Ghazal time...

For fans of urdu poetry, like myself ... here's a beautiful one by Ahmed faraz!!

ranjish hi sahi .. dil hi dukhane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe .. chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

pahale se maraasim na sahii .. phir bhi kabhi tou
rasm-o-rahe duniya hi .. nibhane ke liye aa

kis kis ko batayenge .. judaai ka sabab hum
tu mujhse khafaa hai tou .. zamaane ke liye aa

kuch tou mere pindaar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh
tu bhi to kabhi .. mujh ko manaane ke liye aa

ek umr se hoon .. lazzat-e-giriyaa se bhi maharuum
aye raahat-e-jaan .. mujh ko rulaane ke liye aa...

maana ki mohabbat ka .. chhupaana hai mohabbat
chupke se kisii roz .. jataane ke liye aa

jaise tujhe aate hain .. na aane ke bahaane
aise hii kisii roz .. na jaane ke liye aa

ab tak dil-e-khushfeham ko .. tujh se hain ummeden
ye aakharii shammen bhi .. bujhaane ke liye aa

Coorg Trip - The Scotland of India

After planning for a long long time, finally decided to go to Coorg and Wayanad for our first marriage anniversary. Searching through the travel logs and travel blogs gave us some idea of what was there in store for us. Thankful to Sahas for giving me the complete details of the trip. 24-12:6:30AM Started from Bangalore, took the new NICE ring road till Mysore road. After having a quick breakfast at the new Kamat uphar headed towards Srirangapatna. Took the Mysore bypass towards Hunsur. Drove from Virajpet to Gonikoppal to kakabbe. The road from Gonikoppal to kakabbe was single lane and full of potholes. 24-12:11:30AM We were booked at Misty Woods Resort. It is in such a beautiful surroundings that once you reach the resort, it takes away all the strain of the travel. They have only 12 cottages and not much of crowd. The food is also delicious, but you will have to inform them of your preferences before hand. We spent the day in the resort and later visited the Kakkabe palace and the p...

Love Letters - Play performed by Rajit Kapur

Image
I went to the Rangashankara to watch Rahul Da Cunha's version of ‘Love Letters’ . The Pulitzer award winning play written by AR Gurney, describes the romantic and poignant relationship between childhood friends Melissa Gardner (Shernaz Patel) and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (Rajit Kapur) over fifty years. The story unfolds through the letters the two characters have written to one another. The play was first performed in 1988. Shernaz Patel is just so amazing in the way she brings the impetuous Melissa. Even at this age she has so much of charm, its a treat to watch her on stage. Her role of the child's mother in BLACK was excellent. Rajit Kapur is a versatile actor who has no boundaries and leaves me spellbound always. Watch out for some bold dialogs which are a signature of all Rajit Kapur plays. Inspired by Love Letters, Feroz Khan has directed Tumhari Amrita तुम्हारी अमृता adapted by Javed Siddqui and had Farooque Shaikh who plays the politician Syed Zulfiquar Haider and Sha...

Aise he...

Chain kaisa ... jo pehlu mein tu hi nahi maar daale na ... dard-e-judaai kahin rut haseen hai to kya ... chandani hai to kya chandni zulm hai ... aur judai sitam shaam-e-gham ki kasam ... aaj ghamgiin hain hum aa bhi ja ... aa bhi ja ... aaj mere sanam
