Banal bystander

Kya kare Zindagi, isko hum jo mile,
Iski jaan khaa gaye, raat din ke gile.

The days are nowadays like the electric poles next to railway tracks. And my life, the train, is whooshing past so speedily that I am unable to detect any noticeable differences among the poles....all feel bloody same.

Lemon Tree

I wondered and wondered. I was baffled and annoyed. How come I forgot it, and if I have to forget why I didn't forget all of it, why this tiny scratch of memory....crap...
But the tune stuck with the words...I wonder how, i wonder why. Just these six words...not anything more....and I wondered and wondered without even knowing what I was wondering.

Days passed, months passed....may be even a year passed..and the tune moved to the darker hind spots in mind....ready to dilute to oblivion.
And then one friday evening as I was lying tiredly in a vegetative state in front of my TV watching VH1, a video splashed....a guy sang...and under 2 minutes...I was ecstatic..I was delighted to the core...running around room in an hyperactive state (and thank god none of my roomies was there or they would have surely called for an ambulance from yerwada).

I smiled for long..and after long time...the feeling of getting back something which I had even forgot of loosing was ineffable.

And I wondered how and I wondered why....and all along it was just another LEMON TREE.. :)
