tere intazaar mein hum so na sake
raat gahri the phir bhi so na sake
kitne vaadoun tale hum dafn ho chuke the
khwaboun ke sahaare hum uth na sake
phkirr rahti thi raat bhar tere bare mein
teri mehfuz zindagi mein izhaar kar na sake
aaj phir tanha raat guzar rahi hai
bechen taare phir so na sake

Been a
long while
even
the night
is tired
waiting
your
wet lips
and miraculous
touch
I have
waited
for too long
come by
soon
I miss
your kiss

Ab rote hai shab hone par
Dard mein chur tumhe khone par
Kamzor nahi be-bas hai hum
Tere pyaar se zinda rehne par
Kyon naraaz se khoye rehte ho
Hum naadan se hai tere hone par
Aaj na jaao shab hone par
Mar jayenge tumhe khone par

I’ve become mama again. My sister delivered a baby girl. Pictures of the little angel later today!

I am no poet.
I sit
across my desk
wondering
what I could
recite to you
I wish
I were a poet
and could write
my own
beautiful verses
I wish
I could write
at least a couplet
that would tell you
how i feel;
You sometimes
make me feel
like a poet
and I really wish
I were one.

Update: I bought this phone and returned it back to the store after using it for 2 days. Poor Battery Life!
Been following up iPhone since quite sometime now and it already sounds ridiculous to wait for at least 1 year to get a phone like that. Something that comes close to it today is HTC’s new HTC Touch, maybe I’ll grab this Gadget sometime soon. Not wanting to use the phone primarily for Media like Music, Videos and Photos and more for business, HTC is probably worth the ride. It runs Windows, too much to handle for mac fanboy like me

Sandeep Narayan and Swarna Rethas are probably the most well know young and upcoming carnatic musicians learning under Sanjay Subrahmanyan. I had an opportunity to capture a few moments.

This book so far has been great read. In a nutshell:
“Successful marketers don’t talk about features or even benefits. Instead, they tell a story. A story we want to believe.”
