Speed of Sound - Coldplay

The following song tells how I feel right now..And the same is my Caller tune..Good song I say..Enjoy

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand?

Ideas that you'll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn't read,
or a light that I couldn't see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah when you see it then you'll understand?

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you'd understand,
ah, when you see it then you'll understand?

Of Padhai n Poems

The only question hovering in my mind right now is 'what am I doing here wasting time and energy updating my blog instead of immersing in books?!' Oh, by books, I mean the study material which lies anxiously waiting to be read on my desk since half an hour(I left it stranded just to 'spend' time over my blog which was crying for attention since a month!)
Apart from my blog, my so-called 'talent'(I prefer to use the word 'flow'-talent-is a bigger word and don't like when my pals mention it for me) of writing poems persuaded me to kill my study-time and pen down a couple of lines. And I couldn't find a better writing space than my study module itself! This happened a week at a stretch but I managed to churn out two poems in a row! Good Job, Srisha. But what about the studies that I ditched for so many days?! No doubt, I am done with almost whole of this month's 'to-study-list' but the thought of not-studying-for-the-sake-of-poem(ing)-blogging gets me worried.

Gotto compensate for the same this week now..as they say, Jaisi Karni..Waisi Bharni..boohoo!!

vocab for the week 8

What is the difference between a 'hotel' and a 'motel'?

The word ‘motel’ is a combination of two words: ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’. In the old days, motels were invariably located on highways; they were mostly used by people who were travelling by car. Unlike a hotel, the rooms of a motel are not located inside a building. In the past, a motel usually consisted of a single row of connected rooms built on a parking lot. Nowadays, we have motels in the heart of cities, and they sometimes contain more than one floor. A motel is usually much cheaper than a hotel; the services it offers are rather limited: it usually doesn’t have a restaurant, and as a result doesn’t provide room service. The word ‘motel’, like the word ‘hotel’ has the stress on the second syllable.

Top of the World - The Carpenters

Heard the song for the first time in school when every alternate Christian girl sang the same in every singing competition! But it is indeed worth repeating..Just listened to it, enjoying every bit of the beautiful evening..Sing along with me then!

Such a feelings comin' over me,
There is wonder in most everything I see

Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes

And I wont be surprised if its a dream..


Everything I want the world to be,
Is now coming true especially for me

And the reason is clear
Its because you are here

You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen..


Chorus:
I'm on the top of the world lookin, down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that 'Ive found ever since you've been around
Your loves put me at the top of the world..


Something in the wind has learned my name,
And its tellin' me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
Theres a pleasin' sense of happiness for me


There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here..

Chorus:
I'm on the top of the world lookin, down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that 'Ive found ever since you've been around
Your loves put me at the top of the world..

Happee Buddae, Dear Blog!

The first day of June, Circa 2007.

Nothing special about it except that my blog just turned a year older! Its officially two years old now(disregarding the fact that i blogged about nothing in 2008) but that's not the point..Well, I re-kickstarted this year (thanks to my teacher who learnt that I blog-from another teacher of mine-who is one of my favorite writers) and no matter I am a day late in celebration (blame my articleship for that!), the point was just to mark the 3rd year of blogging! (gosh, what am I writing?!)

Hope I blog on better things..Kinda like writing but not up to the mark..But this is not so relevant since I blog for myself..Hehehe..Cheers! (hic!)

vocab for the week 7

How is the word ‘paean’ pronounced?

The first syllable rhymes with the words ‘bee’, ‘see’, and ‘fee’. The ‘ea’ in the second syllable sounds like the ‘a’ in ‘china’. The word is pronounced ‘PEE.en’ with the stress on the first syllable.

A ‘paean’ was originally a song sung in honour of the Greek god Apollo. Nowadays, the word is being used to refer to any work — film, song, piece of writing, etc — which praises someone or something.

The song is a paean to love and commitment.
