happiness

I visited my childhood city yesterday.....i felt it like i used to feel home..years ago.i felt my feet digging into the earth like it was mine, i felt small, being carried, being taken by the scruff of my collar and patted and brushed....i actually felt my parents, and their memory seemed so much more real...it takes so little to feel happiness, a terrain, memories, a voice maybe? why do we deny ourselves and others of this?

Capturing

'it is ringing' (with a bright smile - in 'bheja fry')- Brilliant, simple, honest and vivid. When Cinema signifies these, we have touched the soul of 'art'.

conversation

Hello, ahmed bhai, did i disturb your namaz?? wanted to make sure you send the chairs before the hearse leaves for the funeral mass at St.Peter's Church...Kamala, make sure you clean the sweat off his face in the coffin...
May the lord bless his soul, and the integration of people, of minds and of religions.

Lost

a welcome: sincere and true
an anxious mind: worrying and caring
a proud heart: generous and applauding
a father figure: protecting and nurturing

The Balm

The question is not about who wronged us....it is about 'what went wrong and how'. It is about configurations..of minds, of situations, of perceptions and of the time. Relax! It's ok....

learning about love

Daughters teach you how to love and be loved....

misconception

Advertising is not a Myth, it is Phantasmagoria! Now why didn't i think of this before? Damn!!!

Appreciation

Nice Class! You looked Gorgeous!

मुसलमान औ' हिन्दू है दो, एक, मगर, उनका प्याला,
एक, मगर, उनका मदिरालय, एक, मगर, उनकी हाला,
दोनों रहते एक न जब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में जाते,
बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!।५०।
