A wish upon a shooting star

Have you ever just seen the stars? Not a momentary glance.I mean seen them. In all their glory. The twinkling brilliant points in the endless bluish-black night sky. And the clouds meandering through resulting in a heavenly game of hide-and-seek. Lying on your back, looking up at the sky, friends by your side, star gazing.I tell you, you dont need no booze to get high. The very sight of the star-studded night can do that.Believe you me.

And as we lay on the top of the mess, between the 3rd and 4th wings, we started describing what we could make out of the ambling clouds. There were dragons, elephants and fighting men amongst other things. Sketches on the vast expanse of space.

And time passed by ...

Suddenly we saw what we thought was either a meteorite or a falling satellite. Being the optimistic souls that we are, we decided to consider the third option ie it was a shooting star.(It was going too fast to be one but hey who's stopping us from imagining what we want to imagine?). And then we all wished on the shooting star. And then for some time, silence.Not the unnerving kind. More the serene and comfortable kind.

There are some places which makes you feel calm irrespective of the mood you're in and the troubles you're facing. For each their own. Their place of solace. Their place of tranquility. For me it is probably the balcony which is the top of our mess. In the night. And a clear sky.

(takes a deep breath and clears his head)

Saw the movies Almost famous and Closer. Almost famous was very entertaining because like any good film there was a character we want to be and (probably more importantly) a person we'd like to love (Kate Hudson ;) ). Rather late to be seeing the film, but then there are so many movies and only one of me. :) .

Closer was well, different. Excellent but different. There were certain elements of that film which made it so good that I have to say this is a must-see. The story involved but four characters (Natalie Portman :drools: ) and can best be described as a controversial one in a conservative society as ours but one which will gel well with us younger generation crowd.( Such a vivid description without revealing any part of the story. *phew*. ) And the song. The song. "Blower's Daugther" by Damien Rice is hardly an impressive name. But ever since I saw the movie and heard the song, I havent listened to anything else. (These short addictive bouts are getting to be annoying. But til it lasts, you just have to listen to that one song.)

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new


Listen to the song. Though I guess you have to see the movie to really connect with the song.And I reiterate : must-see.

Surreal

Magnificent are the thundering antlers of the mysterious stag Oats and barley, golden fields, invigorating too Rare be such beauty, admire, that man dares to Ere you speak, take time to read every letter, every word Lest jest sometimes makes peacocks of a macaw Even maelstrom or tempest occasionally looks lo Fruits no longer edible directly; what are they best for To eat or excite, to feel or delight?! ok “Leave! Now! “, I bellowed at the gorgeous blonde in front of me, as I forced her into a taxi. She looked at me with large innocent brown eyes, searching for some semblance of pardon, love or even hope. She had been forgiven. I think. But I had never loved her. I think. And there was no hope for her. I think. “Your mouth speaks a language unintelligible to your heart. You don’t actually want me to leave, do you?” she questioned, raising her eyebrows and smirking simultaneously. I sneered. “I don’t care for you; I never did. I just used you. Like everyone else”, I lied. She could ...

Hey, I lost a week somewhere

So I was thinking about how wonderful it would be if life was but a Hollywood film and everyone had his heroine, all beautiful,smart, in a high-paying job, ready to risk everthing for the hero (who is you) and most importantly will end up with you whatever natural disaster, unnatural disaster, animal, monster, robot, Brad Pitt, through anything basically. Yes, that would be a good life. It would be... %Reality check% In the form of a somewhat recognisable voice from behind your chair, for all the above reflection was done in the privacy and the comfort of my chair , listening to the host of songs that the Considerate One, Goda charitably sent to the Unfortunate Ones (Thota and me) after much persuation... Mentor : Umm, can you write out a mail about what all you've done in the past two weeks. Me: oh. ok. (pause) Can I mention I was installing software? Mentor : (Slightly taken aback) Please dont. okay one line maybe. Me: hmm. ok. So then I realised, I have almost finished two wee...

Goal

The ball was finally with me. I steadied myself as I looked up to see the goalpost. Half the field away. And with three defenders dieing to charge at me. I put the ball forward and thought to myself, “This is your chance. Your opportunity to prove yourself. To the world around you. To everyone. To her.” I dribbled past the first, then a swift movement past the second, faked a shot and beat the third. It was me and the goalie. One on one. What seemed like eternity then, happened in a split-second. I saw the anxious goalie unsure of whether or not to make a run out of his spot on the white line. I made up my mind, took aim and shot… Finally, his dreams were coming true. Here was a friend, who in spite of being the most talented person I have ever met, had surrendered his dreams and settled on more pragmatic ambitions. Goals that needed their dedication and diligence no doubt, but were mere asteroids in the galactic possibilities that entailed as a result of his enviable skills. Goal...
