Chapter 13

"jab isse pata hai ki main music ko lekar kitna passionate hun...
to pata nahi mujhe tokta kyun hain?...khair lagta hain chala gaya..."...

he picks up his guitar...closes his eyes nd begins humming sum of his favourite songs:

(THIS ONE'S BY ROBBIE WILLIAMS)

I JUST WANNA FEEL...RELOVE...
FEEL D HOME DAT I LIVE IN
COZ I GOT TOO MUCH LOVE..
RUNNIN THRU MY VEINS...GOIN TO WASTE
I DON'T WANNA DIE...
BUT I'M NOT KEEN ON LIVIN EITHER....

COME ON HOLD MY HAND
I WANNA CONTACT D LIVING
NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND
DIS ROAD I'VE BEEN TAKIN...........

Suddenly he opens his eyes..."yeh mujhe ho kya raha hai...y is it becoming so difficult for me to get dat face out of my mind...to forget d moment wen i first saw her...those eyes..

AB AISA US SE JUD GAYA HAI SILSILA
WOH HI WOH NAZAR AAYE MUJHKO HAR JAGAH
DEEWANAGI KI YEH INTEHA HAI
HAR CHEHRE MEIN CHEHRA TERA HAI...

SHIT!! raj tu paagal ho raha hai!!"

"well i think d best i can do is concentrate on my music..."
he closes his eyes & tries once again:

(d one from life in a metro)

BERANG SI HAI BADI ZINDAGI
KUCH RANG TO BHAROO..
MAIN APNI TANHAI KE WAASTE
AB KUCH TO KAROO...
JAB MILE THODI FURSAT
KHUD SE KAR LE MOHABBAT
HAI TUJHE BHI IJAZZAT
KARLE TU BHI MOHABBAT

USKO CHUPAAKAR MAIN SABSE KABHI
LE CHALOO KAHIN DOOR...
AANKHON KE PYAALON SE PITA RAHOON
USKE CHEHRE KA NOOR
IS ZAMAANE SE CHUPKAR
PURI KAR LU MAIN HASRAT...
HAI TUJHE BHI IJAZZAT
KARLE TU BHI MOHABBAT

DIL BINA, DIL MERA
MUJH SE HAI KEH RAHA
TU KHAAB SAJAA
TU JEELE ZARRA....

He stops singing mid way wen he realises dat sumone was tryin very hard to suppress a laugh.

he opens his eyes to find navin standing at d doorway ...
