Today i got to hear that a friend of mine from Engineering passed away. She was one of the liveliest persons around. About a year back she met with a car accident and had gone into comma. After the initial trauma, she started recovering and responded to her name and music. We had assumed that it would take long but she would recover. But the fight ended yesterday...
It feels strange sitting thousand kms away and in the midst of this apparently busy schedule. You feel numb that a person whom you have seen so much for over 4 years is suddenly no more. It is like a bundle of dreams, ambitions and energy has been just nipped in the bud. Maybe things happen beyond for a good reason, just may be. This is the second news of death i have had to hear this Term, may it just end soon...

"Aaj hi to bas jaage hain;
kyunki kal to sirf ek khwab hai,
Jeena hai zindagi to aaj jee lo;
pyaar karna hai to aaj kar lo,
Aaj zindagi ruki hai tere liye;
Koi aaj ho tumhare raaho main,
Kya pata: Kal Ho Na Ho"
The friend that WAS.
I dream of jeannie
Ohh my Master!! Nearly every kid remembers the proverbial jeannie and her master from the teleseries. Some episodes of the teleseries brought back flooding memories.....
A jeannie of your own would be simply great. How would she be?? Blonde, petite and fair!! Naah... She did be Tall, dusky and not at all anorexic!! Well at least my jeannie would be that.
What would i ask? World peace, Israel-Palestine solution....Not a chance!!! Who would waste a jeannie on that :) Then what could one ask.. well money of course, a home on the edge of a mountain and sea, a car to die for and yeah a world trip with a babe..
But then what would be fun in it! If you get all the money how would you enjoy earning it, if you get your love just like that how would you go through heart breaks, atif aslam songs..and yeah the home would be a good thing considering the real estate prices esp in aamchi mumbai!
On second thoughts no jeannie would not be a good thing! It is not for nothing that we have aspirations, hear breaks, our downs and the effort to gather yourself and start walking again. That is the only thing worth living for!
Fell in love
I thought i could never live wihout the sea. However i have fallen in love with the night sky here. The demure Venus, golden moon and the hunter Orion. Smog-free skies and a plethora of stars. My hobby and solace over here! Sky Gazing club in Term 6 for sure..
