lehrein aatin rahin...
[The picture is a beautiful beach at Mangalore]

Tum kyon chale aatey ho...

Ekbaar hamara aansun hamse poochh baitha "Humein roz roz kyun bulaate ho?" Hum ne kaha, "Hum yaad to unhin ko karte hain, tum kyun chale ate ho??"

Tujhse mile ik zamana hua...

Tujhse mile ik zamana hua,
Maikhane jane ka bahana hua..

Jaam jab saaki ne pilaya apne haathon se,
ek muddat ke baad mera hosh mein aana hua..

Sheeshe mein dekha,ik ajnabi tha saamne,
tere ishq mein kaisa main khud se begaana hua..

Zikr fir tera aaya,jab chala daur-e-jaam,
lutna fir shuru mere ashqon ka khazana hua..

Socha teri yaad ko pi jaaoon jaam mein ghol kar,
yaadein aati rahin magar band maikhana hua..

Girte lad-khadate ja pahuncha tere darwaaze tak,
jo purane zakhmon ne di duhai, na fir mujhse khat-khata-ana hua...

Ishq wo dariya hai...

ishq wo dariya hai jiska sahil nahi hota
har dil pyar ke kabil nahi hota
rota wo bhi hai jo duba ishq ke sagar mein
aur wo bhi jise ishq hasil nahi hota...

Itna pyaar kyon hai...

Ek ajnabi se mujhe itna pyaar kyon hai,
Inkar karne par bhi chaahat ka ikraar kyon hai,
Use paana nahin meri taqdeer mein
Phir bhi har mod pe usi ka intezaar kyon hai...

1. You are 'woman' handled with punches/pinches if you do annnything
2. You are 'woman' handled with punches/pinches even if you DON'T do anything [Yeah buddy, there's no escape. Get used to it. Sooner the better]
3. She helps you out with a glass of cold milk (even sugar churned by means of Mixy.. heights of lazyness) with which you could have done wonders otherwise, even if you are a guy [Though what I had, turned out to be reeeal good ;)]
4. You look dumb [No matter what you wear]
5. You are an Idiot [...for no apparent reason and just coz she said. Better agree to it or get ready for points 1 and 2 stated above... If by now you are used to it then no probs :)...(I learnt to live with it the very first day:)]
6. All conversations start with "You better..." and end with "Thanks but no thanks" [..Well thats self explanatory..]
7. (Keeping in view above stated points and you considering improvement [according to her] as an option) Instead of asking her whats weird/wrong in you, rather ask what's good/ok in you [It would be over with just one word.."NOTHING"... This helps save time and energy at both ends]
8. She loves coffee but hates chocolate [...particularly in icecreams..]
9. She hates you as well [.. No comments..]
10. She thinks she is much smarter than you [because she IS..]

...kyon hoti hai?..

Yeh raat itni tanha kyun hoti hai,
Kismat se apni sabko shikaayat kyun hoti hai,
Jise hum pah nahi sakte,
Usi se mohabbat kyun hoti hai?...

Nakaam si koshish...

Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain
Hum hain ki unse pyar kiya karte hain
Khuda ne takdir me ek tuta taara nahi likha,
Aur hum hain ki chaand ki aarzu kiya karte hain...

Bahut shor...

Bahut shor suntey they pehlu mein dil ka
Jo kaata, to katra khoo'n na nikla...

Aaj...

Aaj dekha wo chehra jaana pehchaana..
Khwaabon mein tha jiska aana jaana..
Door se hi wo salam kar gaye..
Dhadkanein humaari benaam kar gaye...

Badi muddat se...

Badi muddat se chaaha tha tujhe..
Baad duaon ke, paaya tha tujhe..
Tujhe bhulaane ki sochun bhi to kaise,
Kismat ki lakiron se churaaya the tujhe...
