Chor Bazari from Love Aaj Kaal
chori bazari do naino ki, pehle thi aadat jo hat gayi
(the habit of stealing glances at each other, was the first habit of ours to leave)
pyaar ki jo teri meri, umar aayi thi woh kat gayi
(this love that was ours, that time has now come and is over for good now…)
duniya ki toh fikar kaha thi, teri bhi ab chinta ghat gayi
(We never cared ’bout this world, now your worries have lessened too)
tu bhi tu hai, main bhi main hoon
(you are the same you, I am the same myself…)
duniya saari dekh ulat gayi
(but the whole world’s upside down…)
tu na jaane main na jaanu
(neither you know, nor do I…)
kaise saari baat palat gayi
(how all this turned over…)
ghatni hi thi yeh bhi ghatna,
(seems like all this had to happen…)
ghatte ghatte lo yeh ghat gayi
(and with time, it finally has…)
haan… chor bazari do naino ki, pehle thi aadat jo hat gayi
tareef teri karna haan…
(praising you all the time…)
tujhe khone se darna haan…
(fearing losing you…)
haan.. bhool gaya ab, tujhpe din mein char dafaa marna
(I have forgotten how I used to fall for you all throughout the day…)
Repeat
pyaar bimari, utree saari
(the fever of love, has now totally left…)
baaton ki badli bhi chhat gayi
(the way we exchanged words has also changed)
hum se main pe aayi aise
(from ‘we’ back to ‘I’ happened so quick…)
mujhko toh main hi main ratt gayi
(Now I put myself 1st)
ek huey they do se dono,
(we had become one from two)
dono ki ab rahein bant gayi
(now our ways are separated)
ab koi fikar nahi
(there are no worries now…)
gham ka bhi zikar nahi
(no ounce of gloom exists too…)
haan…
hota hoon main jis raste pe, aaye khushi wahin….
(whichever way I take now, happiness follows…)
azaad hoon main tujhse
(I am free from you now…)
azad hai tu mujhse
(you too are free from me now…)
jo bhi chahe jaise chahe, kar le aaj yahin
(whatever you want, however you want, do it right here right now)
laaj sharam ki, choti moti
(those little apprehensions in love…)
jo thi dori woh bhi kat gayi
(Those attachments are are also gone)
chowk choubare gali mohalle
(all lanes, all crossroads, everywhere…)
khol ke main saare ghoonghat gayee
(I went to openly)
tu na badli main na badla
(neither you changed, nor did I…)
delhi saari dekh badal gayi
(but the whole of Delhi just did…)
ek ghoont mein duniya dari
(in a gulp of these worldly ways…)
ki main saari samajh nigal gayi
(I understood it all, how it works… )
haan.. rang biranga paani peeke
(by drinking ‘colored’ water…)
seedhi saadi kudi bigaad gayi
(a simple girl has lost herself…)
dekh ke mujhko hasta gaata
(Looking at me laughing and singing)
sad gayi yeh duniya sad gayi
(this world fumed with jealousy…)

Top Ten Nietzsche quotes
My Top Ten Favorite Nietzsche quotes:
10. And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Recently there have been a lot of days without dancing for me, mainly due to exams. And there have been a lot of truths that came without laughs, and I am sure when grades come out, there will be a lot more.
9. I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.
Some people I know have a Shiva in their locker. Unfortunately, it is a regular Shiva, not the nataraja Shiva, so I guess I can't believe in it, or them. ;) Luckily for me, a lot of people in my life know how to dance, so I can believe in them instead.
8. The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Lonely often, or alone often, or both? Hmm...
7. Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
Although, I could swear I've seen dogs laugh.
6. The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it.
This explains a lot of my life. Seriously.
5. Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.
But what if you are a Hindu and believe in cremation? Then you have no epitaphs! I guess you're safe then.
4. Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Perhaps this is especially fitting for those in the legal profession?
3. Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
This might actually be #1. I think about this a lot with people my age, and how many of us believe in the who "no [immediate] harm done, no foul" mentality. I have to believe, more than just the lack of engaging in openly harmful behavior, the choices people make to not engage in certain behaviors/lifestyles also says a lot about them. Like Rubin's vase, maybe character is about the negative space also. And also like a Rubin vase, maybe there are two equally valid interpretations. Or maybe, just like Rubin's vase, it actually is all black and white. Life = Rubin's vase? I think I may be onto something big here.
2. Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.
Metaphorically speaking...
1. Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
A question you may be asking yourself if you have read this far.
