My Experiments with LUST..!!

Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes!!

How many times in our growing up years have we felt this extreme lust for someone? A childhood crush, a fantasy hero, a greek god, a scintillating damsel in chiffon?? (Well..have never felt the same for the last one for sure!) Its hard to control such feelings specially in those years,when puberty knocks at the door with awful streak of facial hairs, a change over of vocal tone and an early morning arousal too hard to control! Ah...well..u name it!

Attending a lecture session in the classroom, listening quite intently,when suddenly u realise none of wot being said makes any sense to u coz all u ve been doing is noticing every gesture, the movement of the lips, the bulging biceps, the strong arms,the long large stout fingers gesturing towards you or the blackboard, and the well endowed bubble b...(oops! did i say that!)...I wonder,wot could ve happened if i'd had gone up,grabbing him by the sides (nope, m not using the actual word here) ,bringing him closer,feeling his breath,could ve kissed him intensely??? What could ve happened at the max..a punishment? a laughing stock in front of the class?? expelled?? what???


I was and a m still a pathetic loser when it comes to Mathematics (who invented it btw? hello G.K.?), but then for my lesser interest in this subject and my subsequent failures in it i'd definitely like to blame my private tutor for not being the regular 'strict scary middle age sir with a moustache' ! He was merely a college guy himself with his absolute indianised version of Jude law looks (sans the hazel eyes of course!) and with the cute stammering at times, specially with words starting with 'd' (no no..i mean decimel,decibel..like that?)..

Now who would be interested in those numerical games,pseudo algebras and geometric squares when u have a delicious pie kept in front of u !! which makes me think,why do private tutors always have to sit in front of u and not by your side? well..all i hoped for was a power cut, coz then, he had to come and sit next to me with the aid of two candle lights (candle light romance with algebras!),and those were such moments when i used to go weak on my knees, literally! He used to smell incredibly sexy (sans any deo or cologne) and for the first time i found men who smoke...to be edible! (Cigarette smoking is injurious to health....might cause bee stung lips,u never know!) What could ve happened if i'd had said 'Sir,can you please stop your candlelight algebras and switch on to some candle light romance instead?? He could have laughed?? yelled?? blabbered? run away?? What?????

                                                                                                                                     to be continued......

The Love Songs....



I danced before my Giridhara
I danced before my Giridhara...!

Again and again I danced....
To please that discerning critic,
And put His former love to the test...

I put on the anklets
Of the love of Shyam,
And behold! My Mohan stays true.
Worldly shame and family custom
I have cast to the winds.
I do not forget the beauty of the Beloved
Even for an instant,
                        Mira is dyed deeply in the dye of Krsna...!!



Mine is Gopal,
the Mountain-Holder;
there is no one else.
On his head he wears the peacock-crown:
He alone is my husband.
Father, mother, brother, relative:
I have none to call my own.

I've forsaken both God,
                                         and the family's honor:
                                         what should I do?

                                                                                
I've sat near the holy ones,
and I've lost shame before the people.
I've torn my scarf into shreds;
I'm all wrapped up in a blanket.
I took off my finery of pearls and coral,
 and strung a garland of wildwood flowers.

With my tears,
I watered the creeper of love that I planted;
Now the creeper has grown spread all over,
and borne the fruit of bliss.

The churner of the milk churned with great love.
When I took out the butter,
no need to drink any buttermilk.
I came for the sake of love-devotion;
seeing the world,
I wept.

Mira is the maidservant of the Mountain-Holder:
now with love He takes me across to the further shore.

Laaj...!!


                                                                           

                       How lovely are her curls, 
                       filled with braided jasmine; 
                       her face is brilliant as lightning;
                       her movements intoxicating...
                                                                                        Krishna caught hold of me!
                                                                           Krishna caught hold of me and suddenly,,,,,,,,,,,,,
                     he kissed my face...!!



From my head, my scarf fell;
my scarf went slipping from my head,                                              
slipping...

Why does he tease me so?
Why does he tease me so?

Nand's darling [i.e., Krishna] is just that willful...
By force he stole away my honor,
by force he stole away my honor...!!
Krishna will not heed me...
                                     To whom can I speak my heart when he does not listen?
                                     Oh, mother!
                                     Why does he tease me?

   
                                                                                            A small pot full of yogurt...
 I was taking a pot full of yogurt down the road
 I heard his footstep, 
 I heard his footstep and my heart swelled and, began to pound,
thumping.........!!


Why does he tease and torment me?                           
 He caught me and all my bangles broke...!!                  
O, mother!
Krishna will not heed me...

To whom can I speak my heart..
when he does not listen?
Oh Krishna!
Why do you tease me?

Mathura Nagarpati Kahe tum Gokul Jaaon.....


Subah subah ka khyaal aaj
Wapas gokul chal mathura raaj
Mathura nagarpati kaahe tum gokul jaaon
Manohar vesh chhod nand raaj
Sar se utaarke sundar taaj
Raj dand chhod bhumi par vaaj
Phir kaahe baansuri bajaao
Mathura nagarpati kaahe tum gokul jaao

Kaun sa anokha geet gaye pee kakool
Raj paat jaise aaj bhai dhool
Kaun sa anokha geet gaaye pee kakool
Birhan laage phir hridaya akool
Raj kaaj man na lagaao
Mathura nagarpati kkahe tum Gokul jaao

Poor naari saari vyakul nayan
Kusum sajaa lage kantak shayan
Poor naari saari vyakul nayan
Raat bhar madhav jaagat bechain
Kaahe aadhi raat saarathi bulaayo
Mathura nagarpatiĆ¢€¦..

Dheere dheere pahunchat jamuna ke teer
Sunsaan panghat mridul sameer
Dheere dheere pahunchat jamuna ke teer
Khan khan madhav birha madeer
Use kaahe bhool na paao
Mathura nagarpatiĆ¢€¦.

Tumhari piriya ab puri gharvaali
Doodh navan ghivoo din bhar khaali
Biraha ke aansoon kab ke, ho kab ke ponch daali
Phir kaahe dard jagaao
Mathura nagarpati kaahe tum Gokul jaao

A FRIENDSHIP DAY TREAT..!!

One's impeccably cute and the other one's saucy and charming and that's theirs as well as the film's sole USP..They share a great camaraderie on screen..but...they ain't a lovey dovey couple and thankfully,that works in its favour..Its more of an urbane buddy flick than a romance! The film has been wrongly hyped as a Valentine's day treat for the couples, maybe it would have worked more as a Friendship day treat for the teens! The film doesn't redefine the genre of mills and boons' flicks,but neither it goes too high on the emotional quotient, but.. there are portions where the film dips terribly post interval but somehow saves it up with a notable climax!! Giants like Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah have been wasted in insignificant roles! One time watch!

P.S. : Don't go by the critics,as always Karan Johar has paid them ransom amount,because the film doesn't deserve a 4/5 rating,as most of the critics have rated it by now...at the max. 2.5 to 3 !!

Watch you sleep...!


Watch you sleep                           
Dream and roll over
with a half-turned
smile on your face,
an exposed and naked leg
your hair escaping you
like spilling starlight
Watch you sleep

Watch you sleep
when I kiss
the tiniest sample
of skin on your cheek
and know you wake
when I'm gone
and am gone
until again you sleep

When you wake!
Watch you wake!
Watch you sleep...

The way to a man's heart...!


The way to a man's heart is through his stomach             
food for the soul or food for the mind?
u know it so very well...
teasing u in the kitchen while u play hard on with pots and pans ;)
Babes,u do the cooking,lemme stick to my teasing...
The smiles,the laughter,the love making that we shared in the kitchen,
that filled my life with glee..
For when, I am with u in there,
I found the child in me.. ;)

Rituparno's Bonolata...!!

I love films that aesthetically merges the conscious and semi conscious trance of the human psyche..very seldom film makers have explored the terrain of the surreal world..Film maker Rituparno Ghosh has somewhat successfully explored this side with subtlety in his tale of a bored spinster Bonolata in Bariwali (Lady of the house),where the lady's day to day events merges with her dreams,creating a beautiful collage of human emotions,for instance the sequence where she dreams of her wedding day colliding with the rituals(being performed by women folk,along with Prosonno decked up as a lady) following the death of her would be husband bitten by a snake,with the monosha mongol (traditional religious narrative of the goddess of the snakes) playing in the background! After years of living a monotonous life accompanied by a maid servant Malati and an effeminate retainer Prosonno ,she goes through an emotional turmoil with the arrival of a director with his film unit to shoot a film at her spacious ancestral house,she gets emotionally attached to the man,and in her dreams she attains for that physical desire of a married woman,she has been deprived of all these years.In one such dream sequence,she comes to his bedroom decked up as his wife with a glass of milk,asking him the arrival of the month of falgun,in the very next shot,he takes out a tagore's novel and slashes out the glued pages of the book with a knife..stains of blood sprinkles onto her face..the first sign of marital bliss!
In her surreal world,she visualizes the maid 'malati' as a bride specially after she watches her kissing her boyfriend on a storm stuck afternoon which also coincides with the news of malati living the her job as her maid due to her upcoming marriage
