Astalavista!

The world around us, our environment, both natural and man-made, has always been under a constant state of evolution. As time progresses, things change and with each passing moment the world becomes a still more complicated place for a simple life. Is it just me that has been unable to adapt to this ever changing world. I hope not. Humans are bright, intelligent creatures. We are supposed to be ok with changes. I have always been able to equip myself with the latest technology, equipment, software, system, mobile phone, automobile, GPS systems and what not. So which part of me is it that fails? Relationships. They change faster than anything relative. More than often I find my self on the verge of loosing another friend, relative or even an admirer. Miserable moments. Fights. Exchange of ugly terminology. Mudslinging. Stop. Separate ways.

Few friendships last long. At times it is unbelievable that things can go this bad. We were all born as beautiful children in this world. And as we grow, what happens. Whose mind did it corrupt now? I can just hope it wasn’t me. Our relationships can die, turn poison. But memories, how do I get rid of them. Make you feel caught in a flytrap, they do. Maybe they were my mistakes, maybe yours, or maybe ours as we helped each other make them. Something we both realize, and yet feel so helpless. In the end it is not just a friend I loose, it is a chunk of my heart that leaves the rest bleeding. The saga repeats. Maybe I can help it this time, or strengthen my heart before it is ripped apart.

Rabbi sings my heart out ….

ve yaar mere kade sege tin chaar
....................We were 3-4 friends
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
....................We used to flirt with girls together
katthe Khaadi assan maar
....................And got beaten up together
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
....................Palla went First
phir aeru gaya baar
....................Aeru followed
hun saanga vi dubai
....................Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
bache gill te guitar
....................Left: Gill and Guitar

sanga apna si bandaa tagraa
....................Sanga was a strong man
kade darr na fikar udde nede lagaa
....................Fear or worry never came near him
bare din baad kal aaya udda phone si
....................He called me yesterday, after a long time
kehndaa din taan lang jaada ae
....................Said that the days pass through
par shaam nai
....................But the evenings don't

ve yaar mere
ve yaar mere
ve yaar mere

  2. i want to quote someone.

    There are many instances like this defining a personality, I have always believed that relationships are guided more by the situations than the personalities.. this cannot be more vindicated by this example … although dues to so much unevenness I have been able to cling on to something concrete.

    for me, friend/friends/friendship/relationships ..is all the above.
    i have never understood how a person can change, there are just moments of discovery.

  3. maybe people dont change. maybe it is the perception abt people that changes. maybe the person was always the same and i had a wrong perception. but the feeling changes. and that is wht makes a diffrence. one can never cling on to sumthing. you can only try but seperation is inevitable, at least after death.
