You and Me


By Saba Siddiqui


Little foggy, little misty and windy and cold
Look into my eyes and get me in hold

Wet socks, feet soggy, it's hard to find a trail
let birds chirp and leaves rustle behind the grail

Walk with me on a passage like this...
When winds blow wild, meet me for a kiss

Stop not the time, let events unfold
No longer afraid, with you I am bold!

Forty Rules of Love Review - Musing about the Bestseller by Elif Shafak

Image
By Saba Siddiqui My last read,  Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, is a good start for a person who has been lost in the everyday humdrum of a mundane life. It's spoke to my lanky spirit on many levels and gave me a point of reversal and pushed me to oil up if not restart my zinked engine! The beauty of this book is not that it talks about love and spirituality, but that it makes you want to tease out your true calling.  The novel aligns two narratives. The story of a present day Ella, a middle aged woman harping on the void in her life and a twelfth century Darvish called Shams of Tibriz searching for a companion to share his knowledge with, a character in the book called 'Sweet Blasphemy' she was assigned to edit.  Although, most reviews I have read or heard about this book talk of Ella as the weak and insignificant part of the novel, citing that she slows down the pace and brings nothing exciting to the narrative. Almost everyone, on the contrary,...

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: Not Quite a Movie Review!

Image
  Written By Saba Siddiqui If you want to see what creativity at its best looks like, then  Everything, Everywhere, All at Once should be on your bucket list. It has the power to lift you from a mental block. It will shake you from your boring reveries. It will make a ball of all your thoughts and smack you in the face. Yet, I dare say, the messy chaos depicted in this film pours down as a balm to sore nerves. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once  released in April 2022 is just too much of everything, everywhere, all at once. Watching this movie has been a very personal experience and therapeutic to say the least.  There is so much mess, yet it is glorious and depicts human existence with all it's quandary, mayhem, chaos, anxiety, depression, regret with a bewildering rhapsody of philosophy, human emotions and science fiction.  The movie is all about quintessential multiverse madness with chaos and anarchy as it's theme while a cosmic battle stretches along!

Daryagunj’s Sunday Book-Bazaar Closed amid Mixed Opinions and Nostalgia!

Image
by  Saba Siddiqui Have been a dil se dilli wali since forever, though I am no longer in the city, but a sense of nostalgia gripped my nerves when the news of shutting down of the book-bazaar by a petition raised by MCD in High Court reached my delicate senses, around 3 weeks ago! For the bibliophiles, books are what dope is to an addict. Being one, I had a mini heart attack when I heard about the clampdown on the famous #bookbazaar that came to life every Sunday on the pavements of Netaji Subhash Marg. The by lanes of #Daryaganj have been witnessing the love for books old, very old and decrepit alike for about 5 decades. The Municipal Committee of Delhi closed the bustling market that has been a hub for vendors who sold a huge variety of books on every topic in almost every language and of course the penny-wise buyers. It’s the second Sunday with a barren bazaar, and my heart still aches for the books that may not see a new reader loving and caressing every page of them ...
