If only

Most couples make me uncomfortable and sick with their couply ways, especially when they act all coochie-coo romantic and what not in public. But there are some couples that just give you a very good feeling each time you see them together.

I think Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi are one such couple. I caught them on an episode of 'Koffee with Karan' on youtube. Whether it was him teasing her about all her activist stuff, or her teasing him about his bad memory with appointments, it was a pleasure to watch them interact. It's amazing how both of them are extremely serious and witty at the same time.

Javed really stole the show when Karan asked him to say a few lines for Shabana and he said:

Khush shakl bhi hai woh, yeh alag baat hai......

Magar hume zaheen log hamesha aziz the....

vaah vaah! vaah vaah!

He translated it, 'cause Shabana was lost :)) she's good looking, but that is beside the point. The fact is that I have always loved intelligent people.

Man, I was totally bowled over. Now this is the kind of couplet a girl would like to hear. Sigh!

If only Anish wasn't so urdu-challenged :)
