Chori chori hum gori se pyaar karengey

March has started with 2 days in Kendall (SW Miami) for work. The distance from Ft.L to Kendall (about 40 miles) and the traffic had me fearful that I might not be able to swim either day, but thankfully did not. However, it kept me rather occupied, so I'll just post a quote from Midnight's and prepare for a rather busy tomorrow (morning practice, oil change, lunch, laundry?, and then a Master's social...)

Our names contain our fates; living as we do in a place where names have not acquired the meaninglessness of the West, and are still more than mere sounds, we are also the victims of our titles. Sinai contains Ibn Sina, master magician, Sufi adept; and also Sin the moon, the ancient god of Hadhramaut, with his own mode of connection, his powers of action-at-a-distance upon the tides of the world. But Sin is also the letter S, as sinuous as a snake, serpents lie coiled within the name. And there is also the accident of transliteration--Sinai, when in Roman script, though not in Nastaliq, is also the name of the place-of-revelation, of put-off-thy shoes, of commandments and golden calves; but when all that is said and done; when Ibn Sina is forgotten and the moon has set; when snakes lie hidden and revelations end, it is the name of the desert--of barrenness, infertility, dust; the name of the end.

-p.349, Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

Chori chori hum gori se pyaar karengey
Chupke chupke dil ki baatein yaar karengey
Aane waali, kabh aayegi, koi de bataa
