a memoir of etchings and wanderings
What have you got on them? What have they got on you? It’s all about the leverage The right kind of pressure Those perfect words So easy to get wound in them Spin a little story And dream through rose-tinted glasses You must know when to step on the gas Then in an instant, tug on the reigns Change in a moment’s notice The toughest part is to convince oneself … Continue reading “Leverage” →
I remember the first time I tasted this little piece of Italian heaven. In a relatively new café known as ‘Sweet Chariot’ – way back in 2005; it felt so good, I almost assumed that there could be no way that one could possibly make it at home. During the recent trip to Italy, I got the parents to sample it and they loved it so much, that I thought … Continue reading “From Italy, with love…” →
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had a guardian angel? A Cinderella-sort-of fairy godmother who could make wishes come true? It seems that nothing is too far from reality in today’s times. I was introduced today to a new social networking application called Impossible.com. Backed by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, and model Lily Cole it is being presented as an altruism-based social network that work towards making people’s dreams and … Continue reading “Nothing’s Impossible” →
Because not every day is easy It might seem like you’re floating away Or falling into a chasm Hold on to this moment Don’t tell anyone Breathe… It will eventually happen. It must.
It’s such a big world out there. But as different as we are, there are some things that remain the same no matter what we look like, or what language we speak. When Maroon 5 asked their fans to send in videos that they would create a montage from, for their new son – they called it the ‘Daylight Project’ . They asked them to share what was important to them … Continue reading “Overexposed” →
I know several people who devote a substantial time of their lives to YouTube – watching the most diverse array of things. It really is a phenomenon. While I’m not among them, I scout for new music there at times. Click on random videos and sometimes discover some really stirring stuff. This Las Vegas group was among these chance discoveries. I was listening to some Snow Patrol favourites and one … Continue reading “Imagine Dragons” →
This has been spoken about on the blog previously. It’s an old evil. But what can I do to get a grip? I cannot punch the wall Or do push ups to save my life Writing is not satisfying enough And chocolate doesn’t help So I tried something new… Stepped out of the office, power walked in the Sun for 40 minutes with really loud music playing in my ear. … Continue reading “Anger Management” →
I had to look up the meaning of ‘Geek’ before deciding to label this post. Although many might differ and say that the dictionary meaning is a person who is socially inept or the likes, but the other one (the more commonly used one) is someone who knows just too much about something and is borderline obsessed with a subject. In my case, I was looking for a distraction at … Continue reading “Geekery!” →
Running a little low on self-fuelled inspiration, I’m taking up a NaBloPoMo prompt (Your cue to laugh at the acronym again – go ahead). I picked this up from Milan’s blog – she’s also doing the thirty day challenge J Apparently, American talk show host James Lipton asks these ten questions on his show – Inside the Actors’ Studio – and I’m going to answer them with as little thought … Continue reading “Rapid fire!” →
It never really is about time. The important thing is intention. You can spend a lifetime chasing. And not be able to move a heartstring. Then someone else steps in, and like magic they change. So when someone cannot make time for you Don’t take it personally It’s not like you lack anything Probably what you have is not what they’re looking for I have seen people cross oceans Heard … Continue reading “Intent” →
