Disclaimer: This author is literally in high spirits while writing this post.
What makes a profound heir to a booming software company, dance and almost strip publicly in front of a bunch of school kids?
Yes it is C2H5OH - One liquid that would unquestionably win the silver medal, as the most needed liquid to sustain life in this planet. In the most desirable category it's simply federer(read as unbeatable,any queries ask vijay mallya)
This liquid is a great healer, amazing entertainer and the most profitable FMCG product ever (screw all those teetotalers). It takes you to the super excited state which till now I always thought was possible only for those lucky electrons in the chemistry textbook to experience. This is also the best lie detector ever invented, as it is almost impossible to fib after having a date with it.
Don't you feel that the disclaimer given earlier as totally unnecessary and it is painfully obvious that I am in a high?
Alcohol,fag,or any other drug creates this virtual halo,the amazing sense of weightlessness-(who told "you got to be in space to experience zero-gravity") and makes you forget yourself as told by many of my spirited friends.
But today I have got all these symptoms and I swear- the only place I ve touched alcohol is in my chemistry lab.
How come?
A big NO, to those who guessed the answer to be love. I am happy being single, despite the valentine fever.
I joined yuri gagarin by just experiencing the pleasure of, ten hours of sufi music- qawwali,ghazal,thumiri,hindustani.Yes it was an experience indescribable through this anglo-saxonic offspring(english). Is it the music or that mysterious Urdu that soothes my body,heals my pains, mesmerizes my thoughts,makes me to blog at 3 in the morning and overwhelms me completely? The spell that Urdu casts on you despite knowing only 50percent of it is simply unmatched by any other language. Just spelling words like khwaab turns me on now, how I despise those Javed akhthars,gulzaars and the salims!
Gulzar wrote for manisha koirala in chaiya chaiya as "uski zubaan urdu ki tharah". Greatest praise that she could ever get.
The power of this language and its musical forms has made a non-muslim think and learn about that religion. Why not consider these kinds of magical elements of any religion, instead of violence as its USP and market it. The Eternal epics and temple architecture can be the Hindu USP.(The marketer in me refuses to sleep)
Had the radical fundamentalists and religious leaders considered this, the world would have been a better place to live in..
The agnostic boozer saves the day for the spiritualists... Time for some qawwali- tere naina in my name is khan..
khudha hafiz..)!!!
