Always looking for dogs to hug :):

i have many fears but the one thing that balances them all is the wonderful people i have around me. i’ll always be grateful.
some of the best people enter our lives unexpectedly and somehow make the journey lighter, kinder and far more beautiful than we ever imagined :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

a beautiful dilemma
choosing between kumar sanu in aashiqui singing “tu meri zindagi hai, tu meri har khushi hai” and udit narayan in qayamat se qayamat tak singing “aye mere humsafar, ek zara intezaar, sun sadaayein de rahi manzil pyaar ki”.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

my lord, please make it happen.
until then, i’ll hold on to faith and remind myself that every delay carries a wisdom i cannot yet see. every closed door is a mercy, every unanswered prayer is still being heard :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

listening to songs from the movie hum dono in dharamshala. god, what a beautiful creation. dev and rafi saab truly were one of the most magical combinations ever. life suddenly feels very beautiful.

“हम तो समझे थे कि हम भूल गए हैं उनको,
क्या हुआ आज ये किस बात पे रोना आया…”

i’m deeply addicted to music and mountains. quietly living with ocd. i love gadgets, books, global financial markets. i don’t know how to drive but i know how to care for a car. i don’t really handle relationships well yet i care too much while pretending i don’t.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

faiz, i only hope for her.
i don’t want anything less
and i don’t want anything better than her.
and if hope is a disaster then let it be beautiful enough to break me completely.

तू जो मिल जाए तो
तक़दीर निगों हो जाए
यूँ न था, मैंने फ़क़त चाहा था यूँ हो जाए :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

the weight i was carrying loosened
its grip the moment naseebo and farah lal ji
sang their idol, madam noor jehan’s akhiyaan ve raati saun na dendiya.
it felt like grief finally found a language.
maahi mere ve jhoothe laare
haar gaye assi karma maare :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

damn this music
and the way it ruins you softly.
snoh aalegra, you’re love.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

goodness grace
there should be a night when we listen to
ella fitzgerald and nina simone,
drink a little pinot noir,
eat red sauce spaghetti,
and let the world stay quiet for a while.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

at 2, i wouldn’t mind letting funk jazz spill into the room or whiskey blues stay up with me all night, both knowing exactly how to keep a quiet soul awake :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

i think “ajahu na aaye baalamwa, saawan beeta jaaye” might just be the purest creation ever to grace raag madhuvanti. there’s something divine in the way it blooms. mohammad rafi and suman kalyanpur, what a celestial union of voices :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

yeah okay,
i can live anywhere
just where love flows gently,
where effort is seen,
acknowledgment is felt,
and care is real, not performed.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

zindagi moves swiftly
from “iss mod se jaate hain”
to “zindagi jab bhi teri bazm mein laati hai humein” like a film changing scenes
before the heart even learns
the last melody :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

i once wished
to watch sharda sinha live,
a wish that never came true
but tonight,
i surrender to her world losing myself in the raw ache of kajri, the tenderness of chaiti and the soul stirring grace of sohar :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

i believed i had a modest understanding of indian classical music, until one day i stumbled upon @singer_kaushiki’s rendition of “ja ja re apne mandirwa.” in that moment, every illusion about my understanding shattered, and i realized i was only at the shore of an ocean.

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

so tell me dostoevsky
why couldn’t we go on?
believe me, no one, i swear, no one captures her the way my soul once framed her, as if eternity itself leaned in :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

been lost in ghazals when suddenly “dard badhkar fugan na ho jaye” played. paused a moment in silence for chitra ji. with such sorrowful grace she sang, and only god knows how jagjit ji composed it.

दिल को ले लीजिए जो लेना है
फिर ये सौदा गरा ना हो जाए :)

[Parmeshwar Singh @iam_parmeshwar]

whitney, what a soul you were. my eyes welled up watching kevin costner break down to “i will always love you” at festival de cannes like he was still holding her memory in his arms. the bodyguard isn’t just a film for me, it’s a feeling i return to… again and again.
