Stuck to my seat
News:
Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.
Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.
I happened to come across this in Amit Varma's Blog. My situation is not too different from that woman...I'm stuck to my seat in CTS and even though it would've benefitted me if I quit, I refused to do so. It took a great deal of convincing before I had realized this. But when the realization had dawned, I was stuck. I couldn't move even though I wanted to. Happenstance.

Strange Love story
Sachin's bro got married a few days back and his was the love story which by all means will never get published as a mills and boons story. So heres the story:
Sachins brother had shifted to his new place along with his friends. His neighbour was a hottie and sachins bro somehow managed to get her aqauintance. This hottie stayed in the same building along with her friends. Now sachins brothers roomies started messaging all these mushy messages from his cellphone. Hottie reads these messages thinking that they are from bro and probably feels happy but is too shy to admit it. So hotties roomies start messaging bro other sentimental messages from her cell and bro reads this and is also happy. The best part is the love birds have no clue that their roomies are doing all the messaging. This goes on for a while and one thing lead to another and they ended up marrying each other.
Wait! It ain't over yet. At the time of the wedding, bro demands dowry. Hottie gives dowry and now they live happily. Sheesh!!!

The Thing about Romance
Romance or romanza was the first complete piece of classical music I had learnt in my decade long musical journey. And I fell in love with it the moment I first heard it, and it continues to evoke strong feelings everytime I play it. The beauty of this piece as with many other pieces of classical music is that if you vary the tempo and volume and even the pitch, you can manage to get a different feel, a different emotional reaction, for the same set of notes.
This is a marvellous rendition of romance. The feeling the first part (in minor) evokes is that of lonliness and sorrow. Probably the sorrow of losing a dear one.
Yet the second part of romance (which is played in E major) creates a picture of sunshine and a rainbow (at least thats what comes to my mind) signifying that the thunderstorms in life are over. Its time to move on and look at life with a fresh perspective, enjoying the colours and sounds of life.
This is an easy piece to play and lots of people do play it. But the way it is played makes all the difference. This is what would separate a true musician from an instrumentalist. Here is a peppy version of the same classic.
Sounds good no doubt. But the feeling conveyed is that of a traveller leaving home for something better. He is sad that he may be leaving home for good, but is hopeful that his decision is something for good.
So much for feelings. My next goal is the Turkish march. Its going to be tough

Life's Ironies
Lifes ironies, how they make you smile
In pain, joy or wonder.
Happiness is all we seek,
Sorrow is what we find.
People all around us
Yet lonliness troubling many
Water covering most of the globe
Yet people die from thirst
People killing themselves for wealth
And using it to keep themselves alive
These scenes are harrowing,
Some of them amusing
Some of them, divinely made
The others, not made by God
In pain, joy or wonder
Life's ironies, how they make you smile.
In pain, joy or wonder.
Happiness is all we seek,
Sorrow is what we find.
People all around us
Yet lonliness troubling many
Water covering most of the globe
Yet people die from thirst
People killing themselves for wealth
And using it to keep themselves alive
These scenes are harrowing,
Some of them amusing
Some of them, divinely made
The others, not made by God
In pain, joy or wonder
Life's ironies, how they make you smile.
