Halkat Jawani?

Wine, Women and Waka Waka
Two weeks ago, FourSeasons Wines in collaboration with Novotel Juhu had a ‘Wine Pairing with Food’ event on a very wet Sunday afternoon. I don’t cook nor do I drink, so I was perhaps the most inapt guest choice. But then again, I was a blogger and pretty adventurous in ‘spirit’, so somewhere, I think, it…

One of my ever favourite Ghazal singers, I’ve spent many a childhood days listening to his soulful melodies, along with my dad. This particular song was from his album, ‘A sound affair’ released in 1985. My dad always said, the…

Act of Contrition
Image Courtesy:Google ‘New lives for old’, I kept aloud A trade that bespoke temptation O’er tulle windows of crowded alleys I scavenged with a strange fixation A frail heart, a meek disposition Almost anything would perfectly do I had a city at my mercy to plunder Oblivious to a fate, they had no clue I…

Un-Stained Melody.
Image Courtesy : Google My cries are drenched in the welcome He receives for being the family heir Why was I cut from my mother’s womb? Don’t I deserve the same love and care? My sodden tears have no effect For they’ve taken away my books He still gets to play and go…
