For old times' sake!
I have a 20 GB ipod and I'm usually plugged to it.No i'm not gloating, well not a lot any way. Since, nano was released, quite a few people have asked me why do I need so much space?(the ipod i.e. not talking about the space my ass is taking, that is wasted real estate any way). They usually rationalize it this way..
1) The pod is too heavy
2) u are not going to listen to all 5000 songz any way!!
by now the earphones are blareing again so not sure about the rest of em.....
1) I drag my ass around don't I? whats a few more grams around the waist?
2) Yeah, by that logic I need just one song on the pod right?? NINKAMPOOP!!
That out of the way, the problem is this. Since I have most of my collection on the pod, the play lists become really, REALLY long. Some of them have music worth a week. Some, songs are obviously forgotten about coz of this. When they play again the next time it is like meeting a old friend (who u were sick off after spending all the time with). Found two such "friendz" yesterday.
1) Daniel Powter - Bad day (Nice video too)
Trivia: American Idol used this one through out the 05-06 season
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is Lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying ON
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way OFF line
You're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carrying ON
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile
And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying ON
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
Youhad a bad day
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes ON the blink and the whole thing it turns out Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that Strong
Well I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is Lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
And how does It feel and one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
2) Afro celt sound system and Peter Gabriel- When you are falling (this is a much older one, and makes much more sense with the video...)
Trivia - Afro celt is actually the best selling band on Peter Gabriel's record label
Everyday and you crawl into the night
A fallen angel and with your wings set alight
When you hit the ground
Everything turns to blue
I can't get through the smoke
That's surrounding you
Cause when you.re falling
I can.t tell which way is down
And when you.re screaming
Somehow I don't hear a sound
And when you're seeing things
Then your feet don.t touch the ground
Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
I can see through the clouds
I can walk right through the walls
Hang me OFF the ceiling
But I can't take the fall
Should have crossed the river
But I may get swept away
Out there ON the water
You can still see me wave
Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
When you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
I keep seeing all those things
My feet don't touch the ground
Cause when you.re falling
I can.t tell which way is down
And when you.re screaming
Somehow I don't hear a sound
And when you're seeing things
Then your feet don.t touch the ground
Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
Man I forgot how great these were...

Wanted to add this one to my collection for quite some time.....Thanks to Praveer and Pulkit got it yesterday
Movie - Main, meri Patni aur woh
Artist - Mohit Chauhan (Lead singer of the now defunct band Silk Route, I guess the music also was done by him....)
Song - Guncha (A bud)
guncha koi, mere naam kar diya
saki ne phir se mera, jaam bhar diya
guncha koi
tum jaise koi nahi, is jahan main
subeh ko teri zulf ne, shaam kar diya
saki ne phir se mera, jaam bhar diya
guncha koi
mehfil main baar baar idhar, dekha kiye
aankhon ki zanzeeron ko mere, naam kar diya
saki ne phir se mera, jaam bhar diya
guncha koi
hoosh Bekhabar se hue, un ke bagair
hoosh Bekhabar se hue, un ke bagair
wo jo humse keh na sake, dil ne keh diya
saki ne phir se mera, jaam bhar diya
guncha koi
guncha koi, mere naam kar diya
saki ne phir se mera, zaam bhar diya
You can have a listen HERE

Round trip to Heaven
Had a 30 minutes stay in heaven yesterday. Dj was my PC. Du Hast had the company of
I love the way you move - Bodyrockers
Galvanize - Chemical Bros.
Man my neck hurt this BAD after a loooong looooong time. The neighbours must have had a party (if they have a good taste in music i.e.)
Note to self: do not headbang near the PC with wet hair to avoid cleaning up the keyboard later!!
The downside: Fell asleep at Half time of the Eng Vs Sweeden game....missed a good game, AAAAAAH CRAP!!

So, what is it worth to you?
Ranvijay was a typical rich, spoilt brat. Hated his parents for not understanding him or spending more time with him. He loved their money.
9:45p.m. He had to get to the pub by 10. All his "friends" must be waiting, "let those vultures wait", he thought. The party was typical, booze, girls, music, cocaine. Rajiv, the bartender that night was thanking his stars. Ranvijay was an exceptionally good tipper. He, needed the money as he did thisjob to pay for his college. A degree in hotel management, this job gave him the money and the experience too.
2:00 a.m. - The party was over, Ranvijay was very generous tonite. Time to get back to the hostel. It was raining very heavily. "Damn, the monsoon", thought Rajiv.Usually, he would have taken an auto to his hostel, but today he could afford a bit of luxury. He spotted a cab parked at the end of the road and got in. Rajiv gave the cabbie his destination, and off they went Rajiv, content with the day's work and pay. The cabbie was a typical one from U.P. His name was Ranjit singh. Ranjit in his mid 40s was happy to get a passenger at this time of the night in this weather. He was about to head back to hi chawl, when this kid climbed in with a grin on his face. Must have been lucky today, one way or the other. Rajiv paid the cabbie, 75/- more than he would have paid the auto wallah, but what the hell. The cabbie was happy to take a passenger at this time of the night, since the kid's hostel was on the way to Ranjit's chawl.
6:00 a.m. Ranjit woke up and saw his son Deepak, sleeping peacefully. Deepak was a good student. He had been asking his father for 50/- to buy a few books. Yesterday night had been a good one for Ranjit. The passengers had been generous to him. He slipped the 50/- note under Deepaks pillow.
8:00 a.m. Deepak opened his eyes. He would have been late for college, had he not been expelled. He, had not been attending the classes for quite some time now. Since he had met Rekha. He was in love. Rekha, was in trouble however. She worked as a secretary, to Mr Sanghvi. That bastard had been taking advantage of Rekha being desperate for a job. She had tol Deepak about it and he was going to do something about it.
1:00 p.m The ragpicker was where he always was. Near a dumpster, looking for something. He needed something to cover his hut now that it was raining everyday. Deepak saw him and talked to him about a deal.
9:00 p.m. Mr Sanghvi came out of his office, his car somehow refused to start. He sent the driver to get some help. The office building was unusually vacant today. A begger was knocking on the window of Sanghvi's Merc. He rolled down the window to scream at the good for nothing bastartd. Soon, he felt something sharp lodged in his neck and he could not breath. Sanghvi died in his black Merc trying to get some air in his lungs. It was worth the 50/- that the college loafer had given him. "I'll be able to cover my home, this monsoon" thought the ragpicker.
9:45 p.m: The phone rang as he was about to leave. It was the police. Somebody had killed his father. "No party tonight"thought Ranvijay
10:00 p.m: Ranvijay did not turn up today, Rajiv will have to take an auto back to the hostel today

Insomnia
Somwhere in the course of the weekend also watched Magnolia a 3Hr long wierd muvi...NICE!!
The problem is I dunno where it fits in the course of events. Ah well, photographic memory without a corresponding timeline does have it's drawbacks ;)

Living for the MOMENT
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
3:05 into the song, when the opera starts....
The Grid - Swamp Thing
2:44 into the song when the banjo kicks in!!
Coldplay - parachutes
45 seconds of bliss.......
In a haze and a stormy haze,
I'll be round, I'll be loving you always and always,
Here I am and I'll take my time,
Here I am and I'll wait in line always and always.
Coincidently all of these are british bands....

Zzzzzzzzz
Haven't had a decent night's sleep for the last 5 days......world cup and the test match. Had planned to complete my quota of sleep today(no good matches in Germany today). I guess will be able to do that if it rains in St.Lucia today. Well the test match will be a good watch today, with India requireing 9 wickets for a victory after rain screwed up India's position yesterday. The rotten luck continues.....
Surprizes.....every one thought that Brazil winning this WC was a foregone conclusion. After the performances by the Czech republic, Argentina and the african minnows...Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobego (allthough Ghana and Togo lost their matches they did play pretty well ) The Brazil Vs ------ final will be a good contest :). (m not a Brazil supporter, a fan none the less....actually support France....)
Disappointments - performances by France and England......somehow the European guys are unable to play decent football in the afternoon (the 6:30 and 9:30 pm games (IST))
Bloopers....The Russian ref in France Vs Swiss. I think that guy was drunk!!! The one that takes the cake is the goalkeeper of the team from Ghana(I think his name is Kinston ). Pretty decent when defending direct shots at goal. Get a corner or a set-piece and watch the fun. That dude could not TOUCH the ball!!O man that was Hillarious.....
After a good night's work, when you are too tired to move your head, and your body starts to melt into the pillow......hmmmm......Another night with no sleep (5 Hrs DO NOT count when the minimum I need are 8!!).....no problemo......The voices in my head are getting louder, gotta get out the war paint and start warming up for the 6:30 game......see ya......soooooon

YELP!
I needed some info, if you know anything about it please lemme know :)
1) Movie - Ed TV
Scene - Matthew McConaughey goes to Jenna Elfman's flat, some shit happens and he is dancing with Elfman's roommate......The help I need is this: In the background the song playing is a remixed version of "Do wah diddy". PLEASE tell me who is the artist (of that version).
Trivia: The original was done by The Exciters however the cover by Manfred Mann was the more popular hit.
2) Cate Blanchet's movie(as in she was the lead...) about a reporter who took on the Irish Mob. The movie has the song Everlasting love by U2 on the OST. What, I SAY, is the name of the movie?????
More Info - The scene when the song plays is when her husband has a fight with her regarding the time she is spending on the story rather than the family and the song starts playing in the background and slowly fades in.......

story time.....
Well if you listen to music quite often, I am sure you do not stick to one kind of music. Some times philosophical or profound or even beautiful lyrics (coldplay fits the bill) tend to get you down. THAT is the time you reach out for this kind of music...what kind you ask? Hold your horses, I'll get to that in a moment. The belafonte song I wrote this post about fits the bill.
The following song is in the same vain, the beat is quite nice so makes for a good listen. I am quite sure it was actually written in a diner and then twisted.... :)
Suzane vega - Tom's Diner
I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
ON the corner
I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee
And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue
He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in
It Is always
Nice to see you.
Says the man
Behind the counter
To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella
And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos
I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk
I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor
Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of
And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies
When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head
There's a woman
ON the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection
And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt
And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Is getting wet
Oh and this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening
To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...
I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train
Yeah, I know crapy stuff, still kinda fun.....
However my favourite from this kinda stuff will always be this one from soul assylum...
Soul Asylum - String Of Pearls
She swings the string of pearls ON the corner
The street lights reflect the light in the water
The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing
And they splash and bounce and roll cross the wet street
As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings round the corner
She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver
Who's racing to the delivery ROOM
Cause In the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb
And the sack breaks and out come the siamese twins
Who grow up to become the first president
With two heads
Are better than one
He puts his heads in his hands and says I got to put my heads together
I can become the best president ever
And not just president
Fend for yourself
Signs his name and takes the blame for all of the names with no shame
In their beliefs
They adjourn and they leave and in walks a man
With a broom and a knife and blood ON his hands
And he sweeps everything under the rug
And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug
But his wife was not there and she had just left a letter
That said you.d be much better OFF without me
Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover.s funeral
Who died in the bathroom and hit his head ON a urinal
When they got together and the knowledge was carnal
And the widow was at the funeral and they had quite a catfight
And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting
And the preacher just left in the middle of the service
Cause Death was one thing and but women made him nervous
And he ran to his car and he drove round the corner
Then something in the street caught the light in his eye
He pulled over, reached down and picked up a pearl from the gutter
And he didn't know what to think
And he brought it home and washed it in the sink
And he gave the pearl to sister Mary teresa
Who could not accept it so she gave it to lisa,
A Young prostitute who was missing a pearl
ON the necklace that broke late last night

Food for thot?
This post may be biased as I HATE food and the fact that we need to eat.
I was talkin to one of my IIIT batchmates Sanjeeth (can't put a link here because that bugger gave up on blogging). I asked him the typical question - Hows life?.....his answer also typical and expected (for a s/w prof anyway) - WHAT life? Life doesn't exist....ANYWHERE!
This got me thinking, 2-3 days later (late reaction as usual), when I got a forward with the link to BHOOKH. Imagine if you never EVER have to eat again.
You can do what you WANT and not what you NEED to do.
You will not bother about your COST to your company.
You will not have an stomach upset (this monday :( )
There will be nobody below the poverty line (they are spending all their on food after all)
There will be no need for reservations ( No food => No need for Money => No need for jobs => only the people who WANT to study WILL study)
There will be no caste system ( No menial jobs left to perform which introduced the caste system in the first place)
Kids won't be sold as prostitutes and domestic helps (they were sold coz their "parents" didnot have food to eat or feed the kids).
Dawood would be pursuing a carrer in pure mathematics and chaos theory.
Software proffesionals won't spend mind numbing hour after hour waitng for a challenge.
you wouldn't be bored outta your mind reading this and then posting a comment. ( :) worth a try )
You won't need a bloody website to feed small kids!!
Root of all possible evil Hunger.......No need for food => No hunger = > ????
