Cricket

"You can take an Indian away from cricket, but you can never take cricket away from an Indian." 

 - Munish Malik  

Useful v/S Useless

"The useful and the useless must, like good and evil generally, go on together, and man must make his choice."

          -- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

शाम

यह कैसा  समय है...

कैसा समां है

के शाम  है  पिघल रही...
यह सब कुछ हसीं है, 

सब कुछ जवान है...
है ज़िन्दगी मचल  रही...

जगमगाती...

झिलमिलाती...
पलक पलक पे ख्वाब है...
सुन... यह हवाएं... गुनगुनाये...
जो गीत लाजवाब है...
के बूम बूम बूम... परा... परा...
है खामोश दोनों
के बूम बूम बूम... परा... परा...
है मदहोश दोनों 

जो गुम्म्सुम गुम्म्सुम है यह फिजायें
जो कहती सुनती है यह निगाहें
गुम्म्सुम गुम्म्सुम है यह फिजायें... है ना...

-- जावेद अख्तर

Thanks Fred.

 A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. 

Happy Fred

A Pet's Ten Commandments

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
