My Issues

Sorry for abrupt post the last time, as I was telling you I was too busy watching mentalist. Anyhoo, it’s all done now, I found out who Red John was so, peace. Talking about the post-mentalist period, I get by these days by not answering my phone. You wonder why. Because 90% of the time its P. Let’s see how it goes.

6 PM: Incoming Call, Ignored

6.02 PM: Message: Bitch I m am going to kill you! Pick up the phone

6.10 PM: Message: I am super pissed you better call!!!                        

6.15 PM: Reply: Dude, I m busy, working till 9. Can’t make it to Totos/Movie/Marine Drive/Colaba

6.20 PM: Message: You are gonna die! 

                                                                        

This is how my life is talking to people only via message because I am busy. Remember, a few posts ago, how happy I was about the job, its 10 to 6, I don’t have to work on weekends, my boss is super cool. Well, it’s all a big lie! I am working my ass off every day and they have put me in another project even before the current one ended. My next week is going to be so freaking bad. Mumbai-Bangalore-Mumbai-Chennai. I have to finish the 11^th hour work of one project and jump headlong into another.

And on top of it P wants to go everywhere. Me , the plan ditcher thinks otherwise, you see when you have been working you ass off all day, you would rather go sleep than go to some pub and get sloshed.I like my lazy Sundays though. We go to Colaba, shop around a bit, walk to Marine drive, and have a nice take out dinner from Bade Miyan with the cool sea breeze and a hot cup of coffee.  

P hijacked our Saturday night tradition and invited over some more people from our Hell Days. It was so bad, I was in Totos, they had REM playing in the background and here I am making small talk. I would rather sit at home and do nothing that go out and meet people, which P obviously doesn’t get, so the tiff is still on.

Anyways enough of the family drama, lets get to the good part. My new find, These days by Nico. I am so in love with the lyrics, it’s the perfect song for me right now.

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them

Such perfect lyrics and Nico’s voice is so haunting, check out the Elliot Smith cover too. These lyrics seem to say the exact things that I have been trying to write for quite some time. Don’t you feel lucky when you find a song like that :) One of my friends have this gift of finding the right song for every occasion. I wish I can do that but I try. Anyways not too much happening right now the final dead line lurking round the corner.

Ohh I totally forgot I am going to Chennai for my next project. I am already dreaming of Murugan Idlis. After going to Madras Café and Komalas, all I can think of is the perfect Sambar (It’s not too much to ask is it?)

Au revior, à bientôt
