Bon Jovi Rocks!
I hadn't heard my fav album in quite a while so when I heard this song on Radio, I was damn kicked :)
Keep The Faith
Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith

Monday Blues
Dinner went off well. I'm getting the hang of cooking all by myself without any assistants hovering around to help when I holler! I must do this more often I guess! We opened a bottle of red wine - not Bordeaux unfortunately, but Hungarian - very dry, but good wine! I shall finish it off today.... :)
We had a little discussion on my temper, about family relationships, about "other" relationships, about careers, about studying abroad, about expenses, about our future...blah blah blah....so it was not a short talk!! Haha!
Today I wonder what I will do. It's always boring and slow the day after friends have come over. Plus it's a monday, a rainy monday morning. Life seems to drag on....god I wonder how snails tolerate the pace of their life. I get so fed-up when things take time, or people walk slow for no reason! Action is the mantra of the era!!

It's Sunday
Sunday's are Great aren't they? Late mornings, sumptuous breakfasts, lots of TV....
Today I'm cooking for my friends : Appu and Kunaal. Good fun - I'm referring to the part when I'm done with the slaving in the kitchen and they are praising my efforts, while lapping it all up!
There's a Soup, Pasta Salad, Veg Florentine and Souffle. Think I should con someone to bring a bottle of Wine?
There's a thought!

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Raindrops keep falling on my head
and just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed
nothing seems to fit, those
raindrops are falling on my head
they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
and I said I didn't like the way
he got things done
sleeping on the job, those
raindrops are falling on my head
they keep falling
But there's one thing i know
the blues they send to meet me
won't defeat me
I won't be long
till happiness step up
to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
but doesn't mean my eyes will soon
be turning red
crying's not for me, 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
because I'm free
nothing's worrying me
*Tum Pada Dum...*

Pondering Away
So I'm sitting here and thinking, why do people have to be so bloody annoying? They come into your lives, unsettle you, then just get up and leave with not so much as an explanation!
Then I say, hey you've done it at times.
But those people were so annoying, I couldn't tolerate them anymore. If I did, I'd end up scratching their faces or something catty. Better bitchy than catty, right?
Ouch...does that mean I'm as annoying? So where do I place the blame - on the other or me?
*Frown*
Ideally I ought to take the blame, but that screws up my self-esteem and confidence - you know that stuff is real important in order to survive in this big bad world - so I figure it's because the person didn't bother to get to know me, the real me, behind this facade of flighty, vagueness.
That makes me feel better -Incipient little idiot! Just a non-entity!!
Aha...I feel a sense of calm float down onto my shoulders. Nice. Think I'll go admire the rainy evening, take a walk or something.
I think I should do some meditation. I hear it helps to calm down people with urges to scream, bouts of uncontrollable rage that they have to suppress, which leads to a volcanic situation. A friend says it helps. Mayhaps I should give it a shot, coz rage curdles inside me all the time.
Speaking of Friends, I have a fine lot you know. Very nice people. Like me - Nice. Multifaceted too. Like me. And they stick by me - have done so for aeons now, through my insanities et al!
At times like this when I realise how much they have supported me, how much they mean to me, I send up a quick prayer of thanks to God. I didn't much believe in prayers either you know. I thought of it as a way of blackmailing God. Be True To Yourself I'd say, That's Enough. If He Exists, he will come to your aid when you need Him. Then in my feminist phase I said is He a He? Why not a She?
Then my mother was in the hospital. And I needed Him to fix things. The doctors would do their bit, but someone had to make sure they didn't mess up, right? Who else but Him or Her? Who cared about the gender then!
So I'd pray. Go to temples. Believe.
I don't visit the temple anymore. I feel you should do so only when there is a depth of feeling inside you that urges you to go there, not out of habit or routine. But I pray. Every once in a while I thank Him (or Her) for what I have.
Thank Ye!!!

Thoughts On A Rainy Morning
- Why is it necessary for people to wear contact lenses to be "cool"? What's wrong with the "intellectual" look?
- Did I commit a crime by being "nice"?
- Whats wrong in being single? Why does one feel lonely if one is single, independant and leading an uncomplicated life?
- Why must people assume that someone else will do their work for nothing - not once, not twice but everytime? Do those people carry around a billboard saying "Hey I'm Doing Charity Work!Come To Me If You Have Work You Don't Wanna Be Bothered With"?
- Why are dogs so cute, and not men? I wish I could train men as easily!!
-Enough for Now!!

The Best Mirror Is An Old Friend
-Gems may be precious, but friends are priceless.
-A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.
-The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
-A friend is a gift you give yourself.
-A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.
-Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.
-When friends stop being frank and useful to each other, the whole world loses some of its radiance.
-It is a sweet thing, friendship, a dear balm, A happy and auspicious bird of calm...
-Friendship is always a sweet responsibilty, never an oppourtunity.
-Friends are God's way of taking care of us. If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend.

Mantra Of The Month
"There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes."
-A Firm Belief, for silly joys exist in childhood, and that is why I still indulge in my love for Enid Blyton's and revel in returning to those peace-filled days of childhood.
"Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."
-I've made many a mistake, but I hope to learn from them
