Let Go

Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go,let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

TV last night....

The Story of India was a TV series aired on the BBC in August and September 2007. It was shown as part of the BBC series "India & Pakistan 07" marking the 60 years independence of India and Pakistan.

Narrated by historian Michael Wood, the series shows the 10,000-year history of India in six episodes.
It was repeated on BBC 4 and I caught the last episode last night. It was probably one the best programmes in the India & Pakistan season and certainly one that can be watched more than once.

1. The pen freak
* spent most of my uni days in the university stationery shop buying pens
* different colours always catch my attention
* love going into
paperchase and always have to leave with something :))
* not sure what's going to happen to my pens, as I seem to use my laptop/computer for writing
* maybe it's time to find them a new home, but can I be without them??

2. Indya.....
Some of you may have gathered, that I'm slightly obessed with all things to do with India or Indian. I try to keep updated with most things that are happening there through the internet, family and friends. My favourite websites are ndtv.com , ibn-cnn.com and times of India.

My dream would be to live in India. When I was 10 years old, my family and I lived in India for a year and we nearly stayed permenantly, but my parents had a change of heart and came back. A part of me wishes that we stayed. Let's see what the future holds.

The other night, a group of us went out for dinner and I mentioned about the fall in share prices for Reliance and a good friend mine Priya burst out laughing and said that she too had read the same thing and we both need help.

3. My pod and I
* always with me - home and abroad

* electic collection of music, just like its owner
* the baby pink cover wasn't my choice, totally a friend's choice

* I once lost all my songs....but I had saved them so crisis averted....phew
* nearly miss my tube station as i'm so engrossed in the music ;))

4. The world is my oyster
* been lucky to travel to some parts of the world
* 2008 and onwards will be all about seeing the world, discovering new cultures, trying new food - yummy
* my trusty little globe guides me in deciding my trips
5. ...beverage time

* we all should make time for a beverage break
* I enjoy taking break to energise myself
* also, I seem to want to capture the moment - hence the collage!!

6. sewing and stitching can be therapeutic..
* as child I use to find comfort in cross stitching as a form of relaxation
* once I had to use four different shades of maroon for a flower I was stitching !!!!!
* my Dad suggested that I should take up knitting, so that I could knit jumpers and scarves for my future family; but the consumerist in me said " daddy, I can go to Marks and Spencer and buy them a jumper!!!!
* my little box of multicoloured threads always come in handy...
7. notebooks, post-it notes...anything to help me make lists
* I love making lists, it helps me to sort my life out
*lists equals plans
*plans equals taking action
*particularly love ticking things off my list - gives me a sense of accomplishment...hehe
I now tag Jag of Route79, Navin of picturejockey, Mpg of Mango power girl, Prashant of Chai Ki Dhukan , Kapil of Kapil’s Korner, Ieva Dan and Vineeta of artnlight .... :)
