Teele pe Teelu

Teele pe Teelu aaya,
Teele pe Teelu aaya

Teele pe baarish hui,
Teelu geelu geelu hua

Teele pe shaalu aai,
Shaalu ek chhatri laai

Teelu tha, Shaalu thi,
Aur Chhatri thi ek,

Hona kya tha...
Dono mein hua iilu iilu

Teele se utre dono halu halu,
Saamne aaya Shaalu ka Khaalu.

Khaalu ko dekh Teelu hua peelu peelu,
Khaalu ne maarkar kiya Teelu ko neelu neelu

Ro Rokar Shaalu boli...
 "I hate you Khaalu,
I hate you Khaalu".

Dard mein Teelu bola..
"Shalu, Tu mere bina jee le,
Mein Tere bina Jeelu"

Ro Rokar Shaalu boli..."I hate both of you, I hate both of you"

O Honkers

O honkers, you make me go bonkers

I stop at the red light, can't move an inch,
I wonder what irks you, did someone pinch??

You have to rush at times and I let you go,
But you blow so hard, is there something I owe?

Biking in the wee hours, I sing along,
The lane is all yours and yet you bombard my song

I am sane, with the traffic I keep pace, no one likes to move slow,
O brothers, it's your impatience that makes you blow

I don't dwell on the road, home is where we want to be,
But there is someone ahead of me, can't you see??

Some never budge from this habit, others carry the load,
Mind you, that noise is a poison for cops on the road

I know it's crowded, cars everywhere, it's a scary fleet,
If you mind your hand, be calm, there can be peace on the street

Come out of this habit, if you care,
Noise is a killer, we are all aware

Please stop O Honkers, don't make me go bonkers.

-Haresh (Please try not to honk)

Hum Uncle ho chale hain

Hum Uncle ho chale hain,
Hum Uncle ho chale hain.

Fashion se pare, trend se door,
Sober and simple ho chale hain.
Puraani shirt, maile joote,Aur
comfortable lag rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain.

Jin baalon ko sawaarne mein hote the hameshaa late,
Unhe hum bohot 'miss' kar rahe
hain,
Missej ke notice karne par hi..
'Shave' kar rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain. 

Shopping ka mazaa sirf aunty hi leti hain,
Hum bas card par 'EMI' bhar rahe hain, 
Dost aur dosti yaadon mein hi rehte hain,
Free time mein chintu ki 'care' kar rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain.

Savings ab nai guitar ke liye nahi,
Chintu ki padhaai ke liye kar rahe hain,
Apne liye kuch pasand bhi aaye to feelings ko 'ignore' kar
rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain. 

Fun aur excitement ke maaine badal
rahe hain,
Thoda sa time mile to 'So' rahe hain,
Na impression jamaate hain, na impress hote hain,
Roz mile kaam ko bas poora kar rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain.

Focus goal par ab bhi hai, 
Par energy aur 'enthu' saath chhod gaye hain,
Paison se badhkar kuch nahi,
Is thought ko 'second thought' de rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain.

Ladkiyon aur filmon ko bhulaakar,
Tax aur investment 'discuss' kar rahe hain,
Jawaan ab dikhte nahi, Budhaape ke aane se dar rahe hain,
Hum uncle ho chale hain.

-In my 30s,
Haresh

A dream, so sweeet

My morning starts with a vista view of the himalayas from my chair and hot cappuccino on my table

Its a holiday and I go on a drive on the long roads of Texas in my Lamborgini

I stop in the plains of Mongolia to lie down in the open

A glass of belgium wine in hand, I watch Dutch musicians celebrate life with Music

My child appears and wants me to take him to an evening football match in Manchester

From there I come home and my wife is ready with Coldplay night concert tickets in Norway

We call it a day and come to our suite in a resort in Mauritius.

And as one never wakes up in one's dream, I wake up in my home at Rahatni, PCMC.

Balance

Balance is most important in life

Mad in love, you lose
Mad about work, you lose

Mad about food, you lose
Mad about health, you lose

Mad about entertainment, you lose
Mad about fun, you lose

Mad about friends, you lose
Mad about family, you lose

Control your madness, get in the balance and
do not think much about what you lose.

Binness karne chala launda

Binness karne chala launda,
Binness karne chala launda.

Karta naukri baabu waali,
Tem to tem deta tha duty,
Routine ki life se bore tha banda,
Binness karne chala launda.

Khaata saadi daal aur gawaar,
Aur aadhi 'Peejaa' mahine mein ik baar,
Bola, 'Kyun na piyen roz daaru soda'
Binness karne chala launda.

Aata ghar par shaam dhalte hi,
Aanjoy karta misaij ki company,
Khush tha par khushi ko rupyon se tolta,
Binness karne chala launda.

Khush thi phamily 15 hajaar mein,
Ghar tha, motor thi aur TV hall mein,
Par use chaahiye thi nai 'Honda',
Binness karne chala launda.

Market ki karli zara si research,
Aur thodi si opportunity search,
Friend ko bola..'Now is the time, Banta'
Binness karne chala launda.

Le lee risk, chhod di naukri,
Wife ko lekar confidence mein, maa ko bola 'Not to worry',
'Now or Never' ka dekar funda,
Binness karne chala launda.

Utra market mein 'Mr. Tripathi',
Logon ko bola...'I provide services with sincerity'
Dar dar bhatak kar graahak dhoondta,
Binness karne chala launda.

Sau mein se uski sunta koi ek,
Cumpateesan dene waale the anek,
Mushkil se aata haath koi murga,
Binness karne chala launda.

Karta gaya savings ko invest,
All his abilitiej were put to test,
Tension 24 ghante mandraata,
Binness karne chala launda.

Family ki wishes to door,
Khud hi ko waqt dene se majboor,
Itwaar bhi working day ban jaata,
Binness karne chala launda.

Chintoo ki school fees ka time aaya,
Misaij ko bola, 'Kahaan se laun, Chhaaya?'
Raashan ka hi kharch nikaal paata,
Binness karne chala launda.

Lekin usne nahi kiya surrender,
'Never give up' ka tha aasaan sa mantar,
Sacrifice aur mehnat se wo ladhta,
Binness karne chala launda.

Aakhir ek din mil gai wo deal,
khaabon mein jise karta wo feel,
Daudne laga uska bhi dhanda

Binness kar gaya wo launda
Binnessman ban gaya wo launda

A Blog on Clog

Clogger calls himself an urban Indian, Stands by his prejudices, And claims himself to be a true citizen. Clogger clogs the roads, Plies alone in his car meant for four more Drives to cover distances so short, he would walk before. Clogger clogs his stomach, Keeps away from nutritious and healthy food, Junkies and fries, he gobbles in a happy mood. Clogger clogs waste, Keeps self and his abode fresh and clean, Litters outside, does not care for the green, And yet, he preaches ... Hygiene. Clogger clogs his veins, loves drinking and smoking, Spoils the air, struggles with breathing, And yet never reads the "Statutory warning". Clogger clogs his brain, Accumulates wealth at the cost of stress, More of knowledge, less of wisdom, lands him in distress. Stop the clog Oh Clogger, pleads this blogger, Stop the clog Oh Clogger.
