Are we proud of ourselves?? Yeah they say!!!
Are we proud of our society...boo I hear...But aren't WE society??? NOOOOOOO they shout...
My head is jammed and my heart hammered...aren't we close to our doomsday??? aint we walking on the minefield we created for ourselves?? Blame the blooddyyy govt!!!
But I ask..who chose it??? you and me??? So big deal...it was a choice between a blind and a deaf...then I asked yet again...why didn't we join??? Oh such a dirty game it is...despicable idea...
Are WE doing something about it?? Arree...you crazy lady, shouts a girl, What can we do???

My head reels...and medication intoxicates my mind and body...I rest!

The Glass Palace
Where the 'thin red line' between reality and fiction is blurred.History is given a 'face', and characters are unreally 'real'!!
I don't know whether that makes any sense at all. But as a student of history the entire book seemed like a real human experience in the times when Burma was in flux...from the prosperous rule of Thebaw to the vulnerberality of its existence because of the greed of the Raj...it beautifully weaves in the confusion of identity that people might have experienced at that time. This is definitely the first that peeps into the mindset of a royal family in exile, their inability to accept the truth and their pain of accepting a different culture and changing their age old habits...
I am in awe of Amitav Ghosh because of his ability to connect us with our past through a whirlwind of emotions that we still experience...
It makes me think of our present. In Burma, post the English invasion, people suffered and that stimulated an identity crisis especially for the 'outsiders' like Indians, who otherwise were seen as a family member in times of Royal rule...don't we still consider some as 'outsiders' in our very own Delhi?? I wonder how they feel.
This is no review...but yes, its a must read as it captures elements of the present and his mindboggling story telling subtly touches each emotion and human behaviour.
May be its time we re-think about the whole logic of 'nationalism'!

Rock On
Ok.....I know that I saw the movie too late...don't abuse me for that...but lack of company compelled me to watch it so late :(
I went through a roller coaster ride with this movie...reminisced times in school and college when I used to sing...remembered members of our college band...and cried coz I am one of the lucky few who had a song dedicated (written and composed) by someone...and sooo the sentimental me, cried...mainly because I felt lucky...
Then I felt the transition from a singer to a mere listener and admirer of music and I hate myself for having left singing...I guess I took it for granted and escaped from the internal guilt by making excuses...well no more now!!! I will start singing...not to become a professional singer but to enjoy the little nothings in the journey...the endless rehearsals, debates, disagreements, jamming, drinking tea from other's singer's cup and so on....I miss my days in school specially...but time moves on!!!
And while I was thinking about all this, I carelessly passed through the Central Park today...only to find half an hour later that there has been a bomb blast...at that time I was in my car crossing Baba Kharak Singh Marg...phew!!!!! I still cant fathom that I escaped death...
This incident has given me all the more reason go back and do things I long to do....As Rob in rock On said, "I want to fulfill my dream of performing on the stage before I die." Those lines are still resonating in my ears...
I'm sure there might be many things you always wanted to do or get back to...Just do it...there is always time to make excuses and be lazy about it...but once this time goes it will never come back...so enjoy each day and re- start your old forgotten hobby, remove the pile of dust from it...Time is NOW!!!
Enough of gyaan...just shared my stream of thoughts that I experienced in the last few hours!!!
Rock ON!!!!! :)

Angel....
I ask myself today
What is happening to me?
A month ago, I was torn apart
& now I am bound in love
Is life all about subtle surprises?
I was struggling with myself
Trying to pick up my shattered pieces
But time did not help me here.
I met an angel who guided me through
Angel I call him because…
He is the answer to my silent prayers
Reaffirmed my belief in love!!
Soul mate I call him because…
He reads my mind and heart!!!
Friend I call him because…
He shared my sorrows when I could not share it with myself
Lover I call him because…
He loves me more than the unbound, infinite universe
People come and people go
Life moves on…
But my angel will be with me,
Forever-beyond eternity!!!!!!!!
Music should be a way of life!!!
Music decides my mood each morning…good music lifts my spirits and the bad ones make me sulk…what power music have!!! It has the ability to change your mood as the hues of the sky…sometimes grey,at other times- red or yellow!!! It is what you feel inside that is important…sadly people have forgotten to ‘feel’ and discover the nuances of one’s feeling…that’s why we have so much anger pent up inside us that is waiting for a reason to erupt like a volcano.
I feel music is needed all the more today… to calm ourselves and forget the hectic lives we lead these days…to relax and think about all the beautiful times we have experienced and cherish our lives rather than running after the things we want…
