akshara;
the imperishable, unchangeable and indestructible
the very word,letter, syllable
the pranava OM
the dettatreya trinity of brahma vishnu and shiva


so here's my thoughts amplified
this colloquy that i have with myself now here
the search for the things that remain constant in this life of changes, the things that are imperishable
yet cherishing the most simple things in life that may seem so unimportant and small but add beauty and colour,
to seek out the unfathomable, powers beyond our wildest dreams
the sanatana dharma to be upheld,
and the karma that we cannot run or hide from for it is the very equation we need to balance out
and hence the very reason of our existence
with a mic up my soul let the story unfold,
the past be forgotten and a new tale told.

यत्र यत्र रघुनाथ कीर्तनम् तत्र तत्र क्रित मस्तक अन्जलिं बष्पावरी परीपूर्ण लोचनम् मारुतिं नमश्च राक्षस अंतकम्।

performed for don's friend's band, DANNY REJOICE it was really a pleasure working with the 8 piece band
what grabbed me was the fact that they were willing to do anything for music
and they had the backing of family and friends
a rare thing in the indian community
they spent 2k just on the show itself and the shocking truth
it was just a 2 hr segment of a tamil camp in newtown sec
just to show the kids what music really is about
kudos to prathap and dinesh
i sang what i would call "neruppu songs"
hey aatha, aasai nooru vagai,kodampakkam area.
lol really not me but i actually had a gd time
and i learnt a lesson in entertainment.
oh and the last picture was when i danced with one of the auntys on the dance floor
cos i was approached by the students to dance but i din want to.
that reminds me. the warmth of the aunties hai hai.
truly music and love.

question:
are you living the LIFE?
or
are you living the LIE?
the difference lies in a single alphabet
yet the difference holds great magnitude

i don't want to live a lie
so i'm gona sit down and analyse
gather some will from god knows where
and fix this shit.

your repititions of how nothing will last forever
and so would this
has finally etched itself into my mind.

thiru's MIA for the moment
he's gone in search of his dreams.

i'm supposed to be studying but at the moment there's so much going through my head.
I sincerely thank god for helping me through my FIT paper and the friends who cared and wished.theres actually a HELL alot of things that have happened in the past few months that i have not updated about. i will after my exams k.

im losing my fitness touch and i dont like that. on the other hand i freaking despise running. how like that? that plus my freaking low metabolism rate. and exam stress makes you eat like no tomorrow i swear.

over time i have met so many musicians. many have inspired me and many have disgusted with equal magnitude. i honestly cant imagine a life without music and i dont mean this in your typical "oh musics life, i miss music, music is soul" bull crap. over time i've learnt how music basically sums up in two words. Discipline and passion. If god gave you the gift of being musically inclined and you're not doing anything about it, honestly shame on you.
Im running around chasing my music dreams. There was this time in my life when i was so crazy about it i used to blabber "drums,guitar,djembe.sing sing" when i was sleeping.
But god loves to test i guess. I want to state here for all my friends. Music and friendship are 2 different things. Yes they might overlap but they are individual entities. Friendship can make your music lazy and from experience i say this. My whole band became lazy and its depressed me so much. It actually shattered my world. Yet i know my ethics. I still hold on to these friends in hope one day things will work out.
I have to stop worrying about others and concentrate on myself for now.
DJEMBE AND HINDUSTANI VOCALS.
for once in my life i took the chance of being superficial. why in the world do we things that will hurt us unknowingly? i still dont get it. How can someone be so emotionally shallow. You're just another lesson learnt girl.

the world arounds quite shattered and everythings a mess.
i'm trying to pick up the pieces and put them back together.
Before you can love someone else
You need to learn to love yourself
and for that you need to accept yourself for who you are.
At the moment im learning and learning.
i admire the phoenix, trialed by fire only to be reborn.

he stands tall, his guru watching over him
and when i took this picture i could only ask
that he too would watch over me.
and now i pray...
that I will complete my diploma properly
and that I will enter NTU-NIE
to become the teacher i've always wanted to be
that I will be strong when it comes to her
i've come to realise how self obsessed she is
looks count for shit my dear
so i pray you do have a good side to you
or else this ends here.
that I find a job now to support myself
and to pay for my education
that i stay focused
i cannot afford to to be distracted
i've only got one shot at this
and finally i thank you for a friend like sharania

Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road
Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don’t ever let go oh no

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh no they can’t'

is it wrong to be born with good looks
but not be equipped with the ability to flirt?
is it wrong to refuse a pack of cigs and a beer
and drink coke and eat a pack of kinder bueno when you're stressed?
is it wrong to be able to do almost everything
and yet be humble about it?
is it wrong to be better than others
but yet treat them with respect?
is it wrong to have a strong conscience
and feel sensitive towards every damn thing?
is it wrong to be born indian
and to have to put up with the narrow-minded chinese?
is it wrong to love without expecting anything in return
but to get stabbed back in return?
is it wrong to lead
but end up having a bunch of lazy retards to follow you?
is it wrong to have a conversation with your mom about her life
and end up feeling lonelier than ever?
is it wrong to like a girl
just for her looks?
is it wrong being me?
you tell me...
