jag ne chheena mujh se

जग ने छीना मुझ से
मुझे जो भी लगा प्यारा
सब जीत गए मुझसे
मई हर दम ही हारा

I was wailing singing this song by Jagjit Singh. The reason being, the zee cafe channel has stopped airing the serial - Parenthood - one of the very few non-chor-police , non sac type of serial - also it reminded me that more than a computer addict I am a parent. Good to be reminded of that fact now and then. So singing thus I opened the window and chanced to see outside. There was this cow grazing in an empty side. My mouth closed shut. Yes, the world might have snatched the serial from me now and then, a internet connection few times etc. But I do not have to roam around the town searching for grass to graze.

When I am hungry, I can just cook what I want and eat. Or if I am feeling lazy which is the case most of the times, I can just raid the kitchen shelves and gobble up cookies or snacks etc. When I feel cold, I do not have to stand in the middle of the road, I can select a sheet of varying thickness, color or texture and snuggle. If I feel thirsty, I can make myself some nimboo paani, or drink plain water. If I feel bored, I can look at my pots and count how many of the plants have one small bud/leaf extra. If I feel angry I can semi-sleep in front of TV and watch Parenthood - nooooo not possible. But I can still watch some chor-police soap with some emotional twist like "In plain sight." or some re-re-re-retelecast episode of The Big bang theory.

Sorry, Lord I was too selfish and self absorbed when I told (not sang) the above song.
