CRUSH - A usually temporary infatuation.
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

The Square Root of 3
I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three.
A three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a nine,
For nine could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic.
I know I’ll never see the sun.
Such is my reality,
A sad irrationality.
When, hark, just what is this I see?
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued,
And love for me has been renewed.

Convenience Relationships
Ever had one? I was in one recently.. well it didn’t start as one but it ended being one and that too for a whole darn year. And what did I get out of it.. nothing but misery and hurt. Still not sure what I am talking about? Read on…
So I have met a lot of folks who are in some or the other form of a convenient relationship. What I mean is that they live their lives in a fashion which suits them. Sometimes they are married and they don’t live together and sometimes they are just lovers who see each other over weekends or whatever. They have a great time both physically and emotionally when they are together. And what more, they don’t have to deal with all the crap of living together. They don’t have to deal with the daily compromises. They still feel they are in love. But a love with benefits. A love where there is no compromise. A love where they cheat on each other, sometimes unknowingly. And then they eventually see that what they have is not love and is not leading them anywhere. And then the inevitable happens. They break up. And what do they have left.. nothing but memories, often bad and a whole lot of wasted time. That’s what I am left with.
Why do we not see it coming? Why do we keep trying to hang on to the last thread when we know that it does not exist anymore… why do we not learn from our mistakes and from others… why ….. any answers…

The Savages
I am on a plane..flying back home to California.. and I just finished watching a great and a bit bizarre movie called 'The Savages'. The movie was about this family ( a brother and sister and their old father who is almost on the verge of dying).
The movie shows the true and sad face of life. It depicts the sad fact about nursing homes and the numerous guilty children who leave their parents over there to live alone the last few years of their lives. In my opinion it is the biggest dilemma of human life.. the thought of leaving a sick parent in the care of someone else to lead your own life in peace. I personally feel its one of the most difficult decisions that we have to take and it leaves us filled with guilt, sadness and unhappiness no matter which way we go. I don't know what is the right thing to do. My parents have done a lot (LOT) for me and I feel I definitely owe a lot of what I am to them. However, sooner than later I will be faced with the same situation and I have no clue what I would do at that point. However, it kills me inside even to think of them in that position.
What an irony of life.. the one who gives you life... life gives him nothing but loneliness at the end!

Hole in the world tonight
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
but all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
cool water running through the burning sand,
until we we learn to love one
another we never reach the promise land.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
but all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
cool water running through the burning sand,
until we we learn to love one
another we never reach the promise land.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

An amazing song by A.R. Rehman that has got me mesmerized !!! Lyrics to the song!
Tu Hai Zubaa, Mein Hoon Bayaan
Tu Hai Nihaa, Mein Hoon Hayaa
Tu Hai Zubaa, Mein Hoon Bayaan
Tu Hai Nihaa, Mein Hoon Hayaa
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tu Hai Nadiyan, Mein Hoon Sangam
Tu Nayaa Saal, Mein Pehla Mausam
Tu Hai Nadiyan, Mein Hoon Sangam
Tu Nayaa Saal, Mein Pehla Mausam
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen
Tere Bina Mein Beaasmaan
Tere Bina Mein Hoon Bezameen Tere Bina..

Tu Hai Sanaa, Mein Hoon Aana
Tu Hatheli, Mein Hoon Henaa
Tu Hai Sanaa, Mein Hoon Aana
Tu Hatheli, Mein Hoon Henaa
Aaj Elaan Yeh Kardenge,
Ek Hai Ek Rahenge
Jo Aajaaye, Koi Tufaan, Kabhi Raah Se Hum Na Hatenge
Is Berangi Duniya Ko, Pyar Se Hum Rang Denge
Wafa Ka Diya Chalaayenge, Har Ghar Be Noor Bahenge
Tu Hai Nazar, Mein Nazaara
Tu Hai Sagar, Mein Kinaara
Tu Hai Zubaan, Mein Hoon Bayaan
Tu Hai Nihaan, Mein Hoon Hayaa
Meherbaan…
