Snow Fall ...

It was my first time ... Watching the snow fall ... being in extremely cold weather ...
I had two awesome days in Flagstaff, full of activities... Driving at 80-90 miles/hour, Snow fall, Snow play, Tea, Food, and Teen patti ...
It is good to experience such a low temperature, but just for a couple of days ... Living in such a cold place seems horrible to me ...
In last I was happy to be in Phoenix !

Another - गुलशन कि फ़क़त

गुलशन कि फ़क़त फूलों से नहीं काटों से भी जीनत होती है,
जीने के लिए इस दुनिया में ग़म कि भी ज़रूरत होती है.

ऐ वाइज़-ए-नादां करता है तू एक क़यामत का चर्चा,
यहाँ रोज़ निगाहें मिलती हैं यहाँ रोज़ क़यामत होती है.

वो पुर्सिश-ए-ग़म को आये हैं कुछ कह ना सकूं चुप रह ना सकूं,
खामोश रहूँ तो मुश्किल है कह दूं तो शिक़ायत होती है.

करना ही पड़ेगा जब्त-ए-अलम पीने ही पड़ेंगे ये आंसू,
फरियाद-ओ-फुगाँ से एय नादाँ तौहीन-ए-मोहब्बत होती है.

जो आके रुके दामन पे ‘सबा‘ वो अश्क नहीं है पानी है,
जो अश्क ना छलके आंखों से उस अश्क कि कीमत होती है.

जीनत - beauty, वाइज - preacher, पुर्सिश - inquiry,
जब्त - suffer,bear, अलम - pain, फुगाँ - lamentation

HR goes well sometime ...

'Mein jahan rahun' and 'Yahi hota pyar' from Namaste London are among the nice tracks...
He goes well sometime ... :)

Pace ...

I had it within me ... the reason for almost all, I have achieved...
Now, time is moving faster than expected ... and I am not able to catch it ...
People started calling me ... 'Self-Proclaimed' genius in Maths ...
... I think I have lost my biggest strength :(

हजारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी ...

हजारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी कि हर ख्वाहिश पे दम निकले
बहुत निकले मेरे अरमाँ, लेकिन फिर भी कम निकले

निकलना खुल्द से आदम का सुनते आये हैं लेकिन
बहुत बे-आबरू होकर तेरे कूचे से हम निकले

मुहब्बत में नहीं है फ़र्क जीने और मरने का
उसी को देख कर जीते हैं जिस काफिर पे दम निकले

खुदा के बासते पर्दा ना काबे से उठा जालिम
कहीं ऐसा न हो याँ भी वही काफिर सनम निकले

कहाँ मयखाने का दरवाजा 'गालिब' और कहाँ वाइज़
पर इतना जानते हैं, कल वो जाता था के हम निकले

खुल्द - Paradise, कूचे - street, सितम - cruelity, क़ाबे - House Of Allah In Mecca, वाइज़ - preacher

City of god ...

Watched this ...
I don't think I have a very good choice in movies ... but this was not a "Great" movie through any of my parameter ... Kids are running on roads with loaded guns, and shooting like, they are playing ...and that's all in it!!

I don't agree that you can make movies out of any real event ...

One time watch - San Francisco

This trip was just like completing another assignment ... Initially it was a bit disappointing ... but then it went well ... and in the end it was Great !!

Segway ride was awesome ... An Impressive technology.
And beaches ???? Goa was far better ...

Poker ...

I learned poker last weekend ... And it was best of the week ... Now I am eligible to go Vegas ... and loose some dollars :)

Casino Royale wasn't such a crap after all...

When I will be back :(

I won't say, these are bad days ... I enjoyed in here also ... Saw some good places ... met different people ...

But now want to come back ... desperately ... Missing home, friends, food ...

I hope it will happen in end of November ...

India in Phoenix ....
