First Things First

I Have had a blog account for centuries now, but never have been enthusiastic enough to write some thing.
But its raining cats and dogs as usual on a monsoon night in mumbai and have nothing better to do so this post. I love the rains and specially those days when this metropolis comes to a standstill just like a frozen moment in time. I think its necessary for the lesser mortals in this city to just to be able to catch a breath in silence instead of gasping for air as usual.

I have been reading a few hindi and urdu poets off late, both languages are really close to my heart.

It takes one to know one they say , so here are a few of my own couplets just for record.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Woh Filmein Bahut Dekhta Hai.....
Woh Filmein Bahut Dekhta Hai.....
Sunte Hain........
Bachpan Mein Use Kahani Sunane Wala Koi Nahi Tha!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Woh Filmein Bahut Dekhta Hai.....
Woh Filmein Bahut Dekhta Hai.....
Sunte Hain........
Bas, Ek Sapna Tuta Tha Uska!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Woh Hara Rang Bahut Pehenta Hai.....
Woh Hara Rang Bahut Pehenta Hai......
Sunte Hain........
Registan Se Aaya Tha!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Woh Ab Bas TV Ke Channel Badalta Rehta Hai......
Woh Ab Bas TV Ke Channel Badalta Rehta Hai......
Kehte Hain......
Usne Bahut Duniya Dekhi Hai!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gali Chuti Shehar Chuta..
Gali Chuti Shehar Chuta..
Pata Magar Yaad Raha..
Milte The Kabhi Hum,Jis Ped Ke Niche...
Kehte Hain Bhare Patzad Mein Bhi
Bas Wok Ek Ped, Abaad Raha!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh Hamari Nazar Nahi
Nazar Ki Laash Hai........
Ghoom Liye Makaan Bahut
Aub Hamein GHAR Ki Talash Hai"
