And I Don't Have The Answer....

-

I just got back home. I was out today for most of the time. In the morning, after dropping my sis to work, I went to get a hair-cut and some face clean. I didn't want to have that face-clean stuff but my sis insisted that I must have one so there was no escape from it. So I was there, got the hair and face clean done. I got a call today from an old friend whose cyber cafe I used to visit almost daily as he used to have facility for making long distance calls. He just called to ask, in his own words that I am dead or alive? Well, needless to mention , I immediately went to see him. I was meeting him after exactly 3 years. He got married( I didn't even know about it) and was very angry with me that I was no where in his wedding. Well, truly, I never got any call otherwise I would had gone for sure in his wedding. He asked me a lot of stuff about some one and he got no answer from me.  I don't know but I just didn't have any clue even what to answer, what to reply? He talks a lot, so he was keep on asking me so much. He knows almost everything about me but since I couldn't meet him from so long, he missed alot and he was really really willing to know all the details. I used to stay in his home for almost whole night at times or would pick up my bike and would leave at around 1am (or even later) for my own home. In the mean time, when all of these q/a was happening, his wife came and I got formally introduced to her. She is very nice, very soft spoken. I really liked that she didn't get into any formalities or anything like that and was treating me like we know each other from so long. She kept on insisting me to eat the stuff that she made! Everything was fine, all of a sudden , a question came from her, "veer ji(brother in Punjabi), are you the same Aman who went abroad to meet someone"? Bummer! Once again, all the same things started, all those questions/answers were getting repeated. She was a little too much interested in knowing everything/anything and I had no other way to escape than to say that I had to get prints of my tickets so I got to go. After a promise that next time, I am going to tell everything in detail , I was allowed to leave.

Just now, when I came back and checked my mail, I saw that one of my friend is getting married on this 31st January. He has gone to US and is coming to India tomorrow night for wedding. He has sent me the scanned invitation card and an order that I must come! Its going to be a love-marriage. I know the complete details so I am really really happy for the couple. It was a painful time of 3 years that they have faced to get to this point and its remarkable that they stood together all the time with each other. I don't know that whether its a coincidence or not, but somehow, I got the same question from him as well, what about me? And again, I don't know the answer!

A Poetic MasterPiece By Faraz.....

-
I am a big fan of good poetry. I am not a poet myself  but where ever I do find anything good written, I try to collect and share it. Surely enough, my first preference would always be Punjabi poetry. But there is no such thing that I wont read from any where else. Whatever is good, I try to make sure that I don't miss it! There are some poets which have created history with their writings. Late Ahmed Faraz is among those handful which wrote timeless pieces from his pen. Saying anything about him would like showing torch to the sun. So without wasting any more time, I would like to share a poetic masterpiece from him which I read today only and instantly fell in love with it. This is in Hindi and I shall translate it English in a while. Please note, this does has lots of words from Urdu as well.I shall put the meanings of those words in the end of both Hindi and English versions. First, in Hindi, Dost ban kar bhi nahin saath nibhane wala, Wohi andaaz hai jaalim ka jamane...

Feelings Revealed Truly & Musically....

-
In music, out of the most pure forms of it, one is Qawalli . This is that form of music which is sung by the people who are not mere singers but devotees of God. This form of music was not a part of commercial music industry some time ago but due to its magic, its now very common to hear this in almost every where. Despite its used now in the commercial music industry, still the original form of it with minimum music instruments and claps of the singers while singing is the most popular one and remains untouchable. There are many singers who sing this form of music but some have made it a household name due to their singing. Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan   is among those very few who singers who are known as the masters of this devine music form. Out of millions of Qawalli songs available, there are some which hit straight in the heart. There is one that I am listening from some time and thought to share with you all. This one was specially recommended to me by my friend Sumit who hi...

Shiv Kumar Batalvi, A Legend....

-
There are so many writers in this world and there is just an ocean of literature. But despite the fact that all the writers are good and the entire literature of the world is nice, I still love Punjabi literature and its writers the most. You may call it whatever you want but this is what I really love and it has reasons. And out of all, the foremost reason is that no culture is as rich in its wealth as Punjabi culture and I have yet to read some thing which is as romantic or as painful or as joyful as Punjabi writer's writing are. There is no disrespect to anyone else or any other language but this is what my choice is! There are a lot of writers but few only have power to become immortals with their work. Only some chosen ones have a power to write fire with their words. Out of those few, Shiv Kumar Batalvi  stands apart. It wont ever happen that anyone would be able to touch even the heights where he is with his writing. Its a pity that Shiv had to leave this world so early b...
