I guess there's a old fashioned romantic inside me...The old fashioned love stories which boast of innocent love with a tinge of sentimentalism-it always tugs at my heart strings. Oh yes-I'm the kind who can turn on the taps while seeing a touching scene or an emotional song ;)
And coz of my love for song lyrics-I can go on humming the same song lyrics for ages... This is another one which keeps me entranced-the movie is older than me but even then I've spent the whole evening listening to the song n learning the lyrics by heart ! A different era..different people with different attitudes...but somewhere deep in me-I feel the goodness of the generation back then is lost in the cool attitude dudes n dudettes of todays's Gen Next !
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se Maine Dekha Jo Saanware
Tum Door Nazar Aaye Badi Door Nazar Aaye
Band Karke Jharokhon Ko Zara Baithee Jo Sochne
Man Mein Tumhi Muskaye Man Mein Tumhi Muskaye
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se
Ek Man Tha Mere Paas Woh Ab Khone Laga Hai
Paakar Tujhe Hai Mujhe Kuchh Hone Laga Hai
Ek Tere Bharose Pe Sab Baithee Hoon Bhool Ke
Yoon Hi Umar Guzar Jaye Tere Saath Guzar Jaye
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se...
Jeeti Hoon Tujhe Dekh Ke Marti Hoon Tumhi Pe
Tum Ho Jahan Saajan Meri Duniya Hai Wahin Pe
Din Raat Dua Maange Mera Man Tere Waaste
Kabhi Apni Ummeedon Ka Kahin Phool Na Murjhaye
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se...
Maein Jab Se Tere Pyar Ke Rangon Mein Rangi Hoon
Jaagte Hue Soi Nahin Neendon Mein Jagi Hoon
Mere Pyar Bhare Sapne Kahin Koi Na Chheen Le
Man Soch Ke Ghabraye Yahi Soch Ke Ghabraye
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se...

To Friends & Friendships!
Friends and Friendships... These are two terms, which have come to rival the age-old importance of relatives and family. The old saying “Blood is thicker than water” has certainly lost quite a bit of its sheen in today’s world and it looks as if it’s gonna keep losing more in the years to come. Right from a kindergarten student who dreams of making new friends to the old timers who reminisces about the times they’ve had with their friends in their hey-days, friendships form a vital cog in every person’s life. I’m basically a guy who keeps a lot of store for friendship in life almost rating it with the affection I have for my family. Of course, this does not include the extended family including the various uncles, aunts, cousins etc- that’s certainly a much different level with a much less closeness involved. But that does not mean I have a lot of friends or that I make friends easily. I’m more of the kind who’d stick on with the old friendships rather than venture out and make new ones. Having a reserved n shy nature does in no way help you make lots of new friends. In fact, come to think of it-in most of the close friendships I have now, the first step has never been mine. Somehow, taking the first step is always a big hurdle for me and more often than not, I unerringly falter at it. I have made my share of friends in my life so far but then I’ve never gone out of my way to meet new people or make new friends.
Another thing I do is that I tend to categorize my friends I meet-sheesh that sounds bad!! But believe me-it’s not a kind of judgment passing or evaluation of a person. I would be the last person who’d be able to do that because decision-making is not one of my most prized skills. Thing is, I cannot limit myself in a friendship. Either I’m whole-heartedly into the friendship or I just leave it as an acquaintance. Dunno if it’s good or bad, but that’s how my mind works. I still carry forward a lot of friendships from as back as my lower primary school days. Not that I’ve always been with these people but it’s more like, once there was a good friendship and it still continues to this day. Then there are some, who have changed from being an acquaintance to being close friends thanks to the gazillions of networking sites like Orkut and Facebook. Then there’ve been a few friendships, which start off in a blaze but lose steam in a short while and die off. Maybe it’s coz of the lack of history between the people involved. I mean, when you meet someone, who’s on a different track from you in life, coz of some reason and you bond-it becomes a friendship depending on how much in sync your minds and attitudes are. But then, after a while, the friendship just loses steam n dies out. It’s happened with me at times and I believe those friendships were meant to last out for just a time period and it’s usually to help one person or the other through a rough patch. At least, that’s only the answer I can come up with when I analyze it.
Then there’s the group whom I consider the closest. These are the ones to whom I’ve been totally honest about my life and it’s to these people I turn to when in need. And whether it’s been a patient ear or a comforting hug or a helping hand-they’ve never let me down. And to be honest, I’m a bit biased to this group. They’ve become almost like family! They say you can know a person by the company he keeps-this pertains to the friendships the person has. Among all the people around us, it’s only the friends whom we get to choose to be around us. And so, to my friends who’ve touched my life at one point or another...to my friends who’ve made my life all the more meaning full and happier…to my friends who’ve stuck with me through thick n thin thus far and to all my friends without whom I know I would never be what I am now-this post is dedicated to you! Cheers to the friendship we share!
