The Sad, the Bad, and the Horrific

Congratulations to me for writing a post before 10pm. Why? I've got a meeting in 22 minutes and I have time to spare. And dumdidum I brought my laptop to campus today - which means, facebook, msn and selfistan.



I was on the bus today - as usual, it was raining. How sad.



And I saw a person - homeless (very sad) who was holding a guitar (very good), without a case (very bad) in the rain (oh the horror)



I felt bad for them: the homeless person and the misused guitar.



But, unfortunately, sanskrit was calling and I couldn't help either


How would i have helped them Arriba asks?



I would have....hmmm...hmmm...hmmm



actually...



no idea...





thus concludes another random post on Selfistan


(ps: this was actually written thursday at 6:08pm)

Ratrau part 2

I wonder how many of my posts I've written after 10pm. I have a feeling that most of them will have been written then...

hmm...

Ratrau - At Night

Once again, I am at my laptop in the early hours of the morning. I haven't been in school for 3 weeks and I'm already figuring out how to get through my second all-nighter without crashing onto the table. So far, tea, toast and banana bread have seemed to work. As well, it's pretty cold in my house, so that's another reason I haven't fallen asleep. But with my scarf and two blankets, no idea how much longer that's going to last.

I love these times of the night. It's uncommonly quiet both in my house and out on the street. The road outside, constantly buzzing during the day, is now silent. The other members of my household are also asleep. It seems, at this time of the night, that I'm the only person in this world, well, in this neighbourhood. And given my solitary nature and love of quiet corners (which doesn't necessarily mean I can't be gregarious), I adore this time of night. Perhaps that's why I keep on doing all my work during it.

Actually, that's probably wrong. As much as I love the night, all I want right now is some sleep and rest. But, I guess that'll have to wait.

Dumdidum

Yes, I dont have the brain capacity and strength to think of a better title

dont you hate it - well at least i do - when you've got so much work to get through and you try doing it but you're so distracted by other - at times more important - things that you can't do anything?

sigh..i need to sort out my life...otherwise i'm going to sink like a boulder

off to bed - finally

completely exhausted and it's only the second week of school...sigh

i guess this is what Mr. L was warning me against in June

.

what's the point of anything?
what's the point of poetry and music if it just makes you feel worse?
what's the point of trying to make something better if you know it won't work?
what's the point of trying to do that which you cannot do?
what's the point of caring so much that you think you're going to burst apart?
what's the point of



it's because i care so bloody much
it's because i feel obligated to do it
it's because all i want in the world is __________

it's because i'm afraid that i'll lose everything i have if i don't


and that freaks me out

Tere Sawalon Ke

Tere Sawalon Ke - Manorama: 6 Feet Under
Singers: Roop Kumar Rathod & Mahalaxmi Iyer

Tere sawalon ke woh jawab jo main de na de na sakoon (4)
Pighale se armaan hain do pal ke mehmaan hain
Aankhon ke aalon mein chaahat ki lo jalne do

Tere sawalon ke woh jawab jo mein de na de na sakoon (2)

O…dererena aan rererena rerena dererena rerena

Keh rahi hai jo nazar tujhe hai khabar ke nahin
Keh rahi hai teri nazar tu bekhabar to nahin
La la la la
Keh rahi hai jo nazar tujhe hai khabar ke nahin
Keh rahi hai teri nazar tu bekhabar to nahin

Tere bina zindagi hai adhoori tere bina kya hai jeena

Pighale se armaan hain do pal ke mehmaan hain
Aankhon ke aalon mein chaahat ki lau jalne do

Tum kaho to main rok loon jo tum kaho to nahin
Seene mein hai kaisi khalish teri kashish to nahin
Lalaloo lalala
O tum kaho to main rok loon jo tum kaho to nahin
Seene mein hai kaisi khalish teri kashish to nahin

Tere bina zindagi hai adhoori tere bina kya hai jeena

Pighale se armaan hain do pal ke mehmaan hain
Aankhon ke aalon mein chaahat ki lau jalne do

Tere sawalon ke woh jawaab jo main de na de na sakoon (2)
Tere bina zindagi hai adhoori tere bina kya hai jeena (2)
Jeena. Jeena.
