7: Playing a lost match...

In every game that we play ...like some school or college tournaments sometimes chess, badminton, tennis, etc ... we always talk about the "sportsman spirit"... a spirit that makes you to overcome your flaws, that makes you to give more than hundred percent of what you could ever give .. a spirit which only increases with the 'HOPE' that ,if you give everything what you have ... u might just win.!!!! The words"YOU MIGHT JUST WIN"... ring in your ears and keeping ringing throughout the game...

Its always said that a match is never lost until the last second of the game.This hope is the catalyst that makes us to strive and strive some more until we come to the conclusion of the match....whereupon we do accept the result and vow to improve and strike back harder next time...if we lose it!

This hope is only 50% probabality that we may win ... kinds!!!And we survive on this hope for the rest of the game....But then there are also certain games which are played after you have lost it...

One such game I played ... infact still playing...i know that i have lost it... there is no hope to tell me..."Go try for it...who knows you might win"... because i have seen that hope shattering into pieces myself...!!!

One such game life made me to play... one such game which i am still playing...and one such game which will never end.... in my favour!!!!

I have to live with it... henceforth forever in my life....but hey i wouldn't have  minded playing it forever...had it been against some opponent i would have loved defeating...!!! But the worst part is the situation ...when you know that......... you have lost it already... and you dont want to be a loser and keep playing ... and the opponent is someone you dont ever want to defeat , whom you cant think of defeating!!!!

There is nothing I can do to revive back that hope but you know what..... I still want to play that game...not for me... but for my opponent!!!

6: We will... we will...ROCK you..!!!

It can blow you...it can shake you... It can wake you and yes it can rejuvenate u as well. The naïve and raw bass, the sensuous guitar and oh so crazy drums what more you want? What more you ask?

Not an avid rock lover but then there was something in maroon 5, in pearl jam, in Coldplay, in U2, in nirvana, in smashing pumpkins , etc that made me, to long for them more… and by that I mean literally MORE..!!!! I happened to listen to these bands by chance when one of my friends transferred songs of these bands through blue tooth saying –“you noe what, it’s high time you should at least give them a fair chance to impress you...!” and man was I impressed? ROYALLY… is the word!!! I was in love with them at least with the ones I had in my cell phone. They were absolute classics and truly masterpieces…I realized!

I wondered as to what made me to stay away from them for so long, maybe an over trust on bollywood numbers or for the sheer fear that I won’t understand them…to hell with it..!!!
I heard them n they were all that I wanted to hear after that…Yellow, violet hill, she will be loved, one, last kiss, behind blue eyes, alive, carnival of rust, somebody’s me, Amigo vulnerable, and on goes the list…. Everyone left an indelible mark on me. Initially, ROCK for me was nothing more than noise..!!! And HARD ROCK was even louder noise… but I was pleasantly surprised when I actually came across lyrics of all these songs... they were not only meaningful but many songs have actually been written from some inspired incidences in the real world… take for ex: last kiss (PJ), Jeremy (PJ)… 90’s was indeed the revolution in alternative rock but newer bands like maroon5 and ‘98 born Coldplay too are keeping the trend perfectly alive n kicking…

The song which made me crazy to listen it 7 times back to back was none other than “she will be loved”- by maroon5. The one thing that struck me in this song was the amazing voice of Adam Levine which expresses the sheer disappointment at his girl’s choice, but at the same time….the love that he has for her which can make him to do absolutely anything for her although he knows that she may not come to him ever...

His helpless love for her comes around as very genuine in his voice. The lyrics and music is exemplary...and it sets the perfect mood whenever and wherever you want to listen to it… IN LOVE WITH IT..!!!

My connection with this genre has just begun but I am sure... it’s not gonna end for sure…!!!

5: Eka valnavar...

क्षितीज सामोरी दिसत आहे पण मन अशांत एवढे
सावली तर नाही ही मृगजळाची... असे हळूच मनी वाटे
कधी कसा कोणास ठाऊक झरकन वर आला
पाण्यावरुनी वाहत येयूनी अंग शहारून गेला

अचानक एवढा आनंद समोर ...खरा वाटत नाही
पण डोळ्यांमधला ओलावा आनंदाची चाहूल देऊनी जाई
त्याच्या सावलीत सुखाचे क्षण मी शोधते आहे
आणि स्वप्न बघत मी आयुष्याचे चित्र रंगवत आहे

प्रत्येक गोष्ट मला त्याची आवडतेच असे नाही
पण त्याच्याशी बोल्याखेरीज आता दिवसच पूर्ण होत नाही
बरेचदा वाटतं विचारू त्याला का तू असा वेगळा
क्षणात माझा एकटा आणि क्षणात इतका पारका

काय सांगू कसे सांगू तुला, ते मला कळत नाही
पण तुला सांगितल्याखेरीज आता काही गत्यंतरच उरले नाही
तू समजून घेशील मनात अशी वेडी आशा वाटे
याच आशेत मी एकं एकं दिवस मोजते आहे

सांगीन तुला मी एकं दिवस काय मनात माझ्या आहे
आणि त्या वळणावर आयुष्याच्या मी वाट तुझी पाहेन !!!
