My blue earphones

Heaven’s Eco is what I called it when a friend of mine asked me how the experience of my new earphone is.

Yes, that may sound something excess, but still I was mesmerized by the sound it brings out. It is like your soul is touched when you put them on. The soothing music that goes deep down to your heart and back is that touches your soul unknowingly. You no longer reside in this universe and that is the best thing this set of earphone has given me.

Using it for quite a few days, I felt happy and satisfied that the money that I have invested in it is a total ‘paisa vasool’ type product. But lately, with time I realized that music takes us to some other land, to some other universe or destination which may never exist and this set of earphone is just a gateway to escape from the real world for quite some time.

Music is like a therapy, the more you listen, the more get to know which therapy suits your which mood. My favourite therapy is soulful songs that make your heart beat a time more.  Soulful can never be complete without sufi songs. Sufi songs are those songs that connect you to your beloved, those songs that connect your love to god, those songs that brings love back in your life.

Sufism is something that makes you feel connected deeply with your inner self, and sufi poems, songs are the way to express yourself in a way like never before. Sufi music came into existence around 1000 years back. In the 10^th and 11^th century, soon after Islam entered the country in 8^th century, Delhi Sultanate was having Sufi mystic traditions in it. Sufi music is mainly the devotional music that Sufi poets have brought forth. Rumi (my favourite), Hafiz, Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusrow and Khwaja Ghulam Farid are some eminent sufi poets.

Time passed, but Sufism never left our culture. The practice of Sufi songs is increasing with each new song. A.R.Rahman is someone who has worked on it a lot and all his songs having sufi music has gained acclaim and audience support. Rockstar is such an album that has got some striking sufi tracks that bounds you to listen to it again and again. Every music director is investing themselves in experimenting with such new music and bollywood has received some great sufi works and may be more to come.

Alike sufi teachings that is based on divine spirituality, cosmic harmony, love and humanity , the music also comes up with same thoughts and similar feel. Every song inspired by Sufi Poem is in itself a way to get connected to love-unconditional love that passes straight from heart to God. I am glad that my ear phone is doing some spiritual work for me to connect me with my soul and vice versa.

Ending this note with one of my favourite Rumi quote “Your body is away from me but there is a window open from my heart to yours. From this window, like the moon. I keep sending news secretly.”

Her Best Friend...

And then one day she suddenly saw her.

Awestruck by the way her best friend looked.

She tried not to recognise her first, but her 12 years attachment was not less to ignore it.

Straight and silky hair tied in different way she had never seen before, face had lost that innocence which was the best thing her best friend had, eye lashes where not the original ones, lips were pouted and bright colours were painted on it. Her best friend’s eyes had a wall of bizarre coloured contact lense that made her uncomfortable to even glance at her. The clothes her best friend wore were rags. A perfectly crafted body with some heavy makeup on it, a different attitude and even a very different smile was all her best friend had now.

Nothing she knew of her matched the way now.

Yes, her best friend has changed.

Long conversations, daily fights, kisses, hugs, playing together, serving punishment together, sharing lunch, breakfast, pencil box, copies, books and many more were the memories she carried in her heart for years before this day.

A simple hi was also tough for her. She thought for a while and turned back not to get noticed by the same girl who was once her soul sister.

Changed Time!!

Those Black Shades aka 'Kala Chashma'

Katrina's Killer abs- I really do not understand that what is so much killer in her abs?

Ok, I know that she is beautiful, curvy, good looking, charming and so on. But her abs, can be termed as ribs as well are not killing at all. Looking at them, it is like she is hit by mal nutrition. This generally happens when people undergo lack of food that has displaced them (the abs) out from its exact position. She looks skinny and sick as well. Though ‘Kala Chashma’ is one of the trending item numbers of the year, still do you really feel that Katrina's new avatar is making people go gaga over her.

I doubt.

In this time frame when actresses are hit by voluptuous shape, Katrina reminds me of Kareena in ‘Tashan’. Kareena introduced us with a new term, “zero size figure”. It was something that took our breaths away when she sported the look for the movie. But the look looked as disheartening as the movie itself. Being a multi starrer also, the stars were unable to save the movie from drowning. One good thing that was a life changing event for Saifeena was that the actors got hitched and the Pataudis got their new begum.

Now, let's again come back to Katrina’s Abs and her dance moves. I was simply wondering that like us, normal human beings, is this a break up effect that made Katrina Killer with her abs.

Enough of it. Let us share something good for her as well, though I know that my good or bad words will not affect her any way. Still when I have criticized her looks so much, so good words needs to be said which is true and should be mentioned. There is no hesitation in saying that Katrina can be termed as a great dancer. She has showcased her dance moves in many items numbers which turned out to be the biggest hits of all time. ‘Kala Chashma’ is also one such dance number which has received millions of viewers. The song is a recreated version and like the original version it too became very popular and is gaining good position in the playlists. Gujarati version also is out for listeners and viewers to take a look at.

Last but not the least, enjoy the kala chashma song with chashma or without chashma.

The Replica...

That night was one of the most romantic night that arrived after years. Nothing could stop that night from being romantic. Nature was at its best and both were together after a long time. The distance between them never conquered their love and emotions. It was eternal. It was not to be understood, but just to be felt. 

Winds were touching their bodies but it seemed that they touched their souls. Dust was all around them, but still affection covered them intensely. raindrops fell on them and they were drenched in it, like love. falling on them and wetting them like never before. 

He was the same, she never changed. It seemed that those years in between never came. It was like yesterday when they met. 

The steps they took were of similiar distance. It was a way that helped both of them to know that yes, they can still walk together side by side. Soulmates were walking and the sky was delivering its best to make them remember the walk for long. 

They never touched each other, neither did they want to. The appeal between them were the words, the gestures, the expressions and the warmth that their hearts carried for the other.

Their conversations were not normal and people who would have heard them may never understand what they conveyed. They just spoke their heart out, being brutally honest to each other. 

Infact, they were even not clear the relation both of them had. It was quite confusing for them to get the right term. But everyone who heard their story, found them to be the replica of the other. 

When people asked them what they were to each other. They only thought of one word "Mirror".

Kiss to Kasauli..

“Till now we do not have any news of the car”, said my colleague. Please call him and confirm that is he coming or not. I was a bit puzzled as all of us have packed our bags and are super excited for the trip to begin. I called the driver, a Sardar whose name was not known to anyone of us. We addressed him as a sardar only. How strange it is that we know a person not by name, but by their religion and get up. I called him up, he received my call and said “Yes madam ji, midway to reach NFC”. I sighed a heave of breath as we still are on the trip to Kasauli.

Kasauli, a small hill station in Himachal Pradesh. Many of us are not aware of this place at all, until the day I searched for some offbeat places to visit from Delhi. The images of the place were so appealing that I was not able to stop myself from visiting. I immediately called up my gang of girlfriends and shared them the very thought to witness the scenic beauty the very next week.

Me and my gang, all of us are crazy people and unlimitedly active ones as well. It was within a week we planned our trip, our stay and also our way to reach the destination. Road trip was the ideal and the best way to reach, as per me. But others were in a dilemma as they thought it to be quite unsafe to make the move. I insisted to make this happen and lastly with all the motivation and cheering up, it was a YES from all.

Finally the car arrived and we all made an entry to it with all the excitement and joy. It was all a different feeling. A first time ever road trip, a bunch of people whom I know the best, some great cameras with us and desire to visit a new place all by yourself. The list also included the handmade breakfast that each one of carried with us for the entire group.

After a 5.5 hours ride, we finally landed to Kasauli, a small yet beautiful place that has some serene beauty within it. Reaching the place was a treat for us as it carried the beauty and the awesome weather with it. Away from this hot burning weather of Delhi, we found peace and calmness in that small place. Kasauli is place where you will get time for yourself, for your soul and for your disturbed mind. It heals up everything that is wounded in those few hours of your stay.

Basically it is a one day trip, but if you want to extent it for 2-3 days, I think the place will not mind in giving you the same warmth and love that you received at once. So, folks, take a break and visit the place which is far yet near to you. A small trip with friends, family and your special one will sure be something to be remembered and cherished for years to come.

I know I am not a regular writer, but that does not limit me from writing up whenever i feel like. Its been a long time i haven't written anything here. I know people never missed me here, because no one remembers.
In this world of promotion and advertising, you need to advertise yourself, promote yourself to retain yourself.
But this has never made me upset. I too belong to this society and i too do the same for people.
Insufficient time is something that people give reason to hide their ignorance for the other. I too do the same for many.
 We all are busy in our respective lives, with our own work. Having time for someone is a big thing and sometimes it becomes like the other should be grateful as you have cut out some time for them.
But for how long will this excuse or reason work out? Are we really busy? Don't we have time for ourselves, to eat, to sleep, to pamper ourselves, to make out time for things we like?
All of us have time for things we like to do, or want to do. We make out time. End of the day priority matters and the time that a person gives to you levels your priority in the life of that person for you.
So, spent your time wisely on those who deserve the same.
