was on the terrace... spaced out for a bit, looking at the sky...the sun, the clouds.. when i first looked, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, hardly visible to the eye. then, just as i was looking, started emerging bit by bit. concentrating, i tried noticing the 'movements'...but no show. it was just...there. hidden, emerging, but still there, just the same.

ofcourse it was the clouds moving, covering it. but the romantic, no logic state that my brain was in, it didn't strike me immediately. when it struck me, i couldn't help laughing at myself. those first few classes of science, of EVS. genius! duh!

and then another random thought came to my mind...isn't it how we are, how life is? a game of hide and seek...what we wish for, that source of all motivation..it's right there, our 'sun'. always. it;s just that we don't look for it the right way..let ourselves get distracted by the 'clouds'... we're so busy figuring out the blanket we forget what it was that we were looking for, our 'sun'.. to us, it's our sun that's dodging us, avoiding us, slipping out of our hands, leaving us bewildered. whereas it's always right there, where it was when aimed for it. just the clouds got thicker and blocked our view. how we do refuse to look at things straight, yeah? i do...all the time. yet, when the realization comes in, it never fails to amaze me...

hmmm...funny how i've never noticed this. or rather, noticed it but never paid attention to it. or likelier still, never been jobless enough?
hell, deepak chopra and robin sharma would be proud of me right now... heh.

i'm happy. quite inexplicably so. have been like this for a couple of days now. why? no idea. bu this scares me. whenever i AM like this, it usually results in a bit of an anticlimax! ah well..just gotta keep reminding myself to prioritise! :)
quite a few things to look forward to actually...meeting a really old friend, meeting some new people, meeting up with some of my favorite people!
books...so many i've stacked up! movies..! music..! markets! gym! CLASSES!
bwahaha!

MY WISH LIST FOR THE NEW YEAR


1. complete my CA course, get my degree.

2. lose weight, get in shape (yessss!)

3. brush up my driving and navigation skills.

4. finally take up photography, try new things with the camera, get a decent editing software and play around with it till i figure it out.

5. meditate...build up on concentration and focus.

6. keep confusion and chaos at a minimum.

7. unclutter my mind, and my surroundings. think ideas and words through before expressing them out loud.

8. take up sketching again.

9. join a language course

10. start working

12. try and give shape to the ideas that come up in my head and build on them, instead of just thinking about them and never doing anything about them. (yes, i know this one sounds pretty vague. but well...)

13. remove the word 'try' from my vocab, and actually DO things that need to be done...CHUCK the laziness and procrastination away... get off my ass and actually do things that need to be done..

14. brush up my culinary skills... and in a variety of things at that, so that, by the end of the year am able to prepare a decent meal, all on my own.

15. actually do all these things on my wish and not to forget about any of them!

Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein

Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein...
Ye tumhari meri baatein
Hamesha yun hi chalti rahe
Ye humari mulakatein
Hamesha yun hi chalti rahe
Beetein yun hi apne saare, din raat
Baaton se nikalthi rahe, naye baat
Phir wahi baatein le ke
Geet koi hum likhe
Jo dil ko, han sab ke dil ko choolein
Baatein suro mein yun hi pigalthi rahein
Baatein geetho mein yun hi dhalthi rahein

Oooo…oooo…oooo…
Na na na na..nana na na.. oooo…
Geethon mein huh humko
Khushi on se hum sajaade
Jo sune kahe woh hum se, gaana

Ye tumhari meri baatein
Hamesha yun hi chalti rahe
Ye humari mulakatein
Hamesha yun hi chalti rahe
Beetein yun hi apne saare, din raat
Baaton se nikalthi rahe, naye baat
Phir wahi baatein le ke
Geet koi hum likhe
Jo dil ko, han sab ke dil ko choolein
Baatein suro mein yun hi pigalthi rahein
Baatein geetho mein yun hi dhalthi rahein

EDGE OF THE OCEAN- IVY

There's a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won't you take me there with you.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
By the edge of the ocean
We can start over again

There's a world I've always known
Somewhere far away from home
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and the mystery

Ohhh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
By the edge of the ocean
We can start over again

Oohhh, we can begin again
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in
By the edge of the ocean
We can start over again
By the edge of the ocean
we can start over again

sha nah nah nah nah nah nah
sha nah nah
sha nah nah
sha nah nah nah nah nah nah
sha nah nahsha nah nah

LOVE

Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you, You and me,
Love is knowing, We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
Love is needing to be loved.
- John Lennon

SHE'S STILL A WOMAN TO ME

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Bridge

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--
- Billy Joel
