Irshad Kamil And then this -

तेरी नज़रों में है तेरे सपने
तेरे सपनो में है नाराज़ी
मुझे लगता है की बातें दिल की
होती लफ़्ज़ों की धोखेबाज़ी
तुम साथ हो या ना हो
क्या फ़र्क़ है
बेदर्द थी ज़िंदगी बेदर्द है...

Irshad Kamil Or as he writes in Chamkila;

मेरे आगे दुनिया का रंग सारा फिक्का
अपने लहू से ही लगाया मैंने टिक्का
दस्स क्यों डरन पक्कियां जड़ान
अपने परों पे मुझे पक्का है भरोसा

चल हवा बना उड़ जावां
समा बना गुम्म जावां
जाने किसकी मेहर
चढ़ी रहती लहर
कैसे जाऊं मैं ठहर बतलाना

Irshad Kamil Or when in Tum Tak from Raanjhana he says;

नैनो की भाट ले जा
नैनो की नैय्या
पतवार तू है मेरी
तू खेवैया
जाना है पार तेरे
तू ही भंवर है
पहुँचेगी पार कैसे
नाज़ुक सी नैय्या

Is it for the lover? If this for the almighty? Is this for the soul within?

Or when in Kun Faaya Irshad Kamil saheb says.

जब कहीं पे कुछ नहीं भी नहीं था,
वो ही था। वो ही था।

He doesnt say - जब कहीं पे कुछ नहीं था। He says - जब कहीं पे “कुछ नहीं” भी नहीं था। When even nothing or vacuum was not there. That is magic.

My favourite film from last year ❤️

The film that changed everything, prompted me to write an email that would become the rest of my life! #Shahid

LSD 2, the shaky camera, an unreleased film and where he finds hope - Dibakar Banerjee on this and more! youtu.be/qs0yM-D_HzY?si…

Conspicuously missing is School Of Lies, the one show from last year that ripped out of the templated tedium that has become online storytelling.

Also this. School Of Lies is the finest series of 2023. To not recognise as such is veryPretty tragic

#Poacher is so quietly poignant and urgent! Kadak show, incredible cast and such honesty. Incredible stuff. Kudos to visionary Richie Mehta and his whole team! Nikhil Madhok congratulations for this brave beautiful show 💕💫

My first film. Most special 💕 always and what a beautiful film this is.

Watching the work of a master ! 'Perfect Days' by Wim Wenders ❤️
Every frame, a piece of art. Found my spirit animal and with the same playlist!

Flight delayed and yet Air India Express thinks it's fine to further trouble elderly flyers by wasting time with checking 'vitals' when all doctors have given clear reports! Very troubling attitude.

'Safe thing is really boring.'

Fucking hell true !

Okay let’s get to the most controversial part of the #UttarakhandCivilCode . I reserved judgment until I had waded through the whole pdf.

Here’s what I noticed.

Villeneuve says he worries less about AI 'than the fact that we behave like algorithms, as filmmakers.'

It's a new year but thanks Aseem Chhabra for your love for our good old School of Lies! Streaming on Disney Hotstar. Always feel the urge to ask people to watch it if you haven't :)

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🏆
