Joe Bonamassa - Stop!

Despicable Me - Mini-Movie 'Banana' Preview

So Much Time == So Less Time

As I lived the first official day of my second attempt at the entrepreneur journey, ironically it has given me time to reflect instead of taking it way.  The only difference I find is time flies faster than expected but I could independently choose what to do with the limited number of hours available. I get the feeling I have been unable to create enough but at the same time concentrate on lifestyle which is considered to be good like working on physical standing, reading for  intellectual and creative thinking and to spend cherish-able time with friends and family - idea-ting, discussing, enjoying. The same kind of freedom was somehow absent from my day to day life reclaiming which gives so much amount of good vibes is something which was being underplayed considerably by me. The conversion of so called work into daily fun is something unexpected but hoped and seeing it materialize into that is amazing. Hopefully these so called positive outlook remains so and keeps on increasing forever and ever. Suddenly I feel that this journey is highly recommendable and hopefully more people shall be able to experience it.

Freedom = Bill Payments

Day after day as my thoughts evolve in the world of start ups I wonder I have heard so many great ideas by so many interesting people why they never managed to hit the floor. Besides the characteristics of an entrepreneur which probably gets applied world wide, India suffers from one peculiar or not so peculiar problem. The problem of getting my bills paid. As the sea of innovative thinkers come from a background having a tricky concept of financial stability, most of us are just too afraid as the problem of bills is too tricky a problem to tackle as and when innovative thoughts kick in. Would it be easier had this problem not existed I don't know as contrarily most innovative thinking comes during time of downturns. This kind oof a push and pull is baffling but only if Bill Payment was taken care of, the freedom which most seek and because of which most gets delayed, would have been obtained, and probably then Indian start up space would have been a lot different

Be A Hoarder

Haven't  we met so many people who have the habit of collecting. These are called collectors, a likeable terminology which makes them interesting. Closer home the mostly likely collector would be your MOM. Hoarding things throughout a lifetime and she always has something handy which is available in times of creativity and need. The critique mind would say that what is the use of hoarding especially during times when living light has become a fad. Now a connection with those waves of thought has been established. Reminiscing I rue the fact that I have like so many others missed out on a golden opportunity of keeping plethora of knowledge at ones own fingertip. Years of knowledge gained and tool written after doing research for so many  hours gets lost amidst the overdose of everything around us. Would it not be nicer if we had learnt to hoard such knowledge in a place where it was easily accessible for reference . Nothing which is an IP but something which is open but still requires to be learnt. Especially during the times of BLOGS and GITS of the world, it would have been the apple which would kept us from the same effort of recall in the lifetime.

Paperwork - The Potential Opportunity

For some random reason human beings have created a psychotic obsessive fascination on paperwork. Since machines are an offshoot human imagination, it has also been well taught to generate more and more data. Was the ability to pass on stories orally an art form lost amidst the fear of losing historical civilisations. The tendency not to learn from others mistake is as natural as the animal instinct of territorial ism and fornication. We as a race have obsessed ourselves to perfection in curbing instinctive reaction with the release morphed into acceptable definition. Control is a seductive power driven us to blindness disregarding the basic essence of freedom. And all of these results in what , but of course, more and more data, more and more paperwork. Strangely all of them is an offshoot of some basic definitive tautology presented in a complicated form. Wouldn't  it be nice to have automated the very notion in order to box ourself in a very basic instinct of laziness.

Health - A Lurking Time Bomb

Some thing’s which one use to do or some activities performed regularly gets lost over a period of time. The general explanation to this phenomenon lies in the defeatist notion called time. As one becomes more worldly the Venn Diagram of available time becomes more and more complex with each passing day. The habits picked along with adulthood starts replacing the ones which contributed positively. The erroneous judgement was to give up the good old in place of the new. Is it because we being Indian generally has a tendency to over inculcate things. Nevertheless the realisation has woken me from the notion of procrastination and made me realise how much discomfort I have now with my current physical structure. With the current hopeless positive dust, the work on this highly abused structure has to be rejuvenated. Otherwise where would a healthy mind would reside if it does not get a compatible structure as its home.

TO START or NOT TO START

TO START or NOT TO START

Never been an easy desire to commit upon. 

Among so many multitudes of people moving in this direction LIFE has again brought me onto the crossroads where my desire of independence is in direct conflict with the fear of failure. A choice in my younger days was much easier to make with fearlessness. A failure which was much easier to digest that what it would be today. An earned personal life at risk with so many responsibilities to be overlooked, and an added responsibility of expectation. To the people who know me professionally it will always puzzle them why I haven't undertaken the journey much earlier. What is to be gained and what is to be lost. What do I want or do not want. Or shall I be more clichéd by echoing the sentiments of every human soul at some time or the other "What is the purpose of my Life?". An answer to which is highly unlikely to come to us in a dramatic theatrical moment. Like so many other things , it is to be defined by ones own personal desire and the daring act of jumping into its imagination. So many question and so many conflicts with the glaring reality of the daily bread. Which side will I ultimately fall is the answer to be sought.

Codernity DB

Another NOSQL kid on the block

S3 / Linux

Here are the instructions to use s3cmd tool to access and upload data to your bucket on Amazon S3:

·         Download s3cmd from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/1.0.1/s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz/download

·         Uncompress the file using the cmd: tar zxf s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz

·         Go inside the directory: cd s3cmd-1.0.1

·         First time configure it: ./s3cmd –configure

o   Supply the values: access key, secret key
s3cmd mb s3://my-new-bucket-name (To Create Bucket)

·         Run the command to list the contents of your bucket: ./s3cmd ls s3://yourbucket

·         Put (write/deposit) a file as; ./s3cmd put <localfilename> s3://yourbucket/<remote-folder-optional>/<remote-file-name>

·         Make sure there are no additional ‘/’ – because the S3 does not optimize them to single one.

GIft YourSelf A Road Mishap

Here is the ALGORITHM for getting yourself a perfect GIFT.

1) Pick out a beautiful Day for a ride. When the weather is perfect with a little rain before

2) It helps if you pick out a day after the night when you had a fight with your affable ones. (You can blame them or get enlightened of your mistake)

3) Pick out the day which is officially a holiday

4) In spite of the day being a holiday choose your destination as your office.

5) Enjoy the ride towards your office and try to filter away your negativity.

6) That's it, let the COSMOS do the rest.

:)

Not possible

Here is what will Happen

7) For a change you will enjoy the weather.

8) For a change you shall cruise

9) For a change you shall not find any traffic

10) Then you will have to halt for some bugger in front of you finds the need to do so.

11) Rest leave it to the people on your behind to not find the need to do the same

12) Now enjoy the beautiful feeling of kissing the tar.

13) Enjoy even more the feeling of nakedness of being in a tee and jeans realising the one who desired to ride over you is well dressed with jacket and gloves .

14) Enjoy the fact the day is cooler than the rest, hence intensity is more than usual.

SO ENJOY and GIFT Yourself Something Different today

Hadoop 0.21, Pig 0.7, Hive 0.4.1, Sqoop 1.10, Hadoop-LZO, Elephant-Bird

Strangely but truly a lot of time has gone by when the last official hadoop release was made.

Unfortunately Hadoop 0.21 never became an official release but a release candidate was made by Tom White and co.

Felt happy to hack my way through along with a friend to make various software work with Hadoop 0.21

1) Hive 0.4.1
https://github.com/hirohanin/hive0.4.1hadoop21

2) Sqoop 1.1.0
https://github.com/hirohanin/sqoop-1.1.0hadoop21

3) Hadoop-LZO
https://github.com/hirohanin/hadoop-lzo-hadoop21

4) Elephant Bird
https://github.com/hirohanin/elephant-birdpig7hadoop21

5) Pig 0.7

Disclaimer: The software are unofficial and unsupported, unless some one gives a better reason to do so.

Apache Tika

I was amazed with the kind of extraction facility has been made available in open source world. Apache Tika has has gone a long way to help developers come with better crawlers. I was happy to use it in a project

HADOOP+PIG+HIVE

Its been fun working on humongous data with an abstraction created by the realm of different projects under hadoop. PIG, HIVE being the query language which provides even better idiots layers on top it. Aspects of keeping a cluster running, with managing data sizes with various compression initially driven by LZO (elephant-bird) drifting towards block compression. Making ones life easier by using scheduler like Azkaban. Humongous data and heavy loading, thats the way to go

Murder + Capistrano

Deployments are one painful task in any production environment and it shows its ugly face in a resource heavy environment. PUPPET for OS centric deb/config could be useful. Recently got a chance to use a combo of capistrano and murder. Murder is a beautiful concept of torrent inspired production deploy and capistrano brings in the feature of other abstracted functionalities.

In the end I wonder why so many deployment tools is in RUBY or support a tool written in ruby by providing a gem of itself

Ant , Maven, Ivy

Moving from the trustworthy ant to abstracted maven. The only thing I realised, unless applied company wide maven becomes hard although its usp is well established. Time to dibble with ivy for it promises a lot with transitive dependencies.

One interesting realisation in maven that one can fake the repo if you have a local set of jars in your machine (for the jars not present in repo)

<dependency>
      <groupid>...</groupid>
      <artifactid>....</artifactid>
      <version>...</version>
      <scope>system</scope>
      <systempath>/absolute path to lib/XXX.jar</systempath>
</dependency>

And I am inclining more and more towards a combo of ant + ivy. In my view and use case and even generally it seems most promising.

JAVACC

As it turns out, I finally get to use it in a system. Not bad at all

The Game : Neil Strauss

I have no clue what to make out of this book. Except it formed an easy read, probably very engrossing for it dwells in common insecurities and desires.

BOAT

Some say heart is just like a wheel..
If It is so..
Then at the moment its spinning aimlessly..
Dangerously rocking the boat of my life..
Get hold of it my gravest and trustworthy captain..
Before it sinks into the oblivion of the deep blue sea..

A Moment

Strange are the ways of human thoughts..
Stranger are the illusion it creates..
The unanswered calls which puts me down..
Sometimes uplifts me with strangest hope..
Only for a moment..
But its a moment when the clock stops ticking..
The seconds between two consecutive rings..
My heart stops beating..
Where my mind tells me you picked up the call..
Ecstatic is what I am..
Happiness takes over me..
Only for a moment, If for a moment.

Only if Known was a Known

Waiting for months for a response..
Its hard to remain in a stoic pose..
Empty thoughts and empty response..
Leads one to misleading unknowns..
Never knew my wrong were so wrong..
Only if I knew the doer that doeth..
Only if the knowledge was profound...
The blindness which overwhelms..
Darkness that over cometh..
Makes the default at every moment..
Make'th the heart default with every action..
Only if the known was a KNOWN..

Where ??

My eyes seek you..
My Mind seeks you..
My soul seeks you..
I am so much over the edge..
Where are you..
Why do you run..
Why don't you communicate..

Past

Our paths diverge..
Only to converge..
In time..
Belonging to future..
But why we have to spoil..
That present which could be beautiful..
Why are we creating a past to forget..

Miss

Miss my Language..
Miss my expression..
Miss my ideology..
Miss my patience..
Miss myself..
Miss you..
Miss the one who understood..

Every Call

Every call of my liking..
Every effort on my part..
Is the reach out with honesty..
O my beautiful one..
O my complex one..
Smile on this crazy one..

Sky Clouds

The sky clouds..
Pours out rain in leaps and bounds..
Calling out in unison..
To play a game forlorn..
The beauty of you..
The beauty abound..
Come on angel for the calling is profound..

Silent..

Silent cries..
Silent echoes..
Silent communication...
Silence for the meek..
Silence for the powerful...
Silent revenge..
Silent infliction...
In the silence...
I move...
To the silent oblivion..
To the depths of silence...
A silent cry...
with the silent echoes..

Musical Psycho

The musical Psycho is driven..
Driven to the point of obsession..
What's the point..
What's it worth..
Only catalysing to self destruction..
What shall he get for his persistence when his heart is blackened..
Either ways he stand to loose..
She had the choice to make it not so difficult..
She says no hang ups no troubles..
Then why the mountain of every reaction..
She wanted normal then why doesn't she act so..
He is troubled, he is to lose either ways..
What is he getting for his liking..
Or she simply doesn't care

Loving HUG

Chillness of the air..
Frostiness all around..
A ray of the sun ..
Creates hope abound..
Warmth of a loving hug..
Changes the world around..

Cool Wind Blows

When the cool wind blows..
N the music flows..
Do not lay low..
For they call out to you..
They call out for your glow..
Let all your doubts go..
N come out with an arrow and bow..
To play like a murmuring brook on the flow.

Shining Sun

The shining sun..
The cloudy skies..
Sometimes its happiness..
Sometimes you are sad..
With the desire for a move..
To put oneself in groove..
One thing is to remember..
Is not to keep thy joy under the hood..

Its ok

Its good that you were on phone..
Now at least I know that you are there..
But my pings are just too irritable to bear..
Its ok to not see an invisible man..
Just was troubled when I turned blind too..
Your silhouette itself has enough beauty..
Having the power to light up and pleasure

BirthDay

A day to remember..

A day to cherish..
A day to rejoice..
For today was the day..
When a beautiful being got created..
A person who would bring joy to so many..
A being with whom every moment is different..
Every moment is an adventure..
Come to me my lady..
For today I want to be a part which gives you the joy back..
Come and stay for you shall have the time of your life..
Come and lets run away from the things which bothers you just for the day..
For you deserved to be pampered in every way..
Happy Birth Day..

In Doubt

Whenever you feel down..
Whenever you feel not right..
Remember I will always be there..
As a keen listener..
To whom you can pour out everything..
For I want you to come to me when you want to smile..
Come to me to feel glad..
I know you get angry of late to whatever I may say..
The simple words of mine may not always have you sway..
But a clear heart seeks pleasure..
Awaits for you to not feel bad ..
Await for you to talk and speak for it is not wrong..
Await for your hug of innocence..
Await your kisses of warmth..
But I will not ask till you get alright..
Till your head gets untangled..
But with only hope that you stop resisting me so hard..

Aye Oh Angel

Aye oh angel..
I am just a human..
Who just praises and likes in his own way..
If there is a reason to make you snap
Just tell me..
If not dont be so harsh..
For I fear no one..
I do things out of my likeness..
Some day you may go away..
But the time although short I wish to spend with gladness in my heart..
Do not stop me from being happy..
N you know u r happy too, if u let the wind blow..
So come and sing..
A peaceful melody..
A symphony to which we can look back and say it is good..

To Help You Tow

When You feel low..
You will find my shoulder to help you tow..
When you want to talk..
You will find a friend who garrulously listens..
When you are happy..
Look behind you will see me glad..
When you feel like loving..
A simple me will gratefully love back..
For in me you will find what you want..
The rhythm created is due to the chords played..
A friend, a lover, a mate, a partner, a father, a son, or just a crazy stupid fool..
I am all yours my lady..
For my likeness is clear and unconsciousness unblemished..

I dunno

I dunno what happened..
I dunno what to conclude..
Since its you and me ..
And no one else..
I have Faith which is strong..
And U need proof..
I will await my dear lady..
For I am here..
I shall await for you to clear your head..
I shall await the day when you don't consider me wrong..
I will fight for you with enemies unknown..
For I like you with the childishness of heart..
Stop considering me wrong, just try it for a day..
And you will see the peace abound

Thirty Seconds

Thirty Seconds is all I get of late..
But that's how is fate..
The beauty of the angelic demeanour..
They can Create garden out of simple gestures..
O my lovely lady..
You make me glad by your complex simplicity..

For I know

With Sleep of peace..
Dawn of a new day..
Should start you with a smile..
Beware of the council you take..
For there are plenty who are divisive..
And smile at the useless fool out here..
Why waste so much of energy to be angry at me..
For the reason unknown to me..
But be true to yourself and not the world..
For I will be the pleasant wind always carrying you to the unknown..
I trust you ..
Although I prefer a known hand..
But do you trust me enough is the question..
N no one can diminish the likeness of my heart..
All the effort is in vain..
For I know what is right..
I know what is good..
Trust me my lady..
Fly with me to the unknowns..

Thank You

Thank You will never be enough..
For what you did..
So much of trouble you took..
For a guy like me..
Just to see you there..
Just to hold you while we theoretically slept..
Was more than I could have asked..
And I know now..
That I can never or will ever match the thing you did for me...
I like you my dear from the core of my heart..

Seek His Well

I don't know how..
But You Do..
Then I realised..
A man who thirst..
Has to seek his well..
In the desert of worldliness..
You are a life giver.

Shrub

You are my shrub..
And I am the gardener..
The relationship is strange..
For the shrub in its own way grows and play..
And the gardener feels the joy..
By feeding thou with waters of his ode..
Brings the peace which is abound..
You are the shrub which tells that their is something right in this world..

Come

Come to me my lovely lady..
Come to me and sit down..
Relax and converse..
For I may be a mess..
But I assure that each moment will be a special one..
Each moment will the one with passion..
Come fall with me in the hour unknown..
Come for you should know better..
Come for you know that I would never do a thing which you do not like..
Come let me wrap you around for the warmth..
Come and lets snuggle in affection..
Come lets play for joy..
Come and let us not bother..
Come and lets not weighed down by time and world..
Come my lovely lady..
Oh come..

Praises

Praises to your way..
I sing glory to your way..
Young in spirit..
Aged in wise-ness..
Unblemished in beauty..
What a joy is to share the cup of thy supper..

Pleasant Flute

A night cold..
Requiring warmth to keep you under fold..
A morning promisingly refreshing..
Giving desires a halo of serenity..
Your beauty, your soul is what I drank in sleep..
A pleasurable aroma for me to keep..
I wonder in gratitude..
That God made you to be a pleasant flute..

I Am A

For I am crazy..
For time after time I have paid my dues..
Did my sentence but committed no crime..
Have my share of sand kicked on my face, I have come through..
For I am a poet who will always romance..
A slack I may need..
A chance is what I deserve..
For u bring me fame and fortune and everything with it..
For you are the treasure of happiness worth seeking..
It wont be a bed of roses or a pleasure cruise..
A challenge to allow oneself smile a genuine smile..
A joy worth giving everything for..

Magical Moment

An action which is something different..
Something which a man would lay his life for..
For when your lips open up..
And you draw closer..
The warmth of your breath..
And the aroma of yourself..
All come together to create a magical moment..
A moment to cherish..
A moment of joy..

Running Amok

Awake in the morning ..
And the thoughts are running amok..
Itching to get the day done..
For you have so much to offload..
Don't let it make you miserable..
And let your calm and meaningful demeanour take over..
For you are the one with white and beautiful robe..
And it will let you shine through..

In Praise

Hopefully this will reach..
When the invisibility does not get breached..
This is just an ode..
In praise of the angel abode..
For when one looks into your loveliness..
Cannot remain untouched by thy engrained holiness..

Rains

When it rains..
Its a song of unison in play..
It thunders not to scare..
But is an introduction of something special to be displayed..
Seeing it from my balcony day after day..
All I can say..
I miss you girl in this rain..

Cold Breeze Blows

When the cold breeze blows..
Freshness of novelty flows..
Do not be perturbed by the insignificant blows..
But look at the possibilities which grows..
And what a joy it would be..
To have you in arms and let thy warmth glow..

Bubble

What happened..
O My Lovely Lady..
Don't be so troubled..
For this is a time to create a bubble..
A bubble of hope..
A bubble for the future..
So relax and call me..
For in me you shall find an honest listener..

Just Like That

A thousand different smile thy possess..
They can light up your life..
They can make you laugh just like that..
They can make you cry just like that..
They unguard you just like that..
Amazing , isn't it ..

From My Slumber

Strangest of Strangest dream I had yesterday...
You were calling out to me..
And it was so...so loud and clear..
That it was more than a reality..
Only angels can move me away from my slumber...
N thou are definitely the angel living in this world..

Blue Robin

The Blue Robin in the tree..
Sings the song which is in nature free..
Irrespective whether its cold or bearing the heat..
It Sings..
It sings just the same as your ever emancipating beauty sings..

Simple Song

Every Simple Song I write to you..
If for a moment it takes your breath away..
Then I write it all..
Till I have no more creativity to call..
So as to promise you..
That the world would never be the same..
Because of the beautiful and wise you and a crazy me..

A Chance

Give me a chance O mighty angel..
Is it something so hard to give..
Have I fallen so much..
That I cannot be redeemed..
Wont you...
Wont you..
To a person who desires to make it better..

Reckless

I have been wrong..
I have been reckless..
But never meant to do something..
To make you feel so bad..
Sometimes I am unable to convey..
The things I want to say..
In my writings I falter..
Thats why I am amateurish..
But do not doubt my intention..
For I always want to make you smile..
Forgive my dear..
Forgive the stupidity of mine..
For you are the person who can..
For you have always been the good one in my life...

Creatively Blink

The drive to wake up every morning..
To creatively blink..
And pen it down..
Into child like songs..
Comes from none other ..
But you My Dear..
For you make me see horizons..
Unknown to me..
Oh What a blessing you have been..

Paths so Fuzzy

Wondering where we are heading..
With paths so fuzzy..
And Destination unknowns..
But sometimes we got to believe..
To see..
Sometimes we just got to trust..
N oh u beautiful maiden..
Somehow I believe because of your presence..

Shower

Yesterday was one of the strangest realization..
Not many has people to shower their affection to..
And by sheer divine conspiracy..
I have you..
To share my ability of loving..
In my own crazy way..
With you, With an angel personified..

Dreams

The times are nearer..
When we dream not while we are asleep..
But have dreams which does not let us sleep..
When it starts happening..
We know for sure we are on the right track...
We together shall overcome ...
And win many a battle..

Seek

People seek nirvana..
If there is such a thing..
Then I know where to seek..
It is The aroma of thy essence..
So compelling..
So intoxicating..
So Pure..
So heavenly..
So joyful..
So trance like..
I thank God for He gave such a blessing in your mortal form..

To Move Ahead

Desire to move ahead..
Brings a mix of emotion to us..
But patience is what we need..
With constant work..
And thy will stand out..
When amidst the commotion..
Thy will keep the cool..

New Beginning

A new beginning beckons..
At the pedestal..
There are doubts, insecurities and unknowns..
But my dear the journey in faith..
Draws strength from each other presence..
With sincerity in the heart..
And belief in each other..
We will create the world as we want it be..
Just have faith..

Ghost

Bury the ghost..
Which belong to the past..
For the ghost is invisible..
Restricting only because it interferes with your thoughts..
Look at the possibility..
Free your mind..
For present and the future..
Calls out to you with open arms..

Destination

To reach a destination which is far..
A step a time is what is required..
For each step will bring you closer..
To the end which is pleasurable..
Strength is what you will need..
To undertake the path chosen..
And you will find ..
A person always at your beside..
Holding your hand...
And merrily going through the journey all along..

A Myth

The edge which you find yourself in...
Is a myth created by so much commotion..
Have faith in the voice inside..
Take a fall and you will find..
That the ground was just a feet away..
With a crazy bard standing there..
His arms open for the embrace..

Regina Skeptor - Braille

Its not that I have not heard this song before. But suddenly when it came up in my play list today, I was compelled to think about it. The lines "I'm still an ass hole...." compels me to write about it. Straight from the person who has become too habituated to, and suffering from the "Ones Head In Ones Own Ass" disease.

YouTube Link

She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
So she names the baby Elvis
To make up for the royalty he lacked

And from then on it was turpentine and patches
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play

And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
And she knew they were destined to become
Sacred road kill on the way
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes

Cause it's been turpentine and patches
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play

Elvis never could carry a tune
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
Saying why don't I begin again
With turpentine and patches
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
It's just that he's not around to play along
I'm still an ass hole playing with candles
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
What's written in Braille upon my skin...

Makes me Smile

Funny is what you have been..
Makes me smile whenever I think some reasons you give..
An angel personified..
Have the power of smile..
Which gives everyone the joy..
I miss you girl..
N I hope you miss me too..

Stabilo - Middle of the Night

At my usual time at home which is always comparatively different from everybody else, this song soothed my soul with a strange peace and an even stranger serenity.

YouTube Link

Friendly faces, welcome almost any day.
Light up a smile and realize it's not too late to change your mind.
Take a train, swing from a threat, mother natures muddy water rolls right off my head.
Mr. Mystery passes by and says, "Son I'm glad you're still alive today."
So am I, why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway. Why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway?

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

So you say that you do not know me.
I do not know myself.
What I am or who I'll be, so don't try to make sense of me.
So you say that you do not love me, I do not love myself.
I never wanted to be the one tying you down, but I really do hope that you are happy now.

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me

I want to be here forever,
I want to be young forever.
Lets dance the sky together on another day.
If you go and you just don't see,
I want to be you and you want to be me,
Come on everybody and dance with me.

Climbing mountaintops,
I had a thing for you.
Your enchanting smile and your eyes are cool.
You would fall behind,
I would wait for you.
Everybody's gone ahead,
I just smile and shake my head.
You don't know who you are,
You will never know. You will never know.

If you go and you just don't see,
I want to be you and you want to be me,
Come on everybody and dance with me

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

Matchbox 20 - If You're Gone

On a Tuesday Morning, like any other morning I woke up to this recommendation for me by YouTube. A welcome surprise if ones thought suddenly appear amidst the clouds of nothingness in the form which probably is the only thing which still keeps me human. A awesomely amazing presentation of a beautifully worded song.

YouTube Link

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Billy Joel : River of Dreams

Strange thoughts float around me when I am mostly useless everywhere. Depressing howsoever it may be, suddenly from somewhere a flicker of desperate hope and joy makes me drift towards the music making the feet of my mind tap to the tune. Savoring that small moment with meaningful words and hopeful dreams.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Three beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' through the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Chris Daughtry : What About Now

Was listening to Danyl Johnson first audition in X factor. This song came at the end and was impressed, only to dig deeper to find it even more impressive. Meaningful and powerful lyrics in context of the video and equally beautiful without the context. Some of the other versions of the song are equally joyous.

YouTube Link

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

A Song which Misses

Don't know how much censorship should I apply..
Presuming I need not..
I wrote this ode..
As a poet who has a song which misses..
The beauty of thy presence..
The heightened sense of freedom in thy spirit..

Danyl Johnson - And I am telling you I'm not going - Jennifer Holliday

Hats off to Danyl Johnson for making this song his own. Amazing song and amazing performance. This guys pulls it off week after week in x factor 2009.

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No no no, no way
No no no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't want to be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, you're gonna love me
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we have so much to share
No no no, no no no
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there
Darling, there's no way,
No no no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see, there's just no way
There's no way

Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout
And you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever ever go
No no no, no way
No no no, no way I'm living without you
Oh, I'm not living without you,
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me
Ohhh, hey hey, you're gonna love me,
Yes, ah ooh ooh, love me,
Ooh-ooh-ooh, love me

Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love me

Amateurishness

Wondering how much does my ode has any effect..
Chuckle at the level of amateurishness of my writing..
Still I carry on...
Wishing the serenity..
To the hard work you do everyday..
Oblivious to your physical requirement.
Eat well..

I ask Again

Yesterday when I asked ..
I did not know why..
But have to ask you again..
With the right reason in my mind..
Although your answer may remain the same..
But I need to tell what is in my mind..
The past we have with each other..
We had good times as well as times of trial..
We are two different people..
Following different paths in professional life..
But deep inside we know the paths do converge..
Deep down inside we are the same..
Wanting the same thing..
The paths which converge..
Creates a love song by a love struck singer..
A divine poem by a innocent poet..
The greatest artwork existing in life..
In the journey we have undertaken..
We will meet plenty of good people as well as bad..
But I will be happy for you for meeting the good..
And share your sorrow of the bad..
For the place you want to be..
I will always be there, to be with you..
Giving you the support required..
If none then I will just be there at your beside..
So that you look behind and see me and realize..
There is someone who is, and will be always proud of you..
For whatever time we have been with each other...
U know as well as I..
That we are connected...
By the thread of piousness..
Unblemished in its Godliness...
In the possible funny scenario of being given no answer twice in two days..
But taking a step at a time..
I ask you again will you be more than what we are..

Hyperlink Search

Plenty times on writing something I feel the need to hyperlink but then I have to do a search in other tab and hyperlink. Wouldn't it be nice to have the facility of hyperlink search at the time addition itself in the same page in the same process.

Or is there a tool already present ??

Honest Listener

Oh you beautiful girl..
Stressed by the ways of world..
Perturbed by so many things around..
Giving away your good heart..
Do not worry..
Pour out your heart to me..
Cause I am here, an honest listener..

Hold My Hand : Hootie and the Blowfish

Wondering, contemplating in solitude or is it loneliness. This song surfaced suddenly from the deepest depths of my memory. Popped up just like anything and I smiled for a change.

With a little love, and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together
We'll take 'em by the hand

'Cause I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you

Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
We'll take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, 'cause

'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Won't you let me run with you? yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
'Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I don't wanna be part of your problems
Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no

'Cause I've got a hand for you
I've got a hand for you
'Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, won't you let me run with you?

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...Oh...No, No, No, No, No

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can't change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, The best that I can

The World is Flat : Thomas Friedman

Finally after three years of lying in my book shelf, this book saw its day light. Now I know why people like this book. An great insight into the flat world, mostly global in approach in writing with a bit of American view point. Nevertheless a good read.

Pious in Togetherness

Pious in the togetherness..
The world of our own..
In which no one else intrudes..
Let it be my dear..
That we do not infringe..
The beauty created ..
But cherish and enjoy..
To the fullest and to contentment..

Knowing Your Thoughts

A beautiful chilly morning..
Slept after a long while to my hearts content..
Strangely today I feel liberated...
For all I ever wanted is for us to converse..
And when I now know your mind..
I don't mind at all..
I understand you better...
Since with us there is no one else but us..
No external force..
For I understand your needs and wants and desires..
I let me tell you my dear..
You haven't made me do anything...
Which I did not wanted to do...
All I desire is that the time we have with each other...
We know each other from inside out..
With no hesitation and guilt..
No second thoughts...
No inhibition...
Wow knowing your thoughts..
Is so much better that me trying to figure it out ..
