Ghalib on my mind today.
"Kahoon kis se main keh kia hai
Shab-e-ghum bury bala'a hai
Mujhay kia bura tha marna, 'gar aik baar hota.
Huey mur k hum jo rusva,
huey kyun na gharq-e-darya,
na kabhi janazaa uthta, na kahin mazaar hota."
"Hazaron khwahishain aesy keh her khwahish pe dum nikle,
Bohot nikle merey armaan laikin phir bhi kum nikley.
Mohabbat mai nahin hey farq jeenay aur marnay ka
usy ko daikh ker jeetay hain jis kaafir per dum niklay.
Khuda kay vaastay say purda na kaabay sey utha zalim
Kahin aesa na ho yaan bhi vohi kaafir sanam niklay."
Another trip down memory lane. Zoran and I have been watching The Thunder Cats all afternoon. Didnt know they still showed it. So happy to see Zoran as fascinated by it as I was a century ago. Liono, Cheetara, Tigera, Panthero, Wily kit and Wily Kat, Snarf, Jaga, Mumra.
But one thing still remains unchanged. Mumra still gives me the creeps. I remember as a kid, after every episode of Thunder cats I would hide under the covers at night...drenched in sweat...hearing Mumras voice coming from some corner of the room. But I never gave up watching the cartoon. Had too great a crush on Liono to be able to give up:)
