...And, Love Lingers...!!!

So close.. And yet so far...
Everyday I long to hold you..
And wish to be in your arms..
..Sometimes to tell you my endless tales
and sometimes just to listen u say..
And there are days.. when I could do
Anything for just a glimpse of you..
And to peep into your eyes to find me there..
And love you as my only prayer..
At times when everything goes wrong and off beam
All I want is u near..
And sometimes I’m so scared of dreaming of u..
Coz with the dreams u disappear..

And then I hate these miles between..
And I hate that helpless me..
That makes me say..
So close, but yet so far are we...

But then you do your little things..
That blooms my inside again..
And every time my hopes go dry..
You shower your love as rains..

And then I know how hollow I’m
If you are not with me..
And then I meet love doing magic
This time not in a story..
With you I’ve found all
That in me was dead since ages..
I can’t express what u mean to me
Even in endless pages...

But when I close my eyes..
And think of you from heart...
I feel you right beside me,
No matter how far....
And so no matter how hard it gets
I want you to know..
That I’ll always hold on 
And never let u go..

For
No one has ever loved so
No love ever will be as pure..
But your love is so magical baby,
Though far apart, I find you..
As close as my soul... 

Lovepal Bill : For the Corrupt Dil :)

Asha Bhonsle & Parveen Babi sang it right -way back in 1982:-

Jawaani jaan-e-man haseen dilruba

Milein do dil jawaan nisaar ho gaya

Shikaari khud yahaan shikaar ho gaya

Yeh kya sitam huwa

Yeh kya zulam huwa

Yeh kya ghazab huwa

Yeh kaise kab huwa

Na jaanoon main na jaane woh, AAha…

(Repeat this AAha.. in your mind ; with a painful sound emerging from your very lower abdomen .

OK Let us practice – ‘AAha…’ )

The most primitive human instincts have been – competition and mind-romance. Hindi movies have complicated our lives because we want to play the characters. I see almost every guy somewhere enacting the dialogues / style / vibes of the trending actors (a Raj or a Rahul). Girls look more mired in Bollywood /Hollywood/ FB / TV trends than even guys. The situation has got more complicated with the ‘Communication Revolution’ bringing in ‘a splendid display of emotions’ possible. Some of the FB messages that I read recently were:- 

-          ‘Letters start with ‘abc’, numbers start with 123, music starts with ‘do re mi’ and love starts with you and me. ♥ ♥’

-          And she said “ you are crazy” and I said “just for you baby”

-          The day I met you was my favorite accident and even today I love those injuries. (self sadism)

-          I feel very lucky when I am with you. (Kyun Bhai- woh Lux cozi hai kya? Making you feel ‘Apna Luck pehan ke chalo!  :)  )

-          My love for you is like a rose with thorns. I hold you, knowing you will hurt me. But I am willing to bleed for you. (Haw Ji    )

People are living two lives – one on the FB ; and the other – whatever little remains from FB. I really don’t understand how people can love Facebook and Twitter so much. They will never love you back. DONT YOU GET IT!

Further – Email enabled mobile phones, Free SMS services , late night calling free (Get an Idea) , 3G and whatever G (you know what   ). Ladki wait karti hai kab gyaarah bajenge aur kab Night Calling free hogi aur kab JAANU mera number milaayenge..Gyaarah Bajte hain and the phone rings and the girl screams. “Hi jaaaaaaan!!! Love you Muaaah…AUR BATAAO”… Kuch baat hi nahi hai karne ko toh aur kya batayega bechaara. . When there’s nothing to talk, I have seen  couples talking about how many chappatis they ate today and compared the numbers with their ex!! His only hope remains that his Jaanu will one day learns from Deepika Padukone and says at least once –‘Seedhay Point pe aao naa’… And there can be nothing worse that a couple who loves to kiss on phone. You will get to listen to a variety of sounds; the weirdest being the sound of a hose pipe being sucked out of the tap. What ??? And why ?? Alexander Graham Bell must have been suffering a heart attack again and again even after dying – looking at the use; his fabulous invention is being put to.

Then those auspicious festivals and days – Rose day , Gobhi day – so many days. The girl and the boy meet at some place and click photos for FB… Angrez ki Aulaads! And the best part is after wasting all the time they then wait for the comments for which they refresh their homepage every 10 seconds. Some cool mutual friend Raghvan ‘cool biceps’ Malhotra will comment: Hey broda! Lukin cute mahn…sitin at CCD na? 6 people like this. !! All of it leads to we spending loads of energy -telling the world that I am a ‘Freak’ & a ‘Cool’ guy / girl? Such a waste of time, energy & your own electricity!

Hindi movies create a need that ‘every guy / girl is in a relationship and it will be so unfashionable if I am not into’. Everyone has a bf / gf– if I don’t have I will be so stupid.  Saala koi aas paas bachtaa hee nahin hai jo kahe ki – ‘you can do without a bf / gf ‘.

“To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan; You should wear it inside, where it functions best.”

People falling in love from a distance on the basis of FB status updates and pics is nothing but testosteronic love ; which will vaporize with the next available chance / point of catharsis. Actually the genesis of this is –‘boys fall in love with Adobe Photoshop’. The girl who actually looks like Johnny Lever, with the help of photoshop , now, looks like a cheap version of Sherlyn Chopra and what exactly a boy wants! BANG!! Yaad rakhiye – “ FB ke profile picture aur profile ke owner ke asli chehre mein aksar door door tak koi rishta nahi hota” 

 ‘I don’t care ‘who you are’, ‘where you are from’, ‘what you do’; as long as you Love me’– the hot favorite song by Backstreet Boys is not applicable these days. The present version is, ‘I care, who you are, where you are from, what you did, who cares if you love me’- the hot favorite song not from Backstreet Boys but EveryStreet Boys! If any of the partners in love is not doing too well in his /her other life (social, academic, career, finance) – the chance is the relationship will begin to show cracks soon. Kyunki aaj kal Izzat pyaar se badhkar hai..Pyaar ko gaali dena,Izzat ko nahi..:)

Har pyaar ko pareeksha se guzarana padta hai. The board exams of so called true Love begin – when they end up in the bed. As you sit for more papers; your interest towards class 10^th begins to diminish; by the time you reach the 5^th paper –you have already started thinking of class 11^th …And eventually u start thinking about B TECH.        

Every love changes; once it happens. Baad mein ‘kuch kuch hona’ band ho jaata hai aur ‘ kuch bhi nahin hota’ hai! Familiarity breeds contempt. Your attraction for anything that you achieve is bound to come down. And if in today’s world – you are getting options,( which then actually seem good even if they aren’t ) and if you still are not engaged legally *(because the grass is greener ) – you are bound to graze the grass on the other side. Goes an old joke: – ‘Why do doctors advise heart patients to have sex with their own girlfriend / wife: – Because there is no damn risk of getting excited’.

Then the break up happens in the Ekta Kapoor way. Chewing gum kee tarah kheench kheench kar emotional melodrama peak pe hota hai tab. You begin liking songs as ‘Naina lagiyaan baarishaan te sukkey sukkey sapney bhi Bhij gaye’ . Reason: – ‘Mind loves negativity’. FB statues change to something like :- ‘Tujhe Bhula Diya…’ and 5 friends who know whatever happened between the two you – ‘LIKE’ that status. That is the awwwww-ish time of life. Even the Aaloo ka parantha that you are eating in the breakfast seems to say awwwww at your condition and‘pickle and curd likes it’ !! 

I genuinely empathize with the species ‘Breakup non-sapience’; who are mired in an udaasi / boredom / diljale situation of an indescribable kind. ‘Zameen se ugti hai ya aasman se aati hai .. Ye be iraada udaasi kahan se aati hai’.  If you’re looking for sympathy, you’ll find it in the dictionarybetween “shit” and “syphilis”.

Most relationships break / go wrong because; at the outset they start with the wrong person because you didn’t wait for your right man / woman & just let the next happening happen to you … Guys / Girls fail to generate / sustain love amongst their family because of which they so much get wanting of ‘Emotional dependence’ on people outside of home & they just end up having someone at that place. I see so many many young lives just ‘stuck up’ in boring relationships. They do not even have the guts / creativity to either better the relationship out or to get out of it.

An old hindi song beautifully says :- ‘Wo Afsaana jise anjaam taq laana naa ho mumkin ; usay aek khoobsurat mod dekar chodna achaa..’

But then wait – the moment you break up – ‘The next one is waiting to happen’. And trust me – ‘you’ll love him/ her similarly, truly, madly and deeply’… before saying ‘AAhaa…’  . See what Liz Hurley is doing…After breaking up with Arun Nayar ,she fell in love with Shane Warne, and she says-“I have never felt like this before..” Bhool gayi ek saal pehle Arun ke saath  bhi aisa hi laga tha…Hamein yaad hai!!Tum kaise bhool gayi??.. . After all, relationships are like shampoos. Readily available today in ‘sachet packs’.

Management Lessons:

Lesson One...

An eagle was sitting on a tree... just resting... doing nothing. A rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,
"Can I also sit like you and do nothing"? The eagle answered, "Sure, why not"? So the rabbit sat on the
ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management principle number one: To sit around doing nothing, you better be sitting very, very, high up.

Lesson Two...

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree, but I haven't
got the energy," sighed the turkey. "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" suggested the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients". The turkey pecked at a lump of that and found it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more, he reached the second
branch. Finally, on the fifth day, he found himself proudly perched at the very top. There, he was promptly
spotted by a farmer who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson Number Two...Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three...

A little bird was flying South for the winter. It was so cold, the bird's wings froze and he fell to the ground
in a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dropping on him. As the frozen bird
lay there in the pile of that, it began to realize how warm it was; that was actually thawing him out. The bird
lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird's song and came to
investigate. The cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dropping and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management lessons three, four and five...

Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

When you're in deep shit it's best to keep your mouth shut.

Should you Fall or Should you rise?

I always used to wonder why do people say have you ever fallen in love or everyone falls in love once in his/her lifetime and all that. May be because everyone experiences that moment of eternal love once atleast. But then to this phrase 'fall in love' doesnt really justifies the feeling. Why you gotta fall, why cant you rise in love??????
Anyways thats not my point...I am not here to debate like historians whether Monalisa is gay or girl, whether Himalayas gonna disappear or they r eternal. My point is and have actually found out why this phrase 'fall in love' is as popular as Metallica or Nirvana.
This 'fall' in love is as great as humpty dumpty's fall. When you love somebody and that too to the hilt you start owning that person. And thats where you go wrong my dudes and dudettes!! And when you know that the person whom you love will be with you day in-day out, night in-night out,24X7....believe it or no you are misguided. Then you expect all that jazz the way you want... If humans have brains then lovers, spouse or your companions definitely have hearts. So just let 'em be ya.... You can love them but you cant live them.
Ever wondered howcome everything is picture perfect @the beginning?? The logic is simple:-
Because you dont know each other that well that you start spoting the differences. Or to be simpler, you are still in a young realtion to know that person.. And which is why everything is damnnnn rosy and damn pretty @the beginning.
Then comes the stage where you start knowing each other. Those hang-outs, small time dates, talking over the phone, tete-a-tete,rendezvous etc are surely to look forward to. You take out sweet times from your ass burning days and have a gala time with that person. Mind it!! This time of your deal is still safe because that P.R works well.
And as we proceed and so called 'as the it feeling blossoms' you suddenly start getting jerks. And these arent huge or big issues as global warming or population explosion but petty...real petty. But you gotta agree that you enjoy this phase of your deal..You get this feeling, 'arrite some real stuff is happening dude'!!
Actually this is the warm up of devastation. You do it because you like it real. Eventually this becomes the routine and worse is yet to come.
Okay after we know, we love, we admit, we want, we like...comes I dont, Why me,I cant, I wont, Why cant you. Isnt it funny. To me it is....
That pallete which was full of colors is now all dried out!! You want colors but the bottols are empty. You wanna blend it well but resources are scarce. So the question of painting a picture perfect is out and so out.
And you get so buzzed or busted that you give up and tear the idea of making a picture..forget about the idea of a 'perfect picture' or to put it right a 'Picture Perfect.
