For my love

kabhi chaha ki keh dun
ki ab tumse mohabbat nahin

kabhi socha ki keh dun
ki dil mein ab tumhari jagah nahin

kabhi socha....

magar kaise nikal dun tumhe dil se
jab dil tumhara hi hai

kaise bhul jaun tumhe
jab har yaad tumhari hi hai

kaise keh paun tumhe ki
tumse gham-e-judai sahi nahi jaati

kaise keh dun tumhe ki
dil ke har dhadkan mein tum hi basi hui

kaise keh dun tumhe ki
tumse mohabbat khatm ki nahin jaati

jitna tumhe bhulana chaha
aur tumhari yaad aayi

jab kabhi aankhen band ki
tumhara chehra saamne aaya

jab kabhi honth hile
tumhara hi naam juban per aaya

jab kabhi kuch kehna chaha
I love you tumse kehna chaha...

Khamoshi

Finally saw Khamosh Pani. Don't know why I had not watched this movie earlier, but anyway, as the popular saying goes der aaye durust aaye. I have to admit it's one of the good movie I saw this week, but the best this week has been Rang De Basanti :)

While watching this movie I was totally taken aback how the religious fanatics change a simple peace loving individual to an aggressor, an extremist. These kind of movies deliver the ideas on the evil propagated in the name of religion, and so should help in keeping the extremists at bay, but sadly it doesn't, and that too on both sides of the border dividing the Indian subcontinent. We all are peace loving individuals, but there have to be some organisation propagating hatred. Is it so hard to counter them ? Sadly again, yes is the answer to this question. How otherwise could anyone explain these terror organisations prospering and growing their headcount exponentially through the ages. I just don't get it, how hard is it to love, and how easy is it to hate.

This makes me wonder, how religious are we really ? Because if we are truly religious then we should understand that each religion preaches peace, not hatred. But we seem hell bent to not learn this basic idealogy while being religious.

Let me again wonder and ask myself, am I religious ? Well if believing in God is being religious then for sure I am religious. Again, is believing in God enough to qualify yourself as being religious, shouldn't one be reading the holy books and go to the temple to worship to be called a religious person. :) Don't have any idea what crap I am writing. I believe these things do happen when the mid sems end.
