The lyrics of another one of my favourite songs....



ALWAYS

-BON JOVI


This romeo is bleeding
But you can’t see his blood
It’s nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It’s been raining since you left me
Now I’m drowning in the flood
You see I’ve always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can’t sing a love song
Like the way it’s meant to be
Well, I guess I’m not that good anymore
But baby, that’s just me

And I will love you, baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don’t rhyme
And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
And I’ll love you - always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I’d give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I’ve made mistakes, I’m just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear
I’ll wish I was him ’cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There’s no price I won’t pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain’t no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We’ll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don’t rhyme
And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
And I’ll love you - always

You're Barbie but I'm not Ken !!!!!!!

We could have been so good
You and I
Better than the best
A bonafide creative force
I would have been so proud
to wear your name
across my chest
Baby O' baby of course
we could have been better
than the best moment...

Did you see this vision too?
Just Me an You?
Taking the planet by storm
Putting mother nature to shame
wearing the hottest threads
Strapping the nicest clips in the game
Cashing in on all the colors of chips
Breaking speed limits
by the finest whips!

Baby girl don't you blame me
a single second
for wanting you to be mine

I thank your parents
EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
And I know
the best way
to honour them in kind
is to let you go
In my heart and in my mind

I'm always going to love you baby
everything about you is refreshingly nice

I love your style, your smile
and all that you are NOT.

I 'd rather let you go now
with all those beautiful thoughts
that were. For a while there, you were
my sunshine but never were you MINE,
not a single day as you say but that's ok.
that's the way it was meant to be.

CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD

DISCLAIMER: my intention is not to hurt anybody’s religious sentiments and want to apologize to all those who feel that the views expressed here are inappropriate…but I have been wanting to express my views on this topic for a long time and so I have done.


I hope my viewpoint comes across.


BANG! I wake up with a start;
"It was only a dream ",I say to myself;
I lay in bed;
Collecting my thoughts.



Hindus killing Muslims;
Muslims doing the same;
All this in the name of religion;
Driving the world insane.


The maulvis and pandits;
At the core of it all;
Instigating brothers against each other;
That is their job after all.


Temples decimated;
Mosques demolished;
The mother raped,then killed;
The father slaughtered.


The child,orphaned, walks through crimson fields;
Trying to figure out what has happened;
But there's no-one to answer him;
He's left dazed and confused.

He wanders around aimlessly;
Yearning for the comforting face of his Maa;
His ears aching to hear his Abba's call;
But he sees nor hears nothing.


The gory blanket covering the dead scares him;
That deafening silence very discomforting;
He wants to cry,but there's no-one to turn to;
He holds back his tears and moves on.


The child has grown;
His parents no more;
The maulvis and pandits still exist;
Need I say more.


Now it's his turn to go through the grind;
Like thousands before him;
The "wise men"trying to manipulate his mind;
But he has made his choice and so must we;


Humanity above all religions;


That is the way to proceed.....

Listen to ur heart, f*ck the mind

Its quite uncanny how often we engage ourselves in a mental tiff over what is right and what's not, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. And invariably, the reason why that happens is because of the damned mind! The heart says something, and the mind always decides to go against it, as if to say, oh, lets have a bit of fun with this dumbass. We have all heard this shit a million times -- "Always follow what your heart says"...blah blah n some more blah, but seldom do we actually practise it. If we did, then we'd never be confused in life and there never would be those ugly fights and quarrels. Well, 'never' is probably a little too strong a word, but you get the point. Following your heart may not always be the right thing, but you'll never regret following it, because you did what you felt was right and if you trust yourself enough, then you will never regret your decisions. Give it a thought, in any situation, its always the heart that speaks up first, and you feel tempted to go ahead with it.. Why? Because that is what will make you happy, thats what will give you satifaction... but no! the immediate next moment, your brain steps in (as if not to get left behind) and it makes you 'THINK', and think over trifling matters...

A simple example - imagine, you have met this really lovely person and your getting to know her; you probably have developed a slight crush on this person as well, and you feel that she might be interested in you too. You exchange numbers and what do you then?
Your heart will say, "go ahead call her, or message her".... your head will say, "Wait a bit, wait a bit... let her call you first, see if she's showing interest". And you are left thinking -- should I call her, should I not, what'll she think, is it too early etc etc...

SO WHAT WILL SHE THINK.... that you're being nice, that you're being sweet, nothing wrong there... or she's thinking that you're coming on too strong, that you're expressing interest in her..?? If she's thinking all those things, then she's herself messed up by her 'head'. Im sure you all are getting the drift here....

One casual call or message, and for that you subject yourself to such levels of mental anxiety. The good ol' brain of yours triumphs again! Eliminate that from the equation, and the guy would have probably been spending long hours on the phone with the girl before too long (that again is subject to the compatibility and how well they hit it off.. lol, but atleast he gave himself a chance there)

You've always heard the term...getting "mindfucked"... why is it always that your mind gets fucked... have you ever heard something like getting "heartfucked" ??
You shall never even hear that because you will never go wrong on that front. And even when you do feel heart-aches, or you do suffer heart breaks... its never due to the heart... this is always due to the mind... the damned mind! All those quarrels and those petty fights, those ego problems... its all in the mind, the heart never had anything to do with it, if you love or loved someone, your heart would've always wanted you to sort out the differences, or make it up to her, probably gift her something sweet, give her a nice card maybe, take her out fer dinner... but that ego which germinated in your head, won't let you do any of those things, and will fuel the fire............. a month or two later, your dating someone else, while still trying to get over your heartbreak.

A whole lotta crap, you may say... true! it sure is... and most definitely it will be that head thats saying it. But give it a thought, i've experienced it, we all have sometime or the other... yet we continue to make the same mistakes, we let our minds get the better of us, and the poor old heart gets jostled out for no fault of its own.

Evangelistic as I may sound, but it just irritates me.. why can't people be their natural selves, why do they have to change their thinking to suit others, why are people so conscious about what others are thinking...

Basically, if we all make a conscious effort to follow our hearts, there'll be a tremendous increase in the positive energy, a lot less negativity, a lot more love and caring, everyone's happy, everyone wins.

(Holy crap!! that was longg!! so I can write a whole lotta shit! ;))

A Quote from The Angel's Game

I've just begun reading this one so I can't say whether or not it will earn my universal recommendation. But the opening lines stuck with me for the rest of the day.

"A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a good meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on his is doomed and his soul has a price."
-- from The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafron
