its raining.

its been raining since i woke up today. all whiteness outside the window. and it was still lashing when i woke up again. merciless and beautiful. so naturally i didn't go to office.
i know this love might go when i step out of the house and try to negotiate the city. so i promise you all i won't. working from home today as you can see. no, really :)

I started this one half way I think. Loved the half I saw. Also loved the half I didn't which I will. Very soon of course. Couldn't resist putting up this poster here. It doesn't matter that I don't know why I felt so good when it was over. Perhaps its the sheer joy of talking to strangers. And that beautiful thing which happens when they cease to be strangers as you are talking. Maybe I loved it so because these days I don't even talk to my friends enough. I know I am happy when I do.

So here is to talking to friends and strangers. And to life.

nothing is wrong with your life

days go by
nights too
you wake up
and fall asleep
and in between
you do things you do
you have everything
you think you need
and know nothing
of what you want
nothing is wrong with your life
nothing.

songs for a lazy sunday afternoon

"each coming night" by iron and wine. some sweetness :)

"black swan" by thom yorke .. for the softest utterance of the f word and other good reasons too:)

"this sweet love" by james yuill. for happiness. pure and simple.

and of course the promise of good food makes you love everything.

the beach ..

" .. never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite, and never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience, and if it hurts, you know what? It was probably worth it."

wow !!! there is a reason why this movie was in my top 5 movies list (way back when when i loved making lists ;)), and i don't even remember the other four right now.

there must be a reason why i loved the movie. maybe its got something to do with the word 'paradise' or maybe the fact that there is no such thing. not really sure why.

or maybe its the reason why we all love certain movies which leave you in a state of joyous bliss .. which make you want to go out and live .. furiously .. riotously ..

so i am going out now ..

on the weekend sitting on the steps in a mall

a beautiful girl
really beautiful
so i look at her
she doesn't
i keep looking
still nothing
comes along a man
and she goes away
but not before
throwing me a smile
so i smile back.
