Favourite lyrics (english)
Posted on June 17th, 2006 at 2:06 pm by tt

I got nothing to write right now….. Well that statement is not exactly true… come to think of it… It is in fact entirely totally fully completely wholly and all together untrue.

Come to think of it, no matter how you interpret it, it still has no grain of truth in it. I have so much to write about. Well the fact of the matter is I have too much to write about…. But you know me. Well if you don’t then you will soon come to know of it.

There is one thing about me that’s extremely constant. I am a very very very alchie person. Procrastination does not come second nature to me. It is probably the only nature that comes to me. That and taunting, teasing and “critically acclaiming” and doing things that irritate people and want them want to trample me.

People say I have too much Virgo cusp in my Libra perfectionism. That, my friends, foes and those who I don’t care about, is a very lethal combination. It’s like mixing Beer and Vodka. Hope my parents or relatives aren’t reading this. But I will not tell you how I found out how lethal that cocktail is. Some other time I promise. Knowing me I probably will never get to keeping that promise. Not because I don’t keep promises. I always keep my promises (except one that I made to my ex). I just get to keeping them very very late.

Getting back to the nearest point that I was making ( before I get to the one I made before that and the one before that and then on to a few others before I get to what I had started out to write on):

Hey what was I talkin about. Let me not scroll up and think. I am also known to exhibit signs of temporary insanity… I mean memory loss (well I do know what I was typing… juz making it interesting … ha hahaha….do I hear someone think . . . Boooorrrrrrriiiinnnnnn?). Some people say both. But insane is any one who is not like you. And that includes everyone. Oh yea… The lethal combination.

It’s quite short. I said people say I got too much Virgo cusp in my Libra perfectionism. That means I take the art of “critical acclaiming” to a whole big perfectionist level. I try to be a perfect BI**H (male one of course and that don’t mean a dog) You get what I mean right? No then go to Universal Language or British Council. Oh they don’t teach you that kinda non-propah language now do they? Oh just go watch a couple of angreji movies. Or do some sangat with me.

Now to the point before that…procrastination n alchiness That point is relevant to the one before that … Yeap I got a lot to write but those two factors, which combine to make each other complete, prevent me from writing all that. So write now I actually started out having nothing to write about. (And in the Sienfeld style) NOTHING? NNOOOOThing .(if you haven’t watched that show then you stress the N, with your tongue behind the upper teeth, your teeth, and give a funny face ) ….. around more than a few hundred words about nothing? Yeap…that’s just what I am about. And what this blog, and most of what I write here, is about.

Now why am I writing this? What’s the point? Nothing… But if Sienfeld {viewed by an estimated at 76 million viewers}made the Guinness Book of World Records on two counts both of which dealt with how much money it made, then maybe I wont have to pay people or use coercion to read this of word by word. (Jerry Seinfeld holds both the record for the “most money refused” according to the Guinness Book of World Records by refusing an offer to continue the show for $5 million per episode, and another record for the Highest Ever Annual Earnings For A TV Actor, while the show itself held the record for the Highest Television Advertising Rates through 2004, when the final episode of Friends aired.) Someday!

Now finally to what I started out to write… two of my favorite lyrics. Lyrics on everything discribing every time, feeling and situation has already been written in every way possible. That’s why remixes came into being. So all I get to do is copy paste them.
Well I have a lot like comfortably numb, solitaire and all.. But these two are the most relevant to my time n situation.

Well Satriani’s Rubina and Rubina’s Blue Sky of Happiness are also relevant but they don’t have any lyrics. Plus I won’t be telling why they are relevant for a very long long time.. if I ever do. I believe a lot in fate and those two songs prove that… But wait a couple of years for that story….

Here goes :

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Traveled by many, remembered by few
Looking for something that I can believe in
Looking for something that I’d like to do - with my life
There’s nothing behind me and nothing that ties me to
Something that might have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more than enough
To just be here today,

And I don’t know what the future is holding in store
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m not sure where I’ve been
There’s a spirit that guides me
A light that shines for me
My life is worth the living
I don’t need to see the end
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air
Sweet, sweet surrender
Live, live without care
Like a fish in the water
Like a bird in the air.

(Words n music by John Denver)
Funny on how his life was “worth the living” and he “didn’t need to see the end”

Saaad! The initial parts of this, I have been singing since I was 9 or 10. It was the opening song in The Bears and I, which I first saw in 1986 or 89 or 90, I can’t remember exactly. Until around 2002/3 I could not understand it said TRAVELLED by many… boy how many attempts did I make to decipher it… This song always holds true for everyone. Everyone is searching all the time. Me… I am always in search… I never actually have found my calling…. Since ‘87 and The Empire Strikes Back, I have been scrawling spacecrafts and airplanes and submarines and missiles. Not that my sketching has got any better. I wanted to be a designer… airplane and spaceship designer… Aerospace engineer to be more technically accurate. Then I quit science and did not have any thing to search… I mean no view in front. Go check what I wrote in AIM: in my Campion Academy magazine… something to the effect of I did not know and that Sky was never the limit as there’s more above it than below.. (Note: Just as you find a lot of Superman references in Sienfeld you will probably find more space references)

I am a dreamer…in a lot different way than John Lennon meant it.

I think I have actually wanted to be a writer…. and I am writing now …so Hey I am a writer.. yea yea hurrah hurrah.. I have fulfilled my goals. ha ha ha ha I have always been imaginative and love fantasizing… in every meaning of the word ehe hehe … After my quitting science (which I did mostly because I was alchie again) and after that prolonged period of having no aim (except getting laid ehehe) I somehow became a “journalist” then got my coordinator thing in CityPost.Then my aim survival then restart 4 pages and lastly expansion and eight/16 / 32 pages daily?

Now that’s all gone so see how relevant that song is. The next set of lyrics, which I have had in my hi5 for quite some time now, has gotten even more relevant to my current situation. It’s called Crossroads, by Don McLean…

I’ve got nothing on my mind:
Nothing to remember,
Nothing to forget.
And I’ve got nothing to regret,
But I’m all tied up on the inside,
No one knows quite what I’ve got;
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be, I’m not anymore.
You know I’ve heard about people like me,
But I never made the connection.
They walk one road to set them free
And find they’ve gone the wrong direction.
But there’s no need for turning back
`cause all roads lead to where I stand.
And I believe I’ll walk them all
No matter what I may have planned.
Can you remember who I was? can you still feel it?
Can you find my pain? can you heal it?
Then lay your hands upon me now
And cast this darkness from my soul.
You alone can light my way.
You alone can make me whole once again
We’ve walked both sides of every street
Through all kinds of windy weather.
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together.
So there’s no need for turning back
`cause all roads lead to where we stand.
And I believe we’ll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned.

More on the relevancy issue of this one some other time. This one’s too long already… especially since I have nothing to write about.

man tapas you surely have a lot to say. you started off with as simple a topic as your fav lyrics and ended up talking about everything under the sun and in the other universe as well. dude control don’t go all kantipur on the blog. see now you got me talking about other things rather than what i was going to write.
ok i could a lot of good things about it so that ppl reading this would think i am a reallynice and sweet (which i am) but i’ll tell you the truth. it was LONG and very typical of you i kind of lost track of what you were trying to say at places.

hello, site is cool.

Comment by alice — September 28, 2006 @ 10:03 am


Umm..I’m kind of lost in this whole creepy blog world. Especially with your oh-so-scary picture up there. I read all this on Monday. What a productive thing to do on a day off! So anyway, like I told you, I found some parts genuinely funny(Jerry Seinfeld kind of funny, now that’s a big compliment), parts of it went right over my head and an itsy bitsy part was unlike you. The depression thing I mean. Seriously, you look anything but depressed to me. I don’t know.

Okay, I think I’m being a bit too generous with somebody who has NEVER been nice to me. I really enjoyed reading all of it, though. I grudgingly admit it. Hmph.
