to summon a djinn

you first need to know its name ...

and he slumbered on

not knowing that Spring was
tickling the winter'd grass
nudging awake the trees and
the Sky had started wearing
her best blue ...

silent cold windy night

on my balcony miles away from home,
Kishore-da,O-Saathi-Re brings me back
in a jiffy
We used to call this selection of
songs 'dard-unlimited', works best
when mixed with alcohol ( or,
maybe not, as I just
realized )
raath hai khwab ki
the nights of wonder
Thank God for them

the beginning of winter

first there's "can't-wait-for-it-to-happen"
then comes "it's-happening-but-it's-gonna-end-someday-sob-sniff"
then comes "am-not-getting-into-it-it-never-lasts"

then comes the winter.

The best laid plans o' mice and men gang aft agley. I think I'll go back to watching T.V.
