Bryan Greenberg - Lonely World

Such a lonely boy, couldn't find the joy within.
Such a lonely girl, such a lonely world we're living in.
I watch it all go by.
Can't find a tear to cry.
A tear to cry.

It's so obvious how they need each other.
They want and bleed and hurt but they keep it covered. Until it's one big lie. They can't stay alone cuz they fear goodbyes, well, they fear goodbyes. They fear goodbyes.

chorus:
He don't say much, when there ain't much to say. She waits for his responce, she waits all day. The world keeps spinning in a silent scream and I keep waking in these dying dreams.

I asked her for the time, she said the timing was off. But I got this pain inside she said it's all you've got. I got this feeling that life is passing me by, I'm a couple of years late but I, I'm here tonight. I'm here tonight, well, I'm here tonight.

Chorus

Such a lonely boy, such a lonely girl. It's such a lonely world

too lazy to write....to young to die..

so i've decided to plagiarize interesting stuff and post it here...

sunny day in hell pt. 2

the road next to my building officially leads nowhere....
there had been days in the past when i would see dogs, barking randomly as if wake up the nothingness that, i thought, perhaps lay beyond...in the dark..
but alas...they didn't comeback...i never saw the same dog again...

undeterred, today i walked down the said road myself ....it was easy enough..i just needed my mums phone number on speed dial, in case something happened...or may be the dogs returned..

the road was long and winding and i was slow and lethargic.....suddenly, quite unexpectedly, i tripped on something....in the dim light it seemed like a shoe of some kind....

I'm no expert but it was definitely a foot prop of some kind though the possibility of it being the rajasthani headgear could not be completely ruled out...the fact that it seemed to be smiling back at me didn't help...i must however, point out at this time that my curious look of astonishment is nothing compared to what the strange object on the mysterious road was apparently giving me...i cursed at it and moved on...

it might, at this point in this great adventure story, appear to the reader that the same may be loosing all factual relevance and hence the reader may be inclined to convince him/herself that this is in fact a giant waste of time. to the reader, the author would like a extend an equally giant hand gesture and pray to the great one that the uninformed one be spared of what was about to happen to the author further down the road.

the footwear/rajasthani headgear was apparently not the only curious piece of attire on the mysterious road...which would make sence since footwear/rajasthani headgear generally come in pairs of two and four in certain states down south....this accompanied by the fact that there was some strange symmetry in their shapes made their case for being what they were identified as, stronger. I was now convinced of their identity.

so i looked at my watch and counted randomly... logic prevailed and i took several steps towards the darkness that lay ahead...what was strange during these several steps was utter silence that followed....

i thought, realizing i was pressed for time, that my stupid friends might not wait for me to open the sweet rum that had apparently been freshly brewed by the saintly monk who lived for making godly sweet liquor....they say he's been very old for a while now...but that not stopping anyone...

let get this over with, i thougt in my head....and started running without a care in the world.....

Joe Purdy - I Love The Rain The Most When It Stops

Well, I love the rain the most when it stops
We can see the big white houses, yeah, and the docks
And we can jump in the river, don't know if the water or sky is clearer
But I know that I love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stopsNo more grey today, we gonna celebrate
You know Miss Sunshine, she starts to paint a perfect picture of this river parade
And I know that I love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
Well, the dark waves, they start singing together
I can't believe this change in the weather
I start to hum a child's rhymeAnd all these boats, they start rocking in time
And I love the rain the most when it stops
Yes, we love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah when it stops
The summer is coming to an end
We ain't gonna let that slow us down one bit
Til that sunset will start to fade
They're gonna drag us screaming from these old riverbanks
We love the rain the most when it stops
I Love The Rain The Most When It Stops
We love the rain the most when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
Yeah, when it stops
When it stops, when it stops, when it stops...
Yeah, when it stops
I think you've had a little too much too drink
Let me help with that
Don't forget to tie the boat up
Not that way, no it's a figure eight, yeah
Yeah when it stops...The rain, when it stops...




love this song.....my first mumbai specific entry

Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?


 

Ooooowaa Mother, should I build a wall?


 

Mother, should I run for President?

Mother, will they put me in the firing line?


 

Ooooowaa Is it just a waste of time?


 

Hush, my baby. Baby, don't you cry.


 

Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.


 

Momma's gonna put all of her fears into you.


 

Momma's gonna keep you right here under her wing.


 

She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing.


 

Momma's gonna keep Baby cozy and warm.


 

Oooo Babe.


 

Oooo Babe.


 

Ooo Babe, of course Momma's gonna help build a wall.


 

Mother, do you think she's good enough,


 

For me?


 

Mother, do you think she's dangerous,


 

To me?


 

Mother will she tear your little boy apart?


 

Ooooowaa Mother, will she break my heart?

Does It?

Nothing really matters. No seriously, think about it.

Accession Of Jammu And Kashmir State To India (1947)

Text Of Letter Dated October 26, 1947

From Hari Singh, The Maharaja Of Jammu & Kashmir to

Lord Mountbatten, Governor General of India.


 

Dated: 26 October 1947


 

My dear Lord Mountbatten,

I have to inform your Excellency that a grave emergency has arisen in my State and request immediate assistance of your Government.

As your Excellency is aware the State of Jammu and Kashmir has not acceded to the Dominion of India or to Pakistan. Geographically my State is contiguous to both the Dominions. It has jvital economical and cultural llinks with both of them. Besides my State has a common boundary with the Soviet Republic and China. In their external relations the Dominions of India and Pakistan cannot ignore this fact.

I wanted to take time to decide to which Dominion I should accede, or whether it is not in the best interests of both the Dominions and my State to stand independent, of course with friendly and cordial relations with both.

I accordingly approached the Dominions of India and Pakistan to enter into Standstill Agreement with my State. The Pakistan Government accepted this Agreement. The Dominion of India desired further discussions with representatives of my Government. I could not arrange this in view of the developments indicated below. In fact the Pakistan Government are operating Post and Telegraph system inside the State.

Though we have got a Standstill Agreement with the Pakistan Government that Government permitted steady and increasing strangulation of supplies like food, salt and petrol to my State.

Afridis, solidiers in plain clothes, and desperadoes with modern weapons have been allowed to infilter into the State at first in Poonch and then in Sialkot and finally in mass area adjoining Hazara District on the Ramkot side. The result has been that the limited number of troops at the disposal of the State had to be dispersed and thus had to face the enemy at the several points simultaneously, that it has become difficult to stop the wanton destruction of life and property and looting. The Mahora powerhouse which supplies the electric current to the whole of Srinagar has been burnt. The numer of women who have been kidnapped and raped makes my heart bleed. The wild forces thus let loose on the State are marching on with the aim of capturing Srinagar, the summer Capital of my Government, as first step to over-running the whole State.

The mass infiltration of tribesmen drawn from distant areas of the North-West Frontier coming regularly in motor trucks using Mansehra-Muzaffarabad Road and fully armed with up-to-date weapons cannot possibly be done without the knowledge of the Provisional Government of the North-West Frontier Province and the Government of Pakistan. In spite of repeated requests made by my Government no attempt has been made to check these raiders or stop them from coming into my State. The Pakistan Radio even put out a story that a Provinsional Government had been set up in Kashmir. The people of my State both the Muslims and non-Muslims generally have taken no part at all.

With the conditions obtaining at present in my State and the grreat emergency of the situation as it exists, I have no option but to ask for help from the Indian Dominion. Naturally they cannot send the help asked for by me without my State acceding to the Dominion of India. I have accordingly decided to do so and I attach the Instrument of Accession for acceptance by your Government. The other alternative is to leave my State and my people to free-booters. On this basis no civilized Government can exist or be maintained. This alternative I will never allow to happen as long as I am Ruler of the State and I have life to defend my country.

I am also to inform your Excellency's Government that it is my intention at once to set up an interim Government and ask Sheikh Abdullah to carry the responsibilities in this emergency with my Prime Minister.

If my State has to be saved immediate assistance must be available at Srinagar. Mr. Menon is fully aware of the situation and he will explain to you, if further explanation is needed.

In haste and with kind regards,

The Palace, Jammu Your sincerely,

26th October, 1947 Hari Singh

Midnight

yes its midnight....

Thursday, March 1, 2007

BTW

Roger Waters was awesome…..

that's all I have to say about that!

Holy Fk!

The defence budget is 96,000 crores….i.e. Rs. 96,000,00,00,000….wow!

I made a difference...

In the wee hours of the first day of the yr, I single handedly convinced a fellow human to start a blog. This perhaps is the most notable of all my worldly contributions including the one involving blind mice and old beggars.
I think i can safely say i've grown. I'm not the man i once was. 

Hoping to find a list of new year resolutions worth posting for tomorrow and wishing the few numbskulls, who visit my blog hoping for a new post, a very happy new year. 

ciao
