Stand by Me :)

Posted on September 10, 2011 by narayankamath

Ive been listening to this song from Ra.One since the last couple of days. It a catchy slow romantic song . Though the Urdu lyrics seem to be trash, its got some English lyrics sampled from Stand by Me by Ben King ( copyrights acknowledged). The English Original is a nice rock and roll melody. The song led me to a movie by the same. Saw it yesterday and liked it very much.It about 4 twelve year olds on an adventure. Reminded me of my different sets of friends in the different schools I’ve been. The song plays during the ending credits. Though I would suppose a romantic song isnt quite what you would name a movie about pre-adolescent friendship after.

All the three ,the Hindi song,the original and movie are very nice .

I used to listen to this song by laura allen back in my 5th-6th standard and even now its as refreshing as it was back then..

Slip and slide away I go into a dream
Now they say that dreams are just for fools
Well I betcha fools made up those rules
So never mind what they say
Just slip and slide away, cuz it’s okay

So whenever you feel a little crazy
May be too many things on your mind
Just clear a little place for your dreams my friend
And leave your troubles behind

Slip N Slide away

Blues

The closest Bollywood has come to blues anyway .some of my fave Indian Blues tunes

Sham – Aisha : amit trivedi’s best till now

Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya – Title song : I love all the songs in this movie but this one is kinda creepy ,weird ,blue yet full of hope .good stuff

Annul Mele Panithuli – Varanam Aayiram : Sudha Ranganath and Harris Jeyaraj combo. Love the violin at around 2:30.

TumHo toh – Rock on! : very unorthodox album . I likes.

Phir Dekhiye -Rock On! :vintage stuff

Mere Mehboob – Raageshwari : cant help but add this even though its a pop song.

This and that

@starbucks now…

sitting in a crowded ( yet far more spacious/lonelier than those delightful darshinis in Bangalore) place…The soft music lulls me into a comfort ,I have not experienced for quite some time now.. yet being on the verge of an unquestionably defining moment of my life makes me unfathomably nervous.Never have I felt this way, not even the day i joined Infy, the day I couldn’t meet anks’ accusing eyes, day i left infy… I wonder if i could live the last 3 years differently ,would I? probably not.Yet I have changed uncontrollably and irretrievably for the good or the bad in the last year ,I cannot recognize me anymore. Is that a good thing? Well I like to think its a sort of give and take.

One of my favorite quotes is a sentence for HHGTTG ” I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” I hope thats true.

Well my saturnine nature makes these days of unemployment especially bad. Its the stupid mood swings, I say. One moment I’m as cheerful as Louis Armstrong and the next I’m deep in the dumps. Depressed? May be so,But Ive been this way as far back as I remember.well thats something I should change probably. Im wondering whether I should even publish this rant..dont judge me now mom & dear sister, There will be happier times soon..Well I sure hope so. morbid thoughts are not something I look forward to , but I know they are there waiting to pounce just have they done a number of times previously.

The thing I miss the most is gymming. The first thing that I do after I get a job is get back to shape, Ive lost 10 pounds from 150 lbs in a matter of 3 months .Precious since Ive struggled and gained 15 lbs since last june.
To the gym then

My white mocha is almost empty and I have a bus to catch back to the university
