Dev D!!

Does Dev D speak the heart and minds of todays youth in some way?Am i asking a question or stating an assumption?? I don't know.I just saw this movie some time back and could visualise smoke, drinks, money and all things which i should not have remembered, till i set my foot out of the mall i was in to watch the movie!Must say, the movie cast a spell-although i am unable to categorise it-magical/spooky/eerie????Again, dont know is the answer i would cling to...:)
because, to whosoever i popped up the question of the view about the movie, i have got positive replies.As per me, the movie is a bold foray into the realities tugged behind cushions of vanity and riches.Also, the movie,behind the hazy pictures of smoke, drinks and what not,tries to see through the unseen and unspoke of realities that we avoid to face every single day.Behind the closed shutters,games of money play their part-money moving from one hand to other hand,emotions tarnished by artifical smiles and exchange of words polished by an urge to earn-earn some bits of paper, the only thing which can substantiate survival in this cruel world.And, the D factor, or the D connection, hints at doom,silent doom when the lead actor immerses himself in the sea of remorse and failing in a bit to heal his wounds, ends up ruining them more everytime.Patna ke presleys..:) do some emotional atyachaar by speaking words that had been better left unspoken..:) Anyways, they do their job well by making mahii dance to their tunes,and introducing desi jazz to the wishlist of our bright and cheerful gen X...:) Recollecting the thoughts in my mind as i moved out of the cinema hall, i can just say that the movie is an open jigsaw game,open to interpretations and critique....:)
Dev D...
Amazing songs must say!!

A transient comeback...

As i visited my blog after a long span of time which has woven me into boring schedule that a typical IT job has to offer, i felt in me the urge to write up something, just simple for the sake of writing.Would not mind mentioning here, that having accidentally developed a follower of my blog and some good comments by readers in my kitty, i felt obliged towards producing a write up ..:)
ummmm...writing is a big addiction,one must say!!I still remember sitting long , diving deeply into the world of words,flipping pages of my vocab and memory just to make the right words hit the emotional schema of plots used in my poems...:) sounds too technical..!!So, by now the readers should have made out that this blog is a haphazard piece of some random thoughts and is written without any particular idea in mind.As i started blogging, i must admit i used to check it trillions of times to see my posts commented by and answering them once a while..:) But as i started writing frequently, it developed into a passion, wherein i just loved converting any vague emotion or a visualization, or maybe a typical hindi movie plot etc etc...to my own world of woven words, wherein i could morph, modify, construct and brighten up some little things which we ignore otherwise.Time flew by and i became busy in my IT job.Lack of time drifted me away, into a different, monotonous unexpressive world, where i felt that writing is a tedious job.But as they say, beauty never fades, once unvieled, you cant hide from it.So, here i am, almost at the end of the urge to write, now that i have discovered that i can still write the same way, just need some more thoughts.i feel rejuvenated that the panache to write is still there in me...:):)

THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!!

Worship......

Colours of life.........

Stony regret........

Peace ........

Beauty is vivid!!

Freedom.....to touch the skies!!

Tried to capture some aspects of life through these pics after a long search on google!!

TUM NA SAMJHE THE............

Tum na samjhe the baat itni si,
Tumhari aas rahe har pal ye khwaish thi kitni si.

Is aas ke saaye me beette the pal,
Umeed ki dor se bandha tha har kal.

Kachchi thi wo dor use tootna hi tha,
Age jo badi chali manzil to hame peecha chootna hi tha.

Kal ki wo sunehri patang kho gayi kuch aise,
Sagar se chin gaya ho uska kinaara jaise.

Raahein hain anjaan,bas manzil hi nahi hai,
Lehron ka rukh kahin hai aur sahil kahin hai.

Baatein hai unginat, par shabd nahi hain,
Har pal hai soona , fir bhi waqt nahi hai.

Na hi hai koi aas aur na hi bacha koi haq,
Na vishwaas ka nishaan or na hi koi shaq.

Hans rahe hain hum par aankhen hai nam,
Anjaan se lamhon me nishabd se hain hum.

Wo samete hue lamhe,wo pyari yadein sab choot rahein hain,
Gaanthon se bhare vishwaas ke dhaage ab toot rahein hain.

Wo apne se lamhe ho rahe hai paraye saare,
Itni door tak a gaye the hum fir bhi hain hare…..

THE ROAD AHEAD.......

The road ahead is a lonely one,

the sweet solitude adding to the fun.

The journey shall be tough but it entails the freedom i crave,

ending the need to justify my actions and comments so rave.

The wind seems to be flowing against my face,

declaring clearly that its not easy a race.

But aloud inside something shrieks from within,

that i wanna get away from the useless din.

Some fears and worries that i would wish overcome,

rising past things tacky and irksome.

They say that the road leads to a worthless blind turn,

but my instincts count upon it for the things i yearn.

Hoping against the hope that the destination is not the right one,

here i am, all set to carve the path that has been taken by none.....

TO PHIR AAO.....

"To phir aao, mujhko sataao..

Dil baadal bane,ankhen behne lagen,aahein aise uthein,jaise aandhi chale...

To phir aao,mujhko sataao...aa bhi jaao,aa bhi jaao,aa bhi jaao, aa bhi jaao

Gam le ja tere , jo bhi tune diye..

ya phir mujhko bataa,inko kaise sahein,

To phir aao,mujhko sataao,

to phir aao mujhko rulaao,a bhi jao a bhi jao

Ab to is manzar se, mujhko chale jana hai...

jin raahon pe mera yaar hai ,un raahon ko mujhe pana hai

To phir aao mujhko satao to phir aao mujhko rulao...

aa bhi jaao a bhi jaao, a bhi jaao.. "

As the song makes its way into ur heart, u are just left feeling a certain sense of belongingness to somebody ,somewhere unkown or most probably known to u, whom u might have thought of having in ur life.The ultimate beauty of longingness mixed with a sense of betrayal will leave u reeling into what lies untold and undone.Seems complex but things that are complex are remembered till long.The song is a request or say a challenge from someone deeply in love with other,asking him/her to test watever he can- be it patience ,dedication,trust or be it the most complex thing in life , love that is as easy to spell as hard it is to understand.The song also speaks of deep resolve in the way of getting sumone that no matter what happens, the person concerned will go out of all the bounds to accept the path ,of thorns or roses,that depends actually,just to feel the presence of the person he loves the most.Guess how they create such beautiful songs like that, only to bring u more near to the realities of life , that u face every single second.Hats off to the composers and above all the music director for he has captured pain and agony in such a beautiful way that the song is realistic in its own sense.The song simply rocks!!!

And travels the path from dream to dilemma in just flat 8 minutes approximately....that is the magic of indian cinema...:)

NEW CHANGES ON THE WAY!!

Don't know whether its an exaggeration or what,but somewhere down the line,many things have changed since college and many more changes are happening every single day.Umm, it will be difficult to say for how long things will remain the same, but still i am enjoying all what is happening around me.The sudden rush of so called professionalism,have to think upon that again bcoz i think i still do the same stupid things that i used to do in college :) ,that we are still trainees is another respite coz we can still make mistakes...:)

And yes,making new friends, funfilled training sessions , every day struggles to reach on time ,language problems,and ya,those frequent visits to beaches has been , in all a sweet journey till now. Chennai is not that bad actually , heat and food problems apart..:P

People have been nice till now, and hope they are going to be the same,and one thing i just liked about chennai is that it is a safe place to be in.Chennai has become a gr8 IT hub offlate and one of the gud things is that u can find enough north indians here..just like us, who have crosed boundaries of language and geography to be at par with technology..sounds like crap..:)

But ,one thing that i found lacking in the midst of it all is the lack of time - lack of time to be yourself, lack of time to sit down and relax..Life has become so kinetic and speedy..buzzing with one or other activity all the time.Can say, beaches here are a real treat when you want to sit and introspect,when u want to think something off, when u want to refresh fazed memories...the charm of a beach side stroll has been a gr8 reason i have started liking chennai.

As for now, i am still adapting to the changes,holding hopes and keeping my fingers crossed for may more things to take shape ..:)
