The Forgotten Poem



Lying on a upper bearth on Koraput Express today I saw a couple . Well it was easy to guess they were in love . Is it really so obvious to guess when people are in love ? Can't say . All I can say that i have come accross some peoples who can with great amount of accuracy predict when and with whom a person is in love with. But in this case since I was at a alleviated position so I myself could tell that the couple were in love .


Seeing the "in love " couple I was trying to guess what the thoughts of the couple were .What each of them were thinking of each other and what were their thoughts on the future. Slowly a poem was forming in my mind .


I have almost forgotten the poem but here it what i could salvage by digging deep into my mind .Next time when i see a couple in love i will take out a notebook .
...
the forgotten poem[of which whatever i could remember]

tere liye hua janm mera
tere bina hoga mera maut
tu hi hai pyar mera
tu hi meri mahubbat

tere yaad main nayan se aanshu nikhle
tere payar se moti banke woh bikhre


When I remember the rest I will add it[basically meaning ,never :D ]
...

Lying down , composing the poem, I was almost in a dreamy state .Thoughts of love , of friendship were flowing through my mind teasing the grey cells.I slowly got oblivious of the surroundings , floated into the dreamo-sphere . Places , faces and events came down upon me .They were revolving around me like planets around the sun, they were wisphering into my ears.They started laughing , screaming and yelling at me as if I had done them some great harm.

Suddenly , as if from another world , I could here the voice of chai-wala asking people whether they would like to have a go at his combination of water , sugar , some tea small amount of powermilk and more water which he calls chai.

Enough of trying to be Rabindra Nath Tagore.The poem composing thing had taken a toll on me . I called the chai-wala ,had a cup of tea , cleared my mind and then went to sleep[no dreams this time :) ] and woke up when the train reached howrah.When i boarded the taxi to take me to my flat i had almost forgotten the dreamy occurance and most certainly had forgotten the
poem .



Trivia:
After writing the poem on this blog i have come to the conclusion that my hindi sucks.I really have no sense of hindi grammar and am really bad in using the roman script to write in hindi .Some would laugh and say as if my marks in hindi did no already prove it.I am a Bengali after all .

Smoking by the river

Coke lighting up a cigarette by the river bank as Hardcore looks on.Tiwari as usual is coming up with some buissness ideas.

Enchanting pic.

I somehow like this photo very much . Took this on a trip to some riverbank 25Kms away from Kharagpur. For me this photo is enchanting to say the least.

The Female Rules

Hey ... This is for all you guys out there. A set of rules which will be usefull in understaing the female pschye ... Or atleast making it clear that however much we try we will not be able to understand them ...


The Female Rules
1. The Female always makes THE RULES.

2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice.

3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES.

4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES.

5. The Female is never wrong.

6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong.

7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.

8. The Female can change her mind at any time.

9. The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female.

10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.

11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset.

12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset.

13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times.

14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said.

15. If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks backbone, and is a wimp.

16. If the Female has PMS, all THE RULES are null and void and the Male must cater to her every whim.

17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5.

Why Blogging ??

Over the past many months my mind had been bombarded with many a thoughts .If i had a penny for each of them then by now i would have bought the company i am working in right now[if Premji would agree to sell it :) ] .

At that time the idea of starting my own blog had haunted me over and over again.But something within had stopped me always from doing so.

Maybe the things and thoughts that i wanted to write about are so intensely private that i thought that it would do nobody any good if i posted them in a public forum .

Or maybe, I was just plain lazy.Too lazy to jot down a sequence of characters of a funny language to form something meaningfull.

But now my thoughts have so complex , my mind littered with them that it has become necessary to download them. I do not posses a pensive like that of the great Dumbeldore so I have resorted to the blogs.

I will try to channel the creative sprit in me in the endeavour .Let's see how successfull i will be in this .
