Sometimes unknown people oblige as well !

today was just another day to work. the distance to office from home (around 2 km) is such that auto drivers do not agree to an easy ride, unless you are willing to shell out some extra bucks or get off half-way. yea, thats how auto-wallahs in Bangalore are typically. which is why I prefer to travel by bus. of course these are few and infrequent, so you need to be there on time in case you plan to take these. today was one such day when I was there on time and the bus was there at the stop, as if waiting for me to board and was almost ready to leave. I boarded, got my ticket and settled. suddenly I spotted a medical shop across the road and recollected that I needed some lozenges. I had been longing for these for the past couple of days thanks to my sore throat and cough. I quickly got down and requested the driver who was just about to rev up the engine , to wait for a couple of minutes so that I could get my lozenges from the medical shop. he just smiled and I knew he was OK with it. I got back in exactly 2 minutes and the moment I boarded the bus, we started off! It was a pleasant surprise in a world where auto-wallahs look askance at the mention of any place less than 2 kms away, and bus drivers are in an eternal race against time and against other buses.

My Latest Craze ..

Ye Ishq Hai ....from Jab We Met !

Haan hai Koi to wajah
Jo jeena ka maza yun aane laga
Yeh hawaon mein hai kya
Thoda sa jo naasha yun chane laga
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Hua hai teri raahon mein aakar (pucho na pucha na)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Milega teri bahon mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Todi maine sare hi bandhan zamane tere
Todungi na mein vada
Aadha hissa mere to dil ki kahani ka tu
Piya mein baaki aadha
Dekho na dekho mujhe kya
hua haiTeri yaadhon mein kho kar
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya hua hai
Teri baton mein jeekar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Mere jaise lakho mile honge tujhko
Piya, mujhe to mila tuu hi
Tu hi mere hooton ki khilti hui si hasi
Gila bhi piya tu hi
Dekho na dekho mujhe kya hua hai
Tujhe sapno mein lakar (dekho na dekho)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya hua hai
Teri baaton mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Haan hai koi to wajah
Jo jeena ka maza yun aane laga
Yeh hawaon mein hai kya
Thoda sa jo naasha yun chane laga
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Hua hai teri raahon mein aakar (pucho na pucha na)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Milega teri bahon mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan —2


Its a lovely song full of zeal and enthu. Have'nt yet got to see the movie, but have listened to the song umpteen times...Its truly amazing..Shreya has done a wonderful job yet again!

Kya maal hai !!

Wondering what this is? This is the cheesy, crass, tongue-in-cheek comment that I got from one of my office colleagues, when I wore a skirt to work the other day! I was completely taken aback by this kind of a reaction...which was accompanied by, "aaj terepe line maarneka Mann kar raha hai !"
Though a little shocked, I had the presence of mind to retort "achha hai ki mujhse aakar bole...kisi aur se bola hota to tumhari khair nahi hoti"..

Well, as I have come to realise, there are guys staring at you all the time, no matter what and how much you wear. But I have just resigned to the fact that - guys will be guys, desperation in their eyes, demons in disguise.
