Life And Death; beginning of the EnD!!
Monday, March 2, 2009
The last announcement has been made.
Catching my breath I look down at my watch..
And It's Time!
I gaze eagerly in the direction from where The Train is suppose to come.
I realise I forgot To put on my specs.. I Try to look harder.
The Track is all empty!
In fact all The Tracks are same.. no Trains!
A sudden stone of Thought hits me at the back of my mind..
Am I all alone?! where is the rest of The world?!
I curse The sky..
It starts raining!
And I begin to walk...

A Violinist In The Metro
During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again.
Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy.His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist.Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time.This action was repeated by several other children.All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while.About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace.He collected $32.When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written; with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston and the average ticket was $100.
This is a real story.
Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people.The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour:

I made up this entry in seven 'shers'!!
What are the odds haan?
:)
1.Teri galiyon ke humne kitne he chakkar kaate..
(waah waah.. waah waah!)
Teri galiyon ke humne kitne he chakkar kaate..
(waah waah.. waah waah!)
tera darwaaza khat khataane ki himmat nahi hoti....
(-I know, me is such a darr-pok shayar)
2.Tere nashe mein hum din raat madhosh hain..
(waah kya baat hai..)
Tere nashe mein hum din raat madhosh hain..
(waah waah..)
Kambakhat wo nasha he kya jo subah hote he utar jaye....
(-It has been suggested to kindly stress on Kambakhat.. it works wonders!)
3.Dil he dil mein bas gayi hai tu..
( kya arz kiya hai.. dil he dil mein.)
Dil he dil mein bas gayi hai tu..
(waah waah.. qayamat)
ab dil nahin tu dhadakti hai yahan....
(-ok, I owe an explanation to all the heart surgeons on this one)
4.Tujhe he yaad, tujh se he baatein karta hun har dum..
(waah.. aag laga di..)
Tujhe he yaad, tujh se he baatein karta hun har dum..
(irshaad irshaad..)
teri yaadon mein, tujh se he milta hun har dum....
5.Tere aane ke maine kitne he bahaane soche..
(kya baat hai.. waah.. tere aane ke..)
Tere aane ke maine kitne he bahaane soche..
(maar he daaloge..)
aye 'zaalim' kisi roz na jaane ke bahaane aa
(love that emphatic zaalim.. such a killer it is)
6.Teri awaaz, tere didaar ko, tujh se milne ko taras jaata hun
yeh zindagi he kya jisme tu he nahi
Aur fir mar ke bhi kya jo tu na mili
Teri awaaz, tere didaar ko, tujh se milne ko taras jaata hun
7.Kya din the wo jab hum din raat baatein kiya karte the
hanste the, gaate the, roz milne ke bahaane banaya karte the
kash woh waqt vahin ruk jaata
aur mein jo tum se kabhi na keh paaya, keh paata
ki meri har saans har dhadkan mein bas tum aur sirf tum ho
tum ho ab meri zindagi, zindagi bhar tak
marte dum tak..
aur uske baad bhi....

A Dream. . A Dream for YOU!
I close my eyes and all I can see is you
Without even making the least of attempts
to figure out where am I or who are you? ?
I have a feeling… rather I know for sure
that it’s no one else but you and only you
I am so much filled inside that I can’t
I can’t even think of anything else but you
So much so that eyes open or closed
make no difference too
You’re so intoxicating.. need no vodka.. no whisky.. no rum
nope not even a bloody chewing gum (K3G :P)
All I need is a pinch of you and that’ll more than do
You drive me high on an empty bottle
yeah yeah on the rocks obviously to say the few
I don’t know what exactly drives my heart, . my soul,.. myself to you
I guess it’s your eyes, those mysterious black eyes
I tried to look into them but … but could not dare to look longer
because of the fear of being bewitched by them
bewitched I am by the charm of your slender beauty
you look as beautiful as the winter morning
When there is chill in the air but at the same time the warmth of the sun
I want to touch you.. feel the warmth of your beauty..
I want to keep listening to your sweet soft voice
that are like the rivulets echoing in the air
like the melody of the heart broken lover
your voice creates these ripples in the quite ocean of my heart
It’s so enchanting.. mesmerizing.. so magical
and finally you smile.. aah.. it takes my breath away..
its like I don’t need the air anymore.. don’t need anything to live
but that eternally beautiful smile that gets engraved deep inside me
come to me o come to me for the sake of my life, take everything away but come to me
In this dream it’s just you and me and this darkness of doubt..
Only you can give me light.. the light of life..
I know it’s tough but even the sun rises after a long slumber night
you make me forget everything and even as you begin to fade away
and I start waking up and u seem to leave
all I’m left with is you
I know it’s just a dream
but if only dreams could come true
I would do anything to close my eyes
and Dream a Dream for You!
