#1 - Ras - Thanks for your kind words. Yes, the jugnu lights up my imagination and from time to time, my life..

#2 - Wajahat - I know, it is hard being a woman when so tend to see so many things from a soft focus lens, especially the man one loves..

#3 - Temporal - Sir, love is, as you rightly say, the balm that can mix many things. Kaash, one could hold on to the dreams even when the bright sun shines down and not just the blue moon.

#4 - Rahul_capri - sixtyish in this context is a big compliment. Guru Dutt and Waheeda, my favourite combination too and that in black and white.. mmm. Thank you..

Sounded a bit sixtyish to me-with jugnu,moon and all.Like something out of a Guru Dutt ,Wahida Rahman movie.Done very tastefully. Reading it was akin to someone opening a window and letting a whiff of jasmine scented fresh air come in.

shonali:

...love is the balm that can mix even oil and water...reality and dreams are only separated by a razor thin margin for some lucky folks...

jugnu is used well...

Liked it for its intimate message of sharing.

This ``Jugnu`` lights the imagination.
