Lag Jaa Gale....
While I didn't stick to my every-month-post-one-song declaration, they had been songs that I had in my drafts section, which I somehow never posted. Here's one of them.
I haven't seen the movie but I like Sadhana's poise & Manoj's undecidedly mixed emotions to her.
Another slow melody.

Back Up Backfire
Now-a-days, we have a back up for just about everything. Even before we venture into something, we pre-plan the back-up just in case the venture doesn't take off. Whilst its good in things,
Honest relations can never be formed that way. If you are constantly keeping in your mind that you have a back up to rely on.. looking over your shoulder; the relation is never bound to get strong enough. The first difficult waters...or even a slight lack in the relation is sure to pull your mind to your back up. Once can never be present in the current relation that way. Can't take totally, can't give totally, can't belong in the now fully.
Sometimes you have to close the escape routes to really give your best to something-- before thinking to give it up or even knowing if that is what you really want.
Not every back up is a good plan.

Saaaar, Meee too!!!
I have to admit, I was no big Rajni fan till about a couple of months ago. I also admit that I haven't seen any of his movies in the cinemas till date. Whatever I have watched is on the small screen; on cable. Caught Sivaji too a month or so back.
While I liked him for all that I used to keep reading on & off about him, I never really understood the mass hysteria... (still don't as much..) I also remember having come across a newspaper space about him which I'd found hilarious then & I'd taken a pic from my phone. Never uploaded & forwarded it coz I thought it was amusing enough but not that good that I'd forward it. You see, I didn't understand his stature so well then. :P
Robot changed things. [Err.. I haven't seen that too yet...I'm going going!!] Suddenly, I started receiving sms'es about him since some time back. First I thought they were again a passing phase of the crazy things under his name, but I admit after the first 3 days, I actually looked forward to the messages on the 4th day. [that is when I decided to watch Sivaji on cable too :P] It actually grew on me. Now since I got interested in him, I obviously discovered more.
His simplicity, his philantrophy, his genuineness, his groundedness & most importantly, he as a father. [When a child talks about a parent in glowing terms, its THE biggest indicator for the kind of parent someone is.]
Coming back to the topic that actually made me go under his spell, are the impossible [Ohhh.. Possibly Only Rajnikanth! :P ] kind of sms'es I keep getting about him [I won't call them funny..coz maybe they're true!! ;) :P]
Putting up that not so clear image I have with me.. I am writing down that trivia about him for better reading too. Also, I've added a few of mine taking the total count to 50. I'm sure they're lots more..but I've mentioned my very fav ones that I haven't deleted from my phone from all these days. I'm sure it'll make better reading here!

I Thank...
Its the Thanksgiving weekend. Although we do not celebrate it in India, we all know about it thro' the ever compacting distance the virtual world creates for us.
& though I'm not in line for discount stores online or otherwise, [India should adopt something like this..! ] I'm not going to miss the opportunity to the preeminent purpose of the celebrations. To thank God for the blessings bestowed upon me.
In the numerous many things I am thankful to God for, I'd state atleast the ones which may be very common, yet I don't thank him enough for. [Somehow I've always related to my god as 'He.']
I'm thankful:

- for my education,
- for the good food I get to eat everyday,
- for my beautiful home,
- for the amenities of 2/4 wheeler that I move easily in,
- for my few priceless possessions,
- for the sensitivity that makes me feel for others making me relate to them better,
- for the people who care for me even when I'm non deserving,
- for letting me find the beautiful people whom I could love dearly & who encompass my world.. bringing an inexpressible joy in it,
- for making me a thinking person, which lets me accept things & evolve,
