Born In Time

In the lonely night in the blinking stardust of a pale blue light
You're coming through to me in black and white when we were made of dreams
You're blowin' down a shaky street you're hearing my heart beat
In the record breaking heat where we were born in time.

Not one more night not one more kiss
Not this time babe no more of this
Takes too much skill takes too much of will
It's too revealing.

You came you saw just like the law
You married young just like you ma
You tried and tried you made me slide
You left me reeling with this feeling

On the rising curve where the ways of nature will test every nerve
You don't get anything you don't deserve where we were born in time.

You pressed me once you pressed me twice
You hung the blade you'll pay the price
Oh babe that fire is still smoking.

You were snow you were rain
You were striped you were plain
Oh babe truer words have not been spoken
Or broken.

If there's a mystery in the foggy world of destiny
You can have what's left of me where we were born in time.


*OK What in God's name does this awesome sounding track mean?!!*

Nano,Petro,Traffic... You get the idea?

Yes one preach-max post.But seriously guys read it and consider it. Hoping comments follow. The recent hike in petrol prices would have come as a big blow for most people.It sure will leave a huge hole in every pocket. I dont follow the oil economy or the inflation-fighting steps taken by the government but what I do realize is one thing.There sure is an upside to this. Ok before you jump and try reading the last para to see the tone and proceed to comment, let me assure you .I would be as happy as anybody else if prices of so many things fell.What I want you to do is understand a little observation I made. Usually, when I have some place to go in namma Bengalooru ,there would be ideally 2 choices - the bus or my own transport (ideally because the LL is still in the waiting :( . ). I am quite sure this thought process goes on in most peoples minds.They would think about the availability of buses to that place and their regularity.They would then find out the distance they would be ...

Yesterday

Kaalia the crow,Suppandi,Tantri The Mantri,Kapish and the other Tinkle characters. Math 100 page homeworks. Mom getting my shoes polished and ready. Trying to be tall enough to unbolt the door. Fist Blow exchanges with sis. Mickey-Mouse tiffin boxes and Donald Duck water bottles. Just 'half' a ticket for a bus ride. Forming circles on the playground for lunch. Bated breath to catch the 2 second 'car scene' involving Drew Barrimore in Charlie's Angels. Little Classroom Crushes. Horrendous Hindi Dohas. Enid-Blyton Adventures. 'Just Mohabbat' on Sony. Frantic 'chalkifying' the white canvas shoes. Rubberbands to hold socks up during inspections. 'Kings' with napkin-ball after lunch. 4-in-1 family rides on our very own 'Allwyn Pushpak'. Geography Map completions. Tazos and Trump Cards and tattoos and what not! Badge Fight with classmates. 'Son-Pari' on Star Plus. The cursive-Handwriting improvement nightmare. Pad-Cricket after Exam...

Kyunki...

No matter how many times they have featured on 'Things I Hate The Most' on Slam-Books and personality questionnaires, I have always been awed by the rich variety of 'saas-bahu' teleserials aired during prime-time. Why? Here is ,in no way an exhaustive list of their achievements( Due to obvious reasons I consider all the saas-bahu dramas to be a single identity) : The net worth of the jewellery in one scene overtakes the GDP of Eritrea. The costumes worn by a single person on one show beats the lifetime wardrobe of an average, sane mortal. The Bindis of a lucky select compete in size with Kosovo. The only set-up , fiction,non-fiction or whatever, where an older person plays the daughter if not grand-daughter of the younger one. The wiliness of the average bahu puts to shame even the most dangerous KGB spy. The make-up used for one complete episode can 'decolorize' entire Africa. The only family probably in the history of time to have 8 generations in one ...
