Well, show me the way to the next whiskey bar ... oh don't ask why

My room!!! My room !!!! ... sob .... sob ... sob ... I lost it . Its being renovated and I had to clear it up. Will be getting a swanky new one (being built on the terrace) but I lost my own room.. Everything is cleared from in there. It fucking echoes in there like its a bloody graveyard. I can hear my room's soul calling out to me "Don't leave me!!!".

Lots of memories there. I never thought I would be sentimental about it. Its just 10 by 10 God damn place surrounded by blue walls ... but it was mine. My space ... my retreat ... and now its like a pile of debris like war-torn Baghdad. I asked my girl friend out in that very room and we've been going out for 6 years now. I remember playing cricket, football, wrestling, hand tennis... (pretty much any sport that you can think of) with my cousins in that room. I remember looking out the window in the dark reminiscing ... contemplating the future... feeling lonely... I never knew that room meant so much to me and now that its gone I miss it soooooooooooo much.

I remember coming back from a 2 week trip in Europe and the thing I missed most is my loo and my room. My loo was like my ultimate sanctuary. Read many a book on the pot... relaxed that weary body after a good swim or basketball under the shower ... that shower just kicked butt.

All I can say now is RIP to my room. I miss you .... I always will

P.S : Sorry about the girly post.... but its just .... MY ROOM ... MY ROOM... sob .... sob ... sob...

Sing a song of six pence...

I love the fact that our culture is so deeply into music. Every occasion has a song associated to with it and every region has their own style of music. I really love this about Indians... but what I don't get is the fact that Indians are obsessed with making other people sing.

Everytime you are on the radio, in a party, in any kind of spotlight people want you to sing...
"Sir, one song sir"
"Sir, please sir"
"Sir, one stanza sir"
"Sir, come on, sir"
"Sir, one line, sir"
"Sir sir please"
"Sir one note .... you start and we'll all join you"

How many Indians haven't faced this kind of predicament before??!!! I mean, come on, some people don't want to sing people ( and most can't... yours truly heads that list ;)). I couldn't sing to save my life... and I wouldn't sing to save the little bit of self-respect I still enjoy.
