Get closer to me and baby hold on tight
'Cause every thing's gonna be alright."

"It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope,
Which then turned into a quite thought,
Which then turned into a quite word.
And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry.
I'll come back when you call me.
No need to say goodbye."
- Regina, ost Prince Caspian.

"Rooth na jana tum se kahoon to,
Main in ankhon mein jo rahoon to.
Tum yeh jano ya na jano,
Tum yeh mano ya na mano,
Mere jaisa diwana tum paoge nahin.
Yaad karo ge main jo na hoon to
Rooth na jana tum se kahoon to"
- Need I say?

"Is rang badalti duniya mein kya tera hai kya mera he,
Dekh bhai dekh, dekh bhai dekh,
Zamana hai rangeen."

"Tum jo mil gaye ho, to ye lagataa hain,
 Ke jahaan mil gayaa."

This time, shoot the one listening to me sing. I make one wish for a kinder death.

A Man I Know

I asked him once when I was much younger, "How do I catch a ball?". "Well, first you have to look at it and only at it. Your hands will know the rest." More recently he told me, when I was very nearly a wreck, "You are supposed to worry the whole year. But not the day before the exam. At worse you won't do well. But even that can't make you stop being you. You'll remain my daughter, in spite of it all."
He told a 7 year old about focus, a 17 year old about individuality.
Yes, he is full of good and practical advice. For which I love him.
And that goes some way to make his jokes bearable.
Just.

Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing.

Look wise; say nothing and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.

The most precious things in speech are pauses.

I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out.

Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

I did some major blog advertising yesterday.
Worked!
My deep, sincere love to all I threatened.

Do you people think I should revert to the old header pic.?

"Dharti Mein 'Pralay'!"

I have also taken to speaking to myself. Out loud.

Barely English, or perhaps not at all

Wheels of Dawn (Akatsuki no Kuruma)

You so-ho-HO have to listen to (and read: english subtitles) this one.
It is a Japanese song sung by  Yuuka Nanri.

And, someone please translate this for me-
‘Lordy, them as is on the rattling lay don’t take to slumming kens!’
I believe it belongs to some Heyer book. Found it scribbled behind my eco notebook. I must have pondered upon the rather obscure remark myself sometime. Clearly, I failed. Maybe it's in code...
Well, your guess is as good as mine.
