mod

I don't understand what this song means but good poetry nevertheless.

=========================
is mod se jaate hain kuchh sust kadam raste kuchh tez kadam raahen
patthar ki haweli ho sheeshe ke gharondon men tinkon ke nashe man tak is mod se jaate hain
is mode se jaate hain..

aandhin ki tarah udkar ik raah gujarti hai
sharmati huyee koi kadmon se utarti hai
in reshmi raahon men ik raah to vo hogi
tumtak jo pahunchti hai is mod se jaati hai
is mod se jaate hain..

ik door se aati hai paas aake palati hai
ik raah akeli see rukti hai na chalati hai
ye soch ke baithee hun ik raah to vo hogi
tum tak jo pahunchti hai is mod se jaati hai
is mod se jaate hain kuchh sust kadam raste
kuchh tez kadam raahen
patthar ki haweli ho sheeshen ke gharondon men tinko ke nashe man tak
is mod se jaate hain
is mod se jaate hain.

idle time thoughts

hear to 'i'll kill you' from Enigma. Gupt music is not original. So disheartening...

have you ever known a person a lot and then forgotten him completely? some people have this amazing out of sight out of life policy. not saying I am not one of them. but then3 sometimes those memories haunt you....

It's been about three weeks since I landed in Houston. Same old place. few more outlets here and there. but that's about it. Moved to an apartment this time for a change. Used to stay in a hotel earlier. On the holi/good friday weekend went to New-Orleans for site seeing. Lovely place on the bank of missisipi river with the longest bridge in the world.

Found this mustard pouch the other day on which it was written as a precaution
'Can not be used as a floating device'. :)

Had the first cooking disaster of my life when tried to make 'poha' or 'poya' whatever you like to call it. poha banate banate halwa ban gaya. Had to throw it altogether but now I can cook noodles and rice in microwave!!!

oh and btw you know why one should have coke? I'll tell you why

On my second day of arrival in this place I headed for walmart brought some veggies and canned peas and corns. Love them. They make fried rice so tasty without any effort. but the next day I found that the peas were smelling badly and corn was a mess. well this happens I thought and threw them. then we went for new orleans trip. so three days later when I returned I found that all the veggies were all watery and junk and stuff. had to throw all of them. (poor spinach..). Next day evening I opened first coke can and then and then and then (ok really this is the very first time I am using three "and then"s. Now while three "but then"s make your doubt so very effective, three "and then"s don't seem to make any difference. anyway.) so then was when I realized that the refrigerator was not working as the coke was not cold at all. damn damn damn. seven days and so many veggies and peas and corn later I find out that the damn fridge is not working.
so this tells two things. How we take it for granted that fridge is something you buy and forget all about it. It just works day and nite, winter and summer, morning and evening. ok you got the idea.
the other is some one " PLEASE WAKE ME UP".
