Some poetry from the movie Udaan

हर बाल की खाल की यह छाल भी खा जाए|
इसके हाथ पड़े तो महीने साल भी खा जाए|

किसी बेहाल का बचा जो हाल भी हाल खा जाए|
बेमौत मरते मन का ये मलाल खा जाए|

लालू का लाल खा जाए नक्सलबारी की नाल खा जाए|
बचपन का धमाल खा जाए, बुढापे की शाल खा जाये |

हया तो छोडो बहाया की छल भी खा जाए|
और अगर परोसा जा सके तो ख़याल भी खा जाए|

छोटी छोटी चित्रायी यादें
बिछी हुई है लम्हों की लौ पर
नंगे पैर उनपर चलते चलते
इतनी दूर चले आये
कि अब भूल गए है -
जूते कहाँ उतारे थे

एडी कोमल थी, जब आये थे
थोड़ी सी नाजुक है अभी भी
और नाजुक ही रहेगी
इन खट्टी-मीठी यादों कि शरारत
जब तक इनहे गुदगुदाती रहे

सच, भूल गए है
कि जूते कहाँ उतारे थे
पर लगता है,
अब उनकी ज़रुरत नहीं...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
जो लहरों के आगे तुम देख पाते तो तुम जान लेते मैं क्या सोचता हूँ,
वो आवाज़ तुमको जो भिड जाती तो तुम जान लेते मैं क्या सोचता हूँ,
जिद का तुम्हारा जो पर्दा सरकता तो खिडकियों से आगे भी तुम देख पाते,
आँखों से आदतों की पलकें हटाते तोह तुम जान लेते मैं क्या सोचता हूँ.

मेरी तरह खुद पर होता जरा भरोसा तो कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते,
रंग मेरी आँखों का बनते थे जरा सा तो कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते,
नशा आसमान का जो चूमता तुम्हे भी, हसरतें तुम्हारी नया जनम पाती,
खुद दुसरे जनम में मेरी उड़ान छूने कुछ दूर तुम भी साथ-साथ आते.

Microsoft annual party..Phbbbbt :P

When I joined Microsoft 5 months back, the only "fun" thing that was talked around by masses used to be Microsoft annual party. E-mails were sent month in advance for the event. The placards and posters were put up a week in advance. And subsequent e-mails were sent requesting entry passes/drink coupons among pals as pre-cursor to the event. Finally, the D-day arrived.
The typical somber mood in office made it very difficult to believe that "the" party on tonight. The first few moments at the event venue did set the tone for the event. But the delay in beginning of the celebrity show  coupled with lack of "single" junta to hang around with, left me wandering around alone at the venue for almost half an hour. Only bright spot being an IITK batch mate innocently asking a question "Akele aaye ho?" and the slogan "Hail IITK!" when I replied in affirmative. Finally just before the show began, entire gang managed to assemble in one place closest to the stage.And we all said let the party begin!
We welcomed Mr. Kunal Ganjawala with a very innocent question "Late kyo aaye?".  This was followed by chanting of "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" and "Jai Maharashtra" in response to his initial two damn boring songs. All our best efforts including lifting a friend in the air some 10 times did not help in keeping the party tempo up.  He did manage to salvage some pride by singing some Kishore Kumar songs and then "Bheege honth" twice at the end of the show. But overall he sucked so much that Newton might have withdrawn his gravity theory after listening his performance tonight. Even some unknown female singer ended up outshining him by chanting the holy names of "Sheila" and "Munni". 
Finally with the celebrity out of the picture, the super-cool awesome DJ gave us a chance to rock the dance floor and have some fun! And we left after having dinner at midnight and saying good night to some dumb-asses who wanted the party hall empty before 1 AM!
