LOVE ACTUALLY

Was going through the folder ‘from shantanu.’
Its my big bro’s folder. It has some unique song collections. From vivaldi to nusrat fateh khan, from enya & dire straits to john coltraine & neil young& diamonds.
Opened d folder A Walk to Remember. D track from switchfoot. You.
Bro is at Maryland university, NY, the one where National Treasure2 was shot.
My bro made a song composition book. It contains all guitar chords. It got this song too.
“Not in me. It’s in you. Its you…….”
My all time favourite romantic song.
In d movie, dis song plays when mandy moore passes away & shane west moves over her dad’s home. D movie ends wit a beautiful sad climax &playing dis lovely song.
Kawalkar asked me at wardha station. He went to drop me there.
“abe rambo, koi achchi romantic movie bata”
honestly I never watch dis stuffs. My favourite till den was ‘A Lot like Love’. D best combo ever by Ashton kutcher & Amanda peet.

She said Nottin Hill is better. But I found dis one better.
Now don’t ask me who is she. She stays in delhi. Probably gonna get engaged by next year. She was my 2nd crush at school.
So where was i?
Ya
Dis movies were reffered to me by Batiston sir always. Dat guy used arranged all slow romantic like She is the one, the notebook, the last kiss, the holiday etc, from where I don’t know. Coz I would download all action buffs – Christian bale, Hugh jackman, Sylvester stallone movies.
He told me to watch Music & Lyrics before leavin sevagram.
So I was talking about Kawalkar. I recommend him ‘Walk to Remember.’ D guy gets flowed wit dis movie. Well I remember, I slept off during dis movie. d girl gets leukemia& she dies, den I woke up. But kawalkar was different.
Now he came up again. Wants another romantic movie.
By the time he was watching ‘Life in a Metro’. No doubt it was also good.
I recomended Love Actually. Its truly d best of all. Bollywood tried to copy dat in form of Salam e Ishq. But as usual, it turned out another rotten bollywood piece.

D best part I liked in Love Actually-
Keira knightly: [after watching Mark's video of her] But... you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me.
Andrew lincoln: I hope it's useful. Don't show it around too much. It needs a bit of editing. Look, I've gotta get to a lunch. Early lunch. You can just show yourself out, can't you?
[pauses]
Andrew : It's a... self-preservation thing, you see.
Den comes d track from dido – here with me. Beautiful composition by craig Armstrong, the Glasgow love theme. Its better dan d Cry composition by Hans zimmer[ for the holiday] & The Meadow by Alexander desplat [from New Moon].

Other movies like Titanic & Twilight presented eternal romance alongwith tragedies.
I remember how I teased ankita calling her bella, anurag Edward & tiwari Jacob. She kept shouting “arnab there is no jacob out here”
So wat. Its always fun to derive a love triangle out of everything for the onlookers.


It happens.
A sweet quote by a 7yrs old boy- love is when I can’t pay attention in class because I am busy in writing her 1st name with my last name.
This was an sms sent to me by rishi.
Rishi… love came to me like a nightingale. Which nightingale was he talking of I don’t know. The bastard points at something else & goes for something else.

Ankur. I remember his condition “ arnab yaar tu baith. Baat karni hai. Bata kya karoon. Abhi tak uska reply nahi aaya."

Navneet, back in d days of 1st year “abe Rambo. Neend nahi aa rhi hai yaar. Pata nahi kya hoga. Wo kya sochegi”
Sindel sir. D best of all of dem. Dis guy promoted me to ask for a girl’s contact on orkut. & he himself collapsed on coming in contact wit his crush. Every nite he would ask “abe arnab kuch aaya kya. Ayega to batana. Kisi aur ko mat batana”
Rathod “abe Rambo mai bata nahi sakta. Shayad se wo mujhe pasand karti hai”
Arjun’s presentation declined with d song “jaanam dekh lo, mit gayi duriyaan”. Later vinit vijay rathod went out crashing into the same pillar.
Ankush. Dis guy is surely flying high in d air, making pencil sketches of Nupur& asking us "does it match?"

I am referring a lot to other people. My 1st crush was way back in 1994, when I was 6years old, at school. She was a new comer. After came 2nd in 7th standard. 3rd was at kota. Rests 4th 5th 6th followed. Some at college, some at kolkata. Likewise.
I won’t be sharing much out here. Everytime I would fall for one, I would sing- “I wanna lay you down in a Bed Of Roses” by Bon Jovi.
Then when I hear she loves someone else, I sing “You deserve much Better Than Me” by Hinder.

Then comes the hatred part “All these things I hate revolve around Me!” by Bullet for my Valentine.
& if I remember her again “I still try to find my place in the Diary of Jane” by Breaking Benjamin.
Missing her "Here without u" by 3 Doors Down
If its nuisance, I dance on the track “She fucking Hates Me” by Puddle of Mudd.
Last time I remembered her, tears rolled out on listening to Teri Diwani of Kailash Kher.


Its d part where ur mind stops reasoning & ur heart keeps pounding telling u to go &tell her ur feelings for her. A guy needs to b absolutely raw hardcore to control an urge of that kind.
Love keeps hitting everyone. The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. It doesn’t care how much far u can possibly go with it. It doesn’t care for d reason dat u r ugly & why u r falling for a beautiful creature, which actually deserves to be with a thing as beautiful as her.
I remember my brother once said “bro, love is madness. It works well in gravity. All u need is a push” & den u just fall. The fall gives d joy of lifetime. U don’t care about d height of fall or d coming circumstances. Its good if u land up in the arms of d person whom u love &she embraces u. but if u fall straight down, as what happens in most of the cases, u hit d ground & den u realize d impact of the fall. Sometimes this impact takes away everything from a person’s life. That’s what Shakespeare said -
But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;

They say Adolf Hitler fell for a jewish girl at age of 16. He had plans of settling down with her at Persia. But she walked away with someone else. & world war2 followed.
Ever wondered why Nobel prize is never given for Maths. Alfred Nobel’s wife ran away with a maths professor.
Beethoven composed ‘For Elise’, after he turned deaf.
Alex Rose, the GnR vocalist, gave his best compilations in Sweet Child o’ Mine, when his childhood girlfriend accepted him, November Rain, in which he repents for losing her, Don’t Cry, he dedicated this for letting her go.

So guys. Keep ur eyes open& see where u r falling.
Someone said love makes us weak. That also is true. Hatred teaches us to live without anyone. It gifts us adversities of life. Sweet are the uses of adversity – Socrates.
The fact is this God gave u heart, mind & soul. He wants u to use all of them at every point. He made brave Spartans also, at the same He made Cleopetra, He made Helen too. It’s a different fact that Cupid turns up from nowhere & shoots u with his lovepoisoned arrow &vanishes, leaving u in d stage of hallucination.

As the Archies poster in my room says-
A man should…
Fall in love, atleast once in his life.
Never forget his 1st kissing misadventure.
Stare at every pretty girl.
Learn to b patient if its his wife& impatient if its his girlfriend.


I remember nitesh &I were talking. Dis guy got loads of experience. He is still holding on to his school love. He said “the initial phases are always great. Rite from d 1st time u talk to her, the 1st time ur fingers touch her fingers, the feeling sends a chill down ur spine. Later it all changes.”

So I was with kawalkar. the hero of my this blog.
My friend kawalkar is a genius fellow. He reasons everything. But when his time of fall comes, he looses all his reasons.
As said in d Sanskrit shlok- vinaashakaale wiparita buddhii.
But here d blog is about love. & it would b a sin to call love as vinaashkaal.
Love is heaven.
It may leave u handicapped. But it gives the sweet ride of heaven, where ur angels keeps playing games with u. or its sometimes like she despises u, but u keep day dreaming.

What d hell. I guess my vinaashkaal has come that I off to write all these at the time of exams.
Who am I to write all these stuffs. Life still left. Like rishi said- life tells u to move on. Dat was when he left his 1st nightingale for his 2nd one. We are still young-
‘I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah
I'm the young gun
Young gun, yea eee yeaa’

& for the love lorn ones-
listen to ‘When u Love Someone’ by Bryan Adams
‘You'll deny the truth, believe a lie
There'll be times that you'll believe, that you can really fly
But your lonely nights have just begun
When you love someone’


See you people later.
Don't let some other guy sing "scotty doesn't know" for u
take care

Bye.
