jlt..

And so..I'm back...maybe just for today...even though I had,as always, promised myself that I would start writing more often after May. Alas...
So, I found this nice link on books some months back..

Yes, it does remind me that I'm growing old, but what's more distressing is the fact that I still do not know what I have to or want to do. People who are close to me, suggest that I listen to the Sunscreen Song by Baz Luhrman...It's a nice song...the kind of song one can listen to at any point of time and find it apt. Sadly, just a song won't do. Surely, me and my almost twenty five years must mean more...I really would like to do a lot of things. Let's start with reading again. I want to read..and write, write really well. I think it'll take me another 10-15 days to get started on that though. That is the time I'll shift into my new apartment and finally have a room of my own. Guess I'll leave it at that till then..

?

Have I ever even lived?

the tide..

You don't know yet but you will have to learn how to bear me through it
all,else I'll just have to leave because to see you being tortured in
this manner is too much to bear...
To conquer the mind, you have to be able to distract and engage it in
something else at the right n precise moment..there's no other way
out..I wonder whether it matters to you sometimes...or whether you
understand any of it at all...

I told him to leave me...and he did...

Aur, theek hai, she asks...haan,theek hoon...
What else do I say to her..how do I tell her that I'm not so
okay..that I need her beside me..every second of the day...

Ode to music..

It comes as little surprise to me that an incessant stream of pure and ecstatic music got me to break out of my laziness to pen down something...finally! This is the third time since the new year dawned that I have the pleasure of being an unintentional eavesdropper to the jamming session of a bunch of extremely talented singers and guitarists residing in my otherwise disappointing neighbourhood. From comfortably numb to yellow to sally can wait, I have been a witness to some awesome music. The rhythm of the songs flows so freely..almost seeping through the skin..flowing through me with every rush of blood when the heart beats...I'm in love with the voice..and in love with the guitar; something that makes me wonder, albeit not for the first time, whether it is actually possible for a person to fall in love with so many people, things, experiences at the same time. Yeah, I digressed from the point I started..But, the music they are making is more blissful than life at the moment..and I wonder if I should just keep lying and flowing along with the notes...Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door...knock knock knockin' on heaven's door, yeah:)
