Playing it Cold

Hectic, hectic day to say the least. Will be the same the entire week and probably the weekend too. Day dreams are kind of far away now. Reality seems to be taking over me. To be frank it doesn't feel good at all! Its sort of like I have lost my passion and playing it cold. Longing for warmth and some fire to ignite my innards.

Fell in love with the Coldplay song Yes. Strangely soothing. Its about emotional and physical longing. About being tired of the creepy loneliness. Creepy in the sense, you have a dark void in spite of having people around you. Somehow the song makes a lot of sense. The lyrics are a dead giveaway, but more importantly the music itself. The chanty vocals and the oriental bridges blended with some soothing guitar. My favourite song from Viva La Vida, the new album.

When it started, we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes
When it started, we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in the daylight

There we were dying of frustration
Singing, 'Lord lead me not into temptation'
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

So, up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
Dizzily screaming, 'Let the windows down'
As I crawl to the ground

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Pappoos Training Programme

Hello (again) Inspite of hectic schedule I have come to address you people for elaborating on some points... 1. He is a lair. (Me: *yaaawn*) 2. He is a born lair (Me: *zzzzz*) 3. He is 500 miles away from me or else.... (Me: *snuggles pillow *) Yours Lovingly Pappu So the training program began. Since our hero had a critical hear condition, the programme was a capsule,crash course... Pappoos: *blushes, smiles, shakes his head* Neo: *slaps Pappoos* Lesson one...stop doing that! Gentlemaanyan (GM from now on): Close your eyes...concentrate...till you see 'the white light and deep brown tranquil depths'... Garfield: We ain't talking about you, dumbo! (That is a novel on its own, we will think about it later :D) Pappoos: My training??? Neo: Ok. First... Garfield: I thought we were done with that. I'll take the repeat lesson! *slaps Pappoos across his face* Neo: I meant second. (GM restrains Pappoos while Neo and Garfield takes cover) Neo: Enough play. Welcome to the real wo...
