Iris

November 30, 2006 11:44 am

I am in love with this song!!!! I read about it in WikiPedia: Iris and Damn I loved it even more.

What I was wondering is why did he call this song ‘Iris’… I think it was the name of the girl for whome this song was dedicated. Please enlighten me :)

And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Thanks Kittu for the recommendation :)

I finally have Wireless at home :)
I have had the laptop for a while now and making home a Wi-Fi Zone was on the cards from the start :P
It took me a while to configure it but it works like a charm now :)

Casino Royale - Movie Review

I am not a great fan of Bond movies… The common content always turned me off, the gadgets made me feel it was better if they made an animated series out of the frachise! But Casino Royale has changed that for ever :)

Casino Royale is not like other Bond movies, and thats what makes it a winner. Somebody finally realized that not many were buying that James Bond would go into a fight, kill a dozen enemies of the Queen and return without a single crease on his suit… Oh forgot to mention, getting lucky with a few girls along the way. Well Casino Royale is not like that… Thank heavens

Better Teacher!

Play 3: 2200

Play 5: The Photographer

I always believed that “Failure is a better teacher than Success”… Well It is :)

On Monday evening we did the 2nd performance of our Presentation in front of a decently large crowd(25 odd ppl). Now that I look back it seems what happened was inevitable, I was overconfident and it effected my performance. I went in thinking ‘nothing can go wrong’… Well it was not like a catastrophe but I just could not get into character for my roles. My first performance(in play 1) was very criticized(mostly by Sidharth) and I did that one well this time around… I was calmer and took the role by the horns. The other 2 roles(which were leading roles btw) was what was bad.

I made a few amateur mistakes and frankly I am happy I did! There is no point in hitting the bullseye each time :P Anyway there is talk about a 3rd performance and I will look at that in a different point of view and try my level best to fix all the mistakes possible :)

In better news we got a lot of photos of this performance. Special thanks to Theju ,Vidya and Pragna :)

Beautiful Lines…

November 17, 2006 11:24 am

If you people are wondering what kind of songs I like… Well this following snippet of lyrics are the kind I truly love.

Sunaah hain Mohabbath ki Thakdeer mein, Likhein hain andherein Ghanee,
Thabi aaj Shayad Sitare Sabi zara saahi roshan hue…

Mere haath ki in Lakeeron mein likhe abhi aur kithne… sitam,
Khafaa Ho gayein hain kushi waqt sey ho rahein hain meherbaan Gam,
- Bas Ek Pal (Bas Ek Pal)

Roughly translated the above means:

They say that darkness is written in the destiny of love,
That is probably why the stars shine a little dimmer tonight…

Written in my hands(destiny) is how much more suffering,
Happiness has frowned away and sadness is a memento from time…

PS: I can love a song just because 1 line somewhere in middle was brilliantly written :)
