Wake me up inside --Evanescence Amy Lee




Love this song for some special reasons... :)




How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb

Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there
And lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you, all the life upon the die

(All of this I, I can't believe I couldn't see)
(Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

(Without a thought)
(Without a voice, without a soul)
(Don't let me die here)
(There must be something more)
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O' Sullivan





In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

A short stay at Noida

I am here in Noida for abt 2 weeks for the migration activity at customer site. Wohoho...weird place...Yeah thats my first impression.....
Its mostly been work...work..work and little bit of sleep...since the day I am here...But u know what the first weekend here....hmmm....aaa....ehm ehm...Just wanna check if its really 24hrs in a day or someone added more....Yeah I am not able to kill the time....


Ok lets start with vehicles, traffic....people here.....First comes the AUTO RICKS....The auto ricks here have a tradition to follow. The mirrors have two heart shaped pictures on either side. One heroin and the other a hero....thats not weired yet....whats very funny is the two would have never acted in any movie ever and I dont see any possibility as well. Aishwarya and Kamal Hasan, Jugal Hansraj and Simiran....or wait a minute...not sure if its North South integrity!!!!


Friday evening 4 of us hopped into the same rick to get back to our rooms. Oh Man you need to check out the driving skills and traffic sense of these people here.....Breath taking!!!! The moment the auto geared up to move, I had the experience of my life. He started with a steep left turn...with a jhataka giving jerk and smashed to the road like street hawk....I still can't comprehend how he started the rick and the heavenly motion at the same time!!! Since I had the privileged seat at the corner, with no support, no barrier....I was almost sure the momentum is going to throw me out any moment.....HUH...zor ka jhatka dheere se lage!!!!

Since its the first time I was out in Noida and it wasn't dark yet, I had some time to peep out to glance the decorum of the city.....HAHA guess what..... I am reminded of the funny forwards I used to laugh at....Funny shop names.."Lovely Mobile Repair", "Sagar: North, South and Indian food available", 


The road barriers are conveniently occupied by the pan wala, chat wala, tanda juice wala.....People enjoy their junk food with all serenity right in the middle of the traffic....well as long as someone doesn't bump into them. 


Now to add to the driving skills of Noida vehicle owners!!!!
In traffic jams, the bike riders squeezing through the crowd will insert their bike handles and sometimes even their head with a funny helmet right into the neighbors open windows of the vehicle....Yeah right...you can imagine....I would suddenly see a handle with a hand in front of my face, the rick driver would be distracted with a helmet head next to him...well given the way he was driving, not that he was concentrating on anything important ...but still....


The riders have this amaizing sense of responding to their skillful co-riders. Yup.....they demonstrate true brotherhood in the midst of traffic jams and signals.....If a vehicle at the back HONKS.....they will do anything to make way...break the signal and move on, take the bike on to the divider.....anything for you brother, anything.....HUH just that I had a few breathtaking moments......


More to follow...specially on the shop names....!!!! :)

I knew Not…Until you passed by….




Bemused bird in the nest,
Set out in a quest,
Met the fragrant flower in mire,
Perplexed by the vision of dire,
He left me though I turned by
And bloomed to the unknown just to cry
I knew not what love is
Until You passed by….

Petals of heart bloomed up in love
Glittering stars carried down by dove
The vicinity turned into starry heaven
Angels flew down made my world an Eden
Bewildered heart pounced loud
Tears showered with blissful cloud
I knew for sure that from all above
Vanguard of search merged in love
And then I said…I knew not what love is
Until You passed by….

Then the thunder struck in silence
Quivering current withdrew the fragrance
Depopulated my Eden as its void of you
You without me is it true or untrue
Weeks passed, days passed, moments ticked away
I stood still on the desolated island waiting your way
My world ceased, to my cinematic extinction
Needless of my presence came the realization
that …..I knew not what love is
Until you passed by…

Cursed is the painter with a myth in his art
Cursed is the life with the heart broken apart
Protagonist in the monologue dialect
The life is now a mere posthumous enact
