Why Do All Good Things Come To An End?

March 30, 2007 · Leave a Comment

oI too wonder why all good things come to an end? Why ? does anyone out there knows the answer? Why something good, something so beautiful such as love comes to an end?Why should lovers part as frnds? It isnt easy being frnds with a person U love. It’s hell of a job! Ashi said, “But we can always be frnds.”  Sorry, I cant. I just cant kill my feelings for u and pretend everything is perfect. That we r one good happy family. Nooooo!! I have feelings for u, which are not at all as insipid as frndship. I Love You, damnit!It’s something extremely volatile, intense, inflamable!Nothing shallow or insipid. Nothing impersonal.it’s was bautiful. It was nothing less than divine.Why, oh why do all beautiful n good things come to an end?

honestly what will become of me
don’t like reality
it’s way too clear to me
but really life is daily
we are what we don’t see
missed everything daydreaming
flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end
flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to an end?

traveling i only stop at exits
wondering if i’ll stay
young and restless
living this way i stress less
i want to pull away when the dream dies
the pain sets in and i don’t cry
i only feel gravity and i wonder why

flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end
flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end

come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to an end?

well the dogs were whistling a new tune
barking at the new moon
hoping it would come soon so that they could
dogs were whistling a new tune
barking at the new moon
hoping it would come soon so that they could
die die die die die

flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end
flames to dust
lovers to friends
why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
why do all good things come to an end?

well the dogs were barking at a new moon
whistling a new tune
hoping it would come soon
and the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day til the feeling went away
and the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
whistling a new tune
hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

I’m Too Lost in You…

March 29, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I’m too lost in YOU, ASHI. I dont think i cud have been able to put it any better. I am lost in You. I am slipping. I cant eat, I cant sleep.  Listen to the song, u will know wat state i am in. Love ya loads, Ashi.

You look into my eyes
I go out of my mind
I can’t see anything
Cos this love’s got me blind
I can’t help myself
I can’t break the spell
I can’t even try

I’m in over my head
You got under skin
I got no strength at all
In the state that I’m in

And my knees are weak
And my mouth can’t speak
Fell too far this time

Baby, I’m too lost in you
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can’t sleep
I can’t think
I just think about the things that you do (you do)
I’m too lost in you
(Too lost in you)

Ooh
Well you whispered to me
And I shiver inside
You undo me and move me
In ways undefined
And you’re all I see
And you’re all I need
Help me baby (help me baby)
Help me baby (help me now)

Cos I’m slipping away
Like the sand to the tide
Falling into your arms
Falling into your eyes
If you get too near
I might disappear
I might lose my mind

Baby, I’m too lost in you
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can’t sleep
I can’t think
I just think about the things that you do (you do)
I’m too lost in you
(Too lost in you)

I’m going in crazy in love for you baby
(I can’t eat and I can’t sleep)
I’m going down like a stone in the sea
Yeah, no one can mess with me
(No one can mess with me)

Oooh, my baby
Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, I’m too lost in you
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can’t sleep
I can’t think
I just think about the things that you do (you do)
I’m too lost in you

I’m lost in you
I’m lost in you
I’m lost in everything about you
So deep (so deep), I can’t sleep
I can’t think
I just think about the things that you do (you do)
I’m too lost in you
(Too lost in you)

Take My Breath Away…

March 26, 2007 · Leave a Comment

i didnt do anything today. i was too busy with my classes.In bet the classes i decided to go to the temple. Felt nice to be sitting there 4 a while. Last time i went was for Ashi’s B’day. Tht was in August. After tht i didnt go to Kaalibari for long. Never had enough time to squeeze it in bet my schedule.

Hmm.. so wat did i do? Nothingspecial but the usual stuff. Got myself a pastry n a candle. Blew up the candle n wished myself a very “happy b’day”. A few close frnds n family had wished me in the morning. So there was no one in the evening.I sat there all alone, reflecting on my past, on my present and future.

Today wen I went to the temple, i broke down.there was silent tears in my eyes. All the while the puja was being performed, i was wondering wat was the meaning of the life? Why was i there? My past actions,  do they have any bearing upon my present or future. God being omniscient, why did he mess my life up? y did HE make me fall in love for a guy which obviously doesnt feel anything for me.

Y r u such a coward ASHI?  wat are u scared of? We wont be the first pp, on earth if we do decide to go against our parents wishes. But no, u think tht marriages are the union of two families. I agree fine , but dont the guy n gurl has a right to their happiness? Are we here to perform our duties towards our families? forgetting abt our own pleausres, own happiness?

Am i being selfish?Is caste community religion is tht all tht matters? No the fact tht how much a person loves the other. I guess i am naive for i always thought tht “Love conquers everything”!

But damn i fell for a guy who is such a coward. always shying away frm confrontations. He says “No i dont wanna hurt my mom”. Fine! But u can very conveniently hurt me, right?and all tht  talk abt me n mummyji being ur left n right eye is so damn corny!

Why do i love him? And if thts not enough, i even prayed 4 him. I even asked the pujari to conduct one puja in his name. Damn ! wats wrong with me? Why the hell am i blind??? 

Well i will end with a song which we both loved a lot.(BTW did i tell u guys tht he didnt wish me. Hmm… infact he never does. he didnt in the past. and it is rather foolish of me to expect him to wish me now.)I love this song. Yeah he really does take my breath away.He aways did. And he still does.We have spent so many nites listening to the song. i haunts me sometimes, wen i hear berlin singing once again “take my breath away”…

everyword is so damn true. Love knows no pride. All it knows is how to keep on loving.everytime i hear the song. i can actually see the two of us enacting each n every line of it. Yeah in slow motion, i see the mirror crashing, all dreams shattered into millions of pieces.

But one thing i am 100% sure abt is the fact tht the flame of our love burns the brightest. I will always be there to haunt ur memories, just like u do, ashi. U might be talking, speaking, making love to anyone but the memory of wat he shared wud Always burn bright.

Take My Breath Away

Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover’s game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there’s a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

 btw did i mention I love Tom Cruise??!!!  yesssssssss i do, i think he is awesome! but, but it’s Ashi who “takes my breath away!”

Happy Birthday to Me

March 26, 2007 · 6 Comments

happy_birthday-111.JPGHmm… so it’s my b’day today.

 It’s odd being all alone on b’day. No frnds no family around…so quiet!

I didnt tell anyone abt it.

coz i am rather embarrassed to see ppl i havent seen 4 ages wish me. It feels hypocritical.

Anyways Thanks to All who wished me.

But since it’s my b’day, can i ask u 4 something God?

Will U make Ashi love me back.

It’s ok if he n i can never become us. I will live thru it. But pls God, 4 once in my life make Ash love me too. Please, thts all i have to ask u .

Make him love me too, pls.And keep him happy n content all thru his life. Give him all my happiness. Bless Him god. Love him too. Take care of him. He is a nice guy. And I love him too much. More than anyone in my life.

Ashi, it’s my day today.

Can i ask u for something?

No u dont need to gimme anything.

Just wanna say , “I Love You, sweets.” Be happy always… :-(

i am sorry but cant help the tears.

Love U Ashi……..

Shakira, Shakira!!!

March 25, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Since everyone’s going crazy abt Shakira, i thought i wud fan the sparks a little bit…I know for a fact that most of audience wud be Male and they wudnt be there to hear her sing, lo no no no… but to see her dance, as they say “hips dont lie”! :-) I am not saying she cant sing . she sings quite well n dances superbly! But i  as well as u all know that ppl come to see HER!

Damn! I remember once I asked Ashi wat does he think of me. And u know wat he said? He said , “You r cute”! Cute!!!! For heaven’s sake, cute?!Why ?? Why !!! Hey u guys keep this thing in mind, Never  And i mean NEVER tell the gurl u love that she looks CUTE! :-(

This is nothing less than a blasphemy! Women want to be called as Sexy  or Hot. But not Sweet or cute! And wen i gave him a freezing look Ashi says “Yeah, u r  sweet. Men love cute and sweet gurls. I know many of my frnds like cute gurls. ”Ahhh! the audacity of the man. :-(

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo body likes cute/ sweet gurls. U wanna compliment, say “U look Hot!” Or better still say,” u r looking SEXY!”But NOOOOOOOOOOO Cute/ Sweet, please. We wud rather tht u dont compliment us at allif the best u can come up with is “u look cute/sweet”!

Ashi will be at the Shakira  concert, but then he goes to every concert. Be it Mark Knopfler,Bryan Adams or Roger Waters…He has been to each one of them.

No i am not attending the concert. And i am not too big a fan of shakira. I wud rather attend a Jagjit Singh’s concert. Yeah yeah, dont be startled. yeah his n mine tastes ran on two different levels. He has never heard of Jagjit Singh and i havent heard of this Mark Knopfler. Well he might be a hot shot, but i dont care. Well after he initiated me into Knopfler, i do like some of his songs, but there is nothing to scream down the house.

We had lads of tusles regarding music. I have different taste in music. He has different. Though “purab n pashchim” does meet at one point, but most of the times we are poles apart.This purab n pashchim metaphor suites us well. We i am conservative , traditional n frm east. where as Ashi is  too much into the western culture, doesnt have any inhibitions, says watever comes into his mind and is frm the west.

Anyways, I hope u all have a wonderful time at the concert. oh in the meantime, u all can enjoy Shakira’s “Hips Dont Lie”. Though my fav song is “underneath ur clothes” And “illegal”. i really do enjoy her songs “hips dont lie” , “whenever , wherever”. She sets the dance floor on fire.

Three cheers for Shakira, SHAKIRA…She is awesome!

Oh baby wen u dance like that u make the men go mad!

OOOOOOOOOOOPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!! I seem to have posted the wrong video. But hey guys, wasnt that funny??!! :-) Well i enjoyed it and laughed like crazy…. heh heh heh… just cant stop laughing! SSSSSSSoo hilarious!! :-)

OK , OK. that was very mean thing to do. I apologise. :-p Now u all can watch The “SHAKIRA” perform. And this time i wont kid around. Ogle at her with all ur heart. heh heh hehe…Enjoi ;-)

Hips Don’t Lie (Shakira)

Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting. no fighting

Shakira, Shakira

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama,si, bonita,si, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

I’m on tonight my hips dont lie,
I’m starting to feel it’s right
All the attraction, the tension
Don’t you see baby, this is perfection

Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it’s driving me crazy
And I didn’t have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing

And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected – the way you right and left it
So you can keep on taking it

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama,si, bonita,si, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

I’m on tonight
You know my hips don’t lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don’t you see baby asi es perfecto

Oh I know I am on tonight my hips don’t lie
And I am starting to feel it’s right
All the attraction, the tension
Don’t you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira

Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don’t, don’t really know what I’m doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can’t so you know
That’s a bit too hard to explain

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama,si, bonita,si, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

Señorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, si!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así

Yeah
She’s so sexy every man’s fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when ‘pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain’t guilty, it’s a musical transaction
Boo-boop-so-boop
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas ’cause we own our own boats

I’m on tonight, my hips don’t lie
And I’m starting to feel you boy
Come on let’s go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto

Oh, you know I am on tonight and my hips don’t lie
And I am starting to feel it’s right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fighting
No fighting

(heh heh heh, memorise it in case u forget the lyrics in the middle of the concert) :-) And remember guys, NO FIGHTING, NO FIGHTING!

Coz “HIPS DONT LIE”!!! ;-)

I love Chulbuli… heh heh heh

March 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

hEY

This is my fav ad on TV. The character “chulbuli” is sooooooo cute. I simply love her. The ad is well made too. Simple yet so cute. The voice suites the characters in the ad very well.Chulbuli makes me smile every time i see her on TV.

Hmm.. maybe some day i wud have a cute little baby girl like u, chulbuli.  :-)

Love u loads,chulbuli.

Keep spreading smiles all around u.

Do check the video guys. She is adorable. She will win ur hearts in no time. Everytime i see this character i feel so much love in my heart. Makes my heart sing.

I think we need some sweet innocent kids like chulbuli to spread some smiles around. The world seems to be getting gloomier n gloomier each day. where did we all lose ur smiles? those innocent carefree days?

All tht we find nowdays is violence. Everyone is so damn busy tht we dont even have time to stand n stare, enjoy the simple things in life! Wat is life so full of care?

Quoting the famous poem by Henry Davies ”LEISURE”

“LEISURE”

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

The Persistence Of Memory

March 20, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I see black and white. Why never anything in between? Everything in shades of grey. Never any blues or green. Is there any beauty that is waiting for me to be seen? Can anyone put the blue back in the sky? Can anyone put the rainbow in my eyes? A silver lining in my prayer? Can anyone put the red back in the rose? I wish to see colors everywhere, everywhere.

I need to leave the hazy days behind me. I need to see the beauty that is waiting there for me. Let me pack my heart and leave the memories behind. But how can you leave behind what lives in you? How do you shake off the the past? I can’t forget that you told me so many promising lies. But I must try and forget these lonesome tears in my eyes. Help me leave the past in the past. Let me summon the pain to wash it out.

Someone cries but there’s no one to hear
No more time in an endless day
No place to hide as the secrets unfold
No more time left to fade away

My life gone from view
Without love
Without you

Close your eyes for there’s nothing to see
Only dreams hiding far away
No tears to cry now I’m left all alone
Only seems like another day

No one can hear me, a cry everlasting
Bridges of time hidden deep within earth
Not in this life is complete understanding
A feeling of hope and of peace within earth

Still waters run
Still waters run
Still waters run deep

Waiting alone there is no peace of mind
Only fear of another day
Lost in eternity no end in sight
Only dreams of another way

Look and hear me, a cry everlasting
A feeling of hope and of peace on this earth

Still waters run
Still waters run
Still waters run deep

A feeling of hope and of peace on this earth…

Still waters run
Still waters run
Still waters run deep
Still waters run
Still waters run
Still waters run deep

Answer

Answer

I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you cant look down
If it takes my whole life I wont break I wont bend
Itll all be worth it worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
youll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes a whole life I wont break I wont bend
Itll all be worth it worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
And when the stars have all burned out
Youll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning for the night has been unkind
