Strange Enchantments...

Strange enchanment lies in the moonlight,
Strange enchanment lies in your eyes.

When the moon has gone,
It will be dawn.

We will go on living apart,
And I will go on thinking about you,
With a strange enchanment in my heart.

Thanks V! for writing this poem on the book you gave me that beautiful moonlit night:-) And ditto!

*I really dont remember you giving me this sweet poem some 14 years ago.
But I do and will always appreciate all the love.*

Both Sides Now

Katty sent this song today saying that listening to it reminded him of me. (Dunno why and how! Crazy, he is, and such a sweetheart!)

Thanks much Katty!
I cant clearly express how I feel. But I am sure I want to keep it with me forever.
So, here I blog it!



Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As evry fairy tale comes real
Ive looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, dont let them know
Dont give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day

Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

I think I have a problem.
I am deeply attracted to people in pain.

Is this the end...

Wish you smiles all through 2008:-)

2007 is gone. It was exactly as my forecast on Cainer described it:

Comet McNaught may this year, live right up to its name and bring you plenty of nothing. Much, at the end of the year, may remain as it was at the beginning - in the physical sense. In between the two times, though, you look set to be taken on one heck of a journey during which major attitudes alter for evermore.

I am glad I lived through 2007. Yes, my status quo is the same. Nothing has changed. Absolutely nothing! It was not one of those drastic years where everything goes topsy-turvy and you are lost amidst too much. It was also not one of those years where things hit you with a bang and you are open to some crazy realizations that challenge your beliefs. It was not about surviving a life altering experience but settling in to a somewhat altered domain that was thrust on to you from somewhere, somehow. It was about realizing the spaces, wondering about their vastness, filling them up in a mad rush, and then abhorring it all. It was about moving away, only to socialize with the self. It was about re-examining the filled-up spaces, realizing the sin of indulging in excess and depriving others in need. It was about a sudden mad desire to wipe off everything so that it could be filled up with beauty. It was all about filling up the bottle and then emptying it!

I feel nice about starting a new year. I have a few resolutions. I am working on them:-)

I wish everyone a grand 2008. If you are looking for any kind of change, I feel you can achieve it!

Love,

Me:-)

Limbo...

There have been no new experiences, no indulgence in interesting activities, nothing to talk about really. I have learnt nothing new. I did read a book and a statement in it captured all my attention.
‘Will is Force’

Force reminds me of Newton, always!

According to his first law of motion:
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

Hell, I need a will to change. And I don’t get it!
