Month: October 2003

I kept staring at the moon today as I walked to my car from the subway station.
It looked as if someone glued it to the sky. Looked so fake.

It made me wonder, if the universe is moving towards a state of entropy, why is it that there is so much order?

Main pal do pal ka shaayar hu, pal do pal meri kahaani hai
Pal do pal meri hasti hai, pal do pal meri jawaani hai
Main pal do pal ka shaayar hu…

Mujhse pehle kitne shaayar, aaye aur aakar chale gaye
Kuchh aahein bhar kar laut gaye, kuchh naghme gaakar chale gaye
Woh bhi ek pal ka qissa thay, main bhi ek pal ka qissa hu
Kal tumse juda ho jaaunga, woh aaj tumhaara hissa hu
Main pal do pal ka shaayar hu

Kal aur aayenge naghmo ki, khilti kaliya chun-ne waale
Mujhse behtar kehne waale, tumse behtar sun-ne waale
Kal koyi mujhko yaad kare, kyu koyi mujhko yaad kare
Mashruf zamaana mere liye, kyu waqt apna barbaad kare
Main pal do pal ka shaayar hu

Song sung by Mukesh, in the film Khabi Khabi.

My favourite part being:
Kal koyi mujhko yaad kare, kyu koyi mujhko yaad kare
Mashruf zamaana mere liye, kyu waqt apna barbaad kare

I voted today.

I drove into the public school, well I actaully parked the car in the parking lot.
Then I made my way to the gym, where the polling stations were setup.

I registered myself, because I wasn’t registered before. Then headed off to the box where I’m supposed to put my ballot. The lady there handed me the ballot, it was folded. While she was explaining to me what I was supposed to do, I started doing what any other normal human being would do with a folded piece of paper, I started to unfold it. I was quick told not to do so in front of them. It’s my first time I told them. I had to go to this place where I could vote without anyone seeing who I vote for. So I did. I came back and put my vote in the box.

All done, my first time voting for anything political.
I changed my decision, I posted a few days ago that I would vote liberal in hopes of ousting the PC MP in my riding. But then that would be really throwing my vote away, if I didn’t vote for who I wanted to vote for. I wanted to vote for someone, not against someone. So I voted NDP. I don’t care if the PC candidate wins again here as long I gave my vote to the party I wanted to.

Now when I see the tabulated results in my riding, the number beside the candidate I voted for will include my vote. that’s neat.
