Another Mortal Life

Well, the tag is Back!! Woaah :D

1. "Come on, say it"
Keh doon tumhe ya chup rahoon
-Dil mein mere aaj kya hai..

2. "Oh my god! I've lost my laundry bill!"
Mere hostel ki washing machine
mein kapde daalna is a tricky thing
It's much like investment banking
Pichhle saat dino mein maine
do shirts, ek T-shirt khoya
Phir Lenin ki jai boli aur
Haatho se kapdon ko dhoya.

3. "n bomb blasts rocked city-X today"
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we're trying to fight it

4. "Vibhavsingh"
Na ye Frost na Forster na kisi Parkati ka love
Ye to hai yaaron apna seedha saada Vibhav
:P

5. "Relax"
Fatela jeb sil jaayega
Jo chahega mil jaayega..

6. "Hope is a good thing.. maybe the best of things ... blah blah"
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

7. "The tiny-whiny corner of your heart"
'Dil ki khata bhi hai kya
Mujhko pata bhi hai kya..'

'Dil ki yahi khata hai
Dil ko nahi pata hai..'

8. "It happened to me.."
Well, she was just seventeen
-You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
... well, my heart went boom
when I crossed that room..

9. "Missing you"
Why'd she have to go..
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday..

10. "Together always ... in ups and downs"
Yun hi kat jayega safar saath chalne se
ke manzil aayegi nazar saath chalne se.

I’ve just gulped 400 ml of a cold drink, and I’m the subject of the experiment of the night: Whether a cold drink can cure a mild cold. A friend has often argued it does. Now, whatever be the result of the experiment, I don’t lose anything. If it cures, thank you dear Mr. Gh; if it doesn’t, I get to really love my voice for some days, after such a long time!

Until a while back I used to think of myself as some weird eccentric individual. Maybe, I was. These days I think I can reason my actions better. The intense guilt feeling that often used to get to me after every little misdemeanor has ceased to frequent my brain that often. What is more likely is that I have chosen to go for better-thought-out actions. Still, I’ve this feeling that my actions wrt to people have never been as absurd as I thought they were, excepting a few.

***

By now, you know I don’t have much to write about these days. My college life is, kind of, over. The little crushes I used to devote a poem or two to, are, kind of, over. A job I, kind of, already have.

In short, I’m a young man in the first half of his twenties, who has got a life that has become, suddenly, freaking dull.

And I liked ‘Rock on’.

***

Bollywood movies have suddenly started to impress me. After Summer 2007 and Jaane tu earlier this summer, now we’ve Mumbai Meri Jaan, Rock On, and A Wednesday. While the old chaps from the old production houses continue to dish out the same old crap, these low budget movies are a breeze of fresh air.

And the producer-director-actor-singer Farhan Akhtar is the best thing that happened to Indian Film industry in a long time.

***

It’s half an hour since I had the cold drink, and to my great surprise, I’m feeling better. But how do I make my voice husky now? There must be a way.

***

Female friends, no matter how good friends I think they are with me, I shouldn’t treat them like my guy friends. At the end of the day, they’ve got a brain that functions differently.

Now this thing, that they’ve got a brain that functions differently, is something that we take due care of while talking to women we’re interested in, in that way. Why do I forget it with friends then?

In future, I’ll keep it in mind.

It’s strange when you’ve strangers asking you, “Vikram ka room kaunsa hai?” or “Have you seen Vikram today?” Oh. It’s strange only when your own name is Vikram too. Pardon my silliness. Speaking of which, you know how silly I am? You’ll have an idea if I tell you I consider the following lines a good, silly, joke:

..

Person 1: “How do you justify your silly jokes?”

Person 2: “By proper spaces and margins.”

..

Anyway, I’m gonna put a sticker on the door of my room with my Full name written on it. Maybe, I should write the other guy’s room number too. With an arrow.

***

One thing that makes me really dislike a person is his inability to recognize that the joke he just told was a poor one. And I’ve known only one person in my life so far who fails to recognize this, goes on further to explain the joke, and might even ask you to find it funny.

Really, PJs are not such a bad thing in themselves. (I just delivered one of my own a couple of paragraphs above.) But please don't explain them or ask me whether I found them funny! You may just ask something like, 'Ain't that a good PJ?' I think I should be able to find a mutually satisfying answer to such a question.

This reminds me of another thing, but I guess it’s enough for today.

Good night!

"You know what.. Actions that make you feel you're more man seldom make you feel you're a better man."- said my Chemistry teacher once. He must have loved all those art movies where men with wrinkled faces and not much of life left in them used to try to talk some sense into younger generations. That one sentence, however, had an impact on me. I mean, how many teachers you happen to meet in life who give you interesting philosophical lines when you infuriate them! (Believe me, I started devising ways to make him say such lines more often! :P)

Hope you're doing good, sir!
