I need a sign to let me know you’re here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
‘Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said
I need a sign to let me know you’re here
‘Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
When children have to play inside so they don’t disappear
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don’t talk for years
And futbol teams are kissing Queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it’s ours
I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels

who do v blame?
A 16 yr old girl was raped a few days ago by a cop in the marine drive police station.She had gone wid her frnds to inquire bout some central exam forms.On the way back the cop scared her frnds away n then raped her.In the office of law enforcement.Cud nethin b more ironic?
Social activist all over mumbai are organsing protests to bring the officer to justice.Personally i wud shoot him in the head n then feed his remains to vultures.But the law dosnt work that way.Authorities claim that the cop in ques was irresponsible n often came to work,drunk.So y wasnt he fired?I wish i was there to take part in those protests.
But thats not y im writin this blog.Shiv Sena,came up wid a ppr couple of days ago which says 'There seems to b a copmetition among girls as to who'll wear the lowest jeans.Wid girls showing off their underwear,who do v blame?'Who do v blame?!!Well..lets c.How bout blaming every man who can even comprehend that he can touch a woman w/o her permission?How bout blaming the eveteasers that hang around girls colleges?How bout blaming every pervert that walks the streets?N how bout blaming the law enforcement officer who thought he cud rape a 16 yr old kid?No that dosnt make political sense.So lets blame the girls who thought they were living in a free country.Lets blame the 'bad western culture'.Lets blame the girl who left her house not knowing a drunk cop wud ruin her life that day.
I have nuthin against shiv sena.Infact the party has raised some issues that make sum sense to me.But it seems that the party just needs an excuse to blame the west.Being progressive doesnt mean forgetting one's roots.N even if it does,its nobody's buisness.'Who do v blame?' is not a question.Its just an evidence of the hypocrisy that still exists in our society n proves that democracy is just an illusion.

movie buff(chapter 2)
I dont even kno what time it is but i was pgming n the soundtrack of this movie began to play so im writin this long overdue blog.
JERRY McGUIRE:
Confession:im not a tom cruise fan.infact i can barely stand him.But this movie is diff.U cant help but adore him,n every other charachter in the movie.
Story:Jerry Mcguire is a hot shot sports agent workin wid a top sports agency.He's also about to get married.Dorothy is an accountant n single mom workin in the same firm.She is secretly in love wid jerry,who dosnt kno she even exists.Everythin is goin well until Jerry suddenly suffers frm an emotional crisis.So 1 night he begins to write.He writes a mission stmt bout how the agency shud cut clients.Less money,but more attention for their clients,n distributes it in the firm.He's fired the next day.In his dramatic exit frm the firm,he challenges to start his own firm,n asks if ne of the employees wants to join him.Needless to say Dorothy does,w/o thinkin twice.But now Jerry has no job,no clients except for a outta form football player(Cuba Gooding Jr).He even brks up wid his girlfrnd. On his path to self discovery Jerry falls in love wid Dorothy n his 5 yr old son n marry's her.However the pressure gets to him n he ends up screwing the marriage.The rest of the movie is all bout how he get's his life n marriage back on track.
The movie is so great because:
1.Cuba Gooding Jr who also won an oscar for the role is awesome in the movie.
2.Tom Cruise is more than convincing as a man tryin to find his place in a cynical world.
3.The movie has some of my fav dialogues n scenes like 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!!',n zelwegger's 'i love him for the man he is,n the man he wants to b' n ofcourse who can forget the climax scene in which jerry goes to dorothy's house n gives the 'u complete me' speech.
Jerry Mcguire is not a movie to b missed.
Here's the title track of the movie.It's awesome!
SECRET GARDEN -Bruce Springsteen.
She’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin’ late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
But there’s a secret garden she hides
She’ll let you in her car
To go drivin’ round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That’ll bring you down
She’ll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don’t think twice
You’ve gone a million miles
How far’d you get
To that place where you can’t remember
And you can’t forget
She’ll lead you down a path
There’ll be tenderness in the air
She’ll let you come just far enough
So you know she’s really there
She’ll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

Depressing
I just found out that the rain on Wednesday tht made me so happy took 2 ppl's lives.A domestic servant and her 10 yr old daughter were goin home frm work wen it started to rain.They took shelter in a building under construction wen a few bricks fell on them because of the storm,killing them instantly.May they rest in peace.Sometimes i wonder if god even exists.

5' 2" above the ground !
Thats right.Im 5'2" tall,or shud say 5'2" short.Im a small person.Ull probably never spot me in a crowd.So many times im mistaken for a kid.But im a small person wid a big heart.Atleast i like i tell myself that.
Wanna kno the worst part?My kid brother(14 months younger to me) is 6 feet tall.So wenever v go out ppl say "Ur the elder 1??!!".Yeah,yeah.Well atleast i wont have to lie bout my age wen i grow up!Then vll c who has the last laugh.In school I was the tallest among the short girls.Wen i used to tell my parents that,they wud have a good laugh for about an hour.Then they wud say "Oh! dont feel bad!small girls look like dolls!".Now that wud really really piss me off.
The problem wid being short is that miss out on a lot of things.Like u cant reach the topmost shelf of the cupboard n ur struggling on ur toes,n then ur frnd walks in,lifts her hand n asks in that wierd sarcastic tone,"What do u want frm up there?" Grrrr!!Secondly u can spend an hour dressing up but ull never look half as hot as the girl who's just a couple of inches taller to u.Whats worse,i have a phobia towards high heels!Another excuse for my best frnd Amiya,to nag me.So im short and i dont wear heels!Thats just great.God is just way too kind to me.There was a time wen i was about 16 wen the bus conductor asked me if i wanted a full or half ticket.I swear i wanted to hit him so badly!Why the hell do u have to b tall neways?Just to fit the standards set by good for nuthin,anorexic magazine cover models?Im very happy being short,....i think.Atleast i can still fit into the clothes i bought wen i was 13.Im dead serious.
Good things come in small packages.So here i am 5'2" above the ground n im very happy being here.The good thing bout being short is that ur always underestimated.One of my fav things in the world is to perform on stage wid my band.Im up there wid ppl i love,wid ppl who love music as much as i do,n in front of ppl who love music as much as i do.Thats wen i feel tall.Another thing,im gonna learn to wear high heels one day.Infact 1 day ppl r goin to admire how graceful i look in heels.Thats a promise.R u reading this Amiya?So all u ppl out there who always felt short,there r plenty of ways of being tall.N to my band,thank u for makin me feel so tall.

I wish i was 7 again....
Somethings happen in life for some vague reason n they make u change ur perspective on any n everything.I seem to have some kinda wierd pact wid god.Wenever i feel my lowest,he does sumthin funny or joyful or unexpected for me.I think he's my personal shrink.He knows wen i really need my little miracles.He gives them to me without asking.
Right know im passing thru 1 of the lowest phases in my life.For numerous reasons that i cant explain.So what does he do?Yest wen i was about to leave for my evening walk,it started to rain.Rain like nethin.It was beautiful.There is sumthin so joyful bout the rain.Specially if its in the middle of April.I ran to my balcony n enjoyed 30mins .I jumped,got wet,had the best time iv had in weeks!I was 7 again.
Iv realised sumthin.U must never miss n opportunity to b a kid.Im not sayin chidish.Im sayin u gotta b childlike every now n then.Like dance in the rain,cycle,run...not jog,run!,play hide n seek etc.Never fails.
30mins later i was a new person.Like all the bad parts of my life had faded away atleast for a while.Felt like a new me.Things r so clear n right wen ur a kid.Even a candy bar is a dream come true.What happens wen u grow older??U take things for granted.Not knowing how fortunate u were to have it.Thats y i wanna b 7 again.For know im just goin to thank god for giving me my rainy evening wen i really needed 1.

love actually....(Chapter 1)
I read this book once which inspired this post.Here's a line frm it.
'The good part about love is that it makes u feel like a child everytime u c the one u love,it makes u wanna brush ur teeth everytime u go out and u feel a high greater than the high u wud get wid tonnes of alcohol or dope.The bad part is,it causes a lot of pain,is the reason why ppl celebarate Valentine's Day,and is the inspiration to numerous Celine Dion songs.' The author of this book is my Guru.More theories on LOVE coming soon.

nightingale...
Every summer i listen to a lot of Norah Jones songs.Dunno y.Just her music is very much like summer.Neways here is a song by her .It pretty much describes my state of mind right now
Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
NightingaleTell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
Does it seem like I'm looking for an answerTo a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if i should blow it to the left
All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

80386 rocks!
Im just studying 80386 processor protected mode n i think its the coolest piece of machinery!The developments frm 286 to 386 are so amazing!Everything frm the segmentation,privileges,paging etc are completley diff frm the 286.Its like all the concepts v studied in 8086 were so useless.386 is such a no nonsense machine.Intel so totally rocks.Also Turly is the best book i have ever read in my entire life!Better than Tanenbaum,zacky or Gaonkar.I love MBS.Ne 386 protected mode fans,pls comment.

just read this somewhere:
did u ever wonder the person in the puddle is real n ur just the reflection? :-calvin
think about it.
did u ever wonder the person in the puddle is real n ur just the reflection? :-calvin
think about it.
My Little Balcony
Everybody has their own hiding places.A place where v go to get away from it all.For me its my little balcony.Its a cute little round balcony 6 floors above the ground.It overlooks a small road.U know, one of those cute back roads in residential areas.The road is lined wid those yellow street lights and it looks great in the night.I wonder y the govn has started installing white street lights in some places,it looks hideousThe view frm the balcony is amazing.U can c buildings from every angle.Some concrete jungle.Its actually not that bad.
My fav part of the day is frm 11-11:30 in the night.I like to call it the 'happy hour'.This is the time which i always spend in the balcony.Everybody is asleep,there is no noise,no disturbance.Time to think n reason.Its amazing how a busy city like Pune turns so quiet in the night.U can c ppl taking their night walks,street vendors heading home.U can hear an occasional utensil fall in a distant house.U can actually hear trucks driving on the nearby highway.In winters u can hear the train whistle!Its almost magical!Time to think some more....so many 'life sucks' s n 'why does this always happen to me?'.So many questions,so little answers.Who wants to kno the answers neways.Half an hour is over.I cud stay in the balcony for the whole night just thinking.But there are pgms to b completed n assignments to submit.Today,for atleast half an hour,i was completely happy.Thats enough to get me thru the next day.
This is one song i love to hear during the happy hour:
The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moonAnd miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?
Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give inIt's all over
When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

summer time
Hey people,i kno its been a long time n i kno u guys have missed me.Problem is my computer is not working n my vendor thinks hes gods gift to computers.Neways thios blog is bout summer time.I love summers.I love Pune.I love summers in Pune.So many memories.Dont have summer break nemore but i used to, n it was 2 months of bliss!Summer is so much fun.If u leave out the time betn 11 to 4,the weather is pretty good.The moring is cool,the nights are warm wid cool breeze blowing.Wonderful!N pune ppl are so chilled out all the time.Wenever u feel tired,just drive down to the nearest coffee shop n gulp down a glass of chilled ice tea.Get out ur shorts n khakis n just lounge at a frnds place or sumthin.Swim to ur hearts content.Everybody is allowed in everybody's pool.Loads of fun.Pune is great during summers,i hate metros,i hope it dosent turn into 1.Now the 2 reasons that i love most bout summer are:1.Watermelons.2.Mangoes(alphanso)Watermelons:There are loads of these in the market in summer.Here's how u eat it:On ur evening walk(this is a must in summers),buy 1.Now go home,dont drink water.Cut the watermelon into cubes,n keep in the freezer for 5 mins.Get it out,sprinkle salt,n eat wid a fork in the balcony.Amazing!If u have some left,send some to the neighbours.
Mangoes,Alphanso Mangoes:I think mango is the greatest fruit in the world.A ripe alphanso mango is simply divine!Here's how u eat it:On a hot summer afternoon,before lunch,put some mangoes in a bucket of cool water.Eat only 70% of the lunch u wud normally eat.Now wear ur old clothes(coz mango stains CANNOT be removed),n sit on the floor to eat the alphanso.Never slice or dice the mango,thats just an insult to it.Remove the cover carefully n eat the whole thing.This is a technique which u will only master wid practice.If u want my dad can coach u.I can eat around 3 mangoes at a time,but remember too many mangoes,very bad for the stomach.More summer tips will b posted soon.Cya.
