The big picture
Ek aahat suni hai aaj, maine zindagi ki
Chupke se aayi woh, mere dil ke andar
Woh nagme sunati, mujhe khushiyon ke
Diyein jalaye hain usne, mere dil ke andar
And so, life walks in on me sometimes
And I wonder, will it stay forever?
I know its a guest I cant keep for long
But will it leave behind joy, mine forever?
Ye khushiyaan, ye aansoon, ye dard,
Ye lamhe hain bas, ek pal do pal ke,
Bahut chhote hain ye, bas ye samajh lo,
Ye hain jhalkiyaan bas, iss zindagi ke.
Nothing but a speck, are my emotions
In the big picture I call my life
But then again, without the specks
How else, would I build this life?

that was beautiful!! happiness is made up of small moments essentially.
...happy diwali and new year :)
Luv (and envy) the way u can successfully weave between english and hindi, shades of Javed Akhtar. Will leave all the praise to more accomplished readers like Anu.
Beautiful. Especially the last thought... life just consists of a series of "little" moments.
Lovely...I thought this was someone else's work that you were posting...am totaly impressed and amazed that it's your own creation! To be able to juggle between languages and yet create something so harmoniously complete is awesome!
Ps Love the "I aint dropping no eaves sir" of the last post :-)
Gulnaz,
Yes it is :)
Thanks!
Anu,
"Shaayad zindagi khud se zyada"
Wah wah! Beautiful 'writing' :)
Rohan,
*takes a bow*
Javed Akhtar... now that's a little too much, dont you think? ;)
Anshul,
Tiny moments, which by themselves, are kind of meaningless, but play a part in the bigger scheme of things.
Gee,
I'm flattered ;)
Thanks!
The dual-language hop was nice! As was the thought. :)
Nice song :) . Which movie would this be? i used to listen to old songs once in a while but don't really have a good list of songs. i am hazarding a guess: is it aandhi?
Goshhh Casa did u write this? Simply too beautiful..
**I know its a guest I cant keep for long
Loved that line the best...
Keshi.
Blue Athena,

I keep coming back to your page just for the song.
How do you link this?
Nice piece Casa
I dedicate this to you...
This is from my fav Ghazal
Dasht-e-Tanhaaee main
Aay Jan-e-Jahan
Larzaan Hay..
...tairey Awaz ke saayey
...tairay hoonton ke saraab
Dahst-e-Tanhaee main
Duuri ke khaso khaak talay
khil rahain hain
tairay pehloo ke saman..aur ghalab
luv it
Rita,
Thanks :)
Cowlick,
Hmmm... maybe I'll change it to the male voice for sometime? :)
Saurabh,
You embed html tags, after you select the song you want to include. Maybe you can google for it? If I post it here, it might give an error.
Paheli,
Shukr'an :)
PS: What does larzaan mean?
lamhe to hote hain do pal ke,
yaadein lekin bas jati hain,
zindagi thama deti hain,arzoo jaga deti hain,
lekin
yaadein box office pe pit jaati hain
lamhe super hit ho jati hain!
Thank you.
//Takes a bow//
waah waah...yahaan to sab shaayar hain...
u write really well Casa..
Zii,
Lol. Looks like you are a big bollywood lover eh :)
Alice,
So you are back from Bombay? Welcome back!
I like Zii's comment. Interestingly, I always think of movies when words like that come up. Aandhi! and Im thinking Sanjeev Kumar and "tum aa gaye ho.."
Someone's very Javed Akhtar-y, eh?
=D
Javed Akhtar-y... ok stop flattering me. What's the agenda eh? ;)
wah wah!
Shukr'an :)
