Only You

I wish you could see me right now. 
Because, only you would have noticed the details on my face. 
Only you.

If you would have, you would have noticed my lips before anything else.
And I would have seen the most honest smile of yours, as if you're proud of them. 
Or a naughty smile, about the thoughts of eating them already.
Either this, or you would have asked "You used a lip color, didn't you?"
And grinned about it.

You would have noticed my smile and would have said, "It's nothing in comparison to the smile you gave me in the room. That was the widest."

You would have noticed my teeth and smiled.

You would have noticed my hair. And like always, removed the band and loosened my curls.
You would have ruffled them, pushed a few strands of my hair on my face and then slowly tucked them behind my ear getting all romantic.

You would have noticed my dangling earrings and admired them. You would have even bent down a bit to kiss me below my right ear.

Or perhaps, you would have just noticed the extra kohl in my eyes today. 
And in a closer look, realized, it's smudged.

And then noticed the dried tears on the cheeks...

Saturday Night

Winter leads me to the fireplace

With some thoughts of you, a few poems from the past and this diary;
Perhaps tonight I will find some solace..

The week seeks its end
Like the heart seeks your voice.
But the threads have broken, the colors are now lost
And the heart's not okay either.
I guess, it's just trying to pretend..

The clouds cover the stars today
The tears are covered by the firelight.
Somehow, I know this revived darkness dwelling in me won't culminate..

Leaving some whispering words on your lips..
It used to be special always-
Every week, at the end, one Saturday night.  

Day 3

Part of the *The 30 Day blog Challenge*

Day 3 - My favorite TV serials.

I had taken up this challenge long back but dropped it. Now continuing. 
It's gonna be a trip down the memory lane. :)

           1. Rishta.Com

When the Yash Raj Films stepped down into the television industry,they created not one, not two, but a whole bundle of amazing TV series.
Among all those, Rishta.com will always top my list.
The chic, sincere, well organised, workaholic Isha (Shruti Seth) and the hot, witty, flirty, never-ready-for-commitment Rohan (Kavi Shastri) made the perfect bosses of this matrimonial agency, Rishta.com.
I personally loved this series for two reasons-
One: The beautiful portraying of Isha and Rohan's different perceptions about the life and situations. Total opposite personalities but, the bond rocked. 
Not to forget, their verbal wrestles were a total hit for me.

Two: The way they showed different Indian men, women, families and rishteys and the whole concept of arranged marriages. Also, varied mindsets and ideologies of Indian people and culture was interestingly put up.
Okayy! Make it three! Because you just cannot miss Kavi Shastri - his hot personality, his witty sense of humor and of course, his accent. Oh and also his smile, his charm, his way with girls, and his .. you see, I can go on and on and on. I still have a bigg crush on him and it will last forever. :P
No kidding! I have downloaded the entire series for him! [Those interested, can contact me! ;)]

    2. Seven

This TV series was an exotic one.
It showed seven ordinary people- Asmin, Haryaksh, Drishika, Mastishk, Varya, Eklavya and Hriday- bestowed with different extra ordinary powers to fight against the evil on earth and solving the Ashvamedh prophesy in connection to Mahabharata. With the help of the nine books that taught them nine new abilities and powers, and their two guardians Shunya and Shlok, they defeat the villain Asht and return back to their normal life after Shlok deletes their memory.
The symbiosis of mystery, mythology, puzzles, modern characters and philosophy was enough for a prolonged contemplation! I loved it.

          3. Mahi Way

Who on earth can't relate to Mahi's character? If you have seen this serial, I am sure, at some point, even you felt that it was your heart speaking up in Mahi's voice. Whether it was her battle at office with her boss Ramona or her colleagues Sona & Mona; or her love/crush/relationship issues with Ishaan and Shiv- it all seemed so real. There were things that you could totally relate too. Her relationship with her high-on-pride sister, her younger brother, her parents and her friends Sid and Roshni were just, like picked up from our lives. The best parts were with no doubt her in-her-head conversations. Just like her, we all think that way.. But never admit it in public or even to ourselves with pride.

4. Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai

Reading the name itself brings a huge smile to our faces. Do I even need to say more about this show? :D
I'll just leave this with a treasure - you can have a ROFL while again watching the entire series here. Absolute gold. You can thank me later! ;)


       5. The Disney Hour

This list will be incomplete without this one. The Disney Hour with Vishal Malhotra. Aired on Sony Channel in the late 90's, this show was one of those serials we all grew up watching. Cartoons like Duck Tales, Chip n' Dales, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Talespin, Timon and Pumbaa, Little Mermaid, Alladin, 101 Dalmatians, Hercules, Mickey Mouse, etc. fascinated me so much. And then Vishal used to read out letters from viewers and distribute Disney goodies. Aah! Good old days and fond memories! :D 

Talk to the hand.

I have no huge story of how we became friends.
It was the first semester of our graduation. August 2010.
After one of the last lecture of one of the initial days of August, while we were moving out of our class, I noticed he was walking right behind me. I made up my mind, just turned around and said,
"Hi! I am Priyanka."
"Hi! Sahil."
We shook hands and started talking on the way to the parking. From that day, we haven't stopped ever!
We talk and blabber and debate and argue and bore each other till death. Because mutual pakana is important!
We can talk about anything and everything under the sun. And have conversations that only we both can understand while sitting in a group. (Yes! I know, I know that's rude. But nobody else seems to understand what we are talking about. :P)
We make the best team for projects, assignments. Probably because, hamare nakhre sirf ham dono hi jhel sakte hain. Baki koi toh hamare naam ki supari de dega. :P 

As he keeps saying this all the time!

He has to make fun of everything I do.
Three years of graduation have made me realize that this guy is just impossible!
I just keep praying to God for these two more years of post graduation now. :P

Yes, I have a million and ten complains with this guy. 

[Please start coming for movies on time!]
But then again, those are written on a never ending scroll, neatly rolled and dumped in the sea because it doesn't matter. For I know, he'll be there always.
We all have that one person whom we call stupid names, abuse in their face, 

keep bickering with all the time but adore them to death. 

I guess, best friends are like that!

So this one's for you, bitch! Today when you turn.. what 47? I wish you all the happiness of the world.

Stay awesome! Happy Birthday! :D
Oh and he, also, is a blogger (His Blog). :)

Doomed

Our country is a funny one. Actually, people here are funny. 
Everybody will go around calling Manmohan Singh “mute”, “Sonia Gandhi’s puppet”, etc., but when questioned, we won’t even know the reasons why he is where he is or simpler, even his powers. 
When questioned about how Congress is formed, we go blank but we abuse them openly. 
When Sachin Tendulkar played, made records, and won laurels for the country, he was made the God. But we wanted him to retire because he was aging. 
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the best captain team India could ever have until we lost some series back to back. We think Akshay Kumar is an entertainer, but not an actor. 
It's so easy to question a classmate's or a colleague's character if we know of their drinking/ smoking habits. A friend who has loved and lost or cheated upon or got ditched and that's why has been dating more than a couple of people is easily tagged with various names that I wouldn't want to mention here. 
A boy and a girl sitting in a coffee shop have to be a couple always. Why they being friends or simply cousins are faraway thoughts? 
And if we see any mis-matched couple on a marriage reception stage, we immediately assume, “Love Marriage hogi!” or “Dahej kam dena pada hoga!” or any other silly reasons. 
Sorry, judgments.
What I really want to say by quoting these examples is that we people, judge anything and everything. It seems we have taken the freedom of expression way too seriously. As if, it’s a ritual!
We could go and bag the Nobel Prize for it. (If there will be one such ever.)
We have a habit of giving out our opinions regarding anything, whether asked or not for it. We just want to say because we want to be seen or noticed or considered a part of the group. We won’t ever have valid points to debate but will keep on shouting just for the sake of it.
It is true that we have a real hard time accepting things as and what they are. Be it be anything.

I guess before concluding anything about anyone, one should really not be cynical. And we shouldn't bind ourselves to judgments. After all, we hardly know about their journey.
