Usually, the journey from DLF Cybercity to Hauz Khas takes a total of 40 mins..but that is on METRO, and at peak traffic hours! Each minute is like 65 seconds, so it seems like more than an hour being spent on your journey half way through..
Today the stop watch displayed 90 mins,though it seemed like just half an hour!!In this while, the mind however took a journey back and in future
As ABC and I started in his car for Hauz Khas,( God bless him for helping me when i was unwell), i wondered, if we will have enough to speak about..will it be a silent boring journey that i cover??Only now when i sit and write this entry, i realise how we don;t know what next few minutes can turn out to be..very similar, and yet extremely different to the kind of experience it may have to offer...
This commuting i shall title as "Music,Memory and Masti" for it was replete with allllll of these elements. Starting from a serious conversation, i tried hard to focus on ABC's i-pad and look for a good song and since his play list was on M, the first song that got accidently played was " Mere Khwabon main jo Aaye"...both iof us , couldn;t stop taking our minds to Kajol, dancing in the rain, in her skimpy white dress, but her eyes full of hope,excitement and the passion that future held..That's it..the tone was set for the car ride..
From Aaj din chadiya of Love aaj Kal, to Dholna of Dil to Pagal hai, we kept punctuating these songs with small peeks into our lives, and the past times with which each of these songs was associated..No wonder each song had its own story in the years of adolescence till now..from movie songs to discussion of dialogoues, scenes..kajol again in KKHH , to Madhuri in DTPH, to Saif saying "Meera tum nahi samjhogi yaar" in love aajakal..
There were times we both couldn;t control our laughter and i had to tell him to concentrate on driving..While a bad heartbreak was his reason, Aishwarya's name as Megha was mine to hate the movie Mohahabattein..What a devastating impact love has on people we both thought...remembering our heartbreak songs..I f that wasn't enough, I reminded him of te song" Chup Chup Ke" from bunty Bubbly while all he could remember was Raaaaani in it...
And so we moved on to Singdi and Hookah Baar of 786...before i realised, we had reached Haus Khas..i got down.,.,took an auto...more rejuvenated that i was in the morning...
Guess music has that power and will continue to have for eternity...the notes will always flow through the threads of time..pick up yours..and recall the fond memories...Let your heart sing out its joy,its pain,its happiness..fear, but ultimately, remember that all is transient and that this shall pass too..so hold on to this moment and live it to the full..kyunki kya pata.."kal ho na ho";)
So here's a parting song from us...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW3Ed0lWfAU
