"Why?Why?Why did you need him?   Where was i?  Just how close to you is he?   Every smile you gave,  every touch you made,  every word you said. "   One Eskimo - Kandi IPL 3, 2010,  Royal Challengers Bangalore were in the semis again, after IPL 2. And we were playing Mumbai Indian. Considering Kolkata Knight Riders didn't make it to the semis this year, my obvious second choice was RCB (like last year) Few friends of mine and I went to watch the match in Hall Of Fame, a sports bar in Hyderabad.We had quite a few MI supporters amongst us, who mind you, were supporting Mumbai, only because they didn't like Bangalore. Random i know yes, but they didn't even let us lose in peace. We lost the match twice- once when we gave away 77 runs in the last 5 overs to MI and second - when our batting order collapsed. Bangalore lost by 35 runs, thus qualifying MI to the Finals to be p...

Aankhein bandh kar lo jo main Dekhon bas tumhe, khwabon mein hi keh sakta hoon apna tumhe Rehne de mera yeh veham pe yakeen Na ja abhi Pyaar ki yeh raat hai ab na ja chotti si ek baat hai ab na ja Palash Sen Ab Na Ja - Euphoria Ab Na ja…..One of my all time favorites by Euphoria. Euphoria: a band that sings about hope, love, hate, death, loyalty, disloyalty, a king,a queen, two puppets, a boat, a sailor guided by the stars, of undying love and loads and loads more.

Euphoria – a band with a name that captures the feeling their music brings. I dont even know why i started with Ab na Ja. Maybe it’s synonymous with this friend of mine. Dimple.

"Who can say where the road goes, Where the day flows, only time? And who can say if your love grows, As your heart choose, only time?" Enya - Only Time I remember a time when I was in the 7th std, thinking to myself about how awesome life will be if I had no unit tests to prepare for, no projects to submit, didn’t have a debate which i needed to rehearse for, no teachers to face just in case i hadn’t done my homework. Basically how cool it would be if we were all grown up. Now I know, this growing up is just plain overrated. You have Unit tests at every step which have worse-er implications if you fail. You need to have a plan for life and where its going and what you are doing with it and that is your lifetime project. You need to answer people you love, and people you hate and you better have answers ready- that’s your debate. And you will find yourself looking up to that One teacher up there for help, for courage, to thank and to question. Today, s...
