5. Je Te Donne...Jean Jacques Goldman
6. Thayya Thayya..Dil se
7. Leave out all the rest..Linkin Park

The list goes on..For now..the song on the topmost of my mind...

The You tube video

"It starts with one thing
I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, but didn't even know

Wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter


I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time

I tried so hard


In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so (far)

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me (in the end)

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I
I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter "

Move on

Sex and the CIty 2- Loved the Series, Hated the Movie.
I remember when the original series was playing on HBO, the name was offensive enough, then with the advent of  internet and Torrents, the sequence was pretty natural, Friends, Office, Sex and the City. And I liked it, I was the closet watcher of the series, a big fan of  Carrie Bradshaw inspite of her quirks, I forgave her unwilingly when she cheated on Aidan, I loved the weird and very bold Samantha inspite of her insatiable drive,In the series,Samantha had a class somehow, I still remember her dialogue after the Aidan episode, when Carrie says tht , "C'mmon Judge me, Hate me" and she replies with "Thats not my style." I loved her for it. I mean its difficult and very rare to find friends who dont judge u.  You can spend years with ppl trusting them, relying on them, sharing your deepest secrets with them not knowing that they have formed an image of u, judged u and passed the sentence, worse still advertised it to the world. So Samantha was lovable from that aspect.
The thing I fail to understand is  when the characters are already established, why go into the pain of re enforcing their personality traits? Carrie is indecisive, emotionally weak, self centered somehow- Aceepted. Why does she need to go to Abu Dhabi, run into Aidan to make the movie run the 2 hrs, 30 mins.. Samantha had to hurt the religous sentiments of a country ruled by its ethics to establish her openess.. the movie somehow does not make sense... its like my earlier sentiment that people should know when to stop. You made amazing 6 seasons and a decent first movie, but that is it, one cannot keep banking on the same old story. Carrie and her friends should retire peacefully now, time to move on.
One cannot and should not attach one self to anything tht makes moving on difficult. Sometimes, its worth it to enjoy the feeling till it lasts and cherish the memories than to drag it. That reminds me :

"Taarruf rog ho jaaye to usko bhoolnaa behtar


Taalluk bojh ban jaaye to usko todnaa achchha

Voh afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin

Use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna achchha"

PS: Applicable to everything that drags one down, makes one feel down or hurts one. The only person U have to live with for the rest of ur lives is U, why compromise?
