the Chase

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 04:36:51 GMT

You can only chase whats running away from you.

Why would you desire something you already have - something thats already there and wont go away.
Things that you have you feel the need to get rid off.

Things heading in your direction we accept as destiny
but the chase can only exist when somethings running away

and maybe its not even something we need or want,
it's just something we want to chase - the illusion

No sinner or saint - its all.....only human tendency

Bjork on the song Hyperballad (and 'louv')

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 16:33:20 GMT

"It was inspired by a situation I saw a lot of my friends get in to. I really like reading magazines about science, you see, and when people fall in love, they make this kind of drug in their bodies so they become addicted to each other physically.

Nature makes things so that the drug lasts for three years, so if they're together they're just on a natural high. Nature makes sure that people get three years to sort out if they want to be together for life or not; that three years is a try out time. Then they wake up and it's a 'Whoops, what am I doing here?' kind of thing? Then they are forced to sort out if they love the person, like real love, or if it was just a trick.

I just read this article and I looked at all my friends since I was a kid, and I saw that it always happened after three years, it's so strange. You think you've never seen people so much in love and then after three years, like precisely, they ring the phone in the middle of the night and it's , 'Björk, I'm coming over' and they come over and say 'I don't love him, what is it? I don't look forward to coming home anymore. What's wrong?' Then at that point I could actually say, 'Well listen, it's science."

What would make this world a better place?

A whole lot of more love? or
A whole lot of less fear?

my favourite drug

MUSIC

currently been tripping on Imogen Heap - now added to my Wall of God's

with lyrics like -
"W'ere kissing without kissing
we got down to a fine art
Love is supposed to keep you young and frisky
we grew old and far apart"
(wish I could write like this)

Goodnight and go
Have you got it in you
The walk
Clear the area
Closing in
Loose ends
The moment I said it
Just for now

I've always known now matter which friend betrayed me or which girlfriend left me or no matter how bad a day I've had I'll always have music -
it keeps me safe when I am scared, floats me when I am down.

Foodie on TimesNOW

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:02:13 GMT

I'm thinking of changing TimesNow as my default 'switch on' channel after todays 'Foodie' program also was part of his Nawabi hosts kids circumcision celebration ceremony!
No offense to the tradition but something about that in the program left a 'bad taste'...

I know! ewww! bad joke :)

the 2 hottest women at Hawaiin Shack last night...
thank you :)

Just realised the term is making friends - they dont just turn out to be friends or are destined to be part of your life,
they are just regular human beings living their lives - you have to make them friends.

Also watched

Very very exciting movie - and has this cool matrix like fundu concept in it....
will watch again - friends anyone?

Walk on

Wed, 07 Feb 2007 19:17:36 GMT

And I know it aches and your heart it breaks you can only take so much,
Walk on
leave it behind, you got to leave it behind

All that you fashion, all that you make,
all that you build, all that you break,
all that you imagine, all that you feel,
all this you cant leave behind....

I guess its pointless if I'm listening to this song on loop almost 35x a day - defeats the 'point' of the song.

Entrepreneurs extrodinaire 1 - Techno Rick

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 16:33:02 GMT

Was walking along Bandstand - my usual evening healing walks and I spotted this -

This 'manual' rickshaw actually had an LCD screen at the back with hindi videos playing - not to mention the flashy lights all over the place.

This is why I am here - what a 'dude' rickshaw man - kya 'Entrepreneur' - hope he does well.
I only forgot to ask how much for a ride....

Also nearly got a heart attack while actually paying attention to the lyrics of a song by David Gray ('My oh my') - helps knowing I'm not the only one going through, Could'nt help but put it on loop all evening.

Republic Day + Blood Diamond

Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:51:59 GMT

Caught this at Bandra station - these kids pinning any1 walking up the bridge and saying "joh bhi chahiyea de do" (give as you please).

I was really impressed by his entrepreneurial spirit so I gave him 5 bucks even though the flag was worth just 50p - coolest thing was his "thank you"!

Watched.......

Loved it! Brilliantly made film - and on a very good 'cause', thanks to the movie I am a little more 'aware' than I was before it.
Will watch it again.

Loved the part in which Solomon Vandy (the black dude) screams at Danny Archer (Di Caprio)
"He is my son, I should have protected him....I am going....
you can shoot me it does'nt matter, I'm dead anyway"

Also Jennifer Connelly is now added to my list of 'dream dates' - gawd! totally my kinda lady!
(Mr. UpAbove...are you listening?)

You can find a thousand excuses to be sad about...
or you can just be happy for no valid reason.

I'm sure some of you might have heard of RHCP being accused of plagiarims (haan bhai haan!! PLAGIARISM!!) for their song Dani California.

Well just googled it and found this very interesting peice of audio - ho ho ho! very kewl!!

the pre-requisite for a miracle

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 21:54:43 GMT

is Interestingly...
a string to tragedies to start off with.

I believe that miracles and angels are not of the BC generation - they still exist..... depends on how far you're going to go- believing or waiting for one.

So when the light at the end of the tunnel disappears - just stick to your guns, coz miracles do happen!

Things...will never be the same again.

Gandhi-giri VS Bhai-giri

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 20:20:57 GMT

Watched Munna Bhai 2 yesterday - sheer classic! 11 out of 10 from me.
Its hilliarious and is even better than MMBS....

I'm amazed by the storyline of the movie - I cant hep but feeling the director is trying to change a few hearts here, and hes done it in such a convincing and non pakaoing way!
Importantly the entire story has soo much reality to it - so often it had me stumped with some of the dialogues - I havent heard 'gyan thunder' like that in real life, forget in a hindi movie!

Its definitely worth the watch! Pakka hit hai mammu!

HANGing on

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 20:31:37 GMT

"and the feeling is choking"

there's a reason its called hanging on -
you might be soo afraid to free fall that you've left the 'tie' from you hands but forgotten about the one tied (by youreself) around your neck.

Emotional attachment is never a good thing, no matter how good it feels.

uhh bnoxious?

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 20:19:59 GMT

Yeah - I asked one of my friends what my 3 bad qualities are and Obnoxious was the theme to all of them!
I dont mind really - its an achievement almost! how many people people get away with being 23 and still not loosing the gift?

Also thought I'd share my new adventures on Orkut - I'm having a lot of fun there! Its the Oasis for this desert I'm in right now.
[Mari - (named changed) is one of those Hi5 chicks who enjoys approving and making public all the drool comments and marriage proposals she gets on site. I love having a little fun with these little pawns of attention.]

Might die tryin

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 09:59:12 GMT

For the first time in my life I heard a song and it spoke me!

Last few weeks Ive found myself explaining endlessly the reasons for my decisions - now I just need to broadcast the song (and one hell of a song it is) -

Might Die Trying - Dave Matthews Band

To change the world,
Start with one step.
However small,
The first step is hardest of all.

Once you get your gate,
You will walk in tall.
You said you never did,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
Cause you---

If you close your eyes,
Cause the house is on fire.
Think you couldn't move,
Until the fire dies.
The things you never did,
Oh, Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
You'd be as good as dead,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.

If you give, you, you begin to live.
If you give, you begin to live.
You begin, you get the world.
If youg give, you begin to give
You get get the world, you get the world.
If you give, you get to give.

You might die trying.
Oh, you might die trying.
Yeah, you might die trying.

The things you never did,
Cause you might die trying;
You'd be as good as dead.
You never did.

Happiness101

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 09:42:58 GMT

for Beginners - being happy with your own decisions and actions that have bred concequence either good or bad, living with 'no regret'.

Advanced - same as beginners course except 'your own' replaced with 'the one's you love the most'.*

*Advanced course requires passing Beginners course as pre-requisite.
*one's you love also includes parents and family, unlike the misconception of only gf/bf.
*Advanced course is irrespective of the situation and extent to which the loved one's decision affect your life - after all its your happiness/ life not theirs.
*Advanced course has a very low success record - but if achieved, is the highest degree of difficulty and any future situations/circumstances will be easier to deal with i.e. Regrets will be reduced significantly.

brokded vs dumpted

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 11:08:36 GMT

I know, kinda pathetic BUT...

there's a difference between 'breaking up' and 'getting dumped' - fact is they both can be used to describe the same decision/situation, except each term explains more the state of vunerability of a mindset (heavy huh?!?).
Strangely 'getting dumped' is probably easier in the long run coz the short term over dose of anger helps a long way in pushing the reminscing memories far far away.

On that note - when getting into a relationship, dont stay in because you cant get out - believe it or not, the more you hang around the more 'in love'/attached you will get - there is the obvious factor of compromise and 'ups and downs' in a relationship but just dont stay on board only because you're too afraid to swim - the quicker you get out, the quicker you'll get over it.

In anycase Sting stung like a bee when he sung "if you love somebody...set them free".

"The shit in life shapes you"

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 20:19:21 GMT

I've realised all this bleddy crap Ive been dealt with by the 'almighty sun' is only meant to refine me into a 'mean lean fighting machine' - I always thought I was ready for the world with my sensitive, 'always planning for the future' mindset - I know now to make it BIG I must change.

Also the more I think of it i realise I'm happy doing this...moving back home has been something Ive planned over the past 2 years and I just cant sacrifise it now (mom suggested the same) - So I'm doing it irrespective of what the family decide. Hope I dont regret.

In anycase with all the twists my life has take I thought my 'dhum' would change but thankfully it has only turned stronger, so when 'living the dream' and things get tough, the option of running back would be one of the last things on my mind considering the things Im giving up now.
