Aarz Kiya Hai V

SHARAABI SHAYARI, A COMPILATION:

Sharaab dhard ki dawaa hai,
Peene se koi khiraabi nahin,
Dil ke dhard se peete hai hum,
Vaise tho hum sharaabi nahin.

Nasha hum karte hai, iljaam sharaab ko diya jaata hai.
Iss mein sharaab ka kya kasoor hai?
Kasoor tho unka hai,
Jinka chehra har jaam mein nazar aata hai.

Peene ko peeye ja rehe hai hum,
Jeene ko jiye ja rehe hai hum.
Koi ah kar bitaye ga mere mehboob ko.
Kabhi jeene ki vaja thay vo.
Aaj peeye ja rehe hai,
Vaja bhi vo, saja bhi vo.

Daddy Dearest.

The gated parking lot of my apartment complex has had a couple of break-ins over the past week. Every time I go to my car I have my pepper spray aimed and ready to fire. I seriously hope no one will walk across my path and startle me becuase I know I'll spray them down without thinking twice.

.

Anyway, as I walked to my car today, I saw shards of glass all around my tires and a blade close-by. As par usual, I immediately freaked out and inspected my car closely for broken windows or slashed tires. I found nothing, so I swept away all the glass and drove on home to San Jose.

.

As soon as I got home, I told my dad the entire story to explain why I was late. I tossed a load of laundry into the washer and proceeded to the couch to take a nap. In the middle of my nap, my dad exclaimed, "REENA! DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CAR?!?!" I lept off the couch and ran out the door. I looked in the direction that my dad was pointing expecting only the worst.

.

"Wash me Ms. Rani" was written in the dust that had accumulated on my car. "You woke me up for that?" My dad, still smirking, told me that a car this dirty was definitely worse than a broken window or two. HAHA. I'm still shocked becuase anyone that knows my dad knows that he's a no-nonsense kind of guy. This is quite possibly the only prank that he's pulled on me in the 23 years of my life.
