What am I reading these days - Contd.?
--------------
Well not surpirisingly the same stuff - Man the Unknown (pathetically so).And now having endured it for so so long i have decided to be proactive about it and finish. To be fair the book is not bad at all, its just the longwindedness that sets it apart from a nice gripping types and makes reading it more like a attending a lecture which though very interesting is still preachy.

That apart portions of the book are actually gripping especially the ones where the author starts to dip into the actual working of some sytem of the body with an editing style reminiscent of a tight chase scene. Especially well written are parts that describe the adaptive qualities of the body and the manner in which science still tends to think of it as a divisible entity.

Now that my work days normally end with a long bus ride back home with nothing much to do except stare at the fellow traffic jammers (pun intended) and with the radio blaring nothing other than the mind numbing Himesh tunes, i can realistically hope to get over with this book within the quarter.

And besides i have another one lined up behind it. Its called "Blink". More on that when we get there. Till then Bon Voyage.

Yeh hai meri Kahani

Yeh Hai Meri Kahani – Zinda
--------------------
Something nice and deep from our contemporary mix of popular hindi music system. In its treatment it comes as a fusion of urdu poetic depth and western rock style. A dark and edgy feel surrounds this song almost as if the paper on which it was written has been charred at the edges. Andso has been the rendition. In all a good mix.

yeh hai meri kahani
khamosh zindagani
sannata keh raha hai
kyun zulm seh raha hai

ek dastaan purani
tanhayi ki zubani
her zakham khil raha hai
kuch mujh se keh raha hai

chubtay kantay yadoon ke daaman say chunta hoon
girti deewaron ke aanchal mai zinda hoon

bass yeh meri kahani
benishaan nishaani
ek darr beh raha hai
kuch mujh se keh raha hai

chubtay kaanten yadoon ke daaman se chunta hoon
girti deewaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon

(john's Part)..

bajay pyaar ki shabnum mere gulistaan mein
baraste rehte hain har simt maut ke saye
siyahiyon se ulajh padti hain meri aankhein
koi nahi .. koi bhi nahi jo batlaye
kitni der ujalon ki raah dekhe
koi nahi hai koi bhi nahi
na pass na durr
yeh pyaar hai
dil ki dharkan
apni chahat ka jo ellan kiye jaati hai
zindagi hai jo jiye jaati hai
khoon k ghoont peay jaati hai
khwaab aankhon se siye jaati hai

ab na koi paas hai
phir bhi ehsaas hai
yahiaon mai uljhi padi
jeene ki ek aas hai
yadoon ka jungle yeh dil
kaanton se jal thal yeh dil

chubtay kaanten yadoon ke daaman se chunta hoon
girti deewaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon
