Iktara

Learning to play ‘Iktara’ on my guitar.

It’s one of those rare good songs that you don’t seem to get bored of,

(btw the male version, SUCKS)

Love the music, love the lyrics,

Even loved the movie wake up sid (someone get me a guy like sid, who’d do all the house work :-P )

The best lines of the song:

Sun rahi hoon sudhbudh kho ke

Koi main kahani...

Puri kahani hai kya kisi hai pata/

Main to kisiki ho ke yeh bhi na jaani...

Ruth hai yeh do pal ki ya rahegi sada

Hope I can actually play it.

Wish me luck.

unnamed

Somebody tell me what’s wrong

I seem to have lost my way

The urge to get away from a crowd is strong

And alone my far flung thoughts lead me astray

I’m headed down memory lane

Down a boulevard of broken dreams

I have an insight into what might have been

And the bag of choices un-taken is bursting at its seams

Trying to figure out how I got here

The paths so crisscrossed, it’s a maze

I see the paths I almost took, and the ones I did

Smiles await me at the end of the lanes

And not always at the ends of the ones I walked

I wonder what I’d do,

If I could go back and rewrite the past

Would I take on paths un-trodden?

Or would I still be here wondering?

Choices made, shattered dreams, broken promises

Will I ever know where I went wrong?

Maybe if I’d tried harder, held on longer?

Maybe I gave up too soon,

Or maybe, not soon enough?

Note: The first stanza is what I’m feeling right now, the rest sort of just flowed out.

Mindless rambling.
