Ek shaam ki dehleej par...

One of my friends had dropped by in LA, and we had a nice time, nice
being an understatement.Had one of those lucky days, where we said
nothing and talked a lot, after a long time.

The most apt song is one thats been sung by Jagjit and Chitra Singh -
'Socha nahi achcha bura'
the relevant lines being,
Ek sshaam ki dehleej par,
baithe rahe vo der tak.
Aankhon se kii baatein bahut,
munh se kahan kuch bhi nahi.

Saying bye was bad, but we will meet again soon, so 'happy happy joy
joy for now :)

Gat ashi ki

Inadvertently the song most played these days on my mp3 player..  Don't like to hear it often because it makes it difficult to concentrate, for sometime...  Makes me think and hope a lot.. Just posting the lyrics from http://www.indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?p=224055 Will post the meaning soon, need to verify a few points


Ne majasi ne parat matrubhumila,

Bhumatechya charantala tuj dhuta

maj vadalasi anya deshi chal jau
srushtichi vividhata pahu||
taii jananihrid virahshankitahi jhale
