what is important?

The other day... actually yesterday... we were coming back from somewhere.. a long drive and i was very sleepy and tired... a nice song was playing in the background and i wanted to sing along... but i was so tired that even singing along seemed like a thing for which i will have to make an effort.... imagine!! this has never happened to me before in my knowledge!! never ever!

this got me thinking... if it wasn't for my voice how would i communicate... as far as i know most people communicate through words and sounds 90 percent of the times if not more.... and considering this you would assume that talking will be a fairly advanced means of communication... as in man has been working at it for so many centuries now,.... of course it should be advanced and almost perfect means of communication..... but no.... words fail miserably when trying to explain anything of importance.... we depend so much on other senses.... like sense of smell... sense of sight.... even sense of touch sometimes.... like how do u explain an 'Apple' to someone who hasn't ever seen/tasted an apple.... how??? it is red in colour... and it is a fruit... almost spherical but with bumps at top and bottom.. it tastes sweet.... had you not seen an apple would you have been able to imagine what i am talking about.... everything we say and we talk about and think is so limited by what we have experienced.... that i think we humans have very limited imagination.... lets take the example of 'the bee movie' when he talks about the bee world... he makes it so similar to the human world... going to office going to college etc etc... having friends... having bosses.... this is our world.... not their world i don't know what i am trying to say...

see lets say i want to tell someone how i feel about that someone... OK lets say i want to tell my mom how i feel about her... what can i say??? i love you???? i love my fav song also but that's not the same..... how can i ever tell her what i feel.....

the point being we have very narrow imagination.... and whatever imagination/thoughts we have we cannot even express those... how limited is the interface we have with the outside world.... we as a community and we as a person.... first i cant imagine/feel a large plethora of things and then i cant even express the ones i know/feel/experience..... how into ourselves we all are..... and how little thought we give it!!!



i don't know......

if you'r happy and u know it ... clap your hands...

If you are happy and you know it and you really want to show it... clap your hands.....
If you are happy and you know it and you really want to show it... Tap your feet.....

Right now I am in a "I am happy and I want to write" mood.... The kind of happiness when you feel life is beautiful.... when you appreciate the small flowers on the side walk.... in fact when you find beauty in the traffic signal timer too!!! when you look at strangers and smile.... when you don't mind if someone overtakes you in a queue.... when there is music in the telephone ring..... when there is contentment... when there is no hurry for anything.... when you feel like helping people.... when you smile for no apparent reason.... and it is not a forced smile.... when with this smile your eyes smile too.... and so do the people around you...... when all of a sudden things are put in a very different perspective....... i am in this mood now.... and i feel mine 'is the Earth and everything that's in it'.... I feel like reading poetry..... I feel like being a poem!!!

Clap my hands.....
tap my feet....

Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco

Disclaimer: The blog's got nothing to do with the title... but i just like this song for being as arbit as it is!! 'picchle mahine ki 26 ko' so here u are!!!

I dont know what to write... but it is a Friday and i dont feel like working... and its not even as if i am loaded with work or anything that i have to have to finish it.... waiting for updates/inputs etc etc which means really no work.... so here i am writing a blog titled 'Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco' how free can you get!! and this isn't even my fav song these days!! My fav song these days is "maujaan hi maujaan... shaam sawere hun maujaan hi maujaan..... oh maahi mera sharbat warga... oh maahi tainu gat gat peejaan... oh maahi mera dil mainu de de dil mainu de de khul ke jee laan... mithre haase oh maahi mere aase paase......." the song is soooo nice!!! somehow makes me want to dance!!! and amazingly it plays on one of the radio channels on my way to office! no wonder i am in a good mood all through the day :-)
oh maahi mera sone warga... oh maahi tainu chum chum rakhna....

do u know what happened today... for the first time in my entire life someone said to me "shakal se lagta hai aap bahut bolte hoge" otherwise generally it is... after knowing me for a long time ppl tell me when i first met you i thought u were a very quiet 'shareef' kind of a girl... now i know how mistaken i was!!! so i am used to hearing that; was kind of taken aback when this person tells me looks like u talk a lot!!!! nice nice... seems like lots of changes happening around me!!!

Somethings you just wouldnt do

There are somethings in life you just wouldnt do... just wouldnt... for me this includes drinking "bad" coffee.... bad by my standards... I love my coffee and i want it just right... i am not very finicky about it... i dont want it to be a particular temperature or with a particular ratio of milk/water/steam/coffee/sugar.... it just has to be pleasing to my palette.... and what i almost hate... abhor... is dispenser coffee.... somehow it tastes bad... it tastes as if it will upset your stomach!!! but i had it today.... i had no other option... what with having driven for 4 hours and finally sleeping at 3.30 AM last nite i was ofcourse sleepy... i wouldnt have wanted anything more than a cup of decent coffee.... but no... Gods must be in a good mood today... in a lets have fun and irritate everyone mood today.... so i get this entirely miserable coffee.... i left half a cup despite being very sleepy!!! very very sleepy :(
the only thing i asked before coming to this place was do we get decent coffee here? i knew work wouldnt be a problem... anyway i dont think i am very ambitious... food obviously isnt since its home made :-)....but coffee (in office)... ofcourse one needs his/her decent cup everyday... everyone should be allowed atleast that much!
but no I had to come here... where they dont serve decent coffee.... where they charge you 12 rupees and give u a small cup of dispenser coffee... which anyway is for free in the pantry... now i am just trying to figure out how costly will my coffee be if i drive from here to the nearest coffee shop and back.... i love coffee but 100 rupees a cup will obviously be a bit too much! not counting the time wasted!!!
Let me figure out!!
