A special one..

Is it just me.. or does anyone else too feel this song has some magic in it... Still ! Especially the female portions sung by Shreya Ghoshal. Upteenth time that I am listening to this masterpiece by Rahman..and everytime, it just carries me to this special place deep within me, where perhaps love dwells unblemished..

Such a simple piece of music, such simple words.. but yet, what a mesmerizing backlash it leaves me in !

Last Summer - Part 2

My Diary: Summer of 2020...

I had always thought, that the hardest thing I ever did was to let you go .... until this day, when years down the road, I had to walk past you and pretend not to know you...

-Meera.

Hmmm....

Something is fatally wrong with me... Or it could be that I have come to terms with my long term boy friend Mr. Laziness and we've finally decided to live-in together!! Yes, whatever it is I am gripped by this insane feeling of feeling nothing towards anything! How else would you describe this.. Normally I would've, by now, made a list of things-to-do on such a beautiful friday evening ..a list of my fav things .. which typically goes like this .. dust up some old dvds out of the box and spent a good 20 minutes trying to decide on which one to start with before I finally flip-in the same old comedy hit of the 80's, the one I know every single dialogue of.. grab a book, which I always know I would not go beyond the 20th page, (Jeez.... what's with me and the number 20!) and settle into the comfort of my green fat cushion snuggling under the warm blanket, sipping the yummy strawberry smoothie I made.. Ha! Sheer bliss!

And now, I don't feel like doing any of these! I absolutely hate the idea of hanging out with friends which would have been second in the list after all of that above!

I dread the thought of shopping, which I always considered was what I actually got married to before my husband came along!

SIGH

So with that note, I am gonna go for a deeper introspection of whatever frenzy has posessed me and hopefully, I would fall back in place, sometime soon. Wish me luck!

What’s your word? What is that single word that defines you..that identifies the most part of you?

Well, it’s not me who asks this.. But if you have read (or rather seen) Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat Pray Love” you would know what I am talking about.

A li’l late, but I’ve finally laid my hands on this book.. And guess what! I am absolutely loving it!! Its only an absolute proof of how much this book has enthralled me that though only half way thru, I have by now, at least a zillion times, whispered “I understand, I’ve been there” ! (to Liz)


This other question I quoted, - a word that defines me, has left me in anguish throughout the day, while I scour through innumerable words, one of which would probably be me! As Liz rightly said, I know a lot many words that “I am not” but the one word that I am, is still out there somewhere waiting to be unleashed! But I’m only half way through, remember? So I will, hopefully, stumble upon it .. ....... soon!

And when sometimes, one or the other of my friends turn out to be a sweetheart and gift me BOOKS, though they, the books, find a very special place in my heart, they do not often accomplish the one purpose of their sheer existence - to be read! But this one- Pats, I love you more for rekindling my energy, and by the time I am done, (I still donno how the book would end but hopefully) I would end up falling in love, yet again, with this “Dolce Vita “ (Sweet life!) and I sure owe you one!

All those in quotes above (“ “) are excerpts from Elizabeth Gilbert’s "Eat Pray Love"!

Dear God.

I have a strange fondness for reading my Zodiac character chart whenever I come across one.(I am a Geminian btw! ) and by now I know the out-and -out of the entire Geminian traits ! But the next time I find a similar chronicle, I would yet again be snoopy!

And now...

Dear God,

You are looking at the wrong page in ur guidelines manual! You are getting it all wrong with me these days! It ain't matching with the "Gemini Woman " I read just now.. :( (Ok, at least not a few important traits! You obviously know what I am talking about!!)

Please double check! And if you still feel you are right, could you try skipping a few pages??!!!

Anxious,

Karthika

....

I know this song ..

once my favourite !

I used to sing along..

words streamed without a hitch!

Now, after all these years, I heard it again!

But this time, I couldn't catch up with the words..

Blame it on my memory

Or on my heart,

bleached by the scar the song left in the past!

.......

Sometimes it’s good to concede to Silence is it?

I think I fear of being judged by the moment!!!
