Blah & Bleh!

I was here!

Turn The Page – Bob Seger

Em
on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
D
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
A                                                     Em
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

and your thoughts will soo be wandering the way they always do
when your riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do
you don’t feel much like travelin’, you just wish the trip was through

CHORUS:
D               Em
but here I am, on the road again
D               Em
here I am, up on the stage
D               A
here I go, playing the star again
C  D         Em
there I go, turn the page

you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as your shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to explode

sometimes you hear ‘em talkin’, other times you can’t
all the same ‘ole cliche’s is that a woman or a man
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

CHORUS

out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play

later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin in your head
and you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what you said

Hurt – Johnny Cash

C      D      Am         C      D       Am
I hurt myself today   to see if I still feel

C       D      Am         C       D        Am
I focus on the pain   the only thing that’s real

C        D        Am          C      D      Am
The needle tears a hole   the old familiar sting

C       D      Am           C       D       G
Try to kill it all away   but I remember everything

Am          F             C        G
What have I become?   My sweetest friend

Am          F           C          G
Everyone I know   goes away in the end

Am                     F         C       G
And you could have it all   My empire of dirt

Am              F             C        G
I will let you down   I will make you hurt

C           D        Am         C      D     Am
I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liars chair

C          D        Am    C     D     Am
Full of broken thoughts   I cannot repair

C           D         Am         C       D      Am
Beneath the stains of time   the feeling disappears

C         D      Am    C     D     G
You are someone else   I am still right here

For this last part just strum a G

If I could start again   A million miles away
I would keep myself   I would find a way

This is one of the songs that everyone plays when they start learning guitar.

Verse 1

G               D          Am
mama takes this badge for me
G             D          C
i cant use it any more
G                 D              Am
its gettin’ dark , too dark to see
G                        D             Am
feels like i’m knocking on heavens door
G                        D            C
knock knock knockin’ on heavens door hey hey hey he ya
G                        D            C
knock knock knockin’ on heavens door    mmmmm ya ya ya
Verse 2 continues like that….
mama put myguns on the ground
i cant shoot ‘em any more
that cold black cloud’s comin’ down
feels like i’m knockin’ on heavens door…. and again play the Chorus

I *heart* Phunsukh Wangdu

I am madly in love with Phunsukh Wangdu! Those who have ‘3 Idiots‘ will know what I am talking about.

Aamir Khan has always been one of my favourite actors. I have had a crush on him ever since school, when I first saw him in ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak‘ crooning ‘Papa Kehte Hain‘. He’s simply too good – an amazing actor. Not too forget too cute :)

The movie ‘3 Idiots‘ was a huge entertainer. It’s quite different from Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’. I loved the movie. R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani, Kareena Kapoor and the others have done justice to their respective roles too… and it’s Aamir Khan after all. Also, his uncanny resemblance to an idiot made me quite cheerful. The movie had a smooth flow and not one dull moment.

I’m fida over Aamir’s look as Phunsukh Wangdu towards the end. Going on 44 yrs and playing the role of a 22 yr old..only he could have pulled it off . Well done. Aal Izz Well :)

Happy 2010

It’s a strange day today. I have mixed feelings towards things. There’s Leona Lewis singing on TV..the rest goes without saying.  I really hope this year is better.

Good bye 2009

Last day of the year..incidentally also the last day of the decade and the last of the single digit years. Hope its a last of a lot of things undesirable and we make a positive difference in the coming year. We’ll take a cup of kindliness…For auld lang syne, my dear…

Thought Of The Day

God helps those who help themselves…not those who help others :(

I’m Shibani

I had gone for a meeting today. There, some lady asked me, ‘Are you Kashmiri?’. It was probably my sense of humor in a stressful situation that I promptly replied, ‘No, I’m Shibani’. The ‘and I’m a Sindhi’ only followed later. Everyone had a good laugh. Trust me to say the weirdest things at the most inappropriate times :)
