Breaking The Ice

Neha : Do you think anything has changed in your life after marriage

Vivek : Hmmm. Why this question suddenly?

Neha : Just like that. Some of my friends were asking me this question and I can think of a big list, just wanted to know what you think about this.

Vivek : I'll have to think about it.

Neha : Hey you have not posted anything on your blog for a long time, why don't you write a post on this topic.

Vivek : Wonderful.You know what I've been thinking of posting something for a long long time but somehow can't start only.

Neha : And why is that?

Vivek : There is this small poem from Gulzar which will aptly describe why I'm not able to write anything.

Nazm Uljhi Hui Hai Seene Mein
Misre Atke Hai Hothon Par.
Lafs Kagaj Par Baiththe Hi Nahi..
Udte Firte Hai Titliyon Ki Tarah.

Kab Se Baithaa Hun Main Jaanam
Saade kaagaz Pe Likh Ke Naam Tera
Bas Tera Naam Hi Mukammal Hai
Is Se Behtar Bhi Nazm Kyaa Hogi

( Translates to
A poem is tangled in my chest.
Stanzas are trapped at my lips,
Fluttering like butterflies
words refuse to settle on paper.
I have labored for hours my darling
After I wrote your name
on a blank sheet of paper.
Your name itself is so beautiful.
What poem can excel that? .. (Thank you Google and Rumi.. whoever you are for the wonderful translation. Sorry I lifted it without your permission :-) !!!)


Neha : Aapki Zarra-Nawazi ka behad-behad shukriya.

Vivek : Kya baat hai.. You also getting in poetic mood. :-)

Neha : Bus Janaab Ki Meherbaaniyan Hai.

Vivek : Acha let's come back to the main topic, you wanted to know what has changed for me after marriage.

Neha : Yup

Vivek : You want to know good things or bad things.

Neha : Acha.. bad things bhi hai kya ;-)

Vivek : Why not? A coin always has two sides.

Neha : Hmm.. Tell me both.

Vivek : Done... Next post will be on this topic. Keep watching this space.



P.S. - Note that Jhum has been replaced by Neha in this and all the future posts , as all the imaginations in the name of Jhum have become a reality in form of Neha. :-)
