General

Wanted to pen down some of the things I listened to/read in the past few days. Didnt know where to put it. Hopefully will keep on editing this same post in the future:


Sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back..But step back too far and you aint fighting at all - Million Dollar Baby

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism - Million Dollar Baby

There were many other awesome quotes, but I will keep it at those two for now.

Then there is this beautiful poem by Gulzar (got it from Srivani) which I keep on listening to these days. It is called Bauchaar and it is one of the 10 poems he had written for Dus Kahaniyan. Here it goes:

mai kuch kuch bhoolta jaata hun ab tujhko
tera chehra bhi ab to dhundlane laga hai ab kahyal mein
badalne lag gaya hai ab wo subah shaam ka mammool
jisme tujhse milne ka bhi ek mamool shamil tha
tere khat aate rehte the
to yaad rehta tha mujhe tere aawaz ke surkhiyan
tere aawaz ko kaagaz pe rakhke maine chaha tha ki PIN kar lun
wo jaise titliyon ke par laga leta hai apne ALBUM mein
tere be ko daba kar baat karana
wa par hoton ka challa
gol hokar ghoom jata tha
bohot din ho gaye dekha nahi
na khat mila koi
sachhi bohot din ho gaye
teri aawaz ki bauchaar mein bhiga nahin hun mai
