Yeh Dil mage more


I often hum one of my favorite childhood jingles ‘I have got money, penny everything, but I ,,,,,,,,,,,;
Yes I am not happy with the life the way it is neither a single person who are around me
Why….?
I don’t know May be Life is a big bottle of Pepsi…
‘Yeh Dil mage more '

Insomnia:



When night comes & everyone (I think) asleep.
Something creeps into me
I toss up restlessly in my bed.
Through the grasshoppers sound
Till dawn
With out reason, provocation or anticipation
Waiting for the soft embalmer
I know John situation you too had gone through.

Raga’s of Mind



News that I read in paper quite moved me.
Its about 'Kumar Gandarva’s son traced begging in street'.
I got to know
He is a celebrated vocalist himself.
His kid is also a upcoming Hindustani classical singer
Some says for booze
Some says he is not mentally stable!

Of movies and life






I remember John Travolta in ‘A love song for Bobby Long’. He played a one-time University professor of literature Bobby Long and his former teaching assistant, a struggling writer (Gabriel Macht), living illegally in a dilapidated faraway country house. Both men are heavy drinkers who while away their days smoking numerous cigarettes, quoting Dylan Thomas, Benjamin Franklin, and T.S. Eliot, playing chess, and spending time with the neighbors while Bobby strums a guitar and sings melancholy country-folk songs .They were heavy reader though They do nothing,
BOOKS books books! Is it everything? Asked an eighteen year old girl heroine Scarlett Johansson.


In the movie ‘Almost Famous’ An upcoming teen age Rock journalist (Patrick Fugit) is, A ferocious Rock critic (Philip Seymour Hoffman, And a Rock star (Jason Lee) ask themselves ‘real music’ Real music’ ‘Real Music’ what actually is real music. While trying to achieve real music all are lost in the whirlwind of life.
Many times I ask myself the same thing.
Movies', 'books', & the 'meaningless fundas' which don’t have any meaning
And the answers suffer the same fate as in the movie.
And reconcile with my lot.

‘Yeh Jina Bhi koi jina hain’?

I am not happy with life
So you are
We are in the same boat brother (& sister)
And we often yell ‘Yeh Jina Bhi koi jina hain’?
That’s the problem with us .
We are not happy with our present stat of mind and we don’t know what we actually want.
So we sing karaoke to this famous Amitabh song.
Even though we know ‘ the concept of utopia of peace and happiness is pathetically comic even in comic books’

Beberibang



I am
Sad
Angry,
Restless,
Frustrated,
Petrified


About things I can’t change (not even myself)
Wanted to be uncompromising
But can’t stop the inevitable
(i.e. my reconciliations with reality)
May that’s why I am w
hat I am
Not what I used to be.

“Village of Service”


Last week I visited a village in eastern Maharashtra state,originally called Segaon, the village was given its present name Sevagram by Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1936 here he founded another ashram and directed the independence movement of india.Within this he created a model community that still flourishes, in which the inhabitants still lives a simple & progressive existence.
It was a lovely experience to feel the spirit that still lingers.
