Thanks to akshay for correcting the spelling.

Tanha Chaand.

Pata nahi tha ki shayiri mein itna dum hein
Pata nahi tha ki shayiri mein itna dum hein,
har dil mein kahi chuppa hua gum hein.
Hum to hein pardes mein
Desh mei nikla hoga chaand.
A pni raat ki chat par kitna tanha hoga.., chaand

08/10/06 - 00:00:00 - ...

got back from Pompidu just in time before my hotel closes at 01:00. then boarded my train to Bordeaux on time (it was a tiring trek at Montparnase, with my luggage). So far smooth... at Bordeaux the info counter is closed. Its a SUNDAY! Manage to get a 7day pass for the tram&bus. But still late at 'Cercles des Universitaires' by 10 mins. Their reception is closed between 12:00-18:00 on SUNDAY! Oops! got to wait on the road now for next 6hrs.... not exactly, since I meet a prof from IISc who is also staying there.. well I can atlast leave my luggage safe, and roam about. But then, more ppl join us for lunch - great to have sambar, pulav, rice & dosas after pastas and potatos with just pepper for spice. Then follows a trip to one of the guests house, and a wonderful movie (Ripley's Game). Back at 'Cercles ...' in time to get the room keys ... a day full of unexpected events...
