questions

I have my dream

Is it for keeps?

What the unknown holds

Is it what I seek?

I know not for sure

Are the chances bleak?

Certainly there are expectations

Is it something I can meet?

memories

Its so hard to forget
Memories in my mind
Fighting for them not to beset
I erased all I could find
Those conversations now gone
No longer will they remind me
Of what I never had

Catching a dream

Trying to chase a dream

That’s been stuck in my mind

Persistent like a flowing stream

Something that’s not mine

Should I pursue?

Or let it be

It'll remain

But just a dream

Tum Se Hi

Wonderful song from the movie jab we met. Here are a few excerpts of the lyrics from the song tum se hi.

Na hai yeh paana
Na khona hi hai
Tera na hona jaane
Kyun hona hi hai

Tum se hi din hota hai
Surmaiye shaam aati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi

feeling

It happened that time

When I first met you

Something that was mine

I was deeply moved

Too scared was I to say

Expressed it not

I had hid it every day

Courage I had not got

We then went our ways

It was lost but not forgotten

It still lurks within

Yes it was a feeling

A feeling unnamed

wii!!

Got a wii for my sis last week. It really fun to play with. Can't wait for a karaoke game to come out for this system.

Indifference

To Love is something
To Hate is too
But Indifference is what
As if one had never existed
As if one was never born

Mere haathon mein

Mere haathon mein tera haat ho
Teri baaton mein meri baat ho
Hum yunhi chalte chalte khojaain
Hum yunhi chalte chalte khojaain
Meri saanson mein teri saas ho
Aur tanhai apney paas ho
Sar rakhke teray kaandhe pai sojayein
Sar rakhke teray kaandhe pai sojayein
Mai jaago teray pyaar mein
Aur jeeton tujko haar kai
Tum rootho to manaon gunguna kay
Tum rootho to manaon gunguna kay
Saanse tumse poore
Tum na to yeh adhoori
Tum hi to mera pyaar ho
Tumse khiza bahaar ho
Ho to chain aaye
Na ho to ghum hai chaaye
Jaaneman bolo aur hum tumko kya kahe kya sunaye
Sab yunhi chalta jaaye
Hum yunhi milte jaayen
Magar aisa tub ho na jab tum yahaan ho
Magar aisa tub ho na jab tum yahaan ho
Tum yahaan ho
-Ali Zafar

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow

JK Rowling has revealed the name of the 7th Harry Potter book.

Who is John Galt?

Can't wait to see what they make of Atlas Shrugged. Anjelina Jolie is set to cast as Dagny Taggart.

B'day events

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when a representative from wataniya telecom called to wish me a happy birthday. Seems they have some marketing guys doing some work.

Making my way back to the salmiya petrol station I could sense I was dangerously low on fuel. The car sputtered to a stop right at the entrance of the petrol station. I managed to start it up again but only managed to make it a few feet before the pump. With a helping hand of a few people managed to push it to the pump. My mustang doesn't look as heavy as it actually is, I couldn't push it on my own.

tere bin

tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin
tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin
lekar yaad teri raaten meri kati - 2
mujhse baaten teri karti hai chaandani
tanha hai tujh bin raaten meri
din mere din ke jaise nahi
tanha badan tanha hai ruh nam meri aankhen rahe
aaja mere ab rubaru
jeena nahi bin tere
tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin
tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin

kabse aankhen meri raah mein tere bichhi - 2
bhule se hi kahi tu mil jaaye kabhi
bhule na mujhse baaten teri
bheegi hai har pal aankhen meri
kyun saans loon kyun main jiyu
jeena bura sa lage
kyun ho gaya tu bewafaaa mujhko bata de wajah
tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin ...
tere bin main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin ...

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost

Petrol Prices Worldwide

An interesting look into the petrol rates worldwide. http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/
Pakistan which is not listed has a rate of $4.32 per gallon. I was amazed to see Egypt having cheaper petrol at $0.65 per gallon compared to Kuwait which is $0.78 per gallon.

Toilets

Toilets seem to flush counter-clockwise in kuwait.
Wonder how they work in other parts of the world.

Curiosity

Curiosity got the better of us

We sought and we discovered

We listened and we saw

We toyed and we played

We quarreled we fought

We thought and we contemplated

For curiosity got the better of us

Redemption

repost...

An alluring allusion the causerie was not.
Phantasmagoria built on pity it was.
An austere obdurate of capricious nature.
A poignant denouement of a quixotic utopia.
Forlorn, yet with a fixity to regenerate.
Like Antares radiant in its celestial return.
Emancipating solitary sentiments into oblivion.
Tergiversating from the raptures bygone.
Desensitized to all endearment for futurity.
Penance for former infatuation unsought.
Nor any blame for instigation sought.
Desire for amiable consonance redeemed.

Hate

What is hate but self-immolation,

Through the heart

Quite unlike a cupid’s arrow

Denial of the most precious of senses

Satisfying our lust for self-righteousness

Vilifying the puritan escapades

Implicating the innocence inside

Leaving the demons unchained

Our thoughts slip into repression

No going back, imprisoned

Sinner for life
