With Apologies to the Anti-Romantics

Posted on 04 May 2012 under Random

I’m trying to think of the right song to describe how I’m feeling right now. It’s a little difficult because: a) I don’t connect songs with emotions, I let music dictate my mood more often, and b) lyrics almost never mean as much as to me as music, so it’s difficult to remember what to [...]


Transform/Transcend

Posted on 05 Apr 2012 under Random

I don’t want to exist today, except as a song. Or maybe a whisper, one that you think you heard floating on the wind, but you’re not quite sure. It brings emotions to you, makes you feel good, makes you thank the Omnipotent for the breeze on this hot day, but confuses you. Was it [...]


Of Mice and Rat

Posted on 24 Feb 2012 under Random

I read a post on facebook today about how someone received a corporate award today and were thrilled about it. And me, being the cynical arse that I am, thought to myself–”Congratulations! First step to becoming the biggest/fastest rat around” It makes me wonder sometimes where I’m going. This is a rat race and sometimes [...]


At 1:30 am, I ramble

Posted on 22 Feb 2012 under Random

Until recently, I was a different me. Different from you. I didn’t know for sure what that meant, but I liked it. I crave for perfection, and yet I loved that I was that stain that stands out against a background of a perfect white sheet. I was the bane of my own existence. Now [...]


Ridiculous Ads

Posted on 19 Feb 2012 under Random

It’s good to be angry. If things don’t piss you off, you have nothing to write about, especially about terrible marketing/advertising gimmicks. Like the new Honda City ad, for example. Go watch it: New Honda City 2012 TV Commercial And then ask yourself: He admitted to forgetting his wife/girlfriend/partner, and she’s happy about it? Really? [...]


That Line

Posted on 15 Dec 2011 under Random

I believe in God, but I also believe in the really old saying—”God helps those who help themselves”. A lot of times, I like to leave things to the Big Man (or Woman) up above, for things to happen as they will, because my world-view is that life is unpredictable, and life is a bitch. [...]


Notepad

Posted on 28 Nov 2011 under Random

Years ago, Notepad was my favourite programme on Windows. I loved it. It was simple, and I loved how I could focus on the letters appearing before me in the monospaced, predictable manner as I typed them. I loved our old keyboard. It was gentle, and the keys made a very satisfying “tick-tack” when pressed. [...]


Kick it Out

Posted on 18 Nov 2011 under Random

Luis Suarez gets charged by an official body for using racist language against Patrice Evra. Gus Poyet, manager of Brighton, calls Evra a “cry baby”. Really? A guy stands up against racism and this is what he gets? Poyet, you muppet! Sepp Blatter thinks racist insults during a game should be forgotten at the end [...]


The Boy Who Lost His Voice

Posted on 11 Nov 2011 under Random

There was once a boy who sang very well. His was gifted with the ability to hold on to a tune like a train holds on to its rails. His voice was like petrichor—like the smell of approaching rain, his young voice signalled a time in the not too distant future when his fully developed [...]


…And Disappointment (for all)

Posted on 08 Nov 2011 under Random

(This post is Part 2 of this post) I suppose I should have taken it as a sign that I had to actually consciously build up excitement before the show. Before the Iron Maiden concert (and yes, I will compare Metallica 2011 with Iron Maiden 2007 throughout the post), TB and I were literally buzzing. [...]
