Mr. Big - To Be With You

Whatever might be the case, I know it's neither the time nor the place... but just remembered an old number.... and can't help but sing aloud....

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you



"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."

Yet love it is that keeps one going...

The Right thing to do.....

You know... if you are any bit the righteous (!!) guy... then you would have definitely come across this phrase many a times in life... if you are the kinda guy who specialises in giving advices to people then you are all the more guilty of using this phrase... its like a guiding beacon... "The Right thing to do..."

It's like smoking, comes with a warning below.... "The roads gonna be monstrously tough" but you anyways end up smoking. If it is the right thing to do then why do the roads have to be tough, why hasnt some noble soul walked up that road and done something to it?
It's the same everywhere, any story and you will have the Hero saying, "I know the roads gonna be tough, but I have to do it, coz its the right thing to do" Yeah right, as if the writers would have it any other way or for that matter the money making brains behind the whole deal. I can almost see the bioscope zooming towards DDLJ, the mother sending her daughter along with the Hero, the son-in-law she knows that would keep her daughter happy. And for that happiness she is willing to risk everything, the ire of her husband, and tells the kids to run away; and thus enters SRK with his soapy lines about the right road and the wrong road and all that jazz. About true happiness (this I shall write more about soon, have been wanting to)...

Anyways, I have begun to hate the movies... you know whatever you say, howmuchever you might mean it, its just a dialog that has already featured in some god forsaken movie. The emotions, the truth with which one might have said it and meant it is just lost because some silly protagonist has already said it somewhere... and what does one get in return... "yeh tho bus dialog maarne waali baat hai" and you wake up to the harsh reality that all that you just said was blown away like dust within moments... aaah, am again wandering away..

The right thing to do... I am supposed to be doing the right thing right now. But what is the right thing? Who decides the right thing? Can't be the people around you. The more you think about it, the more you realise that it must be that inner voice that gives you these nagging thoughts, those directions at the wrong times although on many other occasions at the right time to do something. What's it that they call it, your "Conscience" !!!
Hate it too, although your conscience is the one thing that's closest to you more than anyone or anything else. But then again, how exactly does one differentiate from the different things that the inner voice tells you to do. Coz after all its you who's doing the talking through your conscience. So what do you do when what's right as per you, but at the same time is the right thing to do. Which then is the one to be followed. Many a times there is no reason to thought, however many a times there isn't much thought given to reason.

So many questions arise when one tries to listen to their conscience, so many things that one is supposed to take care of... What does my conscience say? Is it fair? Could it hurt anyone - including me? How would I feel if somebody did it to me? Deep down how do I feel about it? How am I gonna feel about myself later if I do it?
Answering these questions in itself are so tough, sometimes you don't want to answer any of them, coz the truth might hurt you or someone else, you just don't want to face the facts, denial - to simply put it.

What does one do at such circumstances? What is the mind supposed to do? What is the heart supposed to do? How is the right thing to be done?

After all.... You're my Wonderwall

Singing aloud.... the silly heart keeps on singing....to anyone who might wanna hear it... but... there's no one listening... its just you...

B'Coz Maybe...
You'r gonna be the one that saves me...
And After all..
You're my Wonderwall...

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall

In the Jungle... the mighty jungle....

A song that I had always associated with the series "Friends"..... an amazing sing-along.... can almost see Joey taking the high tone... :)

Not sure from which movie this is...but my guess would be Madagascar.... its nice... nothing too great to write about... however at the same time not something you should miss out on.... its like one of those things that you wouldnt keep going back to but would still like to have it with you....

A lifetime's story itself in it... Well here you go... hope you enjoy it...

Thiruda Thiruda - Konjum Nilavu

Here's a song from the movie Thiruda Thiruda (Tamil), dubbed in Hindi as Chor Chor (Duuuh!!)... and as per Wikipedia.. in English Thief Thief... (Aaaarrrggghhhh)

The film revolves around two thieves, Kadir and Azhagu (Anand and Prashanth), and their friend Rajathi (Heera Rajgopal) who're on the run from police who believe they're behind a huge robbery. While the three characters are on the run, chased by the police, they come across a mysterious woman, and their quest for Rs. 1000 crores - stolen money on its way into the hands of a ruthless gangster - begins. During their journey, they face many trials, and encounter many characters, however, ulltimately their success depends on trust, friendship and love.

Anyways, this is the song called "Chandralekha" or also known as "Konjum Nilavu"

Hope you'll enjoy it.... I know I Did :)

Roads Blocked due to low rainfall....

Huh??

Is that the first reaction to the title... well despair not comrades... its my sick attempt (again!) at humour...

The Gods have been very stingy with their downpour of scores... was expecting a storm but instead got a draught.... :(

Anyways.... I shall save the slow drubbing death that I am giving you all reading through this.... My Gmat sucked.. if I could stress any better.... it sucked so bad... oh well..I'll let that train of thought pass on...

Thus, the verdicts out... All the roads towards ISB have been blocked until further notice... and to be honest, I have no idea whether there ever would be a notice saying otherwise... was so close...but ended up being so far :(
