Dead Man's Chest

I haven't posted in a while but I heard this in the radio today after such a long time and just felt like posting. I guess 'cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life.

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

Tis been a long time since I've been here.

Has anything changed since???

Maybe I've grown a little older, a little smarter(?).......na I'm the same old ass that I was when I was last here.

So....the convocation finally happened and it was actually fun. Reminded me of those good ol' days, those 3 days there. Wish I could turn back time. Somethings are just too good to forget.

Thats done though. Time to move on......there are better things in life to do still. 

Took 1-D to a gazal bar yesterday. Actually went for Ab Tak Chappan but the tickets were sold out. Didn't expect that from the movie but it seems the people are really loving it. Anyway had a hell of a time getting out the bike from the crowded parking lot since we were the only ones without ticket n parked quite inside. Some half an hour to get it out. Then we were off to the bar. It was real fun listening to the stuff which u don't often hear in other places. And guess what I felt like listening to Chupke Chukpe and tadaa........ thats the last song they played for the day. That guy must be a mind-reader.

I gotta do this more often. I'll make it a point to do so from now on. Lets see.

 

 

It's really been a great year for Jhonny Depp with 2 movies in top 5 right now, among them one of the biggest movie this year. He is undoubtably one of the greatest actors of the modern generation. Well it seems box office success has finally come his way too. Three cheers for him!

BORED ........... neither in nor out. No work right now. Got tired of surfing. Waiting for something to happen. Heard fire alarm went off few months back in the office. Well it'll be a lucky break if it happens right now. Meanwhile 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence' has left me thinking about classicism and romanticism. Feel like I'm hanging somewhere in between the two. I'm taking the book slowly though, some 20-30 pages in a day.
Somebody suggest something to do while I'm in the office or I might go off to sleep. That won't be really good in my scorecard........sleeping in office. Never thought I'll say this, but I need some work. Man that sounds weird coming from me. I gotta ponder upon that for a while.

My first entry......hmmm. What should I talk about? The book I'm reading - its 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintanence'. Just started it and reached some 50 pages. I don't seem to find the time to read it although I got nothing to do these days. Busy for nothing! Havn't slept in my house for the last 3 weekends. Someone or the other always seem to pop up and I'm off to places. Gotta find time to read the book. Waiting for 'Wolves of the Calla'. Heard its coming out at the end of the year. Wanna go through the previous 4 ones again and then start this one. Dark Tower here I come!
