The Fading Light

For those who've read my earlier post (the glorious light ----> HERE )
You'll probably kinda understand this one, if you haven't read it, take a look, maybe it'll help.

This is a poem i wrote quite a while ago, and it seemed appropriate to put it on the blog only after a good deal of time had passed since i had written it. Anyway, for the individual involved....... i hope your Goa trip had never happened, and i wish i hadn't said or done the things that i did/said.

For those not involved with it, just enjoy it, or try to, or atleast act as if you've enjoyed it!

The Fading Light.

To Nupur...

I long for you like I always did,
The distance never did me good.
The light is fading, that glorious light.
I wished I would see you, but I never could.

Time apart you said, would help.
I believed you then, I don’t know why.
The light is fading, that glorious light.
I desire you again, as I look to the sky.

I miss the glory, I miss the jollity.
I tried to forget you, and I failed miserably,
The light is fading, that glorious light.
I can’t live without you, I know now.

I’ts getting darker, it’s hard to think.
Your memory clouds around me, pictures of you everywhere.
I made too many mistakes, I accept.
But the pain is too much, its too much to bear.

I languish in the agony of my loss.
I want you back, I need you back.
The light is fading, that glorious light.
Take my apology, my love, before I crack.

Will you come back to me, will you be mine again.
Forgive me, Rescue me from this plight.
I promise not to err again, I cannot so dare.
The light is fading, that glorious light.

Sarkar Raj

Again, I find myself devoid of the ability to write poetry. I don’t really understand the mechanism behind this, sometimes it just flows, and sometimes it just doesn’t! I don’t really know how to tackle this, but then it’s been quite a while since I posted anything on this blog. This would probably be the next post after the “meme” (pronounced /mi: m/), [or so I’ve been led to believe]. Anyway, back to the point. Since I wasn’t able to conjure up some poetry, I decided to write about the next thing that comes to mind – POLITICS. Yeah I know it seems a little weird to relate poetry with politics, IT IS! I’m not really relating them at all. It all started after I watched SARKAR RAJ. I quite enjoyed the movie, and I spent a lot of time in Pimpri where I was closely related to the political happenings of the place. I saw how politics in India works in real-time. This might not seem like something special or something interesting to many, but take my word for it, IT IS! (I like using caps [;)] )

So when I watched this movie, it brought back a few random thoughts. I had seen the first installment of SARKAR, so I had some clue about how the movie would be. I was surprised. The first one had a lot of action and a bit of politics. This one was all politics. I don’t wish to ruin the suspense for people that haven’t watched it yet (oh but I do, I just have an evil streak – so anyway about half way through the second half, Abhishek Bacchan kicks the bucket). LMFAO. Seriously!

Back to the point, this movie gives a vague idea about how ruthless politics is in India and especially in Maharashtra. A lot of people that will watch the movie will think it’s just glorified. But believe you me, this is almost exactly what really happens. There’s this whole Peshwe vs Maharaz vs Saheb War that goes on, (Vilasrao Deshmukh vs Thakarey vs Sharad Pawar, the nicknames are used in by politically involved people in Pimpri, that’s where I picked it up). Anyway, this movie makes this kinda political intrigue very familiar. It impressed me, irrespective of what the critics might say, I loved it.

Aishwarya Rai – Bacchan (yeah that sounds vague to me too) was really hot. Which is a plus point, Abhishek Bacchan was present (I cant say much better), Amitabh Bacchan is GOD, atleast in the second part of the movie, that old geyser can give any born actor a run for his money even when he’s half asleep or high!

It’s all political intrigue, a well woven plot, its like a goddamn spider-web. Brilliant, but seriously confusing at times. There’s a whole lot of conspiracy, a thrilling mystery movie. But believe me, if you aren’t into Indian politics, or haven’t ever experienced anything remotely close to Maharashtra politics, stay away from this movie, its difficult to relate to! I know I have, so I’ll go ahead and rate this movie 4 outta 5.

The Brand MEME

I was glancing through Mo's blog, and i came across an entry where he'd done this brand meme. At the bottom of that post, i realised he'd tagged me to do a meme myself. From his post
[ HERE ]; it wasn't very difficult to understand what it was. Though there exists a challenge here. Anyway, before i get to that, let me explain briefly what a meme really is. Well the idea behind this, as Mo would put it is "Take any day in your life and chart out all the brands you have used"

I did this, firstly i listed out all the stuff that i use on a normal day, then listed out the brand-names of all those things. Then i set about trying to put this on a blog. This is where the problem happened. If you've taken a look at Mo's blog entry, you'll notice that after the stuff that's written, there's a whole lot of brand images stacked up rather nicely. THIS was particularly hard for me, cuz i dont know how to put images on the blog. There's one solitary image on this blog, i guess you've noticed that. So this was the hard part. Well, anyway i googled a search to find out how to put images on the blog. It listed out the basic method, which i figured would be functional, but wouldn't make my entry as presentable as his. I kept searching for other methods, and it turns out there's various blog websites & all of these have different methods of uploading pictures/images. I finally got rather pissed off and decided to go the old way and just upload them and not worry about how the blog looks after i've published the entry.

So, i dont quite know how this is going to turn out. But, i'm hoping for the best. Alright. Here's the list of brands that i use on a normal day.
