From a nomad

I wanted to write again…for a real long time…but I should blame it on my laziness that even if thoughts were as clouds, they rarely found a way to be computed (hehehe)

A kid later and life really changes. Its already a year and my pilla (as I call him sometimes) has already grown to be an individual. No longer clingy, docile, he seems to be having a thought process of his own, a inferal temper and a weapon of tears, he tries to have his way.

It has been two years since I decided to have him. I would wonder “one year later maybe….” And then the process of carrying him. His kicks, antics and movement and one fine day after a wait of barely 9 months, desperate to be in the world that he dreamt of, Siddhant was born. Then the lack of sleep, the fragile kiddo…who would mew instead of crying. A calm disposition n would get up only when hungry.

It was only yesterday that he gave his first smile. The first time he flipped, the first time he crawled. He is one already. For whom I run from work. For whom I will have guts to do anything, my pilla aka Sid. This one is for you. I may have missed a lot of things since you have been born, but surely it was worth it.



“what shall I write on…” I wondered as I stared are the screen. It was office with work worming its way out. But I had to. It felt like a compulsion. For a real long time, absolutely long I mean, I was not breathing. Music, reading and writing had taken a backseat. But not anymore. There were many new songs that I heard and some found a place in my heart. Like my current disposition, one song always comes to my mind by its very way of singing “Dil…sambhal ja zara…”

The song it self is sung in a lovely lazy way. Sweet and hapless manner…that darling dil u are falling in love…so pls be aware…

The song starts with a melodious piece of piano music. Then the song starts …a bit uncommon but from between “Jab jab tere paas main aaya, Ik sukoon mila….” Almost same piece of piano music lilts throughout the song almost repeating but which doesnot seem like one…The song is sung by singers who are actually unknown, they don’t seem to be amateurs.

I finally conclude the writing before I move back to my piece of …ahem….translation .

“Dil.. Sambhal ja zara

Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

Dil.. yahin ruk jaa zara

Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu

Aisa kyunkar hua janoon naa

Main janoon naa”
