There are many reasons to detest music, or certain kinds of music. For example, you could hate rap for its lyrics, for the wannabe gangsta attitude. You could look condescendingly upon pop music because it’s just so crass, it follows such a formula, and it sounds like it almost requires no talent. Anti-metalheads claim that [...]

Come away with me, let’s go to a far off place, where all we can see, for miles and miles, is the green of grass, the blue of sky and the white of clouds. Let’s lay beneath a tree, allowing its gentle shade to shield our eyes from the sun’s brilliant golden rays. We’ll lie [...]

Dear You, First off, I have to say that I think you have great hair. Ok, well, you had great hair, I haven’t seen you in a while, so I don’t know if you still have great hair. The other day, you said that we’ve been friends for 12 years. Wow! That’s freaky! When the [...]

I caught myself, in time, just before I was about to venture on to another “random thoughts” post. Haven’t I written plenty of them lately anyway? Why? What’s so special about randomness? When it comes to my writing, nothing. I resort to writing random thoughts when I have nothing else to write about, when nothing [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to A Perfect Circle. There’s a whole bunch of reasons why, but let’s not get into it. I was listening to “The Outsider” and the first line of the chorus leapt out at me. Disconnect and self-destruct, one bullet at a time. Wow. I have no freaking clue [...]

I was on facebook a little while back. Someone I know posted on his wall about how Special 26 is not as good as everyone is making it out to be, and how the ratings are rigged because apparently, a couple of critics (such as the TOI movie column writer) have given it 4 stars [...]

I was driving home the other night, listening to The Doors, high on the bass riff of Riders on the Storm. I almost didn’t notice when the piano solo started. And when I did, I said to myself, “Oops, almost missed the piano solo. Better pay attention; this is going to be awesome.” And that, [...]

I can appreciate good movies, to a certain extent. Heck, I even critique them and have strong opinions. I can appreciate fine writing. There are times when, reading through some <> Dickens’ paragraph, I literally feel like I’m being physically elevated to the next level of pleasure. It’s why I like writing, I suppose…because every [...]

The sunlight filters in through the window, reflecting off the marbled floor and casting patterns on the wall behind me. It’s a calm, quiet morning. No music, no television, no radio. Look at this empty space. I recall all the metaphors I’ve used in the past, the most oft-used being that of a canvas. I [...]

I was flipping through an old Perry Mason story by Erle Stanley Gardner the other day. I remembered that I had enjoyed the Perry Mason cases quite a bit when I had read them when I was younger. But as I randomly read through a page, I found myself thinking, “wow, this dialogue is really [...]
