Power Corrupts

I was in school and one of those kids who were always teacher's favourite.
Surely, that thing changed in college. I remember people often turning to me to get a job done as they knew that particular teacher would agree to me.

No, it's not boasting at all. That would have been probably years ago. As far as the present is concern, I don't even recall much of school. But, yes the lessons which must have been learnt then are learned now.
So, was not that favoritism wrong? Well, that time - no it wasn't. I must always be right!! Ya.. that was the same attitude till few days back.
And, all of a sudden- life wanted me to learn something more- something to add on.

So, today - favoritism is not my cup of tea.
When the elections just turned down on Mayawati this year; many of us were happy. But, ofcourse there was this sudden reaction - If they have power, they ought to be corrupt.
True!! Didn't many of us thought the same. Yes! we did.

Power is a mighty word. It creates, it destroys. It makes, it destructs.
The charm of power is that all of us- mind you- all of us are working our ass off to earn it; craving each day to hamper somebody's else life without even realizing that -it is this point the chain starts from. It is this point where every other person keeps acquiring the same properties and starts losing his hope of fair chances in anything he would have ever dreamt of.

The reservations are such a perfect example.
They could have liberalized the money spent on fees, form and books.
But, they preferred liberalizing marks- which was hard earned, must have taken a whole year from those people's life.But, probably cheaper than money. Or else what might be the reason to rate money over hard work?

The last 2year in IT world have made me see this Power and favoritism yet again.
People with hard earned name rarely survive and hard earned buttering capacity always do.
From a promotion to an onsite to a growth stategy--how pathetic does it feel
when you know that you were more deserving and yet someone else walked out with the candy
b'coz he/she is somebody else Eye-Candy.
Well, such is our world. Such is our generation and the most ironic the people aged enough to be included in the older generations are the top management and corrupt everything in and out.

Where are we ending into-- A society where Professionalism is another form of flattery.
They might be your friends or Friends with Benefits- but they have earned and reached a stage where
the other person will take a long time to reach without a GodFather.
Ahh!! Just the typical Bollywood Style.

Dreams

That girl who worked in high spirits,
when dropped her head,
the wind came rushing by,
took that layers of shining thread.
That beautiful aroma
which it created,
when the shining hairs,
 scattered over her eyes and head.


The little fingers,
which ran across the face curves,
Gently they moved,
Scintillated sparks and flashes.


She regained her posture,
His attention made her feel perked up,
The glorifying smile,
which makes the moving world go still.
Softly, she made an exit.
Vanishing from the eyes.


His eyes rolled and searched her,
in every nook and corner.
Dazzled by the beauty,
charmed by the Aura,
Lamenting for letting her escape.
He knew she was the one.

And, he woke up blinking,
Was that a dream?
Sat still, no motion could be seen.

Is this that one dream,
puzzled by the jerk,
Surprised by the innocence.
The young fellow just got up,
Still figuring out..


Are some dreams so close to the heart,
that seem to consume you,
some dreams carry the cart,
they seem to amuse you.

एक परिपक्वता की मंशा  में जीवन यापन करता मैं,

किसी दिशा की ओर बढता मैं,

हर दिन इसी से गुजरता मैं |

जीवन की आपाधापी में खुद को समझता मैं,

उलझन में  तो सारे हैं,

पर उनके आगे बढ़ता मैं |

एक युग का दर्शन होता है,

गतिरोध और विलंभ का साथ संगम होता है,

इस  ओर मैं अपनी सीमा को  प्रदर्शित करता मैं |

That thing called LOVE.

While I sat to write this at 1:19 am on a Saturday morning, I just don't have much idea on how it is going to turn out.
While IF ONLY taught, Love is to die for making memories which will live behind.
While Jab We Met came and reflected, you end up finding the right person somehow.

Love, probably, is a sense to give and expect nothing much in return. But, not everyone gets hold of it.
The sad thing is many regret it as most of the time you end up being heartbroken.
Love, but is a genuine feeling.
There are different phases of life. Not everyone gets their first love.
Perhaps, I always believed that love is when you have the ability to spend your whole life with the same person appreciating the dedication, ignoring the mistakes, supporting even the wrong decisions and enjoying growing old with someone.
Perhaps, growing old with someone is a thought which brings smile always.

Perhaps, we all find a person to grow old with, to live with, to love life as we love him/her.
So, take a break from the busy life, look around - you never know what life keps in store for you.

In the hustle-bustle of a city life,
I saw a little baby dying,
the old men crying,
and the youngsters enjoying.

In those long lanes,
I saw a different world around.
The silence crawling by,
and winking at the pain.

That one window pane,
which used to see the rains,
enjoy the tea,
and endless talks
is now no more found.

That one door,
where everyone knocked,,
from a long time
has not heard any sound.
People,
whose talks mesmerized everything
has been lost in their own world.

Clutter is the only word,
which matches every feeling.

The beauty of life is,
it makes you smile in times of pain,
and shed tears in ecstasy.

My heart drops,
Clingy still,
It's a beautiful day,
The wind touches me slightly,
vanishes in the dark.
I can still feel the charm,
soft, gentle and calm.

The trees swing swiftly,
I watch,
I smile,

The solitude made me a better observer.

Lost words.

The little pleasures,

The simple gestures,

In spite of everything,

when everything seems fading.

The perfect winters,

where sun plays hide and seek.

The rains which are often missed.

Of all the things,

Which made me,

I want my WORDs back to me.

How can I let thou leave,

you are a reliever

You make me believe.

But, when I find you lacking,

my heart breaks.

It pains,

it drills.

But, nowhere can I reach

the destination which is Insane.

If Prayers could be moulded,

I would ask:

To get me my happiness and peace.

 Words.. my words!!

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu: EMAET

"Paniyon k jaisi hain yeh muskane , behne de
 Labjon main btana hai ni zaroori, rehne de"

It has been really long since Rockstar released and none other movie caught the attention.

But, just one fine morning EMAET's promo glued the eyes to the television set. And, probably from that very time, I wanted to watch the movie.

On the other hand, the tragedy of life is that nobody was ready to watch it with me because of a trillion reasons.

And, the one reason for the same was not liking the reviews.

So, finally I watched it alone. Forgot the world for a few hours. Even forgot that I have things to complete and just quit from another tiring/terrible day at work.

Just for that last line, I hope only my dear ones follow this blog. Sometimes, I think even they don't. lol.

Anyways, for the movie- I certainly loved it and probably was not criticizing the movie for the very first time.

One fine morning, you are born in a perfectly disciplined family where in your early age you have been taught to dress perfectly, return on time from that 1hour you are given to play with your friends.

 Rahul's case was probably worse than mine. :)

Although, there are scenes where you know things are exaggerated. We are used to these vulgar jokes in Karan Johar's movies.

Geet from Jab We Met has been the most charming Bollywood character ever. I have always loved the pace, the dialogues, the sincerity with the role.Also, not to forget the silent and shy lover -Shahid Kapoor who adds the beauty in the movie.

You might not find Geet in Riana but you can actually fall for Kareena Kapoor. She's actually pretty.

For Imran- I have never felt he acts. This has began from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na..to I hate Love Stories.,.and even in EMAET.

Probably, he speaks much fewer dialogues face to face. Probably, he likes the narration. Although, I am completely comfortable with it.But, In EMAET, he actually does justice to the role. From that Mumma's boy to a perfect friend cum lover, he is just worthy of another applause.Those few scenes- where Imran says-I still think, one fine morning everything will be understood..and you can actually find yourself relating to him.

A disciplined guy -after losing his job + Girlfriend meets this Messy Riana who is just too irritating.

But, that Sunshine Girl role completely suits Kareena. And, to be honest, Kareena actually does that to the big screen. She's loud rather very loud but you will love the witty replies she gives Imran.That one girl, who when enters everything is glowing,shining and is beautiful.

Although Auntyji was the most irritating song I ever heard. After watching it in the movie, the perception changed. I actually love the song.

Coming to the music, EMAET title track transacts you to a Party mode.

Gubbare might sound idiotic at first- but as usual-listen to the lyrics and you will eventually like it.That's actually a beautiful track.

For "Aahatein", it had been my favorite even before the movie released. The music, the lyrics and just the feel of it.

For "Kar chalna shuru.." I would just say:

There might be real life situations where you end up falling in love with your best friend without even knowing the consequence. Although most bollywood movies have followed the same theme but had a happy ending.

But, I loved the open ending. Sometimes, it's how it happens in the real world too. You don't know how to react to that one person you have believed for so long.

You don't know how to face that one person with whom you can discuss your long list of crushes, your likes and dislikes.You don't know how to bring things back to the same level where they were without changing that loud conversation you used to have, wherein you can call a friend at any time without even thinking.

Probably, if you end up falling in love with your best buddy and find that the same feelings are not reciprocated- I, particularly feel that you should be thankful to God that it was your friend as someday in the long time to come-"Your friendship will always overcome love." And if are lucky enough, you might get your lover as your friend. :D

And,for Imran- he's cute. And, looks great from complete jerk to welcoming his new life with zest.

As sung-"Aee..dil tujhe pta hai,

yeh lamhe aur kya hain"
Also, the way Kareena has dealt with such a critical situation is appreciable.

EMAET was not about - two entirely different people meeting and parting away. It was just a reminder of although how much you care for someone you love, your friendship can save the memories.  Probably, that affection would last long, maybe forever. But, sometimes,it's not about getting the person to walk along with you. Sometimes, it just walking happily on different paths-yet loving that one person you can't be with.

I am really not sure why people said it's a waste of time.

I simply loved it.

Despite the exaggeration, the loud comedy - I just loved the ending and here comes:-

"Jo hua hai woh hota  hai,

Jo  hona hai woh hona hai.

Kar chalna shuru tu,

Mud k na dekh tu,

Jaise hai sahi hai,

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu."
