Salute

to amnesia

cheers!

salud! nostrovia! skål! 

prost! slàinte!

zivjeli!

piyo, jiyo, ya yaar maro!

in times when

the pervading chaos

is drowning us

in incomprehension

as it spreads like

a swallowing storm

jaane bhi do yaaro

i lauuuu salute. The ribbon loops create the impression of a drunken decorated sailor trying with all the might of his tipsy will to stand straight  

And i love the lines. Brings to mind hum hi sab jahaan ki fiqr kyun karein / kabhi mili fursat to phir socha jaayega

...Chabi hum rakhte hain
Saare khajaane ki
Hum se khabar tum sun lo
Saare zamaane ki
Aankho hi aankho me hum
Katale aam karte hai

Sabko salam karte hai
Sabko kalam karte hai
Dekho tamase kya kya
Hum aaj shaam karte hai
Koi nahi jo kar sakta
Hum vo kaam karte hai.... :-)

My reply:

Piye jaa aur pilaaye jaa
Jab aas bharosa
Pyaar ka dhoka
Sahaa na jaaye
Piye jaa aur pilaaye jaa
Agar jeena mushqil lage
Pite pite mar bhi jaa
Salute, salaam, cheers, tears
