(You can take my breath away
I can be your hero babe,
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away!
Song in the background)
(Song change to:
I will fell down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on baby
If I just hold you again)
(Crowd: cheers,
Faces,kisses,hugs all around me)
I am thinking (looking at my phone)
I called her !
But she did not called back!
Then I called her again and
Left a message!
But she did not called back.
It has been a while
But she did not called back.
I told myself:
She loves me.
She is just busy!
I am thinking (looking around)
She is every thing to me !
This is the New Year Eve,
I should call her!
But then (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,.......... New Year Count Down in back ground)
I told myself:I should wait!
She loves me.
She may be busy!
(I can hear back ground song again:
I will never gonna dance again
The way I dance, just with you )
P.S.:Lovers,feel free to interchange "she/he"according to your own love story!
Just don't loose the flame.Don't afraid to cry.This is the "New Year Eve "
(And song changed:
Listen to your heart before you tell him good bye)

"Visitors are Welcome"
Today was a sunny,windy and chilly day, all in one, so I left home bundled up.
At a traffic stop,as an ambulance was passing by,I looked on my sides. I saw there was a large entrance to this graveyard on my left, nothing new about this, it was always there. But what I saw at the main entrance was thought provoking. A big board at the entrance saying:
VISITORS ARE WELCOME
and there was a second board standing on ground with a direction arrow saying:
INFORMATION
The immediate thought came to my mind was a dialogue from movie "Gladiator":
"I will see you again." " But not yet" "Not yet"
"Visitor are welcome", I thought about this whole day and while driving back home !
The usual question we ask is like this:
Do you think,death is an ending or beginning of something like life?
The answer may depend on how you define death.
But the real question is this:
Once we accept this "visitors are welcome"invitation, are we still visitors?
As we know, almost everyone ends up staying there for good!
No choices.
No RSVP!

"Rab Nay Bana De Jodi"
Today I saw the movie,and during one of the moments a drop of tear came out of my eyes!
I could not hide my secret,but no familiar face was there to share with or hide from!
I know this was not so macho, but it happened!
This movie is yet another LOVE STORY and who says LOVE is easy!
LOVE IS NOT EASY!
We all are in LOVE sometimes secretly, sometimes openly!
We all fantasize about true love,happy ending,forever together,soul mates, and match made in heaven!
We all suffer from the "First cut is the deepest", denials,walking away,pushed away, sighs, insomnia, moon gazing,stars counting,cry,tears and heart breaks!
We all become some types of either a philosopher,who know the real meaning of LIFE as such it exist (sweet,sour,bitter,salty) or a poet,whom words become a medium to promote LOVE, the ONE in which we did not succeed or a blogger with rantings!
We all believe that OUR lives are empty with a missing portion of LOVE,somewhere out there,the ONE which can complete our existence!
Person we love the most end up hurting us the most !
The whole notions of being in love,being loved and falling in love are just prism angles of a life so unknown as life on Mars!
Love has bring thousand questions and thousand answers!
The simplest one is "I LOVE YOU ?"
But the real question is this: If LOVE does hurt so much then why are we so desperate about it?
The answer may be as simple as LOVE IS NOT EASY!
I could not hide my secret,but no familiar face was there to share with or hide from!
I know this was not so macho, but it happened!

"Jab We Met"
"Jab We Met "I liked this movie!
The movie thought came as I was driving back home in a very snowy filmy view(as in the movie) and I remembered the song "phir jenay ka maza yuen aanae laga".
I enjoyed my ride though too much traffic as these are the last few days before Christmas!
I also thought about my days spent enjoying PIDC kay paan, Cafe Students key Biryani,Camel ride at Clifton, Lahore key Gallian,Pindi ka Raja Bazaar,Islamabad ka Chuk Shazad,City's chaos, People's suffering,no law no order, just disgraced politician !
Here I am sitting in a traffic jam and I remembered seher's blog : http://2short2sweet.blogspot.com/2008/12/listing-outs-and-outs.html :"If you are ever jammed in a similar circumstance, don’t curse, just get a paper and pen and start to roll! I mean roll the list which requires your immediate attention."
So I did this ! I am stuck in a traffic jam and I am happy (no cursing) !

So I did this ! I am stuck in a traffic jam and I am happy (no cursing) !
I counted my blessings:I am sitting in an organized traffic jam.
Every one is staying in their own lanes, no honking,no mini buses, no motorcycles,no helpless traffic constables with whitish uniforms!
Living in two worlds has its own perks but the price we pay,only people who are wrap up in these time zones know.We live in two worlds and we miss what we love !
But the real question is this :Can a traffic jam defines a city's inhabitants moral civilised values?
The answer for metropolis Karachi,Lahore and Pindi is shameful! It has definitely nothing to do with education or corruption!

"Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend"
Since I heard this "Kay Jewelers" commercials "Every kiss begins with Kay."
I did this cool mind search, just to share:
Marilyn Monroe sings "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953)
The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας (adámas), "unbreakable, untamed", from ἀ- (a-), "un-" + δαμάω (damáō), "to overpower, to tame"(that's why I like Leo diamonds)
Diamonds are specifically renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities; they make excellent abrasives because they can be scratched only by other diamonds (or another woman)
They are commonly judged by “four Cs”: carat, clarity, color, and cut (and also fifth "C": cash)
Buy this premium quality 'Diamonds are a Girl's best friend' T-shirt. Select from various styles, colors and sizes or create your own(for dumb and losers!)
Finally this,Dr. Helen http://drhelen.blogspot.com/ writes: I never understood the whole concept of a woman wanting jewelry from a man, especially diamonds, until I read the book Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters. In the book, two evolutionary psychologists explain why people do what they do. Why are diamonds a girl's best friend? The authors conclude that women have to discriminate between "dads" and "cads" among male suitors. In order to find the guy that will stay with her and help her with children, she looks for two qualities: "the ability to acquire and accumulate resources, and the willingness to invest them in her and her children." A good way to screen for men who are both willing and able to invest is to demand an expensive gift--known as a courtship gift or nuptial gift in evolutionary biology. Not just any expensive gift will do. A Mercedes or house does not usually fill the bill--for these might have intrinsic value to the man if he likes European cars or is interested in real estate. A courtship gift, according to the book, must be costly and lack intrinsic value and be useless.Diamonds and flowers are beautiful and their beauty lies in their inherent uselessness; "this is why Volvos and potatoes are not beautiful." So guys, apparently, gifts that are "costly but worthless"--facilitate courtship, according to a recent study mentioned in the book."The researchers note that such extravagant gifts have the added benefit for men of deterring 'gold diggers,' women who promise to mate in exchange for a gift but then desert without mating after receiving it." So, it seems that diamonds serve as a litmus test for how a woman feels about you!
I may say that I like diamonds with five "Cs" and I know that the "First cut is the deepest"!
But the real question is that if "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" then who are we (guys) ?

eFriends:This one for you !
I would like to share this,one of my favourites with my efriends on blog:
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.
I'd relax, I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles,
but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who live
sensibly and sanely hour after hour,
day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments,
And if I had it to do over again,
I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after another,
instead of living so many years ahead of each day.
I've been one of those people who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat
and a parachute.
If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over,
I would start barefoot earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.

I am Bisexual !
Finally I did it!
My blog's gender analyzer say:We guess http://dannish-dannish.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (50%), however it's quite gender neutral (on 12/16/2008)
I wonder, does this makes me a bisexual? I don't know !
I know this that I like both men and women equally but on the other hand this analysis may have just proved that I am a hard core Libra,I show my famous balanced approach!
But some how the first thought is still staying there!
I think wisdom has no gender, its an equal opportunity enterprise.
I get my booster doses of self awareness from both women and men intellectuals..
Again does this make me a bisexual?
The real question is:Does intellectual attraction to both man and woman can label you as a bisexual?
The answer may be in the level of fatal attraction !

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment
"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment" Jalal ud-din Rumi.
This December 2008, besides other occasions including Haj,Eid,Quaid-e-Azam' s Birthday,Chanukah,Christmas,Kwanzaa, is the month of Rumi.The famous Sufi with ecstatic poetry in the thirteenth-century Turkey.As his funeral procession moved through the streets of Konya,Turkey,at sunset, December 17,1273 on a snowy winter evening,his family and closest colleagues were joined by throngs of Jews,Christians and Muslims,all claiming that Rumi's heart brought illumination to their traditions.Seven centuries later his resonant heart inspires unity and friendship among those of many religions and paths worldwide.
I am attending a Rumi Night on December 19,2008.I am inspired !
I would like to share some of Rumi's rememberance:
"When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness"
"Beloved....come,come,whoever you are
Wanderer,worshipper,Lover of leaving
Ours is not a caravan of despair
Come,come,come again"
Be destiny leads me and you where:
"We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence,Lead us"
Do you have a Rumi poem, lets share here !

Hall of Fame
The other day I was reading about Baseball Hall of Fame and quite impressed by how fans and nations keep their heroes alive,respected and honoured for generations to come.This holds true in this part of world for all heroes including statesmen, actors, musicians, intellectuals, scientist, generals, baseball players, basketball players, cowboys and the list goes on.
I think this is one of the greatest feature of developed civilised world.
Contrary to this,underdeveloped countries have no mechanisms to get this self booster shot of pride.
Countries like Pakistan have heroes but no mechanism to keep that politics free, merit based remembrance:Hall of Fame.
I don't know this but lets talk if you know that we have anyone of those:
Cricket Hall of Fame
Science Hall of Fame
Polo Hall of Fame
Hockey Hall of Fame
Squash Hall of Fame
Poet/Writer/Singer Hall of Fame
Great Mountain Climber Hall of Fame
We even don't have a Star Pavement in Lollywood to honour our actors and actresses.
I am not certain that as a nation we care much about our heroes,but we should,as we are very rapidly running out of heroes and as we know that the left overs belong only to the Hall of Shame !
