Crazy world we live in!




They don’t call you crazy
          When you are an accountant
They don’t call you crazy
          When you are a mechanic
Nor do they call you crazy
          If you are a doctor, an engineer, a carpenter or a cleaner

But they call you crazy
          When you make music for the soul
When you create art from your mind… and not sell to the world
          When you play the beat of the heart
When you sing the song of the devil
          Or when you surrender to the universe

You are no different from me
yet I am far away
I touch you… feel you… understand you
You touch me… well… can’t feel me
For I am thin air… lost in the fair
          Catch me if you can… touch me
If you dare!


In my defense... this was written in my sleep... well, i actually dreamt this! If it doesn't make much sense, now you know why :p

DISASTROUS HOLI!

I know usually everyone enjoys Holi. I’m personally not a great fan… but my family is, so I do join them in the celebration. This year, like every year, we went to Creek Park. Not sure who were the organizers; however 89.1 Radio 4 fm was one of them. Below are 10 points why this year it was disastrous: 1               The music sucked big time… mind you, it was all Indians organizing an Indian festival, without the knowledge of which festival! They just wouldn’t play HOLI songs! 2               They hired a comedian to perform right in the midst of the celebration… trust me, it’s just not worth the details! No one heard it either, most left… 3               The suppo-sed ‘STAR OF THE NIGHT’ Monali Thakur, who was lip syncing songs for us, got all pepped up, prepared the audienc...

Humanity gone for a toss!

Everyday cannot be Sunday… but then again, every 7 days it can be right? I’ll understand if someone thinks the above line is lame… but that’s the point! Why sulk when there is a positive side to life? Recently, my man and I were discussing about a particular set of people (elite) who give lame excuses to prove how unhappy their life is. How they worry so much about money more than anything else. How they feel that they weren’t able to achieve anything in life… blah blah blah. This got him and me thinking about our achievements. Mind you, neither he nor I are from well-off families. We belong to the vast majority of middle class families where we just manage to make ends meet. Where buying something from Jimmy Choo is a far-away thought and would require a pocket-money-saving of 4 months, instead just make do with Marks & Spencer. But then, we aren’t complaining… we are happy, contended, and yes, most definitely working towards having a better future. But not complaini...

Was it just a dream?

Certain stories are difficult to start. Even though you intend to relay it word-by-word, some stories are difficult to express unless you are a writer of high caliber. Please be assured, I’m not one of those and shall do my levels best to put this simply, minus the confusion! Before I even as much as begin with the story, I just want to ask all the readers if they’ve ever had a repetitive dream or nightmare… I’m a person who believes that dreams have a meaning… if anyone else also believes in the same, care to interpret this one for me? Allow me to provide you with a brief synopsis of what happened sometime before I slept off as I think its related to the nightmare I had last night… As most of you know, my cousin is currently in town from Doha. We spend shit-loads of time together… however, this story is to do with my nightmare, therefore won’t get into that. We had to meet up a common friend of ours at Starbucks (SB) in Al Ghurair. He picked us up in a White Toyot...
