VINTAGE AASHIQ..........

Smile again....

Not much has been happening around us for the past week or so that would make us smile. However, the stars are probably thinking on other lines. I don't believe in astrology, so the previous line was supposed to be taken literally.

I don't think i need to remind anyone about the bizzare yet beautiful way in which the stars decided to arrange themselves on this past monday night. And i'm giving the stars the entire credit for the same, as i don't believe in god. Anyway, i'm just glad that all the newspapers finally managed to do something positively thoughtful by putting the image of the stars smiling on the TAJ Hotel on their front pages. Though they did not manage to impress me, at least they proved that they can also make someone 'smile' while reading them, which is something that hardly ever happens.

The title of this post was obviously meant for the city of Mumbai which has always proved the fact that the harder it gets knocked-out; the sooner it gets back to it's feet. So, the arrangement of the stars may have disbanded again, but may the smile on the face of Mumbai return and stay on, until hell freezes over.

As far as i'm concerned, since it was the 1st of December, i had my own reasons for smiling to myself. For those of you who don't know me that well, please stop scratching your heads as you probably have no idea what i'm talking about, and hence please don't even attempt to decipher the following lines...

Despite the blues and all the fear,

I need not worry until she's here,

The sun will shine and the clouds will clear,

As there'll be a 1st of December in every year......
