Fallin in love all over again!!!


I am writing this post with a headphone plugged in my ears listening to the choicest songs on Jango.com.
you people might think this post is an extension of my earlier post on ROCK! http://optimumiconoclast.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-tryst-with-rock.html
you might be true but partially only.in this post I am goin to write of only one band,THE BAND,in my opinion the GREATEST band ever.
------------------------------------PINK FLOYD ----------------------------------------there are no words to describe them.They truly make you feel that you are coming back to life,your true life.

I still remember the first day when I heard them,my cousin,already a huge fan showed me a video(dont remember the song) with lots of instrumental but I wasnt impressed.Those were the days of Bryan Adams(just for the sake of impression "Wish you were here"is now playin,my all time fav.)

The first song i heard of this psychedelic band was non other than another brick in the wall!!!!

It took time to sink in but when the "cement" dried up its indestructible,no one ,nothin can remove Floyd from my veins.

While going to cal I had a very borin time,and obviously lot of time to think about lot of stuffs!!!!! :)

with my N73 plugged in I was listening to all sorts of songs(again for info sake I do not have a single Hindi movie song in my mobile!!)

I decided after much debate and trepidation,songs can be divide into three categories.

1)First category which includes those songs which are likened immediately but slowly gets erased from your memories....eg:Hindi Marsala songs

2)Second category includes songs which you like from the first and you continue to like them.I wont give general examples since this is completely individualistic but my choices would be old Bengali adhunik,old Hindi songs and definitely some English bands like metallica and Guns n Roses.

3)The third and category only and only contains pink Floyd.PERIOD!

You will take quite some time to fall in love but once getting hooked it is indelible,that i can vouch for
The difference between the second and third category being that the third category songs will always feel like new,as if you are likin it for the first time i.e fallin in love again and again........
In my earlier post I had hailed GnR,but now I realised they are songs fit for 'Good Times"

PINK FLOYD is for every season,every moment,you will savour it.


WARNING:Try Pink Floyd at your own risk,there are chances of addiction.

Good Times,Bad Times!

well its been a long time!!!
long long time since I managed to write something here.I had promised myself that I will write something after coming from cal,but finally I understood what work means[:)].I simply had no time,the little bit time I get after my office goes into my new love-TableTennis.Now atleast an hour of TT is must.Today due to some inconveniences TT area is blocked off,so here I am.
Often I think today I will write,write my heart off,but irony being That day I WONT BE ABLE TO WRITE,THATS LIFE.
things have been strollin along,get up at 7 o'clock in the morning,run to office stay there till 8:30pm(thats intentional).sleep like a dead dog on weekends,my friends joke that I die for some hours on Saturday morning!!!!
One thing I have understood after leaving cal,that is how much i love that city.Maybe the city is crowded,dirty,unruly...whatever you say I am still in love with that city,staying away from home has made that love even more deeper and sometimes obsessive.
On the other hand Chennai is quite good(I am not jokin dudes!!!),what we call in bengali "nirjhanjhat".But life becomes borin during the weekends,nothin is here man!!!!
no good bars!!!!no good malls albeit one or two(can you imagine!!!)...so what to do but SLEEP!!!!:)
I believe I see life now in adifferent perspective,more serious,more mature.Lets see how long this life goes!!!I am truly living "good times,bad times"!!!
