Feb 2nd

its your birthday, and in my heart you are 71 old man... :) and im older too, i guess we'll be seeing each other soon. i miss your company, i really do. happy birthday dad.


I havent quite forgotten you
time has helped heal the pain
you are but bones and dust now
still, without you happiness i feign

These days that come by
memories, of happiness in my life
can they be relived ever again
or has it gone by and its only right?

I cannot close out this ode
and to it i will return
every year on this day
for your guidance i will yearn!

Poetry again

This ones for you my dear, may you always remember us well:

if i were to die tomorrow,
let it be known today,
that I have loved you, selflessly,
every single day

if it all came down and,
if this world were to end,
you should be the first to know
you have always been my best friend

if things turn sour,
and grey skies cloud our sights,
dont you ever doubt
that together, we'll be alright

if our lives take different paths
and we can no more be together
all i can say, that in our times as one,
i will love you forever

Malaysia

today is the day of the trip. Ive spent the past 4-5 days in and out of bed basically sick from a sore throat and the shivers. Yes, "oink" was the first word that popped into my head given that everyone has the swine flu. Doc says its acute laryngitis and that I will be ok. I still feel like crap though and am wondering how i will survive this flight. Of course the company of my lovely wife always makes things look up, so thats one avenue :)

ok, so checked out on client project, checked in mentally for malaysia. My gps is loaded with maps of malaysia and singapore. will be seeing my sis n mom there for 5 days or so. hoping for a nice vaca.

JJWS - Pehla Nasha

Was searching for some AR Rahman music and came across this oldie...brings back some fun memories from college with Ramesh, VK, and Vivek...broke as shit but watching hindi movies on saturday afternoons sucking down some rum that we would secretly smuggle into the theaters or even a smoke by the door...



Ah to be young, stupid and careless again :)

Boston Logan

Sitting at Boston Logan, 6 pm and wondering what was that AD that I loved the other day...yes...YOU/HTC




Now thats what I'm saying "and you trying to remember, and you, are trying to forget". Don't we all have that in our lives?

Aicha

from some time ago, still a magical song

Comme si je n'existais pas,
elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard, reine de "Saba",
j'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi

Voici les perles les bijoux,
aussi l'or autour de ton cou
Les fruits, biens mûrs au goût de miel,
ma vie, Aïcha si tu m'aimes

J'irai où ton souffle nous mène,
dans les pays d'ivoire et des baignes
J'effacerai tes larmes ou tes peines,
rien n'est trop beau pour une si belle

Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha,Aïcha regarde moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds-moi

Je dirai les mots les poèmes,
je jouerai les musiques du ciel
Je prendrai les rayons du soleil,
pour éclairer tes yeux de reine

Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha,Aïcha regarde moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds-moi
Refrain

Elle m'a dit: "Garde tes tresors,
moi je vaux mieux que tout ça
Des barreaux sont des barreaux, même en or
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Du respect pour chaque jour,
moi je ne veux que de l'amour "

Comme si je n'existai pas,
elle est passée à côté de moi

Sans un regard, reine de "Saba"é,
j'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi

Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi
Aïcha, Aïcha répond moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi

is this as good as it gets?

im starting to wonder about life, in general and more specifically. was there another reason other than working for a living that we have been put here. while i'm a big believer in focusing on the quality of our relationships that we share with our loved ones, families, friends and the overall good deeds one can do, i find that im more consumed with the moment at work. work drives my schedule, my life and my ability to live without the constant worry of not getting a task accomplished. i wonder, is this really as good as it gets?
