Kind of liked this quote that I got as a forward today:

Words make you think a thought.
Music makes you feel a feeling.
A song makes you feel a thought.

kitni baatein yaad aati hain
tasveerein si ban jaati hain
main kaise inhe booloon?
dil ko kya samjhaoon?

Hariharan’s voice was what drew me to this song initially. The soothing music and the simple yet beautiful lyrics later made it one of my all-time favourites.

It is said is the only thing that is constant in life. And the past couple of weeks have been bringing a few changes which have helped me break free from the mundane routine. And it seems like there are going to be some more changes in the weeks to come too. I hope it’s all for good since that is a change that I have been waiting for, for what seems like a long time now.

There is this dialogue in ‘Jab We Met’ which Kareena tells Shahid when they are on the terrace of her house after she runs away from her house. It is something like ‘aage jaake main is pal ko yaad karoongi aur hasoongi’ (or is it ‘hum yaad karenge aur hasenge’? I don’t remember 😕 ) “Live every moment and make it so enjoyable and a memorable one that you will always look back at it fondly without any regrets whatsoever” is what I have been trying hard to practice for the past few weeks. After all, isn’t each and every phase of life a ‘this too shall pass away’ phase? You never know when that constant factor called change will come into play, robbing you of that phase. Of course, I haven’t been all that successful what with some moments turning out to such bad ones that it’s going to take ages to forget those. But still, as the age old adage goes, shouldn’t one try, try and try again till they succeed? 🙂 Here is to life and the many changes it brings with it each and everyday! 🙂

P.S.: ‘thirakkaadha kaaTTu kuLLe’ which am listening to on a loop, seems like an apt song for my current mood for reasons one never can find out since that’s where the magic of the man’s music lies in!!

P.S.1: A comment by naane sometime back is one of the comments in my blog that keeps popping up in my thoughts regularly.

For the first time in quite a few months, I didn’t have company at all in the bus for one whole week, last week. Either I was busy and had to leave late or my friends were busy. But I was so lost in reading ‘The Namesake’, which I had started reading last Tuesday, that I was enjoying reading a book after a long time with a passion I had lost yet again, that I didn’t have time for any other thoughts. But, day before yesterday, when with a ‘Blandings Castle’ book in my hand, I was just vaeDikkai paatthufying, my thoughts wandered a couple of years back.

The time when one of the first few friends whom I made at work became one of my close friends, thanks to our non-stop chatting in the bus about every topic imaginable. Books, blogs, my initial hesitation about whether to start a blog or not, movies, life, future, friends, weekend plans, Monday morning blues, school, college, work, colleagues, our dreams – fulfilled and unfulfilled (or should I say the-then-yet-to-be-fulfilled?) ones, all those china china aasais that one has 🙂 , sunrise/sunset, Marina beach, music, ARR and of course, Sanjay/TMK (She was forced to hear my raving about them despite not even having heard their names before she came to know me! Poor girl! 😉 ) and just about everything else! I suddenly started missing those days! It has been more than a year and a half since she quit her job to pursue her dream of doing her masters. But till this day, no chat of ours is complete without us reminiscing about those days. But for infrequent chats, we are not in touch regularly. But she tells me she reads my blog. 🙂

P.S.: After a long, long time, I wrote, rather typed in my mobile, a post in the bus today evening. And that post, of course, is the one that you finished reading just now 😛

Check this out! Got the link from here.

Eagerly waiting for the movie and of course, the music!
