लारी छूटी ..... के लारी मिल गई ??

So ..... I am no longer a bachelor (this realisation has just started to sink in, after more than 3 weeks of *not* being single) ..... and allow me to make a public confession ..... I am loving it !! (to be said in the McDonald's style) :-)

My first post as a *married* man !! :-)

Had been thinking for a long time, as to how to break the news on the blog. Not that it matters, how I put it up here .... coz most of the people who venture onto this blogspace already know about it!! But its still something to think about :-).

As we were about to leave today morning, as usual, I had been humming along a song (that is usually stuck in my head because of an overdose of listening to it the previous day, till I change the entire playlist, so that I can get it out of my head, to end up listening to just one new song for the entire day again, and hum it along the next morning ..... and the cycle continues ..... you get the picture :-)).
And suddenly, she says, "These lyrics kinda match with what has been happening to you over the last few days, isn't it ??".
And then I had to hum through the lyrics all over again, to *hear* them this time, and I realised, that they did kinda match with whats been going on with me lately :-). So now hear I was, hearing and writing out the song in देवनागरी, the way I like it.
But, I also did realise as I wrote it, that the base of the song is *unexpected*, things of copper suddenly turning to gold! And that is NOT how it has happened to me, meaning, I always knew things were "golden", just that I did not know that they were in reach :-)!! (समझदार को इशारा काफ़ी है !). Well, so what I have done, is highlighted (in red) the parts that I can identify with :-).

So here goes .....

वोह कहते है ना ..... जो होता है ..... अच्छे के लिए होता है ..... गलद कहते है !!

किस्मत का खेल है सारा ..... फिरता था मैं आवारा ..... ये क्या से क्या हो गया .....
चार दिन की जिंदगानी ..... हर पल एक नई कहानी ..... क्या था मैं क्या बन गया .....

क्या हुआ जो लारी छूटी ..... जीवन की गारी लूटी ..... ख्वाब है तो मुझको ना जगा
जिंदगी एक पल मे साली ..... यू पलट गई हमारी ..... झूठ है तो मुझको ना बता !!


मुम्बई ..... सुना था यहाँ आदमी पुरी जिंदगी अपनी किस्मत .....
slow track से fast track लाने मे निकाल देता है .....
पर ढाई घंटे मे मेरी किस्मत .....
ऐसे slow track से fast track पर आ जाएगी .....
यह मैंने कभी सोचा नही था .....
सजा मजा बन जाएगी .....
यह भी कभी सोचा नही था !!!
last local क्या छूटी .....
साला किस्मत पटरी पर आ गई !!


कर लू जो भी करना है ..... होता है जो होना है .....
गुजरा तो पल ये ..... फ़िर ना आएगा .....
क्या बुरा है .... क्या भला है ...... वक़्त ही शायद खुदा है .....
हो जाने दो फ़िर ...... देखा जाएगा !!

क्या हुआ जो लारी छूटी ..... जीवन की गारी लूटी ..... ख्वाब है तो मुझको ना जगा
जिंदगी एक पल मे साली ..... यू पलट गई हमारी ..... झूठ है तो मुझको ना बता !!

वोह कहते है ना ..... जो होता है ..... अच्छे के लिए होता है ..... सही कहते है !!!

Wishing Sonal and myself a very *Happy married life* !!! :-)

The new gal on the block

I was just hanging out at my Didi's place the other day, and that too in the middle of the afternoon.
(Oh okay ..... fine .... all right ..... like most die-hard Puneites, I too like to have my mid-day siesta from time to time, and what better time to enjoy this, than after a good home-made lunch :-))

Neways, so I was just hanging out. Other people at home were also chilling around .... Didi was getting her nails done ...... Ishaan doing his Spiderman bit .... Shree making tea :-p ....... Ira also doing her bit (as much as a 1 year old can). Suddenly, out of the blue, Ira shifts her attention to her mom (Didi), or more precisely, to what her mom is doing. Now how much can a year old "woman" understand, about doing one's nails ??? But there was that spark in her eye!

What she did after that, was totally unexpected by any one of us, who'd been around her for the past 12 months. She crawled (with her sinister one legged crawl) towards her mom, perched herself on her legs, and stared intently. Then she gets up again, crawls towards her chair (the one she uses as a crawler) and gets it back to where her mom is sitting. She pulls herself up onto the chair, and ................ starts wailing :\

I had absolutely no idea as to what this drama was going to end in, but Didi, being the excellent mom (really) that she is, as well as a woman herself :-p realised what her daughter meant, and she herself very willingly gave up what she had been upto, and ended up doing this.

Now this is what I mean, when I say that the generation after ours, know their stuff well ....... and also know how to get the job done :-)
