My recent song selection…..

… prompted Ishaan to suggest a few songs to me… I heard then and tried to figure out the meaning of the songs…. a couple of them are so metaphoric.

Check out Release, Nothingman, Black by Pearl Jam.

Had a lengthy conversation with him later on what the interpretations of these songs should be….

When love and hate collide by Def Leppard

You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl, for the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall, but I ain’t gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby, united we fall
Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All I know I can’t fight this flame
You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause I’m crazy ’bout you baby, time after time

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can’t stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

I don’t wanna fight no more, I don’t know what we’re fighting for
When we treat each other baby, like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes
There’s a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know got to win this time

You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause I’m crazy ’bout you baby…crazy…crazy
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
If you have a heart at all
Without you
Can’t stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

Nothing much to say… just that I find these lyrics beautiful…

Google’s page for IE

Google has this page customized page setup for Firefox users at http://google.com/firefox. This is the homepage that gets setup for Firefox users after the first install. Similarly, I tried to see if they had anything setup for Safari, Opera, IE etc… and as it turns out, there is one for ie at http://google.com/ie. Its a weird little page in which the textfield stretches right across the page and the results returned contain only the title.

I wonder why folks at Google have this page up there…

Dust in the Wind by Kansas

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won’t another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Some might call this a pessimistic look at life, while some may call it a practical look at life… I cant really make up mind.

Say this, mean that…

I dont mean half the things I say, and I dont say half the things I mean

will I be like this when I am 30 ?

This dude was over the other day and he came over into my room asking me I had any movies. I told him about a few. I mentioned about this new movie I had of an Indian actress. He asked me there are any scenes in it…. if u know what i mean….. well i just told him that there wasn’t anything great….

The dude is a great dude… really nice person.

But… the whole thing made me wonder…. will I be the same ? When I have a wife and kid would I still get disappointed on getting to know that some there aren’t any ~kewl~ scenes in some movie ?

just been too busy & Globat sucks

Lately have been too busy with all the work as the sem is coming to an end soon. On top of that this site’s server went down. I guess it is still running of a back up now. I didnt bother making any posts…

Globat sucks… this is the second time the server had issues with the storage. Last time I lost quite a bit of data… luckily i had backed up just a few days before…

The Flame by Cheap Trick

Another night slowly closes in,
And I feel so lonely.
Touching heat freezing on my skin,
I pretend you still hold me.
I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep.
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you.
I can’t believe you’re gone.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Watching shadows move across the wall,
I feel so frightened.
I wanna run to you, I wanna call,
But I’ve been hit by lightening.
Just can’t stand up for fallin’ apart.
Can’t see through this veil across my heart, over you.
You’ll always be the one.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep.
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you.
You’ll always be the one.
You were the first, you’ll be the last.

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon.
Remember: after the fire, after all the rain,
I will be the flame.
I will be the flame.

Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you.
And whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.

Kewl lyrics…. that’s all… peeps I aint down in the dumps !! I suppose these lyrics, just reflect what I felt once…… maybe…… just maybe… still do.

Trip to NRS Mall

Well… the idea was to give Nisha company on her shopping trip, but I ended up spending loads myself. I was helping her choose stuff for her cousins and while I was at it, I started looking at things for myself too.

You have enuf clothes already, but whats the harm in looking at clothes…right..? well as it turns out…. it is harmful. I checked out a lot of clothes and even though I didn’t need them, I ended up buying them because they were looking good. I had to get a few things for my peeps back in India, but that didnt happen. :)

Well… I was sitting in the mall, while Nisha was away getting something for herself to eat…. I had a moment. I just looked around and saw these loads and loads of people who were all around me. People of all kinds, doing all kinds of things…. just trying to enjoy themselves. Some were good looking, others great….. some were laughing, others frowning…… some whispering, others shouting…. some with nothing, others with loads of things…… For some reason, looking all around me, just brought a smile to my face. I liked being there. :)
