Rendezvous with Rock/Rap-Rock Songs …

As most of my friends know, I don’t usually listen to English songs. In-fact about 8 months back I didn’t even know what rock bands exists or even who are the famous singers, leaving a few – thanks to all the DJ nights I had attended. But one day I saw a video and suddenly I started liking those songs which earlier irritated me. Here is my first account with the world of Rock/Rap-Rock songs.

It was 2^nd day of the 9 days sem-break after 3^rd sem. I was sitting in my room with low fever, alone, and all of my friends went out for dinner. I was already frustrated regarding some personal problems, and the fever in holidays added to it. I was just browsing through some Metacafe videos, when I found this one. This video was about a rider, in-fact about a ride of the rider, the ultimate ride. The rider was shown riding his bike as fast as he could, through the highways to the main streets, through one-ways overtaking all the vehicles he came across … not giving a damn to the rules, not caring about even risking his life. He was shown driving the vehicle to the extreme. Don’t know how but I somehow got this feeling that this rider was frustrated of everything, or had faced failure somewhere that he desired passionately, and that he didn’t get the result for how much he tried. So, now there he goes breaking all the rules, all the boundations, risking his life to achieve that what he wanted, to go par his capabilities … having no one to stop him, to achieve that one ride … the Ultimate Ride. Later, after doing all that he wanted to do, his hands loosen from the handle, he relaxes his body … bike still going above 200 kmph … he raises his hands towards the sky … loses his balance, the bike shakes, falls, skids … the rider hits ground cracking his helmet along with his bones, bounces and hit again … and then … there is blood all over …

Throughout this video there was one song being played …

 

In the End – Linkin Park

It starts with One thing,

I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It’s so unreal

Didn’t look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, but didn’t even know

I wasted it all

just to watch you go

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a

memory of a time when

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall, to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

One thing, I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so [far]

Things aren’t the way they were before

You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a

memory of a time

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

The video and the lyrics affected me so much that I listened to the song a 100 times in those 9 days … and from there started my journey to the genre of English songs.

 

PS1: @Maruti : this is not the “cool” post I mentioned about … but just felt like writing.

PS2: Listning to the same song after a long time.

PS3: Finally got a mail regarding project … hopefully now we will be getting projects.

I Dream Of Jeannie !!

I have been watching “I Dream of Jeannie” for quiet a time, so I am some what familiar with Jeannies . I wonder what would I wish if I had a Jeannie … Here are some of the options which came to my mind.

 

1. Oh Jeannie !! I wish the girl I fall in love with, will love me, me and only me. That’s a little, … O.K. a lot, possessive but … can’t help it.

 

2. Oh Jeannie !! I wish I can sing like Sonu Nigam … He’s God.

 

3. Oh Jeannie !! I wish I get the result of all the hardword I do. No less, no more.

 

4. Oh Jeannie !! I wish I don’t mess-up any relation I get on with somebody.

 

5. Oh Jeannie !! I wish I don’t lose any of my loved ones anymore.

 

If possible I would have given all my wishes to my friends Harshit, Yagyesh, Amit, Reena and my elder sis, one each. But I would have done injustice had I written this instead. Those are my wish If I am compelled to wish myself.

I further tag :

1. Harshit

2. Uday

3. Aditi

4. Srirang

 

PS1: My shortest post yet.

PS2: Lost 400/- bucks when already running out of budget.

Happy Birthday …!!!

I just happened to read Himank’s latest post on “Birthday” or I should rather say “boring B’day”, and I came to think how does a B’day matter to me. When I look back my past 20 B’days there is not a single day which is not memorable (leaving those initials when I used to wear a nappy ). I don’t understand how can you say your B’day just another day, man!! This was the day when you came into existence, this was the day when you first opened your eyes, don’t you want to make that day special when your mother for the first time gave you a hug. I don’t understand when people say that their B’day is not special, when they remember the day when they first got drunk, or they will remember the day when they will, for the first time, kiss a girl.

As far as I am concerned, my B’days are always special, if not for anyone, for me. I still remember those childhood B’days when I used to wear new cloths, distribute toffies in school, celebrating with a party at home with lots of presents and a cake (that too of my choice). That used to be the day when mom couldn’t scold me, I could do whatever I like. I still remember how my eagerness to see whats inside those glittering papers used to overcome the strength of sleep to conquer my red eyes. As I grew older my way of celebrating the B’day changed, there used to be just a group of about 6-7 friends and we used to close a room and dance there, a smile still appear on my face when I recall how my sisters used to peek through the windows to see what we were doing. When I came to IIIT the tradition further changed, I was hit by eggs all over my body and was bathed by two buckets of cold water in February. It was really a memorable day and, if not best, one of the best B’days I have ever had. Later when I went to coffee shop, after having a bath, I was given a face massage by vanilla cream and a gift (which I can never forget). It was special as I even enjoyed washing my clothes full with egg-white, smelling horribly, till 3 O’clock in the morning. And again on my recent B’day they had a different plan, apart from a hell lot of bumps, they had egg and flour with them (don’t know they wanted to bake a cake or what??), which they poured on my head. I was made to walk around the campus in the same state, and was also made to do a cabaret at the smoker’s point with around 20 people circling me.

Apart from all those contributions from my family members and friends I use to make my B’day special. I get up early in the morning, go to a temple (or here in IIIT at least devote prasad to god), make a B’day resolution (I know it’s no use to make a resolution which you cant keep a month, but somehow it feels good), and do all those things which make me feel good. Calls from family members, cousins and old friend make the day more special, and if there is a surprise waiting for you, its like topping on the cake.

Well, the post is getting longer so I would like to conclude it by saying that its you who make your B’day special and no one else. So from now onwards try wishing yourself Happy Birthday before anyone else do and you will find it the most special day in your life.

The Proposal!!!

Interesting title …Right guys!!! Everyone, whome I consider to be normal [;)], must have thought about How will he propose a girl…..

When someone falls in Love it feels like flying … and he jumps from the top hoping that he will fly … but he falls and falls … and then he thinks why the hell did he jump. Here I am falling …. and there is only one person who can make me fly and that’s you Sara….

Awsome dialog (again from “Hitch”)…. When I saw this scene in which Will Smith proposes Eva Mendes. It was just marvelous … any girl will say yes on such a proposal. I am no different from any other Guy … I have also fantacised about how will I propose a girl … In fact I actually proposed a girl once .. Let me narrate you THE Incidence….

I was in my 10th class … The day started as any other day . I went to school … took the seat behind her … and started chatting with her and I came to know its her birthday the next day . I asked her if she wanted a gift .. but she refused . I didnt have any intensions like that until my friends took me to the seventh sky . Every one was saying ” This is the time man …” , ” … pata nahi is saal ke baad sab alag alag ho jayenge, phir kon kahan jaye …” and I did exactly what they wanted me to do . While returning from school I went to a gift shop … I didnt have much money so I just bought a card for her [It took me an hour and a half to select that card]. Now the easy part was done , the main concern was how to take that card home … My friend told me he will take the card and bring it next day in the class, I agreed. The day was looking to be the longest day of my life, the only thing running in my mind was what will I say when I will give her the card. All the proposals that I had seen in movies went through my mind that day. Also I was not satisfied by just a card so I decided that I myself will make something for her . I searched a hell lot in my drawing books to get a nice sketch and finally ended up with a red rose . The next day I and my friend reached school early …. I put that rose in the card . When she came I went to wish her and give her the card … I cant explain what my feelings at that time were, It was kind of excitement mixed with a little proud and a hell lot of fear . I wished her Happy B’day gave her the card …. and … I forgot everything I thought I would say … I just said there is something special in this card and came back. My friend was too curious to know … and was disappointed when I told him what happened .

After that …. she never talked to me …. and neither did I troubled her more . She changed her school after 10th [think her father got transferred]. and I ne’er saw her again .

All in all it was a great experience … now I laugh at those moments … how I was searching a card for an hour and a half … how I drew the rose and fought with my sister to use her crayons to colour that … how stupid I was that I went to propose a girl and came back without saying a word . All moments are just unforgettable …. But here I also want to apologize to the girl “where ever you are I just want to say sorry for how much I troubled you .”

This was my first experience of proposing a girl …. I would love to hear some more interesting experiences from my friends also … So here I tag these people to write a post on the same topic (In case you didnt proposed any girl yet just write how WILL you) . C’mon guyz lets see how creative you can be ….

Some pages from my heart…

Hello all the bloggers out there . I know this is a topic which many people have included in their blogs. But I couldnt find a better topic to start with.
Well, I was watching the movie ‘Hitch’ yesterday , I must say its a ‘must see’ movie. Hey wait a minute I am not here to give you the story line of the movie. Insted what struck me in the movie was a dialog
“Life is not the no. of breaths you take, its the no. of moments that take your breath away.”
Have you ever tried to recollect such moments in your life .Well, I did and here are some of them which came right from Heart .

1. Mom saying “Dhyan se jana, station par utarna mat, koi kuch de to khana mat, Pahuch kar phone karna.” While coming from home.

2. Recieving mom’s handwritten letter when you are really feeling lonely in the hostel.

3. Huggin your Dad from back when you are on a surprise visit to home.

4. Having 8 cups of tea in one shot outside BusStand just to have few more minutes with your best friend.

5. Encountering the tic-tac-toe in your old notebook, you played with your best pal, while cleaning out your cupboard.

6. Roaming around the campus with flour and egg on your head, after getting a hell lot of bumps on your Birthday night.

7. Having a night out with your best friend on the roof with a blanket and shawl and still shivering with cold as the temprature being 4 DEG in the night.

8. Looking at the Sunset while standing at the shore of sea.

9. Recieving Raakhi from sisters.

10. Having a chat with mom with your eyes closed and head in her lap while she is giving you a head massage.

11. Bursting out with a song in public.

12. Dancing in the rain with an icecream in one hand.

13. Choosing a card for a girl whome you are going to propose next day, and hiding it from everyone at home.

14. Given bike to ride on your own for the first time.

15. Your mom and dad being given a momento because you managed to get a good result.

16. Fighting with your sister for just a piece of cake or chocolate.

17. Taking about an hour to drink a glass of Apple shake in a restaurant ‘coz you have no place to wait for a friend .

These are some of the moments which are written with golden ink in my memories. These moments always bring smile to my face however depressed, however confused, however frustrated I am. I think these are the moments which give you a reason to live on this earth.

PS1: This is my first PS .
PS2: Written this post the night prior to Holi .

PS3: This post doesn’t include most of the night outs I had in IIIT ….. which will be among the top ones .. if I include ‘em ..
