Everything and Nothing. And then some words.
One-sided love sucks.It calls for so much commitment and hardship that only if you've ever been in one-sided love, you can comprehend.

Love is like a chewing gum. It sticks in the wrong places in your mouth. You chew it and you feel like God, but a couple of minutes later, it gets so annoying that you want to throw it away. Some swallow it. Some continue to chew it. But then some let go. Wrapped in... Continue Reading →

"Ye chand sa roshan chehra, zulfon ka rang sunehra" "Chand chhupa badal mein, sharmake meri jaana" "Mere saamne wali khidki mein ek chand ka tukda rehta hai" "Channa mereya, mereya!

Baawra Mann has been one of those things I've turned to every time I wanted to feel anew. This one song, and a music video. I am not sure what strings they're able to pull at my heart, but in an instant, I feel like my soul teleports to a time when I was younger,... Continue Reading →
Pictured Madhuri Dixit dancing, didn't you? The day I came across this version of this very old song from my sappy, old memories of some dance rehearsals from my very early years of an 'okay' dancer, I couldn't help but dive right in and revel in it for a few days.
