...COLDPLAYing my mind...

listening to : coldplay – the scientist

whoa, the smell of freshly wet earth wafting through the windows…
just takes you higher, lifts your spirits to a different plane, altogether…

makes you enjoy whatever you are doing...even typing mindlessly...
and with coldplay you can never complain…

man, one of the guyz from college plays their clocks so well on his electric, it’s just truly amazing…
and their personal favourite of mine is the scientist alongwith yellow, their debut act…

the scientist

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,
ah let's go back to the start,
running in circles,
calling tails, heads on a silence apart.
nobody said it was easy,
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 fingers,
pulling the puzzles apart,
questions of science,
science and progress,
did not speak as loud as my heart,
tell me you love me,
come back and haunt me,
i want to rush to the start,
running in circles,
chasing 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.

hmmm…
the downpour was liberating… to say the least…
and the accompanying thunder and lightning was astounding…
went out with my buddies in the evening, and got wet as a consequence…
and it was no surprise for us as one guy had predicted that it would rain at least for a few hours one of these october evenings…
and everyone had laughed at him…
talk of getting vindicated and that too, by the ever elusive weather…
hehe…
we just sat and watched the sparks fly in the sky for quite some time…
and getting wet in the rain has a profound effect on me…
it just washes away all your worries…and you feel so free, so light, like a bird soaring high up in the sky…
and one of the best things that I like about the monsoons is a ‘dance of lights’, yeah, that’s what I call it…
there’s a place just ten minute’s walk away from my home…
you go there and you can only hear the sound of gushing water…in the darkness…
and then you will see a spectacle that you cannot find anywhere else in this city of bombay…
hundreds of fireflies dancing to the rhythm of the flowing, gurgling water…
small, small, green lights blinking away as though entrapped by some mystical and invisible symphony…
and till last year the street lights in that particular place were dead…
and that just accentuated the effect…
one of the best surprises that you can show your significant other…
or…
one of the ways to behold heaven on this earth…

and of course you can't expect to see the same spectacle in the month of october...

for this you have to wait patiently till the monsoons...

all but one stumbling talks are over…
am just wishing that our new taskmaster is a decent guy and not one of those sadists from my abode…
and the other taskmasters were no lame guys…
nobody could dare brag about anything…
either you knew it or you didn’t…
and if you dared then you would be screwed royally…
all thanks to our stars… and to our college(sic)…
