It's Blue Out There....

Seated outside am I, as the clouds just gave way,
Its raining again, and not a soul out there,
Enjoying this hour, wont make a move or sway,
Before it stops, before the sun's out again.

Oh, here he comes, piercing the clouds, with his rays,
Taking away what seem to me, the three probabilities
Realizing my wishes are in vain, he will replace,
The rain, the peace and all the tranquility

As often... screaming, playing and undisturbed,
I hear them, as the kids are back in the open,
For the sun has all the glory now, only stolen
The same the rain had some minutes ago, forgotten

He's hiding behind the clouds now, at times a peer,
With his rays like fingers, feeding the light,
To the places in darkness, distant from here,
Appearing farther, yet not so far from sight.

He's done all he could, and the day now comes to an end,
Unlike everyday, but in a surreal and unusual way,
The three of them, the rain, the sun and now the moon
I got a chance to see......... all on the very same day.

- It feels gr8 to come up with stuff on a rainy day.......

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!

yeah........ began drawing at 2 am which went on for 4 hrs and then i decided to doze off a bit and woke up at a modest 10 am [:P]...... im talkin clocks ain't I?

The afternoon was all about the admission chaos... which ain't over yet..... and to top it all ..... A SYSTEM CRASH! Thank God the comp gave me time to save my bro's and sis' stuff! Phew! My stuff.... well let's say..... KAPOOT! LOL!

So One Helluva Day!

And am back to sketching now........ where's BILL? U ARE A DEAD MAN, MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Time.....

Stumbled down a cliff, and am now down on the ground,
Do I lie right here, or will I help myself up
The masks may think i've given in and be stun(ned),
But I have decided and the latter's already begun.....

She Builds Quick Machines!!!!

"Nah! They ain't anything great........" Have heard this many times. Well, I definitely never thought so! What I believed was that if they were given some time, they'd rock! The guys from Velvet Revolver just proved me right with their first single 'She Builds Quick Machines'!!!!!!!!

A slick start on the drums, bass kicks in and the demon that is "She Builds Quick Machines" starts with a Kushner rhythm...... Slash fills in, Weiland brings back the days of STP and the chorus belts hard! Duff's back-up makes the chorus catchier. The bridge that follows is a clean Weiland who leaves the rest for Slash who does a mindblowingly fast solo, reminiscent of the GN'R days!

And last but not least, the guys who belt Weiland off as a bad vocalist are made to think twice!(Roll Over, right!) And from what i've heard of this album, its clear how catchy Weiland can get with the vocal lines! They just managed to smash right through the spotlight, if you ask me! Rock Hard VR!!!!!! \m/

THE PERFECT PACKAGE!

hmm........... A Perfect Circle......... reminded me of Tool at first listen... Well, Ofcourse! With James Maynard Keenan on vocals, what do u expect! The music's similar to Tool too. But what i realized was that one can't categorize their music. Every song's different from the other. And the lyrics are dark as ever, yet the melody makes you wanna sink into the ever so deep sea that is the band's music! So the dark lyrics, melodic vocal lines , great unpredictable guitar riffs, dark yet groovy bass lines and the aggression seem to bring to picture A Perfect Circle. Though now on a hiatus, if they come up with a fourth album, it'll be a Killer hands down!!!!

Peace Out!

BLACKENED!

"Of Life In Black & White

Enter Sin City, Meet That Darker Side"

Picked up a Sin City issue yesterday at Crosswords, nope didnt buy it though, cash anyone? :p

Was totally in awe with the artwork inside, amazing what black and white can do to a story..... Lotsa violence which can make you cringe, but with the artwork and a pinch of dark humour here and there, you'll be left with the thought "Hell, I should have bought that!" I definitely felt that way.... :)

HOW APT!!!!!

Came home by bus today...... was an amazing experience, I gotta say. Especially with the music on. My companion throughout the journey was my Discman (would have died without it!). So the journey starts with me plugging in my discman and listening to an assorted songlist..... started with some Bush and went on to an entire cycle of Radiohead's The Bends. Then I thought maybe Iron Maiden would be good but just couldn't go the whole way. As the bus exitted Mumbai, I changed to Army Of Anyone and Audioslave which are both good 'On the Move' kinda albums. After shuffling through 4 cds, I decided to listen to Stone Temple Pilots, all 5 albums back to back. Could listen only to 4 albums, but what I realized yesterday was that "Core" their first album seems an awesome Roadtrip kinda album! The lyrics of most of the songs seemed to coincide with whatever I saw and thought on the journey. Started with Dead and Bloated at the first stop after Mumbai and as the bus began to move, I was already onto the next track Sex Type Thing with the line "Here I come, I come, I come, I come".... was like me saying here I come B'lore ! As I moved to Wicked Garden the surroundings were awesome mountains and trees everywhere. Then the bus went up a flyover and as we came down to take a left, the road seemed to get lower and lower as another flyover began to the right...right time for the line of the song Sin "Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong"

Next track in, Naked Sunday left an awesome feeling in my head as the bus was again on a flyover rising high with similar surroundings, high mountains and trees and a clear sky.... A right place to scream like Weiland does on this song. Creep among all this made me realize what a great life I have ahead of me and the shame of letting it go....wasted! Then the dark Piece Of Pie brought me back to reality. Plush...... a fitting song for any situation! As I was still half-way through the thought of "Life's so beautiful, want to enjoy every second of it, Wanna stay back here, till I find the reason for life" there are the lines....
"And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going ´til tomorrow?...........
Got time, time, wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it"

The next Morrison kinda track Wet My Bed begins and I can see a tunnel starting ahead, little far though......and just as the bus enters the tunnel the last jokey line "Hehe, Now What?" leads me into Crackerman and all of a sudden I'm through 3 tunnels with Weiland going
"Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away, gotta get away
And I think I think too much
I don't care, yeah but I don't care
Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away, gotta get away
And I think I think too much" and as this song is done a lot on the megaphone, it gives you that echo kinda feeling inside the tunnels! Amazingly apt!

Then I move onto the next track as the many tunnels go past and the Sun begins to set. This time with all the lovely scenery around one couldn't consider Where The River Goes being a more fitting end to the evening.... and the lines again.....
"I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes"

And as the Deleo brothers take me through the enchanting rhythm and music, I notice that the Sun isn't there anymore! The sky's all dark now and I just finished listening to an album which showed there's more depth to it than just the music!

So if you ask me whether I enjoyed the journey............... I'll give you a big HELL YEAH!
