i had spent the day
friendless, lonely and sad,
a stranger to myself.
after drowning the day
on the sea shore,
i walked back
to my empty house
on the deserted street.
the moment
i opened the door,
the book on my table
flipped its pages
and said:
friend,
where were you
for so long?
- gulzar (trans. das)

only aamir? why? what -ism is this?
i didn’t say i’d fly a kite with aamir.
with aamir, i’d only hold hands. =P

gulzar actually made a movie called kitaab. it’s lying in my closet here - i haven’t had a chance to see it yet.

i think i will make a list of gulzar movies to watch. hit the dvd shop and see what i can come out with.
