I Have Nothing Specific To Say Right Now...

... So I shall tell you why I love Sundays. They are just perfect, to laze around on, and catch up on much needed myself-time. I don't have to study, I don't have to work, I don't have to worry about any responsibilities, I can let go completely, and do as I wish. Sundays are the best days, truly.

And now for some random writing.

Here are my Five Favourite Songs at the moment:

1. The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You

2. The Pogues - Love You Till The End

3. Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine

4. Chicago - If You Leave Me Now

5. The Eels - I Need Some Sleep

Yesterday's lunch at Ballygunge Dhaba was fabulous fun. Another restaurant I shall never be able to show my face at again. *sigh* But Happy Birthday to Shreya and Rudrani- may they have a wonderful year ahead.

Also, have come across this absolutely wonderful foodblog: http://www.asliceofcherrypie.blogspot.com/. One of the best blogs I have seen till date- the photography is amazing, as is the writing, and don't even get me started on the cooking! This blog is a true inspiration. Check it out if you can.

And just because I feel like posting a picture, here's one taken last year in December, of me and Obelix.

All for now. Time to get back to lazing around.

You.

“And I can barely look at you,
But every single time I do,
I know we’ll make it anywhere,
Away from here.
Light up, light up,
As if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice-
I’ll be right beside you, dear.”
- Run (Snow Patrol)

It’s crazy how much these lyrics remind me of You.

I’ve had people walk into my life quietly and unobtrusively, whom I’ve become close to. I’ve had people run into my life, and with sudden speed, I’ve developed intense friendships. And then I’ve had You, sauntering casually into my life, and in a matter of months, changing it completely. Words, or even sentences, for that matter, will not be able to explain how much You mean to me. We started off with zilch interaction, barely knew of each other’s existence, and look at us now.

You got me through a very difficult time. I know You say that I shouldn’t thank You for it, but I do. I never opened up to anyone about it, You were the only one. You never gave me unwanted advice, You never pushed me this way or that, or made meaningless comments- You were just there, to listen and give support. You gave me the strength to pick myself up and carry on.

We have a strange relationship indeed. Looking back at the way we started, I can hardly imagine us as those two same people. We’ve truly come a long way. It’s a surreal friendship. We’re as different as football and pink pajamas, and yet somehow, I look forward to our special time together. Our ideologies are poles apart, and yet, somehow, I get You, and You get me. We’ve learnt to embrace each other’s little quirks and individual ideas- and it’s brought us closer. Our relationship isn’t defined by anything- and that’s what I love about it.

It’s ironic that You recommended the song Run to me in the first place, and now it reminds me so strongly of You. I stand by the lyrics- certain circumstances stand in the way, but we can make it anywhere, with a bond like this. And I will always be right beside you, even if I’m not there in person.

There’s so much I could say to you, but everything’s said, yet unsaid. Thank You for being in my life. It’s going to be an amazing journey indeed.

Random Thoughts.

1. KFC rocks! I went there for lunch today, after ages. Mmm- fried chicken is the cure for everything!

2. Started watching a movie called The Prestige in the evening, then the power went off, and I missed most of it, but I watched the end. True, I didn't follow much, but it's a brilliant movie, and I am going to watch it again. I recommend it very highly. Hugh Jackman is an added bonus. *wink*

3. Playing the Random-Questions game is fun. I'm sure the person who this is meant for knows what I'm talking about. Heh.

4. My latest favourite song is Keane- Everybody's Changing

5. Booze-party at Neeli's place was good fun- surreal, to say the least, but great fun. Right from the emotional trips to guys passing out all over the place- it was a day to remember!

The Beatles

It's strange how you don't like something the first time, and then love it later.

I never liked The Beatles before. Sure, I liked a few songs like "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be", but that was it. But after listening to "Rock And Roll Music" in Literature and the Other Arts class, I decided to try The Beatles again.

And now I am completely and utterly hooked onto them.

From morning I've been listening to "Yellow Submarine", "Across The Universe", "All You Need Is Love", "Drift Away", and many many others. They have a lovely sound- smooth and mellow. And every song is a masterpiece in itself.

The Beatles rock!

P.S. - I never liked The Doors before too, but listened to "Back Door Man" in the very same class, and have decided to give them another try too!

Supersonic Overdrive!

Hello little boys, little toys
We're the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls
Running down your face...

Dammit- I just can't get it out of my head!

Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapon's sensation
On your back
With loaded guns!

Talk about addictive...
I find myself singing these lines while I'm cooking, lacing up my Converse sneakers, or even brushing my teeth.

Now hold on to me, pretty baby
If you want to fly
I'm gonna melt the fever, sugar
Rolling back your eyes...

Ever get a song into your head that you simply can't get out? One that you wouldn't want to get out too- because it's just too darn catchy?
Le Disko is stuck in my head now. For lesser enlightened ones, it's this amazing song by Shiny Toy Guns- that was featured in the MotoRazr 2 ad.
BRILLIANT song.
The lyrics just get me inside- know what I mean?

We're gonna ride the race cars
We're gonna dance on fire
We're the girls Le Disko
Supersonic overdrive...

"Supersonic Overdrive". I have had that as my Gtalk status display for a while now. And believe me, I'm one to change status displays as frequently as... Erm.. Well, just frequently. (For want of a good simile.)

So what's it gonna take?
Silver shadow believer
Spock rocker with your dirty eyes
It's a chance gonna move
Gonna fuck up your ego
Silly boy gonna make you cry...

"Silver shadow believer"... I am just speechless. Does it get you tapping your feet, or what??!

If what they say is true...
You're a boy - and I'm a girl
I will never fall in love with you.

I love this song! Every time I hear it, it makes me want to get up and dance!
It's official- this song is my latest addiction.
And it's not just me- I've made someone else crazy about it too. Feels nice to spread the joy.

Oh, and by the way- this blog post is for you. I guess you know why. *wink*
