listening to:khamosh ho – vital signs

(i am aware of the patheticity of this post’s title. Read on.)

Remove from the stains from the white canvas that is your heart. It’s been too long now, it’s time to become pure again. To start out with a new beginning which is all yours to script. Nobody’s stopping you…shrug off those chains that you conjured in your mind and fly. Those wings are there, we all have them. Why we hold ourselves down is a question only we can ask ourselves, and one only we can answer.

(not-so)Random thought #232934

It should be simple, that’s all I guess. Not as simple as those ‘by the way’ things because, it’s so obviously NOT a by-the-way thing, but simple nonetheless.

How would you like to be proposed to? Yeah, like not the recently-discovered-latest-teen-fad-desi-not-so proposal (read: asking out); the real thing.

Not that there will be too many, or even a single one to say the least but for those who read this blog and have already crossed that hill: how did it go for you?

PS: Oh, and just for the record, it’s alright if your answer involves a tea tray. To each his own, i say!

word of the day:home

Is be very relaxing here.

Current state : a huge big sack of mixed emotions. Confused. Even the weather is confused. Everyone is confused, everything is confusing.

Call of the day: nodding and smiling and pretending you’re understanding what’s going on…until it’s all over.

word of the day: prioritise!

The beauty of inner-beauty is that it’s not as complicated as external beauty. While external beauty requires a whole lot of upkeep and maintenance, inner-beauty is simply the inner-self, recognized and defined. There’s not much you can do to it rather than discover it and be quite pleased with the results.

The journey’s difficult, but when you’re there, it’s bound to bring you peace. Let’s hope we can all choose the right paths on that journey and make it to where we all need to be – at peace with ourselves.

Just put down Kahlil Gibran’s “The Storm : Stories and prose poems“ (translated by John Walbridge)

I’m speechless, in awe and everything along those lines, which would still be an understatement.

Fave quote from book coming soon…

Recently discovered another one of those songs that “do” it for you – regards to S!

Ha! to F : now roomie, myself and (i assume) M have found the reason to melt too, here it goes…

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That’s leading me
To the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You’re everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won’t let me fall
You steal my heart
And you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper, now…
- Lifehouse

listening to: el cheapo ringtones

I’ve been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank till I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo’s rifle, Marilyn’s shampoo
And Benny Goodman’s corset and fan

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I’m not the kind of girl you’d take home

word of the day:crapbag

Ladies and gentlemen, being repeatedly kicked when your down is one of the best things possible for your well-being. Seriously, you should try it sometime – or at least ask someone to help you out. A whole circle of people with you in the middle. It’ll teach you how to appreciate those who’ll move back, those who help you up, those who keep kicking you like there’s no tomorrow.
No tomorrow.

No, tomorrow. Tomorrow’s the day it’ll all be alright. That’s when the crowds would have moved out of sight, your “circle” of friends would have dispersed (but are still within arm’s reach) and the random observers would be smiling.

It’s a good life.

Ha.

…dard ki yaad mein bhi dard hai, behtar yeh tha…

This is wrong. It’s so wrong. Someone stop me.
Throw me to the ground.
Pick me up and show me the right direction.

I have faith in only You. Help.
