Naina Thag Lenge...

"Naino kee mat maaniyo re, naino kee mat suniyo re

Naina thag lenge 
Jagte jaadu phukenge re jagte jagte jaadu
Jagte jaadu phukenge re ninden banjar kar denge
Naino kee mat maaniyo re, naina thag lenge.

Bhala manda dekhe naa paraaya naa saga re
Naino ko toh dasne kaa chaska laga re
Naino kaa jehar nashila re 
Baadalo me satrangiya bonve, bhor talak barsaave
Baadalo me satrangiya bonve, naina banvra kar denge

Naina raat ko chalte chalte swargaan me le jaave
Megh malhaar ke sapne dije hariyaalee dikhlaave
Naino kee juban pe bharosa nahee aata
Likhad parakh naa rasid naa khaata

Saree baat hamaaree 
Bin baadal barsaaye saawan, saawan bin barsaata
Bin baadal barsaaye saawan naina baanwara kar denge

Naino kee mat maaniyo re, naino kee mat suniyo
Naino kee mat suniyo re, naina thag lenge
Jagte jaadu phukenge re jagte jagte jaadu
Jagte jaadu phukenge re ninde banjar kar denge
naina thag lenge "

- from the movie Omkara 

Like A River...

 

"Ela ela ela ela,

Nallo kalla chupedella,

Yedarilo godarilla nallo alla apedelaa,

Ee maayanii nammedi elaa,

Ee matanii chepedi elaa..."

The Wild Orchid

All the numbers swim together and all the shadows settle
Doors forced open shut again-

  A flytrap and a petal.

When all retreat and the moon is level, soft skin starts to shrivel
When dreams made real become less sweet-

The orchid and the metal. 

Eyes burn and claws rush in to fill them,
And in the morning after, night falls in love with the light-so clear.

When will I have my eyes...

      The Orchid is the largest family of flowering plants with between 21,950 and 26,049 currently accepted species...

Weaving your web of Design,

Your Skein blots my Dreams. "

Straight From the Horse's Eye!

When a horse regards you with a large and liquid eye, the question of where you want to be has been answered...

In their eyes shine stars of wisdom and courage to guide men to the heavens.
