Bap Kennedy - Moonlight Kiss

I can feel my heart
And it's fit to burst
I try to clean it up
But I just get worse

Wish I could fall
On a night like this
Into your lovin' arms
For a moonlight kiss

I thought I saw your face
In the evenin' sky
On a lonesome cloud
That was driftin' by

I wish I could fall
On a night like this
Into your lovin' arms
For a moonlight kiss

You got someone else
Maybe it's for the best
Since I took the cure
For happiness

And I'd trade it all
On a night like this
For your lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss

For your lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss

Lovin' arms
And a moonlight kiss
Ooh, yeah

Bob Seger - We've got tonight

I know it’s late, I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’ t we stay?

Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I’ve longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I’ll keep searching, after today
So there it is girl, I’ve got it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t we stay?

I know it’s late, I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let’s make it last, let’s find a way
Turn off the light, come take my hand now
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t we stay?
We’ve got tonight babe
Why don’t we stay?

Calvin and Hobbes!

Calvin and Hobbes complete!!!

Calvin and Hobbes day to day!

Today has been a productive day. Proof is given above. :D

Nowadays I have nothing to write. Very good. I have been on orkut for the whole shift. Didn't even do the reports I was supposed to do. It's a pain. Nevertheless, orkut has been fun. Now I need some new topics. All topics of my interest have been a real good joy to scrap/post. Found out that a whole lotta bangalore guys n gals are on orkut. That was something I could've neva guessed.

Me and my friend have been contemplating on getting a premium account here. This is easily the most used site to download stuff from, especially movies/shows/vids. Roughly 500 bucks a month. I am just waiting for the tata indicom guys to tell me that they can provide a net connection at my area. 128kbps unlimited is 1.3k / month. Affordable if the speed is at least above 90 and the download is around 25kbps. Then I shall get an account for myself. Get my wife up and running and put movies big time for download. Thanks to torrents, a lot of rare movies are available online in a decent print.

I call my desktop my wife. All my close friends know that. So they also know that my wife has been fighting life and death for more than six months now! My friends argued that as I now have a 'keep' (read laptop :D) I am ignoring my sick wife. I know my wife, she's the best! Once she gets a new heart and lungs, things are gonna be just like the good ol' days! Multi tasking ( stop thinking pervertedly now! LMBO! ) downloads, kick ass effect from the creative 2.1 speakers..........sigh, now I suddenly miss her even MORE! :(( I will neva give up on her.

Once someone asked me 'So, hows life?'. This is one of the first times I was asked this question, so it's been a real long time. I replied instinctively 'Where can I download a full version for free?' and the other person just walked away. Must've thought.............I'm deaf! ROFL!

The Chennai trip

First of all, some CnH!




The Chennai trip

Me and three more friends went to a colleague's wedding. The bride was a colleague too = Dove marriage. Christian wedding in chennai. I thought I might as well shop for some DVDs on the way back...

So reached around noon, had one a/c room ( Did I mention chennai weather / environment sucks?! ) so bought not so chilled beer. Then left to the church. Reached right on cue. Bride arrives. I was *almost* mouth wide open. I know the bride. So it was a li'l hard to recognize it was really her. Bridesmaids were full ready with their respective partners. Groom was inside by the time the bride arrived. Amid a li'l chaos the bride enters with music in the background...........

I set foot inside and I was ......enchanted! Probably the only word that can describe close to what I felt. The ambience, decorations were all in place. What is the thing in a church that makes me feel enchanted? ......was what I was thinking....and started to observe logical reasons to the question. The white paint with mellow yellow bulb lights sure makes a helluva difference in a large hall! Then comes the artificial flowers decorated with makeshift 'doors'. There were three leading to the altar. Orange colored. Again, perfect color combo for a large space. The chandeliers were also awefockingsome. I was happy I figured out the reasons, at least part of them. The cermony began.......

They exchanged vows. Probably the only part I disliked about the whole thing was when the priest made it a point to repeat the line 'I always say there is a difference between a family and a CHRISTIAN family' three or four times in a span of a few minutes. What the!?!? was what I was thinking. A family is a just a social unit living together, mostly relatives most of the time according to our country. What can be the difference now , huh? That apart, it was an awe-inspiring experience.

Vows exchanged, it's legal now. Both of them seemed so happy, I was trying to decide for whom I felt more happier. The bride, who's a close friend of mine or the groom , whom I've known for more than five years now. But I was happy for THEM.

Next came the hall where they cut the cake, have their first dance etc..(Is there a name for this place/ritual now??).

The cake was cut. There was a local band (kicktheass!) who played 'only you' by the king himself. They played all the songs they did purrfectly. Bridesmaids+partner started. Groom n Bride joined. Slowly swaying to the music.......bride's head on the groom's shoulder......that must've been such a nice feeling....I moved inside the dancers n captured the bride n groom dancing for almost the whole song. I was gradually too far as I had to come out of the crowd. Nevertheless, I captured their first ever dance together.

One funny thing happened next.....Groom gets up to thank everyone involved. Knowing him, he had just the right words to say to everyone. "Last but not the least, the extraordinary woman I've known in my life, k..." was his last paragraph. After he was done, a family friend announced that it was the bride's turn and said 'We don't want the groom to have the last word, do we?'. I laughed. I was completely immersed now, peeking from behind the crowd. Bride gets up n says 'Thank you for letting me have the last word'...a pause..laughter again. Then she just finished her part of thanking the ppl involved.

The band started some peppy songs. ALL the gals there seem to know salsa! I was so surprised to say the least. A couple were easily the best. Their daughter used to come n pester them by pulling her mom's hand. It was nice to watch.:)

Then came the hard part....drinks on the house! Yep, that was the hard part....unbelievable but true. We were sweating under the humidity at 9 in the early night...and no beer! But obviously a good decision as beer would've got over very very very soon! tehehe ;)
Tried a li'l whisky with coke, one sip and I couldn't. My friend tried vodka with sprite, same status. So had some dinner n headed back to our lodge.

And oh yes, we were supposed to go shopping the next day. We found we just had money for lunch n to head back to our homes. So cancelled, searched for beer as cold as possible, one bottle and slept amongst our sweaty pillows!

One more thing.....while on the train, the TC had a tiff with some guys who were next to us. He came to check our tickets n started muttering aloud...(in tamil) 'these ppl sir, they think they can get away with anything. Some guy says he knows Mr.X, Y n Z. So I told him to keep his 'contacts' with him as it is of no use here.' I said 'Yes, it's like the joke in the tamil movie 'I know the DIG very well.................(all men around including constables show respect).........but the DIG has no idea who I am!' lol! It's funny in tamil, believe me. Everyone around us laughed. My friend asked the TC 'Sir, will the train stop anywhere for like around ten mins?'. TC 'No, it won't. Why?' . Friend 'Nothing sir,just wanted to know'. Me 'Sir, won't the train stop for a few minutes somewhere along the journey?'. TC 'Sir, why do you want to know?'. Me 'Dumm sir, dumm'. TC 'You wanna buy or smoke them?'. Me ' I have. But want to have a smoke sometime along the way'. TC 'No problem sir, you can go to the loo and smoke there'. Me (fullto respect n all now)'Sir, am asking your permission to go n have a smoke in the loo now'. TC (impressed!) 'Sure sir, go ahead. Please don't embarass me further!'. hawhawhaw. Had my smoke, came back n slept.

Phew..am damn sure I had a whole lot to describe but just can't get them right. So that was our chennai experience.

duh

Been a while since I scribbled using the keyboard. Our CEO was down here and basically everybody wanted to know when he's leaving. Now you can imagine the pressure!

Now that he's gone, it's better. :D

Going to chennai tomm morn first thing to attend a former colleague's marriage. The bad........his wife from tomm is a better friend with me. Obviously when you get married, it hurts to know that. But marriage is a pretext or rather a secondary priority. I wanna go shopping for DVDs in 'paris (parry's?) corner. A stretch of around two kms with ONLY pirated DVD shops. Each shop is of the exact same size, a door size in width and double the length. But the rates are damn cheap compared to bangalore rates. And I thought 100 bucks for a DVD is cheap! lol!

Tis that time of the month ( no pun intended! ) for ME ie., no money to buy cigarrettes too! tch tch...........standard of living........directly proportional to the salary you get.

Nothing more to scribble on the keyboard. Not too enthusiastic today too.

Who am I?

In Hindu mythology, Raghu was a valorous king of the Ikshavaku dynasty. The name in sanskrit translates to the fast one, deriving from Raghu's chariot driving abilities. So celebrated were the expliots of Raghu, that his dynasty itself came to be known as the Raghuvamsha or the Raghukula after him. The history of his dynasty is elaborated upon by Kalidasa in his Raghuvamsha. The lineage described in the Raghuvamsha goes thus: Dileepa was the father of Raghu, who was the father of Aja, who was the father of Dasaratha, who was the father of Rama.

Here's something new I learnt today :

The word "news" comes from a special use of the plural of the word "new" and not, as the common backronym claims, from the four cardinal directions (north, east, west, and south). Old spellings of the word varied widely—newesse, newis, nevis, neus, newys, niewes, newis, etc.

Isn't that simply something that you always thought you knew and turns out wrong!

Ways of killing time...it always gets better!

The weekend ...is finally here!

Well, nothing to rejoice as my bank balance is not four digits. So it's not hard to imagine what the extent of spending would be, if any. Snooker has been my 'latest' passion although I must admit I have spent a BOMB in the last 8-10 months tryin it out. I must say am pretttttttttty good now. ;) Yesterday was one of the worst performances ever. Now that I am out of the 'owl' shift most of the times, it's really hard to stay awake in the afternoons and I end up sleeping at 1am.

Work is hectic!



You mean to say you actually believed me when I said it? lol!
