Billboards that Rock!!

Funnies!

Something for everybody!!

What I am listening to!!

This blog was supposed to start differently ..
i wanted to talk about a song which a friend of mine , had recommended and write about that song.Simultaneously ,i also went on to do some research on the certain british rock bands and i came across a few interesting artists . I liked the Ocean Colour Scene and Cary Brothers.. and they were surprisingly good.Their music is a part of jam/alternative rock like Dave mathews band. But they posses a unique sound... very much like coldplay!Here , i have one of their songs ,it's a cover of a Billy Idol song, sung really well by this English rock band called "Ocean Colour Scene" ! The song's called Robin Hood...

When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
Its inspirational
When your life is a mess light one more cigarette
Its so logical

Well its something your mother cant abide
But its something that I freely prescribe

Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and I played robin hood
Stealing from the back rooms of my mind
Remembering a time when we were five
A time I thought wed left behind

When Im starting to cry
Come and sit by my side
I will love you so
And when nightmares come
I will try to be fun, even though;
Im so scared you know

Well its something your mother cant abide
But its something that I freely prescribe

Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and I played robin hood
Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time I thought wed left behind

Stealing from the backrooms of our minds
Stealing from a time when we were five
A time I thought wed left behind

When youre starting to choke take some pills with your coke
Its hysterical!

...And i ended writing about these bands!!
Watch this space!

Can the real Indians please stand up!!

I recently read an article in The Hindu , about Russell Peters and how the junta in India didn't like his brand of humor, and I was really not surprised! Indian audiences , are not exposed to stand up comedy. I don't think they understand 'spelling out the obvious and laughing at it'. It's contrived and its real ... and often rude! But that's Stand Up Comedy. If we weren't too busy taking ourselves seriously , we could have a good time with Russell Peters. He is articulate , funny and he is right!

Stand Up is a competitive field and one of our own has rocked the boat in the USA and Canada... making the Indian appeal universal! So all my dear Indian friends ... let your hair down and have some whacky fun !

My tattoo!!

This is my proudest possession till date, the phoenix tattooed on the back of my shoulder! Getting the tattoo was a subliminal experience. It was etching each and every incident of my life on myself! Now I hear that tattooing is very addictive post facto , which i agree to, cos i wanna get another done ! Anyone thinking about getting a tattoo done, don't think too much, just decide on the design and go for it!!

Paradox...transience...imagination....Duh?

Hey !! Its been a long time ....well more than a year than i blogged! My life has turned topsy turvy by a series of rather fortunate accidents which have lead me to this particular road in life! I am not particularly complaining , it could have been worse! Nevertheless , instead of perusing my last year and boring myself with the quite mundane episodes that have dictated my life , i will move on what is currently occurring ; "Nothing!"

"Nothing!" is what is currently dictating my life .It seems ironical , that a single word can encompass an entire gamut of feelings and expressions. The paradox of all paradoxes. How can a single word express everything?

A paradox is defined as "A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true." Then , well my life has been that. How can something transient be permanent? That's what I have been trying to accomplish. To hold something transient, sculpt it into concrete so that it becomes permanent at least in my mind.Well the object of my ephemeral desire has moved on and so has my mind !

P.S : Please ignore this mindless bullshit!! will make an effort to write something of further uselessness in the future.
