Music Day....

I did it!! I finally understood the lyrics to the Coldplay album!! And they are pretty good. Espically The Scientist, though why it is called that, I am not sure. Consider the lyrics:

---Begin lyrics---

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

---End lyrics---

So where does the scientist part come in?? But its a great song, all the same.

Moving on, my music collection expanded by two new additions. First, its a compilation of songs for Gemini people. Do you believe that?? The music people are coming up with songs for sun signs. It seems that Gemini persons like to listen to witty, restless and artful songs. So the cassette has Kuch Kehta Hai Yeh Saawan from Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Hum Tumse Mile from Rocky, Saamne Yeh Kaun Aaya from Jawaani Diwaani, Mausam Mastana from Satte Pe Satta and many more. An ok-to-bad purchase. Maybe when I am in my element (feeling all Gemini), I will listen to it. The cassette cover has picture of Kareena Kapoor on it.....is she a Gemini? I hope not!! But if she is, I like her henceforth. The second purchase is Maqbool!!! Yes, I finally purchased the audio for that movie, and its a nice purchased, I feel. Good music, great lyrics, ably sung by the singers, and just off the beaten bollywood tracks. Would have purchased the CD, but don't have a CD player in my car. Will buy CD, maybe later, when in India. So now, I am in possession of two absolutely great qawalis, Noor-Ul-Allah from Meenaxi, and Ru Ba Ru from Maqbool. As a plus, there are also Do Kadam Aur Sahi and Jhin Mini Jhini form these films respectively. In an age of 'Aaja ve mahi lets do balle balle' and 'Oh, what a babe!', its comforting and reassuring to know that such music is still being made.
And today's day was boring.

Witty Moment of the Day: So I am talking to my colleague S, and she is complaining about this being a slow, no-news day. And being super-efficient (she once single-handedly did three persons' work), it is wieghing heavily on her. so I say wisely,"You know, I always say at moments like these, 'Nothing is better than Something'". Get it? get? Am I smart or what??!!??

Also, After office, I am taking another of my colleague, A for dinner at Welcome. He wants to try Indian cuisine, and so I suggested Welcome. I expect him to pay.
