~::~ Froggy Love Story ~::~

yessshhh..!! looks like its raining frogs 😀

But this time its a poem and that to a froggy love poem 😀

this one was initially conceptualized as a story  for Sree who has been nicknamed Froggy 😀

and all the other characters are our very own real life friends 😀

But to protect their identities they havent been mentioned here 😀

so here’s the Froggy Love Story


~::~ Froggy Love Story ~::~

Froggy Pinku happy and gay

Entered fashion week to hop and sashay

Let his eyes wander till he found a maiden

Yellowy her name, with spots on her laden

Fell for her head over heels

Hopped to propose her on his 4 knees

But little did he know she was the wrong lady

Yellowy had given her heart to Purple already

Heartbroken and wrought Pinku hopped to his big pond

Jumped into cold waters trying to commit suicide, severe bonds

Sadly he dint realize water was just another home

He lay at the bottom despaired and lovelorn

Along came a frog catcher who owned an eatery

That specialized in frog legs as its favorite delicacy

Pinku was caught and captured for life

Neither did he struggle for he knew not strife

PInku’s owner came in search for her darling frog

Only to realize he was ready to be burnt on fire logs

She tried to save him from the cruel catcher’s hands

But had to duel a sorceress of the catcher’s lands

The sorceress took Pinku home, put him by the window sill

Whilst she took care of her own pet frog with Orangey frill

One look at Pinku and Orangey skipped a heart beat

Cos he was the most charming froggy she would ever meet

The night turned cold while the hearts set afire

Orangey rescued Pinku and they hopped across through mire

Kind and caring orangey, cupid struck Pinku’s heart

And he fell in love with her again from the start..

Thus began a love story that brings tears of laughter

Pinku and Orangey froggys hopped happily ever after

~::~ Down Pours Acrid Rain ~::~

Phhoooeeyyy…

It has been like a sabbatical that I am back on my blog…. 🙄

so here I am with another poem….

~::~ Down Pours Acrid Rain ~::~

Tiny little butterflies

Teetering over flowers

Faraway peacock cries

Announcing monsoon showers

Bedewed stooping trees

Puddles formed on roads

Children indulged in jumping sprees

Sheepishly croaking toads

Down pours acrid rain

Burning away my pain

~

I stand arms spread wide

As Tiny droplets tinge

Hurt and soreness snide

But calmness does impinge

Stood there seeping in

Every droplet that caressed

Felt contentment within

Unleashing feelings repressed

Down pours acrid rain

Burning away my pain

~::~ Dabangg ~::~

The overall music score would be an average but for 1 single song with a total of 3 versions this album stands out.. No prizes for guessing which one.. Duh!! Raahat bhai’s song Tere Mast Mast Do Nain which has 3 versions – his solo, duet with Shreya and a remix..  the success of this album to a very large extent rides on the success of just a couple of songs.. Firstly Raahat Bhai’s song apart from that Munni Badnaam Hui largely for mass appeal , Malaika Arora Khan’s gyrations and definitely the Item number part of it.. This one is sure to be a hit not only for all weddings and college fests but even with the local autowallahs.. Why even I love it already..  Just waiting to catch a glimpse at Malaika’s jhatkas and matkas.. Humka Peeni Hai again would draw in the crowds for its uncanny resemblance to Khaike Paan banaraswala.. Nonetheless to all those who like folksy songs this one’s gonna be a super hit.. My rating would be 3.5/5

Chori Kiya re Jiya Sonu Nigam Shreya Ghosal – soft melodious song.. a nice romantic duet.. it has a tad western influence with respect to the music.. For a film based in Bihar.. I wonder why and how.. but nonetheless it’s a lovely number.. The tune somehow reminds me of Sonu’s music albums.. Not sure which song though.. But brings out that effect.. The lyrics are nice.. A tad predictable though.. the lines “tune hi chori kiya re jiya.. mora jiya are a lil addictive they stick in ur head even after the song is over.. Certified Listenable..Why? cos I think it wud take some more time to sink in and make it a must listen 😛 So for now its CERTIFIED LISTENABLE

Hud Hud DabanggSukhwinder and Wajid –  a signature Sukhwinder song.. the perfect number that you would except sukhwinder to belt out.. it has a head swaying effect on you.. atleast  had it on me.. so m speaking for myself.. there is a folksy effect to the whole song and I definitely aint surprised going by the location of the movie.. Wajid has complemented Sukhwinder perfectly.. the lyrics are spattered with bihari hindi.. pretty much like a war cry kinda song..  CERTIFIED LISTENABLE

Humka Peeni hai Wajid, Master Salim and Shabab – it seems to start with a Khaike Paan Banaras wala effect.. its pretty much in the same lines.. only here its not paan but either alcohol/bhaang.. nonetheless this is one of those head nodding/leg shaking numbers.. to which u cant help swaying.. for all those in love with folksy numbers  and dance number fans are sure to like it.. somewhere in between I was reminded of Omkara –Beedi Jalayle.. so if u have enjoyed tht one u are sure to like this too.. the lyrics are complete with masti and slang.. “matka mein apni tho tounti lagayile..” wen I heard it for the first time I burst out laffing.. basically cos I don’t know wat it means.. If any of you biharis out there and know wat it means kindly enlighten me.. And as for me since I love masti timepass dance numbers this goes for CERTIFIED MUST LISTEN

Tere Mast Mast Do NainRaahat Fateh Ali KhanDo I need to say anymore on why I like this song or what its certified as.. This is THE BEST SONG in this album.. Forget all the others and just listen to this.. Its one of the signature Rahat songs.. Mindblasting I say.. pehle peher tujhe dekha tho dil mera dhadka haye dhadka haaye jal jal utha hoon main shola jo pyar ka bhadka haaye bhadka haaye.. If someone was to sing this song like raahat for me.. I wud be ghayal in a jiffy 😛  I have no words to express the beauty of this song.. all I can say is CERTIFIED MUST LISTEN

Munni Badnaam mamta Sharma & Aishwarya –  new singers on the block.. and a perfect Item Number song.. I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes on to become the most raging song of this year.. With Malaika Arora Khan performing onscreen I am one eager human waiting to catch the video 😉 if you have liked item numbers like beedi and namak ishq ka and babuji zara dheere chalo you are sure to like this one atleast I do .. the lyrics are ROFL stuff… I mean imagine sayin “main zandu balm hui darling tere liyemaannn I was frigging laughing when I heard that.. but this one’s a really dhinchakkk number I have myself grooving whenever I hear this one 😀 CERTIFIED MUST LISTEN

Humka Peeni hai (remix)Wajid, Master Salim and Shabab – the original was funtoosh.. and the remix is just about fast paced with some additional beats and liberal use of western instruments..this one again is definitely something m sure im gonna like n simply for the fast beats and masti effect.. CERTIFIED LISTENABLE

Tere Mast Mast Do NainRaahat Fateh Ali Khan & Shreya Ghosal – this ones the duet version of the other song… the moment Shreya starts u are even more mesmerized with the song than u were.. now I cant ignore Raahat nor Shreya and I cant do injustice to Shreya  by sayin I don’t like this one… just cos I am a Raahat Fan 😀 😛 so nonetheless both these songs are simply awesome.. CERTIFIED MUST LISTEN

Munni Badnaam hui remix Mamta Sharma & Aishwarya – if u have liked the original u are sure to like this 😀  Not sure how many of you have heard the Kooke Koyaliya song from Life partner.. if you have then you know wat to expect from this song.. U like it u hate it but u cant ignore it, nice catchy groovy Item Number –  CERTIFIED MUST LISTEN

Dabangg Theme this ones more of an audio theatrical trailer than a theme in itself.. I have never come across a theme with dialogues.. whereas this one has all the effect of the punches the gunshots the screams the punch dialogues et all.. the musical interludes are ok not that great or anything.. But nice the highlights wud be the latino effect.. CERTIFIED MISSABLE

Tere Mast Mast Do Nain – remix Raahat Fateh Ali Khan – sigh!!! Wat do I say now.. They have not only given us 2 versions of this song already.. They even went on to give us a remix.. Not that I am too impressed with the remix.. But then as I said I can’t\ ignore Raahat but given a choice I can definitely pass over this one for the original solo one 😉 so this one goes in for a CERTIFIED LISTENABLE

That’s it on Dabangg peeps… Go get the music and enjoy.. the musical pundits please stick to Raahat’s songs, the dance peeps can chck out Humka Peeni Hai and ofcourse Munni Badnaam Hui.. for those who love folksy tunes get the whole album guys and for the others – listen to the songs before you download them..

~::~ Frog Prince Revisited ~::~

 

What an irony of my life

Just to be another’s wife

Umpteen tests undertaken

So that identities aint mistaken

Every one that comes in front

Impolite and outright blunt

Moment they lay eyes on me

Flock my patio hopping in glee

Unabashed youth here none

 I still await my perfect one

Wonder how many more kisses to blow

Till I find my one, who would show

His Princely-ness, Chivalry and candor

My perfect knight in shining armor..

When shall thou come O prince..?

When shall my true love win..?

Also Ji has been Sweet enough to give me a Perfect Poet Award yet again…

~::~ Birthday Babbles ~::~

Due to some unavoidable circumstances such as my Birthday *batting eyes* Jack has been generous enough to not make an appearance this week… He wants me to revel in the happiness and the adulation that I have received yesterday..

How sweet Jack.. Thank you very much..

Aaahh… so I guess most of you were SWEET enough to take a dig at me at the corporate birthdayblog..

And well I accept it graciously cos it definitely wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be

Oh! yes I expected worse … but I guess I am so saintly and Angelic that people dint have the heart to pull my leggies…

Thanks a ton to all those who remembered me and wished me through blogs, msgs, calls and chipkalis(FB wall mates )

Thanks for making the day special and all the adulation

Spl thanks to Princess for having accepted my request and post the birthday blog so I can read the wishes and sleep

Yes peeps I did wait up til 2am so I can read your wishes and then I tucked in tight…

Errr.. I have already read it like 2-3 times now..  Why?? Cos I value the trouble that has gone into making those questions mailing peepl and collating them…

Thankiieee all once again

And for those who forgot…

HOW DARE YOU???

Hmmpfff…!!!!

Sigh!! Nonetheless so here’s my return gift to you all…

What else but poetry 😉 as POO said she wouldn mind me posting one

And for the others who called it Flood of Poetry.. boooo 😛 ab bhugto 😈

~~~~


Midnight glory, wishes galore

Calls, sms, wall posts all poured

The day dawned nice n bright

Cloudy but no rain and light

The first thing I do with delight

Is hit the birthday blog site

Cos I know you have wishes for me

This makes me rub my hands in glee

Cos I know it’s time for some serious damage

Ur brains u wud have picked and rummaged

Crazy questions and even crazier answers

Luckily none of you threw curses

Shahid, poems, birth date and studs

Even gave me a guru -peacock headed dud

TR was made to rhyme in style

I hate Edward, but it made me smile

Shayaris and poems filled with emotions

Sentiments run high, while eyes moisten

My shopping styles & behavior attacked

At vaat lagayingg none of you lacked

Went for a movie and brought some books

Impeccably dressed even caught some looks

The special news was on its way

Whoop with joy and make my day

The bestest gift I could have got this year

Darlingest Froggy is NO more an “Eligible Bachelor

Yes yes indeed he’s hitched

Wonder how many fans feel ditched 😛

The bestest gift for my birthday

Overwhelmed with joy, what more can I say??

Oh! What a perfect day it has been..

The most wonderful I have seen

Thank you all for the wishes & adulation

I feel loved & pampered, complete revelation

~~~~~

Phew!!!! This was a looonnggg post and a long poem too..

But wat to do couldn’t control the words.. On days like these when the emotions run high, the words flow unleashed…

Sigh!!

~::~ Goodbye~::~


Cloudy Dark rainy night

Lonely Star twinkled bright

Caressing zephyr unfurls my mind

In retrospect thoughts unwind

Moments spent together

Talking nonsense, even weather

Sipping tea having fun

Laughing over our lil puns

Rain drenched, jumping puddles

Thunder & lightening made us huddle

Movies, music, senseless jabber

These memories make it even harder

To accept brutal truth’s throes

Harsh reality that life bestows

My feelings I could never convey

One murky night you passed away

Tears always brim my eyes

I never got to say goodbye

*Note –  This poem is dedicated to a dear friend and colleague who was my partner in crime all the time that I spent in Reliance -DAKC.. He suffered from throat cancer which he never realised and when they did diagnose it was too late to cure.. I never went to meet him at the hospital as I knew I couldnt stand him bedridden with all those tubes thru his body and I knew I would break down… Which he definitely wouldnt approve of… He was the closest buddy I have ever had.. I still feel guilty for not having met him.. and I hope he forgives me…  where ever he is 😥

You will always be missed buddy 😥 and no one I believe can ever take your place pal.. I miss you 😦

~::~ Dance Of Love ~::~

It seems looongggg looonggg ago since I wrote a poetry here 😛

yes yes… so here i am back again to trouble you with my insane err.. ook super-insane poems 😛

~::~ Dance of Love ~::~


She danced through the meadows

Impassive to any lurking shadows

Spring in her step, arms stretched apart

Curls let loose, rhythm in her heart

Dancing to nature’s tunes

O’er multi-hued flowery dunes

Her lover returning from faraway lands

She awaits with aromatic garlands

Moving with such elegance

Fair maiden with love immense

Pirouettes she took, as if in stupor

Round & round till her feet turned sore

Exhausted she fell, amidst rose bushes

He came searching; saw her worn out, rushes

Her hands in his, he interlaced

Took her in his arms, caressing her face

Bestowed on luscious lips, a magical kiss

She arose to his passion, his love’s abyss

The dance of love, her prelude

Concluded with him, albeit brief interlude

~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed it..

Do lemme know your thoughts..

~::~ Travel(r)ogues ~::~

In the last week I have been travelling in the BEST buses.. now don’t get me wrong its not that I have never travelled in a bus.. Paah!! Born n brought up in Mumbai travelling in local trains and buses like eating breathing and sleeping.. they are  a part n parcel of life here..

Ok then why did I mention it now.. Duh!! cos this post is about travelling in buses.. (neva knew u guys were so silly 🙄 ) Sigh!! So back to the post..  owing to my exams for the past coupla days I have been travelling in buses and the time spent is almost 1-1.5hrs.. and me being me couldn’t help noticing the types of people around me..

So here goes my observations and the major types of travelers we meet in our journey –

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Snoozers –  they form a major chunk of the public that travels in public transports, train and buses alike… you know I pity them.. poor peeps must be having lots of khatmals aka bedbugs that don’t let them sleep at night.. so I guess they are trying to compensate the sleep that they missed out on.. the worst is when they fall all over u and drool on ur shoulders in the pretext of sleeping.. ugghh!!!!

Sigh..!!

Moving on…

VIPs –  oh well they aren’t any politicos or actors or even a senior member of any group/institution or whatever.. they are just people who think they are VIPs.. they sit on the seats as if they own the bus.. they keep getting incessant calls that naturally disturb the snoozers and irk the fellow passangers.. they talk on the phone as if they are the MOST imp peeps on earth and most imp they talk loudly for all to hear.. (and peepl call me loudmouth 🙄 )

Watchers – naah naah they are not detectives or spies.. But hell yaa they do act like one 😛 They keep observing people all around them as if each one is a culprit or a possible criminal.. They are the ones who look jumpy, roving eyes.. Everyone who aboards/alights even moves from their seat and this person has hawk eyes on them.. 🙄

Fighter Cocks – as the name suggests.. They are just waiting to pounce on anyone who so much as freaking touches them unintentionally..They generally are straight faced/poker-faced.. Some of them have blood shot eyes as if they haven’t slept in ages.. or are under weed or some other drug.. 🙄

Whiners/Cribbers – as the name suggest all they do is crib and whine.. The weather, the bus conditions, roads, work, kids, spouse, the seat the window the railing.. baamm baamm baamm.. all they do is cry cry cry..

Whisperers – talk so softly u can hardly hear them.. Even a pin can be heard in silence compared to their voices.. Some of them belong to the koochiekooing club.. Who are always on phones/handsfree koochiekooing with their bf/gf blah blah..

School hours – well if you are lucky to travel during the school hours then you get the a whole jingbang of species.. The kids today aren’t naïve/innocent anymore.. You have bullys hidden in them..The whole lot of them buying tickets screaming at the conductor “ unkil mera pehle mera pehle” and jostling each other.. Pulling pushing bags.. Fighting for empty seats.. Poor conductor scolding them with “oi chup karo nai tho sab ko utaar doonga bus se”.. awww only thing left was him pulling his bacha-kucha hair…sigh!!!

Harmless souls – they are the best peeps to be travelling with.. These are peeps who are simple silent calm.. Minding their own business.. Listening to music or reading books.. Staring outside the window.. peeps who see a pregnant women or elderlies standing and make place for them.. Yep saintly souls.. 😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~

So which of these are you…

And if you have come across anymore varieties.. be my guest and share the same in the comments section.. 😀

That’s it from Megzone for now..!!

Keep Smiling..!! Keep Rocking…!! Keep Blogging..!!

Cheerios..!! :mrgreen:
