just a fleeting thought..

जिंदगी यूं हुई बसर तन्हा,
काफिला साथ , पर सफ़र तन्हा ।।

दिन गुज़रता नही है लोगों में ,
रात होती नही बसर तन्हा ॥

These are some beautiful thoughts by Gulzar in Hindi that mean
Spent the life such that
There were people all around me but I was still alone somewhere.....

Hard to pass the day with so many people around....
Hard to pass the night alone.

I think that the beauty of poetry is that it can be interparated in more than one ways....
When you sit quietly next to the water all by yourself and lots of people around you- is not it what u 'think' in ur own heart?

Sorry just another crappy post..

where did the humour go?

Even I was thinking the same thing. Where did the humour vanish between my first post and this one?

Anyways while I tried hard to keep off from any crappy philosophy by not writing- today I found it hard to resist to write. Sorry another sad not.

When a child I read somewhere Nomad = No + Mad. Somehow this got registered in my mind somewhere and even the life started to reflect that.

Just when I thought am all settled in Seattle, I just let it go and am all set to take up 3 months retirement. Guess I will be able to do some travel this time when in India. Anyways I gave away the apartment and now for last 2-3 weeks am sacking at a friend's place. Life like this is kind of good. Change.

Talking of changes- when I look back the whole life so far feels like a book. People I met - People who left- Good days- Fun days- Bad days......all the situations make a chapter of their own. Was thinking one day- that one day I will die but this thought seems to be so 'abnormal'. Surprizingly arnd the same time I read this book in which an ailing man prepares for his last few weeks.

It was then I was thinking how much easier it is when you think that you life is made up chapters.What you have today will not be there tomorrow, people you have today may not be there tomorrow...so what you have is only today. Live this chapter completely , who knows if this is the last chapter...

hmmm heavy thoughts.... never mind if they dont make sense...I just had to tell it to someone so I scribbled.

By the way I am almost married to this song...being played in a repeat mode for last one week. Sometimes I wake up with this song running in my mind-

'Akhri Alvida Na Ho- by Strings'
