FRIENDS - Guitar Cover

This song was originally sung by The Remembrandts. But the only reason I know this song is because am a diehard fan of the series F.R.I.E.N.D.S  . I have watched every season, every episode and just love all the characters in this sitcom.

The lyrics for this song:


So no one told you life was gonna to be this way. 
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA. 
It's like you're always stuck in second gear, 
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. 


But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. 
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. 
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too. 


You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight. 
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great. 
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, 
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees. 


That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. 
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. 
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

I could have done better, but the lighting , my mood  and the timing was just not so good.And so many chords too.. Yet, am happy that I did something productive this weekend too..

Sunidhi Chauhan Live in Concert !

Singapore rocked to the Bollywood beat Saturday night(Nov 20th).The phenomenal Sunidhi chauhan live in concert!The venue was Esplanade, beautiful Art Performing Centre.

ESPLANADE

The  concert began with the proclamation from the MC that we have legend in the house – “Kuch  Kalaakar ,stage ke liye bante hain, aur kuch stage, Kalaakar ke  liye !”Any music lover would need no introduction to this singing Diva...!

A Glimpse of the stage before the concert

 Sunidhi sang her array of hits like Chaliyya Chaliyya, Beedi.By the time she hit Crazy Kiya Re the audience went crazy.The Desi girl looked ravishing, gorgeous, sensational!! The audience just couldnt get enough of her!Her energetic performance, the ambience, the lights, the crowd literally gave me the goosebumps..Just listening to her sing the fast-paced songs made the audience go bonkers  ...Particularly the slow numbers made me nostalgic .Its not just her voice that created magic, but her dance moves too.... A complete stage performer!

She really worked up the stage and got the crowd going.What caught my eye in this concert was not all were Indians! Many seemed like Malaysians ,also there were a  few Firangis...  shaking  their heads to the rhythm..I wont go  much into the intricasies of the concert. All in all ,the best one till date.Even Sonu Nigam Concert doesnot come up to the mark!Next in my list?? An Opera and French Theatre!

This is the best we could do.Clicking pics are not allowed inside .

Hypocrisy,Thy name is..

The feminist in me is struggling to come out...
I keep thinking about the women in the 70's and today... Lets face the truth..Women were mainly seen as a possessions.. still are...!Women have given up more and gotten less.They are considered as good wives only if they cook, clean and reproduce. like the women in olden days..
.Olden days women used to love cooking...why? The bitter truth...because the husbands  went to work ,women were  house-wives with only cooking skills!They knew nothing else about the outside world as they were confined to their homes,doing domestic chores and milking their cows.. Not much human contact as houses used to be far apart from each other, sometimes miles apart.. With only cooking and cleaning to do and raise kids,thats what comprised their whole world.Women those days loved to have company at home because it was rear...Women even looked forward to all festivals to cook delicacies because thats the time they would see some human activity buzzing around them...

TODAY-Women have easy access to education. They are more liberal in their approach.. As compared with past women in modern times have achieved a lot but in reality they have to still travel a long way. They are no more confined to their kitchens. Today women have reached the highest echelons in all walks of life..They not only take care of their families but also manage their career equally.The world is our Oyster!

                                        YET

 Society is uttertly biased,they claim to be modern but the truth is they want their women to be well dressed, out-going, socialising  and inside the walls of their homes transform into a Cook/maid! And the same men in public claim they want their wives to be independent..Also women still have to seek for their approval before doing the smallest silliest thing..When women get better than their men in any aspect men cant handle it..Women still make the effort of balancing their lives between the two-career and family... Well, I can go on and on about what I see around me.. But I have only one word to say .....Hypocrysy!Thy name is...

I wish I hadnt beaten you when you were naughty,I wish I had given you enough chocolates in the world. I wish I had let you inside the house everytime you howled,I wish I had spent enough time. I wish I hadnt leashed you all the time, I wish I has loved you enough.
I donot want to forget the way you barked, the way your big brown eyes shined. I dont want to forget how you wagged your fluffy tail, or the way you dreamt of chasing Tommy in your sleep.I want to remember forever your moist nose and the way you smelled like a baby.I dont want to forget the babytalk we used to have, Chucha, chachi,bucha, shoo...
They say time heals. I fear time also makes you forget.. And I dont want to..

An Obituary.

Snowy Rao

After a persisting illness and of old age, on Sunday, November 7, 2010, at the age of 15 years Snowy passed away .

Snowy will be lovingly remembered by her family. Snowy will also be fondly remembered by all the neightbours. She was so full of life.She was loving , kind and loyal.Shes the one stood by us through all our up;s and downs.

Not a single day will go by that I wont remember you. I already feel a void in my life.I only wish I could say a proper goodbye..You will always live in my heart..Words fail me beyond this. I love you.

A Dog's Tale

Snowy Rao.. Thats her name..Came into our lives when she was barely a month old, a little ball of fur... Exactly 15 years ago during Diwali time my bro got her home .I remember during Diwali ,because of all the loud fire-crackers and how scared she was as a puppy...

Since then Snowy has brought joy to our lives.Mom was sceptical in the beginning about raising a dog...Although now they are unseparable.. Snowy being a vegetarian is probably why she is 15 and still going strong....!She loves tomatoes,cucumber and bananas.. Thats all has kept her goin..Weird but true..She loves ice-cream, chocolates .During her puppy days just the scent of chocolate, tomato used to make her run around like crazy!

We've had our laughs at her cost...There were times she got electrocuted(twice actually) ,attacked by other dogs, gotten lost couple of times, fell down from the first storey(just a few days ago!) and not even a scratch!Snowy Rao the invincible??? And they say Cats have 9 lives...? Old wives tales indeed...!

Absolutely unselfish, giving unconditional love ,very child-like-thats my precious Snowy .This is a quote from the heart warming movie Marley and me,  "A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his."
