Where were youuuuu.....

"Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless...
....
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted"

I was walking back from office today...yet another typical ordinary day....when one of those cars blurting out music passed by....you know, those guys who must roll down their windows and play their music so loud people can hear em two blocks down.
surprise surprise...they were playing Pink Floyd...Coming Back to Life...
As I write this, I must say, I can hear/feel the guitar strains that commence the song...haaah..
I must say, I felt happier...elated...

Yes, this song always gets me feeling good...can almost feel hair standing up...maybe dancing to the music ;) It is probably because I'm a Pink Floyd fan, but yes....there are many instances when I hear this song and feel all so elated n good...

On a sidenote, I've been to many parts of the US, but I've pretty much not been in any place that plays my selection of music better. The cafeterias here, the cars on the road, restaurants...somehow they share my passions....like the music I like...such a nice n pleasant coincidence!
Btw, the cafeteria had 'Rocky Mountain High' (John Denver) for lunch today ;)...as in, they had it playing for lunchtime...;)

New Notes...

It never ceases to surprise me....there are always so many different artists that I never knew existed...and so many different songs I've never listened to...

For once, I am thankful for this ignorance....and the slow n steady discovery ;)

Just like all those wonderful movies that exist...but you probably dont hear of...there are times when you think u've heard it all...and wish that someone came up with something interesting...something fresh n new...

In such a similiar state of mind I was....as I listened to an interesting bit of music...part of some ad on TV....I picked out the lyrics, googled away ;)
Soon I was on youtube...listening to 'Feels Like Home' by Chantal Kreviazuk...wonderful song...

One thing led to another....and no...we weren't in bed ;)
I ended up listening to many artists I wasn't even aware of...

Here are some:

• Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
• Liz Phair - Why Can't I
• Howie Day - Collide
• Tyler Hilton - (I Ain't) Missing You

And yes, I stumbled on a movie that I'm looking forward to watching...The Notebook...its a love story....and if the youtube videos based on it are any indicator, it must be truly touching...for the romantic at heart ;)

Stuck in a Web....

It is funny & interesting how much we get used to the internet and its facilities....and how dependent we become....

The Net is booming with information sources...news, blogs, maps, feeds, stock quotes....you name it....n its 'on the net'!!!

When I'm in India, I must say that my net-habits are pretty confined...I transact online, I pay bills online....but thats it...I dont remain forever logged on on Gmail or Yahoo messenger...and I dont reply to mails in 'the next 5 min' ;)

Here are some things that I do differently now....and the interesting scenarios:

- I get tickets for a baseball match and it says Seat No, Sector No...Whats Sector No? Where are my seats gonna be? I decide to give it a try and just do a Google....wow!....I get a map of the stadium with seats clearly marked so I know where the game's gonna be....and where I am gonna sit!!!

- I am working on a 6 pack (even 7-8 pack would do ;)...but don't seem to be making any progress. Finally end up reading a coupla well written webpages on common mistakes and excercises that could help!...Thanks to Lijesh n Don who gave me this info and directed me to some excellent sites...

- I have no idea how many calories that delicious dish at the cafeteria has....Enter calorie-count.com ;)....

- I am watching this movie on TNT or so....there's Tom Cruise...Demi Moore...Jack Nicholson...courtroom drama....I'd like to know what this movie's name is....More googling...and hey, its "A Few Good Men" ;)

The list goes on and on...about music that I listen to, but can't find its name...and on n on...
