Not a fan of this country music but they do write some good lyrics!!
here goes a song from Zac Brown Band titled "As She's walking away"

We never spoke a word
But every thought she had I heard from across the room
We were standing face to face
I couldn't find the words to say give me one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish prides to blame

First Chrous:
Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away
and my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away

Wise man next to me did say
bout the one that got away
"son i missed my chance
Don't you let regret take place
of the dreams you have to chase
ask her to dance.... go on son
you might fall down on your face

roll the dice and have some faith"

Second Chorus:
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away

you might fall down on your face
roll the dice and have some faith

Third Chorus (and ending)
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be fall'n..., fall'n... , fall in love.... as she's walking awaaaay

life is but a struggle
filled with riddles
that only the master knows

Walk thro your designated maze
may be why not with some grace
for that is the least we can do

The POLAR TRIBE Types

2010-12-31T13:41:00.000-08:00

Its the end of another year, whether wonderful or a total wreck you can decide. The fun of these times is you get to rejoice on your assumptions being made 'hence proved' by TIME[i didn't refer the magazine here btw] or a very depressing 'hence proved' otherwise. You have a mile long list of great philosophers from you ancestral times claiming to take stalk of will-power and act on instincts during these times but the final duality of 'what if I' and 'what if I don't' rests in your hands to decide. With the stage set let me introduce you to the concept of 'POLAR TRIBE'

The Polar Tribe represents a fundamental duality by which we all can first determine distinction. The Polar Tribe is the world of black or white, yin and yang. In the beginning, God separated the heaven and the earth. Poles are not comfortable with gray areas or undecided matters. Ironically, Poles spend and inordinate amount of their time in just such situations. Polar Tribe is dedicated to establishing what it considers to be helpful, useful polarities that make decisions easy and obvious. Poles are not compromisers, but neither are they necessarily divisive. They seek harmony as do many, but they aren’t satisfied with someone being on their side. They want the situation to be obvious, the idea to be clear and without argument and the result to be final.

I'm Not Surprised
Not everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I've Stopped Keepin Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get all worked up
Than I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I thought of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That it'll All Turn up
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's half timing
And The Other half's luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You'll Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

hmmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That it'll All Turn up
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's fair
In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight it
?Get invited?
We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And girl Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

hmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I Work To Work It Up
Promise You Kid I Get More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get han I Get

Oh You Know That Will All Turn Up
And I will Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....

Wild things

2010-02-13T03:08:00.000-08:00

Time knew we never really acknowledged her presence
for a cup of coffee walking all the way in middle of night
talking about politics and politeness till the sun glowed its first light
oh my my Gone are the days when the tide was wild

SUbjects and finance took their fair share in the corner
laughter in the air, sarcasm n satire to pair made the air nothingless but happy
birthday bashes and weekend parties then went on countless but sloppy
oh my my Gone are the days when the tide was wild

then time came in striking us blind with her fury
everything of glory seem to fade and all that was left was few memories to name
Everything and anything had a deadline, meeting none needed someone to blame
oh my my Gone are the days when the tide was wild

sitting back now, that every coffees n time ride by, none only none to ride with
Future seems so bleak, everything from the past seem so golden and gray
running towards options never heard of, for Divine interventions you pray
oh my my Gone are the days when the tide was wild

I know my heart soars when I hear your name.
I know its your name when it takes a plunge .
what i really donno is when you go numb!!!

felling so lost, hugging on to things from the past
consoling thy self that everything don't last
what will i do when you go numb!!!

going head over heels for you was never my sin
believe me without you life was not all tht fun
oh what will i do when you go numb!!!

கண்ணிமையில் ஒரே ஆசை ஊஞ்சலிடும் வேளையில்
உண்மைகளை உள்மனதில் காண்பதில்லை
புன்னைகயில் நான் தூங்க ஆசை பட்ட வேளையில்
முள் மடியில் தூங்கும் நிலை ந்யாயம் இல்லை

Aussie's Star Trek!!!

2009-08-09T12:23:00.000-07:00

The Aussies Taking cricket to whole new level of mind game rather than just ground game...its surely surprising to see a game to be played with ball/bat and skill eventually gets to be played with skill and psychology.
for now it doesn convince me, a fellow cricket follower frm the nation that worships cricket n its players that INDIA and PAKISTAN matches alone are not the electrifying ones but AUSSIE and ENGLAND is .....
in simple terms one is a "Lord of Rings" while other is "STAR TREK"!!!

the following is an extract from dossier given to the Aussie Team by Justin Langer a former skipper himself o how to tackle each of the opponent.

English cricketers are lazy, crave the friendship of rival players and start making excuses when things go wrong, the Daily Telegraph has reported, quoting an Australian Ashes dossier.

The document, containing the thoughts of Somerset captain and former Aussie opener Justine Langer, was handed to the entire Australian squad before the first Test of the current Ashes series against England, the newspaper said.

The document says English cricketers are "lazy", "shallow" and "flat" - players who "love being comfortable".

Fast bowler James Anderson is described as "a bit of a pussy" if things do not go his way and skipper Andrew Strauss as too "conservative".

"English players rarely believe in themselves," says Langer.

"Many of them stare a lot and chat a lot but this is very shallow. They will retreat very quickly. Aggressive batting, running and body language will soon have them staring at their bootlaces rather than in the eyes of their opponent--it is just how they are built."

"Because of the way they are programmed, they will be up when things are going well, but they will taper off very quickly if you wear them down."

"Because they play so much cricket, as soon as it gets a bit hard you just have to watch their body language and see how flat and lazy they get," says Langer.

"This is also a time when most of them make all sorts of excuses and start looking around to point the finger at everyone else--it is a classic English trait from my experience."

The Daily Telegraph said the document warns the current Australian side not to be too friendly with the England team, as they did in 2005 when England won the biennial series 2-1.

"They (English cricketers) like being friendly and 'matey' because it makes them feel comfortable," Langer says.

"In essence this is maybe the key to the whole English psyche - they love being comfortable. Take them out of their comfort zone and they don't like it for one second."

Langer is also quoted as advising Aussie cricketers to sledge England wicketkeeper Matt Prior.

"I would chip away at him about his wicketkeeping. I would be reminding him about how it could see him out of the team. I would definitely work his ego."

Langer's plan for batsman Ravi Bopara, the paper said, was silence: "He is sure to wind the boys up by his strutting around, but I would leave him alone."

Life has killed the dream I dreamed

2009-07-27T10:21:00.000-07:00

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

she slept a summer by my side
she filled my days with endless wonder
she took my childhood in his stride
But she was gone when autumn came

And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

Fantine

How true life has killed quite a few dreams i dreamed .....
only to make me debate the decisions at will...
We start out so wide-eyed, naive, and optimistic,
only to be lost somewhere along the way
in this vicious circle of life ...
We dream to be back to claim the lost tracks
but all we do is DREAM ...
how true life has killed the dream i dreamed .

உன்னோடு இருந்த ஒவ்வரு மணி துளியும்
சொர்க்கம் என்னிடம் சிறை கைதீ ஆனதடி
கடினமான பாதைகளும் கடந்த நேரங்களும்
பின்பு நோகியபோழுது ஒரு நொடி போலே தொன்றியடடி.

காலம் என்னுடன் போிட்ட தருணம்
என் பொக்கிஷம் கையை விட்டு போன அந்த நிமிடம்
மனம் மறக்க இயலாதடி...

நான் கண்ட இந்திரா லோகம் இன்று பருவம் மாறி
உணர்வுகளை மூடி வேறொரு சாரதி ஓட்டிசெல்ல
ரதத்தில் ஊர்வலம் சென்ற அந்த கோலம் தான் என்ன...

இலக்கை நோக்கி செல்லும் என் பயணம்
அதில் நீ காலத்தின் மற்றொரு
பசுமையான பரிமானம்
:)
