Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand

Vanished from my hand

Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet

And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship

My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip

My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels

To be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade

Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way

I promise to go under it.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.......

To Falter , Rise and Falter Again

What I have realised is that we are all vunerable in life. We are all designed to commit mistakes, learn from them and then move ahead to commit some new ones. The mistake part keeps happening and I guess, this is what is called as learning or experience.

I wonder, when we all know that mistakes are bound to happen, why do we try to be perfect ?

I realise that some mistakes do cause a big impact in life. The effect of it is not on how people treat you after you have commited the blunder, but on how you deal with yourself. Its lies all in the mind. Some times we are so hard on ourselves that we loose our track in life.

I also know this is easier said than done. I guess what can come as a little bit of a rescue during such crisis is external support. A shoulder to hold on to. Trust me folks, helping someone during such a crisis can revive him or her. You may not even realise your effort. But you may soon realise that this support has done wonders to him or her.

To Falter, to rise and to Falter back is what's going to happen for us all the time. Let us accept the fact and be a little lenient on ourselves. Many more gross mistakes, still awaits us in the future.

Kabhi toh Sochoan Yaroan...

Its been 2 months since I have moved to the US. But somehow it looks like ages. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have moved to the US, long time back. But then I realise that I would have lost all the wonderful years that I would have spent home.
.

People say, one should move to the US at the young age, make quick money and then laze around for the rest of the life. But what people don’t realise is that with growing age your hunger for money and materialistic pleasures just keep increasing. Dil mange toh sirf More and More.
.

Things start in your childhood. Dad Bole padhai kaar, fir future Set. So I studied. Boss bola mann lagage kaam karr, fir Promotion set. So I sloughed. Duniyain boli Onsite settle hoan beta, Life Set. So I flew. Is set ke chakaarr main toh salaa life unset hoan jaati hain. This brings me to the point that - Why are we living our present for the future, that we aint even sure of seeing it.
.

Lucky are the beggar. He is one among the few who lives in the present. He lives just to survive the moment. Kuch expectations nahi na kuch goal setting. Bus Ajh ke liyain jiyaon.
.

Life as they say is all about choices. We need to make a choice and stand by it. However life sometimes doesn’t give you choices. They sound and feel like choices. But in reality they are someone elses decisions. You are just an actor in front of the camera. Its not you whose enacting the drama, it’s the director. The moment you don’t listen to him, you are shown the door. People would say that this in itself is a choice. But to me in reality, its just an incovenient decision thrown on you.
.

Sometimes I wonder how much Life has taught me in the last 28 years. And I still Ponder, how much is yet to go.......

Undisputed LoVe

I love the way,

You look through me.

I prize the way,

You read my Mind

I relish the way,

You hear

My Unheard Voices.

You have been the only One.

 

You are my Delight,
You are my Passion,
You are my true Love.

Love You – ShutterBug

Now and Forever.

Faded...Away.

Once upon a time there lived a man who dreamt. He dreamt for his future.He dreamt that he would be supported by his own people to achieve his dreams. He dreamt togather with them, for a beautiful world.

However his dream crashlanded. His own people killed his dreams. They didnt stand besides him, but against him. He fought. He persisted. He Failed.

Today the person no longer dreams. He only sleeps. He is alive. But not living.

“Life is never easy for those who dream"

Bye Bye....2010

Long Long time ago,

I sat on this bench with a friend,

Who kept asking questions,

Of all sorts.

I was asked....

‘What will you do when I go?’

I had just laughed it off then and said nothing

I was again asked....

‘Will you miss me when I go?

I had just laughed it off then and said nothing

I was once again asked....

‘How will you survive without me?

I had just laughed it off then and said nothing

All this time I kept laughing and not saying a word,

Thinking that life would go on and on,

But

Today as I look back,

Surprisingly i realize,
that people move on

 

But

I still keep smiling and laughing,

But

This time around

'Just on Myself'

Bye Bye 2010

Jazz Utsav 2010 Pune

Yes, I dont understand Jazz. People say it music and music shld have no boundaries. However, i aint convinced. With due respect to the participants of Jazz Utsav 2010-Pune, i couldnt enjoy the session. I didnt comprehend the notes nor did feel the rhythm. I gave up with time. And switched to a different Music.

The Music of my shutterbug. Becoz this is the one thats really a music to my ears. A music that my other music luvers friends may not comprehend. As I always say " To each, It Own". Cheers.S.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain"- Bob Marley

Baggage - This one the heaviest of All

The mind baggage is the most heaviest of all. It can kill you when you are still alive. The pain can be deep and you are caught to escape nowhere. You are alive. But Not Living !!!

The Burning Age

I am wondering what to do. The recent times have been very hectic. Not on the professional front though. All personal ones. It’s just another Saturday today and another of my unfruitful weekends. Talking about ‘unfruitful’ periods is so relative. The meaning has changed substantially. A men’s life has so many phases and the transformation happens without you actually understanding the change. Suddenly one day, you look at yourself and feel the change. See the other You.

Let’s me categorise men’s life into few stages. The first being the Mama’s Boy stage, age being 5-15. The boy lives his life, but under the strict guidance of his parents. His sole aim in life is to wind up his homework and be there at the playground as soon as possible. Some smart one end up spending time near the girl’s schools and the smartest ones behind them. Then come the Sudden Independence Phase, age being 16-23. This is the stage where you suddenly smell independence. The jail inmates are let loose. Some loose track. The smart ones are the one who lose their track and somehow work it hard to reach back to the road. The really smart ones are the ones who intentionally lose their track, wander around, think through and finally create their own roads to wisdom. The phase starts with getting into a good school and ends with getting out with a good job. The search for ‘good’ begins right here. Next is the Golden Age, 24-26. Nobody questions you nor do you answer anyone. You have the most powerful weapon all for yourself, the Money. You spend it at your whims and fancies. A large part of it is dedicated to good food, good wines and good women. All these turn out to be basic necessasities. You spoil yourself to Glory.

Boom Boom. The golden age disappears and what begins is the R’ age, 27-30. You suddenly feel the weights around. The weights of career, Money and Marriage. You feel burdened. Helpless. You wonder whats wrong. Why suddenly is the junta asking you to be responsible and take decisions. Peer pressure further adds to miseries. You get screwed for not taking a decision and for not scaling up. You are made to feel Responsible.

Welcome folks to the Burning Age. Age that makes you burn to glory to die to Ashes.

P.S: The rest will follow with experience. I hope the burning stops and the cooler wind lie ahead of me. Amen.
