Reminiscing

Yesterday roomie K and I were bonding over the music that defined us in college: "Back in Bangalore when we were yeng and happy" :P

They were the songs that played at every club and restaurant then, and more importantly - at every college fest! Some of the non-rock stuff we heard often or listened to (because you know, we were like, the cool chicks who listened to rock) and loved included -

Sigh........ :) Nostalgic?

I also think that there is very, very little singing talent in today's music. And too little variety.

The "Rocker chick" in me says "What happened to all the rock? Where is it?" There were so many good bands with GOOD music then - Creed, Alter Bridge, Pearl Jam, Nickelback, Alice in Chains, Matchbox Twenty, Puddle of Mudd and tons more ...don't you think?

Let me know if you can think of any more and find any more of the late 1900's - early 2000's era songs :)

Mannnnn :) Loved the music then!

You know you need more sleep when...

~ Takes a wad of cotton
~ Puts a little moisturiser on it
~ Rubs off the kaajal
~ Rubs, rubs, it doesn't come off

Oh wait. That's dark circles! :|

Oh yeah?

What?

:P

Nightmare

Sometimes I have these nightmares, but I'm wide awake. I see a future that's not yet here but still so real and so close. I'm numbed into silence and wonder, I'm growing yonder, towards this vision.

I hope that it doesn't come true, I'm already half ashamed. That in my heart I hold in me the half-sadistic desire. I can hear glass shattering.

And I wake up, and I'm right in the middle of the nightmare.

Little Star

Dedicated to my little star. Congrats and lots of love!

Little star shining bright
You give us hopes and dreams
Little star, so proud you make
Us all and you inspire!

In the time when things were grey
And mist and dust and fire
You sat and worked and worked your way
To shooting high and far

Twinkle in the eye from tears
And hope and confidence alive
Now we learn, we learn from you
The key is persistence and strife

Little star you shine so bright
I'm oh-so-proud tonight
Tomorrow you will light the sky
And be that twinkle in my eye.

Dealings in money

Person: Are you planning to buy a car?
Me: No, a hovercraft.
Person: ?
Me: By the time I can afford a car.... there will only be hovercrafts :|

Happy Ending

Sometimes.
A stranger can be so much more comforting
Than someone you consider close
Can be so genuine, no ulterior motives
Nor reasons to exhibit symptoms of dissociative disorder.

Sometimes.
Just sitting and watching television, sleeping all day
Can be a good break
A therapy session can be one long, hot shower
And some aromatic body wash to go with it.

Sometimes.
Living in the present can be such a lull
As compared to living in the past or future
Magnifying the good times or creating
A whole new possibility.

Sometimes.
Being responsible means giving up the things you enjoy
And doing things that you don't like, everyday
And waiting, waiting for and waiting to find that one thing
That is responsible, enjoyable and definitive of you.

Sometimes.
You don't know whether the happy ending
Is the start
Or the end
Or the middle.
