January lyrics
I know you told me this before
I know you told me this a million times
You say you don’t know how you feel
You don’t know if you even love me anymore

If she was a good kisser
Then I know how much I miss her

January came
By April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown
By Christmas we were through

I wish I didn’t say I’m sorry
I wish you loved me still the same
I wish I wasn’t such a wishy-washy prick
I wish I said just how I felt

If I was a good listener
Maybe you would still be here

January came
By April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown
By Christmas we were through

I still miss the way we touch
I miss the way you bite my tongue
I miss the way you run away
You run away

January February March April May
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you’re leaving me
January February March April May
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you’re leaving me

I know you told me this before
I know you told me this a million times (times) (times) (times)
You say you don’t know how you feel (feel) (feel)
When will you know just how you feel?

January came
By April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown
By Christmas we were through

January February March April May
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you’re leaving me (I know you’re leaving me)
January February March April May
June through December I wish you would stay
I know you’re leaving me

On the road….my dreams of nirvana

Someday I want to be on the road,
Driving nowhere fast,
Hoping that the journey will last.
With a full tank of gas
My sunglasses on..and baggage zilch..
Oh !! the adrenaline rush !
Got nowhere to go, got no one to please,
Going where the heart takes me...
Watching miles pass me by and people.
Darkness turns to light ..and night to day,
Times passes by without your say.
Trying to get a piece of the sky,
In my mind, I wish to fly.
Trying to absorb the warmth of the sun...
Cruising along until I reach the horizon
Or to wherever the end of the planet might be..
Am Dreamin' of a picturesque place and
Where the land has sun and sand
And a stillness and some calm..
There I will find...me and my Nirvana..

Dedicated to Music

What is it about music that moves me, the soul stirring, the heart warming and the smile widening…..
She calms my senses and makes me go into a trance…
A haze purple, silver or white draws me away from my blues……
The beats ring in my ears, making me deliberate over things, ponder and make me wander.
Can I put into words her entirety, her beauty..Such is the power of music..of keys and of notes..
She’s a wonder…My Music <3 in every part of my life..

Few of My Favourite Quotes

Image via Wikipedia

One of my all time favourite quotes is by Ayn Rand – truly inspiring lines. Has always made me sit up and notice where I am..

Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.

• This is John Galt Speaking, Atlas Shrugged

“Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person’s sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they’re taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment – just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! – an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience – or to fake – a sense of self-esteem .. Love is our response to our highest values – and can be nothing else.”
— Ayn Rand

Another one of my author quotes and verses has been of the Late J.R.R.Tolkien. His stories always manage to transport me to his land of elven kings and queens, men and hobbits

“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)

This was my favourite verse describing Aragorn *sigh*

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by frost.
From the ashes a fire shall waken,A light from shadows shall spring,
Renewed will be the sword that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.

Its rain, beautiful rain…it haunts me, it takes me to turmoil, it calms my soul, its sweetness takes my breadth away, and its rage scares me, rain beautiful rain

There are many more I have saved. Will post them another day .

My Beautiful People

You must have met them somewhere…

As the life of a party…

Or helping someone out…

They are the ones who make the effort for you…

Who ask you what pains you..

And ask if they can find the remedy for you…

Who inspite of their own reluctance

do something if only to please you..

Who are worried more about your comfort than their own…

What I would not give to have such people in my life.

They are the beautiful people ..

Wait….

The story does not end here…

Because they are in my life

My piece of miracle…

My very own beautiful people..

This is what i could come up with today… I am sure that we will have many more such beautiful times together…And more lines with that …Dedicated to my beautiful people – Kavita, Preetha, Rashmi, Rajat, Ravi,Kikia, Aashish, Yashvanth, Chandan and lastly Archu for making this happen….

special thanks to our guest star NIDHI who has cornered a part of our hearts <3

Oft Remembered Song – November Rain

November hath come and I was itching to put up this.  Touted by fans as the all time greatest song of G ‘N’R , “November Rain”. As rock music goes, this is an unusually long song with (in my personal opinion) some of the most beautiful and meaningful lyrics of all times. It is said to be a “rock ballad”, goes on for about 9 minutes with a 2 minute solo guitar piece at the end by Slash. The video for this song has been known for its stunning cinematography and has won the MTV Video Music Award.

There is some interesting background info on the song. The band refer it to be a triology of sorts along with their other songs Don’t Cry and Estranged.

Following are the lyrics

November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time…on your own
Do you need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time…on my
own Sometimes I need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you need somebody
Don’t ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Shattered and Whole

You don’t want to believe that we could be one again…

You don’t want to believe that you can feel love again…

I want to move away from this life,

From all the drama created

From all the pain and the disappointment

From the negativity

To a better sun,

To a better shore,

I am not running away from…

I just want my space…my share of  “calm”

To rediscover who I was and what I meant to Be…

I always meant to be good,

giving out rather than taking from…

I meant to be the best person that I can be….

Somewhere..I have lost my way and need to find it again

Where I used to be before the heartache..

………………..

Somehow you are responsible for my reasons and passions now…

But the day will come when I will come into my own..

I will be whoever I want to be.

…………..
