I'll be back ...sooner than soon :-D

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I think I know when I'll be back again
Oh, baby, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I think I know when I'll be back again
Oh, baby, I hate to go


Just a matter of one week...

Food for thought!

Came across the following as a forward...Makes sense so put it up
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.

I am so happy, I feel out-of-this-world

I am so happy, I could jump and reach out to the sun
I am so happy, over the ocean I could run
I am so happy, I could spread my wings and fly
I am so happy, I could tear apart the sky
I am so happy, I could compose a thousand melodies
I am so happy, I could script a million movies
I am so happy, my joy knows no bound
I am so happy, my feet won't touch the ground
I am so happy, I want to unlearn everything
and make room for more joy, ecstasy, elation, delight and sheer frenzy!

Am gearing for yet another Rockstar to grace my home in a few months :-D

Congratulations Sherly!

One of my very dearest friend delivered a baby girl on 15th Jan... (will soon dedicate a poem... have something in mind) Wish I could hold her in my arms...but she is miles and miles away... Come to think of it...Sherly's sister's son was the first new born kid I ever held... It was very unnerving... but now am pretty much a pro... I better be... bundle of joy is expected in my family this year :-D

Back in the hi-life again!

Have been frightfully busy... not that I am not right now... but just that I miss blogging..

Happy Birthday, Bong-Shell!

It's tough to describe what you mean to me...
Just couldn't gather the right words,
So I thought I'd let E E Cummings do the honours...
He has brilliantly captured the essence that I wanted to express:

I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

I am never without it
anywhere I go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling
I fear no fate
for you are my fate, my sweet
I want no world
for beautiful you are my world, my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart

Rajdhani - Royalty Defined!

The other day I visited Rajdhani after a very long time. By far it is the best joint to savour vegetarian food. They specialize in Thaalis. Apart from the food, what I found most interesting is the hospitality of the staff. It's like a buffet system, but just that you don't have to help yourself, the waiters will serve you. Believe me when I say they pamper you to no end. Royalty is THE word. There are around 7 to 8 waiters tending you. Each is given the task of handling some 3 to 4 dishes. Now they do not converse with each other at all. They just raise their hands and indicate the number to be served at any particular table. Very unique and interesting, need I add.

A new dawn has come...
