Kabhi....

Kabhi, mai na chahun koi khushi
Na mai chahun yeh zindagi
Mere dil me teri kami

Har sanam, har pal hai koi karam
Har dil ki chahat magan
Dar dar ke guzre janam

Jungalon aur samandaron me sami
Hai raahtein jo mile na kabhi
Is haseen samay ki yeh rahat samajh me aane lagi
Ban jayegi yeh khushi, mil jayegi yeh khushi
Kitne samay guzar gaye, bichad gaye is samay
Ban jayegi yeh zameen....



Kabhi, mai chahun sabke liye
Khul jayein dil me chhupe
Chhote chhote ghum ke gile

Oh kabhi, mai chahun tere liye
Mai chahun mere liye
Jo gaoon sabke liye

Jungalon aur samandaron me sami
Hai raahtein jo mile na kabhi
Is haseen samay ki yeh rahat samajh me aane lagi
Ban jayegi yeh khushi, mil jayegi yeh khushi
Kitne samay guzar gaye, bichad gaye is samay
Ban jayegi yeh zameen....

The Video....

Here's the video to Green Day's :Boulevard of Broken Dreams" Just to continue on my last to last post :D

I Walk Alone.... Boulevard of Broken Dreams

A couple of weeks earlier... after returning my friends sister's scooter (An Activa actually but some stubbornly prefer calling it a scooty) at mehrauli....
I decided to walk back... I had no destination in my mind... Just music in my ears... words in my mouth... thoughts in my mind to give me company along that walk.

The walk started from the interiors of mehrauli... the smallest of bylanes that one can imagine... through shops... with people sitting around on the steps... peeping through their balconies.... some walking past to get to their homes... some walking by aimlessly with their friends... having a good time... and in midst of all this there I was... walking past with a song in my lips... and a tempest of thoughts and emotions... varying from every song that was being played... relating each and every one of them to some thought or the other... always putting two and two together and getting five... despite knowing that the answer should be 4... but how else would I be able to explain why they were not fitting... why things were not in its place...

Well anyways I kept walking... from thinking to the next bus stop to the next... kept walking like this till I had reached almost IIT... this was late in the night at 10... I was supposed to go to my friends place to pick up his bike... just dint feel like stopping... wanted to keep walking... but some sense got to me finally.. it was too late... and would have been indecent of me to barge into a home late in the night to take a bike that too for my own cause... too much to ask even if the friend would have understood... (funnily he realised without my saying so that I had been walking a long distance)

Well anyways that was the first part of the walk... a good 7-8 kms... dint realise how time went by...

Moving on to a few days back... took the bike and ripped across gurgaon to delhi... just to meet a couple of friends... in the night... there was nothing else remotely motivating on the offer.. not even a couple of drinks ;) ... yet I decided to go for it... it had been quite sometime since I had met them... so I ripped across town... met them at priyas... from there went with them in their car leaving the bike in the parking to pandara road for some dinner... time 1230am... post dinner me and my friend decided to walk back home... so that the other two friends could go back without any more trouble since one of them had a migraine... and had to go all the way to mayurvihar... another corner of delhi... I had no problem in making up my mind for the walk... surprising to be honest... wasnt sure that my friend would make it though.. but anyways we decided to go ahead... convinced our friends to leave without us... the time 0215am....
so there we were a couple of crazy guys one holding on to his helmet... walking in the middle of the night with no idea of the roads... but just decided to go back walking home...
The two of us were surprisingly silent on the walk back home... with the occasional banter of how our legs were feeling and yet felt we could keep going on... the random songs tht we sang... and from my end to be honest.. the occasional 'whats going on in ur mind' to escape from being questioned the same... just to show that I am very much present there physically as well as mentally. Well anyways, we reached AIIMS soon enough after making a slight halt at safdarjung flyover to enjoy the view... sadly it wasnt to be with all the construction going on... yet we stopped for a couple of minutes...and walked on...the time 0400am. We got there in good time actually considering tht we had decided in our minds tht it wouldnt be a surprise if we made it only by 0600am :)

I dont know why I wrote all of this... I remember I had this song in my mind before I started putting all the above onto paper... my walk from mehrauli...
Silly isnt it? Well... I remember humming to the song too while I was walking :D

"I Walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Dont know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a..."

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

Anyways... to finish the incomplete post above... decided to take an auto as I had to get back to gurgaon... so went till priya's got a decent rate even @ tht time of the night (I wonder how tho) picked up the bike which neither one of us were counting on to be there (considering tht we had no papers on the bike... all lost... its his bike btw) dropped my friend back home... had a smoke half heartedly... but then neither felt like it so threw it away... and I rode back enjoying the beautif ul sky and the wind in my face.... in no hurry... glad abt tht too... coz funnily when I did make it home... I was stranded outside the house with no keys... as my friend was gallavanting himself somewhere in Delhi (For all tht walking tht we did, we had a guy who cud have easily picked us up...)
Well sat on the bike outside the house... under the black sky just the moon for my company :)

The Reason..

A Beautiful song... by Hoobastank.... the reason... dont knw wat to write... have so many things going on in the mind... too difficult to put them down on pen n paper...
Here's the video along with the lyrics...

The Reason - Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person, As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you, It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears, Thats why i need you to hear



I've found a resaon for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show, A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do, And the reason is you

an earthbound misfit....

above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
across the clouds I see my shadow fly
out of the corner of my watering eye
a dream unthreatened by the morning light
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

there's no sensation to compare with this
suspended animation, a state of bliss
can't keep my mind from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Yet another movie

One sound, one single sound
one kiss, one single kiss,
a face outside the window pane,
however did it come to this?

A man who ran: a child who cried
a girl who heard, a voice that lied
the sun that burned a fiery red
the vision of an empty bed

The use of forge, he was so tough
she'll soon submit, she's had enough
the march of fate, the broken will
someone is lying very still

He has laughed and he has cried
he has fought and he has died
he's just the same as all the rest,
he's not the worst, he's not the best

And still this ceaseless murmuring,
the babbling that I brook,
the seas of faces, eyes upraised
the empty screen, the vacant look

A man in black on a snow white horse,
a pointless life has run it's course,
the red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
as he fades into the setting sun

Nothing Else Matters



Nothing Else Matters - Cover by Apocalytica

Came across this video on the Rosebowl channel... one of the rare mallu channels that I like... prob because they show less of Mallu ;-)

I love the whole setup... the background... the idea of just the performers... cellists (?)... really nice.. ... nothing else matters - Cover by Apocalytica

"The Cuppycake Song"



No lip-syncing here folks, This is the REAL DEAL!: The original 1994 video of "The Cuppycake Song" (words and music by Judianna Castle) being recorded by the original artist (our daughter, Amy at age 3 yrs, 10 mo.) in our home studio.

Although there were many takes of the song during the session, this was the one that made it onto our BALLOONS children's CD(www.cdbaby.com/buddycastle)and the one which has generated so much interest on the internet.

Since uploading "The Cuppycake Song" to the web in 1996, it has truly taken on a life of it's own. On You Tube alone, there are currently over 2,000 videos using this song! In the last ten years we have received thousands of unsolicited comments from people of all ages across the US and many countries around the world who have been touched by this simple song and the tiny voice that sings it.

Now at last, you can see the face that goes with the voice. This should finally put to rest the false rumor that the song was sung by Strawberry Shortcake.
To read some of the many listener comments and to see additional photos of Amy, please visit us at www.cuppycake.com

Amy will be 18 on April 2, 2008 and enjoys creating
and editing her own videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQeGpmxcXMI

P.S: Amy sure seems to have grown.... ;-)

Gali mein aaj chand nikala….

Its funny how some things happen... ok.... maybe funny is the wrong word here.... but well I dont know what to make of it...

For the past couple of weeks and more… the moon has been pricy with its appearance.... havent been able to see it… have missed having the conversations that we used to have… ( yeah… talkin to the moon.. makes me a crazy person.....right? but then again does it??? )

Today someone posted this song on their orkut page...



A very beautiful song... soft and melodious....

Later during the night.... someone else (edition done - :) ) updates their profile on orkut... makes me go crazy... I dont know why it still affects me.... why I behave so… I mean.. I seem to be contradicting myself... but anyways... beginning to act mad and all hassled, I decide to step out for a walk and a smoke... and voila!!! The moon is out there... in the clouds.... with them still trying to cover the light shining through... sort of like a mist around it.... and the first thing that comes to my mind....
Jaane kitne dinon ke baad.... gali mein aaj chand nikala...

Must be purely coincidental that chand is someone I treasure... someone whose profile got updated.... another reason for me to lose my mind... seems paradoxical in some way.... I dont know.... but what is that I have done... what is it that I do....

Jaane kitne dinon ke baad...

gali mein aaj chand nikala...

The Video

And for those who are interested in seeing the video that I found to be best suitable for the song below... rather maybe the one that I was best able to relate with... then here it is... although you would have seen it already on my profile...

Had gone through many others including the soundtrack version (OST Serendipity) but then this is what I found to be the closest to what I feel... especially the beginning few lines that's written... sometimes I wonder whether it makes me feel any less if it wasn't written/said by me in the first place... but well I can't help it if someone else beat me to it... or may be someone else is out there who feels the same way as I do...

Anyways here's the video... the distance by evan and joran

The Distance - Evan and Joran

The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to grey
At least thats how it feels to me
Whenever youre away
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time youre cominback

I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
But I cant take the distance

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe youre close to me
But it aint close enough
Not nearly close enough

I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name

I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side Id do anything
I cant take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
Thats how much you mean to me
cause I cant take the distance
I cant take these miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
I cant take the distance

Its hard to remember
As long as youre away
When I find solace
Theres only one way

Dil Se Re....

A very nice song sung really well by Rahman...


Friday, February 15, 2008

On love and its loss or on hope and faith??

A very beautiful song that I have always loved... something that I always used to sing... still do more so...

love the lyrics... the way its been sung... the visuals... everything about it makes me feel good... gives me hope... love it completely....

sometimes I think how silly it is of me.... to believe in it... to think of all this... to be like this... but then again.. I begin to realize... this is like my second skin.. this is the way I am.. this is how I feel.... this is how I love...

does everything that I feel hold no truth... is it just something that I dont realise and understand... are the people around me telling the truth... should I stop believing in myself? Should I stop believing in the one thing that I have always believed in and stood by... my self... my conscience

I wonder where the road leads .... I wonder what role I am to play....

For those who get to read this do listen to it as well....

Raindrops keep falling on my head....

...
I like the video a lot... reminds me of the things I did... of the things that I dreamed of doing...

and well...
"But there's one thing, I know
the blues they sent to greet me won't defeat me.
It won't be long 'till happiness steps up to greet me"

I just hope that the happiness is the one that I hope for.... Here's "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"

With a little help from my friends.....

Here's another cult song.... titled... "With a little help from my friends"

I present two versions... the first famously sung by Joe Cocker at Woodstock '69 and the other by the Beatles....

First, Here is Joe Cocker...



And now presenting the Beatles...



Dunno, which one is the better... but then... thats just a matter of choice...

The minds in a turmoil....

From the City of Angels....

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am



And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

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...
