V


"But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Howzzat for an Introduction!!! Or should I call it a fustian rant, even better a Vainglorious Vaudevillian Verbiage???

Today being X'Mas, we are lucky to have an off day. So, I was lazing through the entire day watching movies on my laptop. And as I was watching V, I couldn't help but notice how heavily the dialogues leaned towards usage of the words starting with the letter 'V'. What ingenuity I say!!! Insane Creativity and Such minute attention to detail.
Bloody Brilliant!!! Freakin' Awesome!!!

Who's Cuter: The Pug or The Girl ???

Advertising is an art. It either makes or breaks a brand.

I loved Hutch ads -- more so, the pug in it. When Hutch became Vodafone, off went the pug. The effervescence and the warmth in the ads went missing and Vodafone ads turned out insipid and bland --Well, until they decided to bring back the pug.

So, the Vodafone guys take the pug and add some really lilting music and come up with an amazingly cute concept. And launch a massive campaign in the midst of IPL.
Stroke of Genius!!!

It's been a hot topic for discussion since, almost as much as IPL itself. Ever since I've seen the ad, I've been humming the jingle a lot. It's so damn addictive. Listen to it and then try getting it off your lips. :)




Everyday I want to fly, stay by my side...
Everyday I want to dream, stay by my side...

Every morning I wish I could just play....
Wish the mornings would just stay...

P.S: However cute this ad maybe, the Vodafone network in Bengal sucks big time. Period. Time for some magic from the ad to rub off on the network here.

Falling Slowly -- Once

I have just realised that I have the HOTS for soulful haunting melodies. Wow!!! What can be more soothing than a simple and delicately lyricized hummable song........

If you had watched the telecast of the 80th Annual Academy Awards, you’d understand what I exactly want to say. The soulful rendition of “Falling Slowly” from the movie ONCE by the lead performers – Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova – caught my eye(or ear, is it???) and I have been basking in the warmth and the honey dipped innocence of this lovely song. (It’s been blaring from my speakers ever since. :) ) That the song went to win the OSCAR for best song speaks volumes for itself and limits my use of further eloquence. Just listen and enjoy .

Music It is

Another tag by The twilightfairy
This time its about music.

1. Which song is being played in your mind right now?

“You were my everything” by Aviation.
I’ve heard this one over 60 times today. So what else could blare in my head right at this instant?

2. One song that describes your life…. (no self made compositions please)

“Patience” by Take That
“Bad Day” by Daniel Powter
“Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol
“Trouble Sleeping” by The Perishers
“It ends tonight” by The All American Rejects
“It’s not Over” by Daughtry

Life’s so byzantine and convoluted that to encapsulate it within one song would be entirely out of question. So maybe the assortment here might paint a faint sketch of me. It’s got more to do with feel and the mood of the songs than with the lyrics.
...

3.The song you listen to most on your Ipod/Mp3 player/Cell/PC etc…
Most songs have a relatively short shelf-life when it comes to me. I listen repeatedly to a song until it isn’t fresh anymore or until I find another one. Poor “Dave”, who unfortunately is my neighbour, has to endure the same song repeatedly blaring from my speakers – mostly I use the repeat mode. Like it is “You were my everything” from Aviation today, “Paas Aaya Kyon” last week, Rihanna’s “Umbrella” the week before that and “Laare Choote” sometime in April ;)

But then there are those that surpass all boundaries and are a pleasure to the ears. These are the few that I turn to when I am down and out and need to rejuvenate, when I am happy and want to feel exuberant, when I am dismal and want to feel better and sometimes fro no reason at all. A few such that I can recollect right at this instant, I’ll mention below.

“Iris” –Goo Goo Dolls
“Hero” – Enrique Iglesias
“The Reason” - Hoobastank

“You’re Beautiful” - James Blunt
“Dream On” – Aerosmith
“Words” – Boyzone
“Hotel California” – Eagles
“Stairway to Heaven” – Led Zeppelin
“When you say nothing at all” – Ronan Keating
“Thank You” – Dido
“Diary of Jane” – Breaking Benjamin
“Horse with no name” –Americans
“Late GoodBye” – Poets of the Fall
“So Sick of Love songs” – Ne-Yo as well as the female version
“Wonderwall” - Oasis

Guess, I’d better stop here and move on.

4. A song that best describes the following days in your life.

School/College Days –“Summer of ’69” by Bryan Adams. Nothing else strikes my memory when you say school days. The selection is self explanatory.

Love – haven’t experienced it. So I’ll just quote the most romantic songs I’ve heard.
“Nothing in the world” by Atomic Kitten
“She’s Everything” by Brad Paisley. The lovely lyrics epitomize the perfect girlfriend I guess. I might be wrong, though.

Mood right now – “Colorblind” by Darius. Confused yet feels fine. Replace the girl in the song with workload.

5. Your all time favourite song, and the reason for it... maybe some memory/ some funny story/etc!!!
“Yeh Haseen Waadiyaan” from Roja
Rehman’s first and his best.

I remember singing this in some compulsory singing competition in school(must have been in class IV then) and amazingly ended up being selected for the school choir.

6. A song u wish u hadn't heard!!! (more than one is always a pleasure!!!)
Him(s)hesh Reshammiya -- No second thoughts on that.
Man!!! Is he a pain in the arse???

On a trip from Mysore to Ooty the driver couldn’t seem to get enough of him and we had to endure the songs all along the 6 hour trip and no prizes for guessing who ended up with a headache.

7. A song that would best describe..... Me[twilightfairy]
(Hey, I took pains to tag u, I guess I deserve this ;-) )
I do not know much about you. Everything I know about you is from reading the posts on your blog. So you maybe just come across as sweet and nice.
I am tempted to say “Angel of the Morning” by The Pretenders ;)

But then let me go with this lovely piece – “The Mass” by Era. Note the aura in the song.

8. If you were in an elevator with Himesh Reshammiya and Altaf Raja, you would..........
Murder Himesh by slitting his throat. Or cut off his nose, so he further can’t sing. Altaf doesn’t bother me that much.

Now to further tag somebody, I'd like to see Dave(my music GURU) write a similar one as and when he starts his blog. For now 'Rampage' I tag.

Roger Federer -- The Artist

I'd been wanting to write something about Federer for quite some time now. But then, With my limited vocab, I feared I would just be belittling the sublime artistry of the wonderful champion. His mind-numbing repertoire and arsenal of shots, his ability to change gears in a jiffy, his on court cool, calm and collected disposition, his amazing handling of pressure situations, his off court charity works, his body language and attitude, his respect for the legends as well as his peers, the humour and humility preset in his press conferences, his striking looks, his gorgeous smile...... Ooh!!! I can go on and on.

But then before I say anything more about the master, all his greatness is encompassed in this absolutely wonderful NIKE Ad. With a voice over by Tiger Woods and the absolutely apt music, this ad has been one of the best I have seen over the years. The twist at the end makes it all the more worthwhile.

P.S : For all the Nadal fans and Sampras aficionados, I truly admire them both too. Let's not compare Sampras and Federer. They were the best of their generation. How they would have fared if pitted against each other in their primes is just fodder for speculation. And Nadal is undoubtedly the best clay courter ever and might catch up with Federer very soon on the other surfaces as well. Love his fighting spirit.

Happy Birthday, My Friend.

Dear Friend,

It’s been ages since we met…. but you as a person have always remained close to my heart.
It seems like an eternity since we spoke…. but you remain my constant source of encouragement and inspiration.

I never knew what hit me. But I rendered it was the right thing to do. Maybe I was being harebrained. Maybe I was acting sensibly. But at that time I felt it was the right thing to do -- FOR US TO GROW APART.

The distance between us might never melt. I know I hurt your emotions a lot. But then I am not here to give any excuses. The moments we shared haunt me time and again. I can still feel the impact you had on me and you still have on me. Nobody has gotten close to knowing and understanding me as you did. I thank you with all my heart for the lovely moments we shared. Just wanted to say, “It would be nice to have you back as my friend”.

Haan, before I forget to wish you, Happy Birthday. So on the day that trumpets and echoes and celebrates the moment of your arrival into this world, I thank the heavens for your lovely presence and guidance in my life. Miss you in many ways, in ways words can never express.

Yours truly.

P.S : This was something I wrote yesterday, but was largely skeptical about posting. But then certain things are better not hidden. So I am posting this, a day later, after a lot of deliberation and thought.
Skepticism – for I believe my friend is never going to see this.
Deliberation and Thought lead me to summoning all courage and doing the right thing.

The Jinxed post -- But a Gr8 Song neways

One more great song, Just wanted to share these beautiful lyrics of Michael Jackson’s Heal The World. One of MJ’s lesser known songs. Actually MJ also setup the Heal the World Foundation for the aid of children all around the world, especially Africa. Dunno what has happened to the foundation. Even the website doesn’t exist anymore. Anyways, here are the lyrics.

HEAL THE WORLD
Written and composed by Michael Jackson













(Think about, um, the generations, and that we want to make it a better place for our children and our children's children so that they know it's a better world for them. I think they can make it a better place.)

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place
You'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
Make a better world...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Would this earth crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world
With no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could
Really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

(You and for me)
Make a better place
(You and for me)
Make a better place
(You and for me)
Make a better place
(You and for me)
Heal the world we live in
(You and for me)
Save it for our children
(You and for me)
Heal the world we live in
(You and for me)
Save it for our children
(You and for me)
Heal the world we live in
(You and for me)
Save it for our children
(You and for me)
Heal the world we live in
(You and for me)
Save it for our children


This one’s got a great video too… Quite a thoughtful song. Especially love the words that the lil’ kid says at the start of the song – something for each one of us to ponder about and for each one of us to try follow. Soothing music, lilting voice with MJ at his best, absolutely marvellous and thought provoking lyrics – subtly embedded with a message, great choreography with its own fair share of disturbing yet inspiring scenes – All in all, one Classic Song!!!

Da Vinci Code Or Angels n Demons -- Which one's better???

To HELL with Goofy start ups. Guess I am quite allergic to that. Ok let me start, so that I cut down on the Crap. I must admit I am not a voracious book reader. I was one, actually. Or so says my mom. When I was in my primary school, I used to read books that my mom bought for me... All at one go. That's what I often get to hear. And then I got my nasty sight defect and then all of a sudden I was discouraged from reading too many books. My parents were pretty sure my huge eye sight defect was due to my reading too many books and they were damn frightened that I would only worsen the defect reading too many books. Well, I cut down on books a lot.... Story books and novels became a strict no-no and Academic material was too boring to figure out. For me, listening in class was sufficient to top my class. Do I sound a bit arrogant??? Atleast this is what my classmates always wondered about. By the time I was in class 3, I had a penchant for quizzing and the ilk. I always dreamt of being on the TV in a quiz show. (Well, that never materialized). Or It would be apt if I said I was bitten by the quizzing bug. Now in order to become a good quizzer, one had to have a good knowledge of, say, everything. And this 'love' led me to magazines and newspapers. Well, you can pretty much call me a 'magazine lover', I guess. Loads of mags and lots of food stuff... You leave me on a deserted island.... Maybe I'll never call you back again.
I still remember, those days in 'Hostel'. Rush through my breakfast and run to the brother's quarters to read 'THE HINDU', 'Indian Express', 'Eenadu' and the rest, not to forget 'The Frontline' and 'The Sportstar'. And it became my unofficial duty... I was to deliver 'The Hindu' from The quarters to the Hostel every single day. When I was in class 8, the students favoured Deccan Chronicle over The Hindu. We were allowed just one newspaper to the hostel premises and almost all the students preferred the spicy, raunchy Deccan Chronicle over the "bulky, dry" Hindu. I just could not stand the yellow journalism offered by The Deccan and I had that heated argument with my warden... "Why the hell on earth would you replace the HINDU??? And do you think anyone is interested in the news they publish in the Chronicle??? Don't you understand that everyone is only interested in having a peep at those brash, flashy stuff from the fashion shows that the Chronicle publishes to woo the youth???" I guess he understood and we were allowed 2 papers everyday. Guess I won!!!
At home, the first thing I do as I wake up (Whatever time on earth it is) is get hold of 'THE Hindu' and 'Eenadu' as well..... Munch through each and every page till there's nothing left. All the while I am reading, one can find me ignoring my mom calling out "First Brush your teeth and then go through the paper" and my grandma pleading "Have ya breakfast... It's already too late". Well, I guess I cannot do without that.
I somehow make it a point to have a peek at "The Outlook", "India Today", "The Week", "The Sportstar" and the rest every week. Any train journey home, tag along these a car mag, mostly AutoCar or BSM and a "Filmfare" or some cheap movie masala talk. And I must admit I buy a few comics though I am not very much comfortable with them.

It had been quite some while until last autumn, that I had laid my hands on a novel. My last novel was something during my +2 days in Chennai. I guess it had been 2 years since I atleast glanced at a novel. Just magazines and newspapers for me for 2 years. It was while I was in Kgp that I heard of a novel going by the name "Five Point someone" -- by Chetan Bhagat, and that it was a rage all over the country and being an IITian ( a fresh one at that) I guess I was supposed to read that to get a feel of the place. I spent about a hundred bucks on that, finished it quite quickly in maybe 2 days. After that, Someone took that away from my room and I never got to see it once again. I really enjoyed that one because it had friendship, academics, naughty pranks and most of all, it had that "IIT LINGO" and "IIT Culture" written all over it. But then not everyone will enjoy it. There isn't a good plot, it's shoddily written and contains glaring errors . Sorry Chetan, but I will have to admit that it was plain mediocre stuff. Your book wouldn't have got off the shelves hadn't u been an IITian!!! I guess you know that pretty well too. I am sure that a non-iitian will loath reading the book except for maybe the spicy romp you deliberately forced into the story. And here I must warn everybody. "Don't ever lay your hands on Chetan's second book "One night @ The Call Centre"."
Gosh!!! I don't want to speak about that at all. If someone's really bugging you up and you are too timid to take your frustrations out on him/her, presenting this book to him/her would do you a world of good, I bet.

WARNING : SPOILER AHEAD... DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF READING ANY OF THE BOOKS BY DAN BROWN

And then came along the frequent headlines about the controversies stirred up by this International Best Seller by "Dan Brown" -- "The Da Vinci Code". How much ever I tried ignoring this work, this always fell within my purview with it being in the news, in the best selling lists.. etc. And one day I happened to read the basic platform around which the entire novel was based on. No wonder the whole world was talking about this book. The very fact that Jesus had a wife named Mary Magdalene and not only did Jesus marry her but that she bore his offspring shook my booty.... It just shivered my timbers. The book further goes on to state that Jesus' daughter was named Sarah and the holy bloodline still lives to this day. Which means Descendants of the Lord Jesus Christ are amongst us. It also states that there is a secret society named "Priory of Sion" which safeguards this secret to this day!!!! Or maybe it wants the world to know the truth!!! You can look at it whichever way you like. I am not a Christian and yet this revelation had me shell-shocked. Wonder how the reaction a staunch Catholic would be like???
The story starts off with the murder of the Grand Master (The Head) of the Priory of Sion and Dan Brown unravels the plot at breakneck pace.

Click here for the Basic Plot of The Da Vinci Code

Having heard so much of the book and also the lengthy discussions with friends about the validity of the theory propounded by the book, it was high time I laid hands on the book. I bought the book on one of my trips to Vizag and I was almost restless on the way back home. It was too tempting to keep the book safely wrapped in my bag. I reached home and was off to my room in a jiffy... with ofcourse this one along with me. 2 sittings was all it took. Just the usual supper call in between. I was so much into the book I almost forgot the whole world. It was quite a fascinating exhilarating ride reading the book. The plot thickened with each and every page, the event unfolded in a very grand manner, minute details were covered immaculately... God!!! Dan Brown had got everything right. I must say he did his homework perfectly. This novel just blew me off my feet. It was my best ever read. Initially I thought the reviews printed on the book were just a result of the controversial subject that it dealt with it. Even as I started the book, I felt that it was quite over-rated. But then as things started falling into place, I began to like and enjoy the story. I had also bought a copy of "Angels & Demons" along with "The Code" but then I wouldn't have in my wildest dreams imagined that I would complete 'Angels' too the very next day.

Click here for The basic plot of Angels & Demons

Having had a great liking for the DaVinci Code, I sauntered into reading 'Angels'. As I started reading this, it had a similar feel to the Code... Both were of very similar architecture. It was kinda boring at first but again here the plot being Anti-Church, just drew me in after a couple of pages and I did not rest until I had completed it full. One helluva read and I must admit this was much better than the Code I had just finished the day before. Once I had completed these 2 books I was in a kind of spell... I desperately wanted to get my hands on all the other books Dan Brown had written. He seemed a Genius to me. I browsed the net and found out his 2 other novels.... 'Digital Fortress' and 'Deception Point'. I was just waiting to go to Vizag one more time and when I went I made sure I returned with 'The Digital Fortress' with me. I couldn't buy 'Deception point' as well due to money constraints. Actually I had to make a tightrope walk -- do a few savings on that trip -- in order to buy Fortress.
Well, back home I started reading Fortress and was it interesting?? Naah. It seemed just about ok. It sounded all too familiar and I could guess the ending so easily. So pretty much bland it seemed. And then the tempo to read Deception point diminished to a large extent. Back in Kgp, after the holidays, I managed to get 'Deception Point' from a friend but then the mood is never right to carry on with the book. Hardly did I read one tenths of the book.... It seemed too ordinary.
Well, What was it that made The Code as well as Angels my most loved books of all time??? First thing that strikes you is the controversial nature of the plot. Added to the controversial nature of the plot are the twists and turns associated with the story. One gets to see very few people in the entire story but these characters carry different sentiments and emotions. Dan Brown has done great research and has made use of every tiny detail he has got on hand. He immaculately uses all his knowledge to craft a masterpiece. The plot in all his 4 novels starts with a murder, and the hero, is sent to investigate or get a peek at the murder/murderer even though he is far flung to do that job. He has just about a day or two to do the work asked of him and the time constraint makes it all the more interesting. All along he is tagged on to a female partner whom he never knew properly earlier. While you are at one location during the course of a chapter you will invariably be somewhere else in the next chapter. Brown is very much successful in carrying on the narrative parallel without disturbing the flow of the narrative. And while narrating the story he discloses a lot of funda about various places like the Louvre, churches in Britain or about the Priory of Sion etc.. All that Dan Brown mentions look so convincing and real, that I wonder if anyone would ever again imagine them being fictional. One thing is for sure, Dan Brown look so convincing.
In the Code and Angels as well, Robert Langdon is the protagonist and you will surely end up loving this fellow. You can surely identify yourself with him -- not the quintessential hulkster -- but the average human being prone to errors and more importantly down to earth. In both these books you will love to break the codes that are embedded in the story. Sample this out.... The letters of the word "Oh! Lame Saint" can be rearranged to form "The Mona Lisa".(One clue for the Protagonists in the story). Just go ahead with this book and you will find many more such anagrams to rack your brain. Quite fascinating stuff. You get to know what a cryptograph is and also what a Caesar's Box is!!! And you also get to know a lot more about Christ than you ever did and the Holy Grail.
While The code deals more with code breaking, Angels is more about symbols..... Symbols form the crux of Angels. The way Brown showcases the Illuminati and discusses its works -- The ambigrams -- words that read the same when seen topside or bottomside -- FIRE, AIR, EARTH, WATER and the ILLUMINATI DIAMOND -- it's just a treat to the eye. One just can't believe such symmetry can exist. The path that Langdon charters is well etched out in Angels -- how he hops on from one church to the other breaking the clues he is provided with. Quite racy and superbly written stuff. I never felt like taking a break while reading this one. Once the hunt to find out the missing Cardinals starts the book is unputdownable. One also gets to know a lot about the papal elections -- the elections of the pope and the functioning of the papacy. And in both these novels, your suspect keeps changing with time and you will never have suspected the final culprit until you enter the last few pages of the novel.





Here I need to mention about 'John Langdon' - the creator of these ambigrams. These ambigrams create awe in the minds of the reader. You just cannot ignore them. Just check out his cool website and a few other ambigrams he has created.
And I also would like to say I am eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, "The DaVinci Code" -- starring my favourite actor 'Tom Hanks' as Langdon and the extremely sweet and lovable 'Audrey Tatou' (Remember her from 'Amelie') as Sophie Neveu. The first theatrical trailer has been out long back and seeing that has got me all pumped up for viewing this epic story on screen. Would love watching this on the IMAX screen at Prasad's, Hyderabad. Just waiting for 19.05.06 to arrive. Will never miss this one!!!

But then why did I not like Fortress or Deception Point? Well too much of anything gets quite annoying. Fortress went on very much similar lines to the Code and Angels. The same initial murder of the most revered in his field, the same shifting of places via chapters, the most knowledgeable person being the killer, everything was the same. Add to that a dash of hi-fi funda 'bout computer code breaking and this becomes incorrigible after a point of time. Once I could figure out N.Dakota was an anagram for Tankado, half the story was out and there was no chance I would enjoy the story. Everything looked plain and somber. I could painfully complete it anyways.
Later when I got hold of Deception point, I just could not brace myself upto read it. Well I think its time you changed your style Mr Brown. You have become monotonic and painful. I sincerely wish Brown changes his writing style. I am not going to buy "The Solomon key" (expected for a September 2006 release) until I can catch hold of some decent reviews wherein I can feel some distinctive change in his writing style.
I'd deliberately not blurted out the endings of any of the books even though I wanted to when I began writing this post but then I just do not want to spoil the fun you can have reading the book. Go ahead and Experience the thrill of The Da Vinci Code as well as Angels & Demons. And I will fall back into my magazines unless I can hear of novels with equally intriguing plots and deft writing. Adios until then.

FRIENDSHIP – THE FLAVOUR OF THE WEEK

It’s almost that time of the year when the seniors (4th and the 5th years) are busy job-hunting with the majority placed already by now. This is the time of the year where the sweet memories come rushing back. Strong hormone surges in the brain makes us wonder whether we can live to see such days again. Still having 2 more years to go with my stay here in KGP, I am anxiously looking forward to the day when I set out to attain loftier goals I have set for myself. Again, why am I drifting away from what I had to say?

Just wanted to say one of my personal favourites, something that plays quite a few times everyday on my Comp…, caught the emotions and piquant nature of the situation quite superbly in its lyrics. A must listen for every music lover. I like enjoying the emotions carried by the lyrics.

Here it goes

Song by VITAMIN C







Titled "Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon

And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever

We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly







For those of you who haven’t heard the song before, I recommend it’s a must listen. For those of you who have heard this before I guess you share the same feelings as me and that you echo my thoughts.

Yipeeeeeee!!!! My Cam's here


The wait is finally over....... Managed to purchase the CAm of my dreams. I have been waiting for long to purchase a digicam and right now am ecstatic with this sleek creature in my hands. This is a SONY CYBERSHOT DSC - T5 and boy, oh boy, did I love it. It was like love at first sight. The moment my eyes fell on this gorgeous babe... I knew it had to be mine. Now just wish me happy photo-hunting with this.
