My experiment with 55 :D

He stands in the middle of the D wearing a blue jersey, facing the green one and on the verge of making history.The refree whistles. A moment of silence. Blue is kneeling down at the same place surrounded by greens with his face sunk in his chest. Brazil rejoices while Italy can't believe.

A Hero falls.

An instance from the penalty shoot out in the 1994 world cup which brazil won because Roberto Baggio could not convert the decisive penalty.

To cut a long story short

I read about the concept of 55 fiction (wikipedia link) while doing some random surfing. And indeed it is a very potent idea.

Just go through this blog \Love and Longing. Aptly titled. I am pretty much sure anybody can conjure an idea in 55 words but can it be as moving and potent?

Comfortable

Well if things are perfect then it doesnt mean that they have to last forever. And that is the irony, because from there on one has to just compromise.

Listening to song Comfortable by John Mayer.

....
She thinks I can't see the smile thats she's faking
And poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
Gray sweatpants
No makeup
So perfect
........

:)

दिल से तुझको बे दिली है,
मुझको है दिल का गुरूर,
तू ये माने के ना माने,
लोग मानेंगे ज़रूर.

...........

ऐसे वीरने में एक दिन,
घुट के मार जाएँगे हम,
जितना जी चाहे पुकारो,
फिर नही आएँगे हम.

ये मेरा दीवानापन है,
या मोहब्बत का सुरूर,
तू ना पहचाने तो है ये,
तेरी नज़रों का कसूर.

Heard it in the movie "Namesake". Originally from movie "Yahudi". The song has been sung by Susheela Raman.

Bangalore Rains

Rain rain go away,
Dont ever come again another day
Frustrated Rahul wants to go to office some day (without being drench)


The bangalore rains can either make you very romantic (if you have a partner) or will make you very angry (like me).
Love it or Loathe it but you cannot ignore it. :||

Every other day while returning from office, I am getting wet. All my shoes, Jeans, T-shirt are wet.So now I have started keeping an extra pair of clothes and shoes in my bag especially for Bangalore rains.

Solution :- Buy a Car.
Immediate solution :- stop going to office on bike.

I feel good about life(la vie en rose)

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose.......

Recently I saw the movie WALL-E and no doubt that it was one of the finest I have seen.I liked the sweet and beautiful love story of WALL-E and EVE.

And indeed one of the finest sequence was the dance in the space by WALL-E and EVE. The captain of the ship asks the robot to define dancing and there we see WALL-E and EVE dancing rhythmically.

Getting back to the point....

Well I am not an exponent of Jazz music but I heard the voice of Louis Armstrong in the movie singing "la vie en rose". This is a french sentence and exact translation in english is "I see life in pink". Well it literally means, This is life.

The song is played when WALL-E is following EVE on her mission.There is an inherent beauty about this song and the way the trumpet is played.Especially when you are listening the same in complete silence and you are transported to a different world. Planning to listen to some more of louis armstrong and the some more of classic Jazz.

Some more research has yielded that this song was orignially sung by french singer Edit Piaf and there is also an oscar winning movie on her life titled la vie en rose (next in line to be watched).

When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.........
