Promises are meant to be broken

"Promise breaker shoe maker" ...... " Promises honored are a persons honor" etc etc... This is all we learnt as we grew up about how a persons credibility and their character is judged through their ability to keep their promises.

A promise is one's word that something will be done an assurance... It is a hope, a possibility of things materializing... It's a security... It is something sacred...

Though the whole concept has changed today, we use it in such callousness and not care about it. "Hey I promise I'll be there".... "I promise I will do it".... "I give you my word for it".... "I assure you things are all right".... mostly whenever these phrases are used they mean quite the opposite.. there definitely are no intentions of being kept.... and when they are made to a loved one and then broken well it bring a lot of wrath upon u..... So that does become a point of concern...

But sometimes things get slightly complicated.... A promise is made to you and with that assurance you start treading fields that were unknown to you.... you reach where you might never have, just because you have that assurance as a support.... and in time when that promise is broken... you do get disappointed, but your spirit doesn't falter and this time you move on..... few words that i had written resonate what i have said in these few last lines.....

Five Words
Five words
Just five mere words
Upon which a friendship stood.
Five words that meant
Meant more than anything.
Five words that said -
I won't let you break.
Words that gave me strength.
Five words which made me again
think high,
made me want to fly,
wanting to reach the sky
which had inscribed upon it
No limit ..... Soar on... Fly high
I dreamt of reaching for the stars
which shimmered and twinkled
so pure so bright....
I started trusting again,
waiting to see the rainbow
after the rain....
Started blossoming like a flower...
And forgot all my grief and pain,
and set objectives again..
started on a journey
to achieve them
for now i had you to push me
as my strength.
But then the dream got over...
Reality struck again
History repeats it self
This time it was you
who gave the pain....
This time i broke
but it wasn't all that bad
For you had made me learn
lessons of life.
You taught me, life goes on and on
though, between us it may be an end,
But you'll find a friend, just around the bend
With that thought inside me again
Rebuilt on the ashes on my pain.
I knew
Someone will come as my strength
Someone will come as a friend
Someone will just come and whisper
these five magic words again
I won't let you break
And just take away pain....

Just been long time...

This is something i had read and loved.... and my teacher gave this to me as an inspiration to write... it is really long long ago... but i wanted it to be a part of the posts.... i still have it with me... teacher, you gave me wings... you gave me flight... my feelings became words and i got confidence to write....


Let me be
the thought you think
but do not speak
that secret treasure
you in solitude seek.

Let me be
the wind you feel
but cannot possess;
that beauty of nature
without access

Let me be
the voice which is distant
yet always near;
that memory you cannot share
but is forever dear

Let me be
the bond without strings
untouched by fear,
the bright day
when the sky is clear

Let me be
that smile you smile
but cannot satisfy
that longing you have
for 'us' to satisfy....

Just been long time...

This is a promise, i silently made to my friends... some of them knew about it some of them didn't... It's not like it mattered.... But its something i've tried to stand by.... even though its very immature and too idealistic....But once upon a time these are the standards i had set for myself and so try to live up to them.... Again this too was written long long ago...

When we are miles apart
When things wrong
And things seem like a sad song
I'll be there, Go on and on

When darkness covers you
and sunlight can't penetrate through
I'll be there, Go on and on

When tears roll down
and you can't help but frown
I'll be there, Go on and on

When you need someone to care
and there isn't anyone to share
I'll be there, Go on and on

When you're covered with shock
and you need someone to talk
I'll be there, Go on and on

When you can't handle anymore and think it's the end
And the path seems to narrow along the bend
I'll be there, Go on and on

I'll be there like a melody to your ears
I'll be there as a ray of hope to brighten your day
I'll be there to brings you the smile on your face
I'll be there just to be a patient listener
I'll be there as a companion to make your way easy
I'll be there to fill magic in your life
I'll be there like the rainbow filled with colours
I'll be there as your shadow
I'll be there in your heart
But most of all I'll be there as your friend
So don't worry....I'll be there, Go on and on

Just been long time...

More of the randomness, I had penned down long long ago.....


SShhh .... Quiet

Listen
to what I don't say

Read my eyes
which are moisten
even though

i have a smile

on my face...


Read and understand
the pain thats hidden i
n me
even when i'm
jumping around
to fill,
all around

with joy and cheer


Look within me

and see how
things
are trapped

taking help of a
pencil
to let out

in words that
have
been
skillfully woven

instead of having

your shoulder

to cry on

I wish you
had eyes
that
could see or
ears that
could hear
even now when
my silence
speaks
and shouts

searching for you

to listen
what
i don't say....

Just been long time...

I found a few pages from here and there.... i had penned them down a long ago.... they are quite random but have a funny connection today... so just putting them down....

The bridge over troubled waters...

where even the thoughts begin to shatter

Confusion of thoughts, cluttered in the mind

Whether or not to move on, leaving everything behind

Whether to invest time and let everything to shape about

All that has lost meaning and completely messed out

Just to let go of everything that's been in my heart and on my mind

And not care about people who have been ' Two steps Behind'......

Don't know what tommorow ; the future holds for me
Something good, its bound to be...

There will be sunshine at the end of the night

Things will again fall in place and be right...

But, for the time being, mind loses its control over its thoughts,
Confusion, anxiety persist and things remain entangled in knots...

The bridge over troubled waters...

Where things stop to matter.....

Crib

Ok this is really very funny as far as i remember, every time i complained my mom turned around and said " Nami stop cribbing".... I mean yes I have heard the word in many other contexts ; cots, people homes etc. but mostly in the complain context only.... and somehow the same meaning as in crib meaning complain doesn't exist on the net... so before i go forward an ardent request to anyone who reads this post.... if you by any chance come across the meaning of crib as i have known it please give me the link so that i can alter my post...

Now what i intended to say before i started this post is completely different. We all crib, its human nature ... Mummy the food's not nice.... I wanted a pink shirt and you got me a blue one.... oh what the hell, the trailers to the movie were so much better than the movie actually was.... Why is my food getting delayed, why can't i ever get it on time.... yada yada yada.... and more blah blah blah... ya too many reasons to crib about.... But you know cribbing is of two kinds - useful ( I'm telling you it can be) and useless, the later ones being all the examples above and some like ; it's hot in Delhi .... Yes in the month of May and June it is hot in Delhi ... Christ, it rains too much in Mumbai... Yes in the rainy season it always rains too much in Mumbai.... So when someone cribs like this all i feel like doing is turning around and saying Duuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh!!!!!..... I mean i am a very very understanding person and I can empathise a lot, but sorry not on reasons like these... Please Forgive Me.....

Useful cribbing when most of the times our parents crib ; why are you sitting useless... do something constructive....clean your room... eat proper healthy food..I get to listen to it most of the time,yes if one tries to act on those well it could turn out to be a blessing.... Or when these days most of us turn around and crib to God... Please make it Rain... Yes we need those, there are lot of forest fires happening, lots of crop being spoilt because of no rain, water levels are going done.. can't have that happening... so every time we crib about rain not happening, our collective prayer is being sent and He just might listen to us soon enough. When we crib more bitch about our near and dear ones... if only he could do this... if only she would understand that this irritates me, yes we all endlessly crib about our own people wanting them to change in someway if not more, well if that near and dear one understands the reason of your cribbing and changes. Your cribbing might just have worked, it could be useful, but sometimes it brings in distance so beware....

So all I want to say is Crib lot more people if it makes sense....coz when you crib with mind you could bring about a good change.... and that's good in most of the cases.. we don't need stagnancy in our life do we.....but..... if it doesn't make sense.... spare the people around you ... you could well be perceived as a cynic... we don't want that happening do we.....

Movies..... Masti...Magic

Yes, the tittle is borrowed and so is the content of this post..... I am publishing it in public ( NIDHI and SAGAR ) interest... you see i know few people who are not clued in with our most cliche movies and the dialogues that appear in them, which in turn becomes dangerous to their health because certain people take offense to their ignorance of the Bollywood. This one's for them. The dialogues appearing in this mail are not in a chronological order, only how they came to my mind, most of em should have the movie with them but if they don't please again leave a comment so that i can edit later... for the love of movies.. muaaaaaaaah

PS: please add to my list

Mooche ho to Nathulal jaise ho….warna na ho – Shaarabi ; well this is how the conception of this post came to my mind, because this certain someone again didn't know where this was from or if it was a dialogue...so that's the first one im posting....

ishq de meree mitra pehchaan kee mit javay jadoon zid apnan dee

Sara saher mujhe lion ke naam se jaanta hai – Kaalicharan – the quote that spawned hundreds of ‘Ajit jokes’.
Police ne tumhe charon taraf se gher liya hain – apne aap ko kannon ke haawale kar do – I know – its one of those hackneyed dialogues – but I included it since it was used so many times by this one actor Iftekar, speaking into a meagphone including Don, and many more... Paanch ruapiya bara ana – Chalti Ka Naam Gadi
Babumoshai…. – Anand
Ki..ki…ki…Kiran – Darr – The beginning of SRK’s endless hamming
Mere Paas Maa Hai – Deewar – One of the very few times perhaps when Amitabh’s co-actor has run away with the better dialogue.

E lo kar lo baat. Are aisi angrezi ave hain ke I can leave angrez
behind. I can talk english, I can walk english, I can laugh english,
because english is a funny language. Bhairon becomes barren and
barren becomes Bhairon because their minds are very narrow. In the
year 1929 when India was playing Australia at the melbourne stadium
Vijay Hazare and Vijay Merchant were at the crease. Vijay Merchant
told Vijay Hazare. look Vijay Hazare, this is a very prestigious
match and we must consider it very prestigiously. We must take this
into consideration, the consideration that this is an important match
and ultimately this consideration must end in a run.
Ranjeet: O.K., O.K.
Amitabh: In the year 1979 when Pakistan was playing against India at the
Wankhade stadium Wasim Raja and Wasim Bari were at the crease and
they took the same consideration. Wasim Raja told Wasim Bari, look
Wasim Bari, we must consider this consideration and considering that
this is an important match we must put this consideration into action
and ultimately score a run. And both of them considered the
consideration and ran and both of them got out.
Ranjeet: O shut up.

Regrets

Feeling so strong.... that lasts for so long.... the worsts ones are those when you do something you never in your wildest dreams thought you'd end up doing.... and the consequences of which leave a life long of regret.... sometimes you do things that are unintentional and uncalled for with people who mean the world to you....
You don't mean to hurt them but you do end up doing the same none the less... I mean that not the plan but what when it does get incorporated in your life... how do you help that
Or for that matter when you entangle your life with someone, you're not suppose to, because when things might end a lot more could be lost....
Life's a bout making decisions... every moment... should i eat, but i am not that hungry, but is it not better if i eat now???? these trivial ones don't matter even when you make a wrong decision... but sometimes, some decisions cause you a life time of thought....
Is there anything you can do about it... yeah people say think and do what you do, but if an action is well thought about and then executed its not a mistake.... so what do you do....
say sorry... show that what you did actually is making you feel bad, again does it change things, does it really make a difference ... i mean you will be forgiven, but will it be forgotten... Does it go away.....
Regret is all that you're left with.... a thought all long your life...
for you whose done it and for the one who went through it, it stays at the back of the mind somewhere.... which comes in the foreground when something happens... like a dejavu`

sometime.... so much more....

One day I want to say "so much more"... Yah the concept is funny... we all want so much more out of life... we keep striving for it...fighting for it.... praying for it... cribbing for it... dreaming for it... But how would it be if one day... some day... some time.. you could turn around and say... " but this is ' so much more' than i asked/ dreamt/ wanted ".... how cool would that be ???????

All of us have expectations from people... and somehow they are never met.... and somehow we are always able to find a shortcoming.... what if someday... you get much more out of your expectation... find someone ... sometime... who is ' so much more'

I saw 27 dresses the other day and i understood the concept of "always a bridesmaid never a bride" in the movie.... but... it does stand for so much more.... I means its a person who wants more out of their life... a person who is stifled and in a position which is not of their choice... but are stuck there...hoping that someday..life will change for them too and they too will be on centre stage ... in limelight...in focus.... and not tailing behind someone.

The same concept with "Always the best friend, never the girl friend" , this too was in some movie.... i mean who doesn't want to be a good friend... but everyone wants to have that special person in their life... that something more....

But this feeling is not restricted to serious matters as these.... these same feelings are radiated on small occassions, when you're feeling blue... and one of your friends unexpectedly reaches out for you.... at times like those you feel you've got so much more than you expected... etc..


It has been so long since i last said.... " so much more" for anything .... Hopefully that would change too.... One day... sometime soon I would too say but man " so much more" ...... :-)) :-))
