Jane tu...ya jane na......

Grow old with me…..the best is yet to be!!

Touching the so very old theme of friends not knowing they are in love and further unable to express the same when they actually realize it. Friends whom you keep teasing with someone else's name, though at the bottom of your heart you would not want him/her to be away from you. A friend who you feel is absolutely no match for you, but later realize that no one understands you as much as him/ her. That being who has been so much a part of the hedonism, your pranks, your problems that he/ she cannot remain “just a friend”. That being who has an existential map having ‘you are here’ written all over it."

The movie is full of some good college bakwaas, some real catchy tunes, cute faces, dumb looks, a Naseeruddin Shah talking through Photo frames and aapdo Gujju bhai Jiggy organizing his own surprise Birthday party, albeit some irritating scenes at times (it actually starts with a funeral for a cat). But every frivolous scene is ‘maaf ’ for the way the movie gets built up. For in spite of everything being so predictable you keep yourself telling just one single word till the end “Cute”.

Kitne ajeeb rishte hai yaha pe
Do pal milte hai sath sath chalte hai
Ek mod aye to yuhi chale jate hai

And the special friend doesn’t meet to just walk away from your life someday. Thankfully Jai realizes this Just in Time.
Wisdom too often does not come and one ought not to reject it merely because it came late!!!

The Traveller

The Traveller
He has a deer's legs and an ass's back

No kind of energy and observation should he lack
From one place to another he has to go

At no place which he visits can he lie low
Pain and sufferings he has to see

Through such things stoic he has to be
Memories are collected at every junction

Tomorrow will be another place is a presumption
In case of darkness he has to move

He has no time to get into his groove
He has to forget those beautiful eyes

Contain emotions and let out no sighs
A positive energy he has to vibrate

Pep up some kid who seems will enervate
Every journey is always spiced up

To become a virtuoso you need to keep up
For no one can ever be the perfect master

Games are played even by the creator
No one can understand when the journey will consummate

whether its in the morning dew or the evening sunset
