Kabir N Caify

The Only Promise That Never Breaks Tumhara naam kyun na Mrityu rakh dun... Kam se kam ek baar to milne aaogi mujhse... There is something strangely beautiful about this thought. Not because it speaks of death, but because it speaks of certainty. Human beings spend their entire lives waiting.

Prangya: I don't think I have one. I like soothing songs... calming songs. But more than music... I like talking to someone....
