Another Mortal Life

Yesterday I undertook the biggest ever cleaning up of my room...

1) Found some 3 handkerchiefs, 2 undershirts, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pens, and much more. It saves me quite a few bucks you see!

2) Whoever told me the spider's web around the tube-light was shit is an ass. It was a real good mosquito trap. I was doing good without any all-out and blah for months, and today I had to buy a refill!

3) Dumped dozens of old notebooks glancing through the last few pages of each of them.
Here is what I was scribbling on the last page of a notebook after a prof lost his temper on the class and walked out..

Chaos prevails
Tragedy unravels
For the proxies unowned
Professor hails
everybody present as guilty.
Knowing none I
as a silent spectator see
the contest between
fear of fifty
and pride of one.

It's no poetry, I know, but reading it brought a certain time of college life alive. So it's good in some way.

4) Found this thing written on an old, little piece of paper..
"Why you, Arthur (Ashe), why you?"
"When I won Wimbledon, I didn't say "God, why me?".. so I shouldn't ask that about the bad things too."

And this song.. it made my day when I first heard it. It did the same again.."Kii poochde ho haal fakiraa.n da.... Asi nadiya vichhde neera.n da".

5) And there was this she'r I once wrote while traveling..
"Tere bas mein bhi yahaan kuchh nazar nahii aata
E khuda, tu to bas meri bebasi ka bahaana bhar hai"

And here is another addition to classroom compositions..
"On my silly jokes you laugh aloud
On the sillier ones too you smile
And your disgust on the silliest ones
You've always tried to hide.
Putting my ego aside now when I see
Must say, girl, you' been good to me."

Take my word- fuck computers, and make your notes with pen and paper. And don't go back to them too often.

And, HAPPY DIWALI!! :)

Jiya huun main kaise, poochh, tere bin in dino
-Tanhaai se jo mera rishta hai, hai zindagii.
Khuli zulfo.n pe teri fida kyun main ho baitha
-Hawaaon se jo mera shikwa hai, hai zindagii.
