Boondh..

Lets race time.
Lets color the dark.
Lets drain the desserts.
Lets divulge in vacuum.
Lets count the clouds of rain.
Lets drink from the half empty glass.
Lets read the canvas.
Lets dance to the beating heart.
Lets make love in war.
Lets hold sand.
Lets please the rich.

Lets do what we fear and become fearless.

A walk down memory lane..

My phone rings, I look, it says 'Bilal-pak' and I smile :) Bills is one of my most favorite people in the entire world! He's a rock star in its true meaning - plays the guitar in this insanely amazing way, doesn't shower for weeks, can eat the same meal (qdoba burrito) three times a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, you can always lose something in his room, does no work but all play and is a complete whack head! And it just so turns out that this rock star, is coming to the United States in a week - he says it's for work but I know secretly how much he's missing me :D

Everytime I think bilal a memory flashs through my head and that is of this one fine performance he gave to me in private 2 years ago! He lived 2 floors below me during my junior year in Madison - he hated his roommate and mine was never home. So both us jobless folk would sit around all day, eat maggie and watch the corniest hindi movies, examplie - haan maine bhi pyaar kiya!! And through this process, we stumbled upon 'mangal panday' and there was particular dance sequence performaned by rani mukherjee and for some odd reason, bills fell in love with it. After continously watching it for 2 months, one fine evening, bills gets up and positions himself on the floor right in front of me and reinacts the entire song and mind you, way way better than rani!! :) That was definately a sight for sore eyes and I am lucky enough to capture it on video. I intended on playing it at his wedding but too late for that now..the bugger has already been married for 6 months. How time flies by..
