cheers !!
After financial accounting exam, me and my screwed ass were both in a pretty bad shape. As an angel AC came to my rescue and gave me Madhushala sung by Manna Dey. The poem is amazing to read but even better to listen. In the song the sequence has been tampered with, nevertheless i love it. One of THE philosophies of life. This is my favourite part from the poem.
So here is to all bevdas/bevdis, students/employed ones, happy/sad souls and of course to that screwed up end term
एक बरस में, एक बार ही जगती होली की ज्वाला,
एक बार ही लगती बाज़ी, जलती दीपों की माला,
दुनियावालों, किन्तु, किसी दिन आ मदिरालय में देखो,
दिन को होली, रात दिवाली, रोज़ मनाती मधुशाला
cheers !!

Oh I love this poem! It's by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, please do mention that in the post. And the lines you've written here are my absolute favourites in the entire poem.
And these too:
बड़े बड़े पिरवार मिटें यों, एक न हो रोनेवाला,
हो जाएँ सुनसान महल वे, जहाँ थिरकतीं सुरबाला,
राज्य उलट जाएँ, भूपों की भाग्य सुलक्ष्मी सो जाए,
जमे रहेंगे पीनेवाले, जगा करेगी मधुशाला।।
Awesome. top
