aaj rang hai..

The moon shines in all its glory tonight- it is a special full moon- it is Guru Poornima today.

The Qawwaal, his back towards the Dargah of Aamir Khusro , front facing the Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin, sings the eternal “Aaj Rang Hai...”.

A power cut.

Just the moonlit night, the dargah and the divine song.

Heaven.

Of happiness and barking dogs

"Unhappiness remains; causes change" #ConversationswithHP

So..once there was this conference of dogs and big...handsome...well-fed American dog meets this skinny, poorly-fed dog from India...

The Indian dog looks with envy at the American counterpart and says..."wow, what a life you seem to have...great food...great life...you have all that I aspire for...you can do all that I can only dream of...wow"...

The American dog takes in a deep breath and says, "well, you can still do something I really wish I could do, but I never can do"...

Perplexion in the expression..."What is it?"...

"You can bark as much as you like, any time...any where.."
