I'm a Sleepwalker

I saw a picture of you
Hanging in an empty hallway
I heard a voice that I knew
And I couldn't walk away
It took me back to the end
Of everything
I tasted all
I tasted all the tears
again

Outside the rain's fallin' down
There's not a drop that hits me
Scream at the sky but no sound
Is leavin' my lips
It's like I can't even feel
After the way you touched me
I'm not asleep but I'm not awake
After the way you loved me

I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I said I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker

Let me out of this dream

Everywhere that I go
I see another memory



And all the places we used to know
They're always there to haunt me
I walk around and I feel so lost and lonely
You're everything that I want
But you don't want me

I can't turn this around
I keep running into walls that I can't break down
I said I just wander around
With my eyes wide shut because of you
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker
I'm a sleepwalker walker walker

Let me out of this dream, dream
Let me out of this dream

No Chagrin

I take heed to feed the need of my shiny thing
It welcome me with open arms, I run to it with speed
Burning fire, awakens my desire for that little line that I require
This urge of mine I can�t dismiss, this demon of mine I can�t resist
Taking it against my skin, a thin line leaves no chagrin
I want to hate him, instead I create lines, I want to move on but I wait inside
I need it to be more, go back to before; impossible; ill deal as my heart hits the floor
I tried to push this back inside but my shiny thing and I collide
My words to him, they go unheard, but his are stirred inside my brain
Take this to my skin, this unknown mistake, this something I can�t shake
Why can�t I fight this urge? Why do I cling so tight?
Why must I do this every night?
Why can�t I look at myself in disgust?
Why can�t I be inside his head, instead mine is attached by a single thread
So once again I slide this demon against my skin knowing inside I can never win

The Dusty Box

The wires of my brain are arranged so that I�m insane
I feel you in my veins and when it rains the ache in my heart remains
I can�t explain why I cling to this, but my strength I much maintain
But I guess I can�t complain, I allowed my heart to take hold of this pain

Slipping off my fingertips my lips forget your lips
I hear the dripping of the rain as my heart beat skips
I equipped my heart with strips of wire to get you to loosen your grip
With bloody hands you rip them off and jump back on your ship

And now I�m free of thee and I smile up with glee
Now a memory to me I don�t wonder what could be
And now I see the answer to my pleas was getting you too flee
I used to disagree with your decree that we would never be

With open eyes I can sever my ties and whisper my last goodbyes to you
I remember all your lies and all the times you ignored my cries
I saw that disguise those fake red eyes you plastered on face
You try to deny that plan that you devised

And now you can�t retrace, erase the events that took place
I�ve misplaced my feelings of our last embrace, shoved them to that empty space
Inside my mind they are encased, never to see the light of this place
Alone they sit not just in case; I never wish to see your face

Collecting dust, surely this is a must
Keep them locked away so forever there they stay�

A Host of Tall Tales

Understand? Is that too much to ask?

Take my hand, discard the mask

Unwilling to try, unable to see

Living with closed eyes, blind to me

Sinking low my heart is broken

Never know the words unspoken

I am a ghost that goes unseen

My host is misery, my dreams what do they mean?

Wondering why this all has to be

Accepting the lie, and the not wanting of me

Unable to let go, something makes me wait

I don’t want to know if it’s too late

Torn at the seams, my heart builds a fence

Having these dreams that don’t make sense

Lingering there you won’t go away

I want you to care but you won’t stay

Inside my dreams to you I matter

I tried to make it true but now I’m shattered

I always fail to make you see

My dreams are only tall tales and we will never be…

Stitched Up Failures

With my seams stitched up tight
Your broken schemes and shattered spite
I throw away your face and banish you from my mind
I won’t show you how I truly feel inside
I won’t let you see, no not this time
What you do to me and those created lines
I’ve heard your lies and every excuse
You won’t open your eyes you just refuse
I fail with you and now I’m done
Breathe in exhale, now it’s you I shun
You can’t see this from my point of view
Look at me I’m through with you…

Staring at the sea


I'm staring at the sea,
A thousand memories all flood me,
I'm sinking down My hands are tied,
I'm sinking and serene,
I'll just rest here for a while,
Until the ocean pulls me in

All the memories fade away�
As the waves crash against me,
They break me,
I'm lost to the sea,
Nothing was ever real,
Now I'm free.

I can still make out your distorted face,
As I return to where I belong,
The requiem you sing is a sad song,
The tears you cry are the sea I'm drowning in,
They wash away a life time of sin

How to read an Opus

Strategies to get through a book on Sachin Tendulkar that weighs 40 kg

If you haven't seen an Opus before, it's over 800 pages long, with each page half a meter square. It weighs more than 30 kg. It's certainly no ordinary book!
That is Sachin Tendulkar on Opus, a series of lavish books on some of the world's famous individuals and enterprises. Among others, there are ready or planned Opus editions on Michael Jackson and Wimbledon, Vivienne Westwood and Dubai's Burj Khalif. There is one on Ferrari, and some believe it is heavier than Ferrari's F1 car. But Tendulkar is one of only two individual sportsmen to have an Opus dedicated to them, the other being Diego Maradona.
'Greatness Immortalized Greatly' is the somewhat clunky slogan of the Opus Media Group, the company that makes the books. Kraken Opus, the publishing devision, says their purpose is to create "the most epic stunning and iconic publications ever seen in the world of sport and entertainment". They do make some (relatively) affordable copies. But the real talking points are their outsized, outpriced special editions.

Yes, Opus is no ordinary book. As per the official website, its weight is moe like 40 kg, not just 'over 30'. Reading develops intellectual brawn, it is said. Reading Opus will also develop the muscles of your arm. Cardio one day, Opus the next. That could soon be fitness routine of the health conscious.

You have played racquet's sport doubles. Opus could see the advent of doubles reading. Two readers on either side. The owner of the copy could even sell tickets and have two-hours shows of the book. 

Excuse me. The phone's ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hello. This is David Howman from WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency). Please convey to all prospective buyers of Opus in India that they will have to sign our Whereabouts Clause. We don't want readers to use steroids so as to be able to carry copies of Opus."

There. Another Opus effect.
It doesn't stop there. With each Tendulkar Special Edition costing $75,000, robbers now have a new target. "Bhai (Brother), forget jewellery. Books are the new thing."

The phone is ringing again, "Yes?"
""Hulo! This is Dev Anand!"
"Yes sir. How are you sir? I have have watched Jewel Thief 17 times."
"Then I have some good news. I'm thinking of a sequel to Jewel Thief. I even have a title. Book Thief."

All That's Left Is Suicide

He's so empty for all to see,
there's a thousand people he tries to be,
his eye's are glazed like broken mirrors reflecting his pain,
there are so many people that wish him well,
But self destruction only wallows in his personal hell,

All that's left is suicide,
He ran out of places to hide,
he's to fucked up to care,
a razor across his wrists no one would notice he's not there,
he has nothing left to prove,
and nothing, nothing left to lose,

He tears away at his skin,
picking the scabs where his wounds have been,
he tries to feel for something more,
remembering the broken promises,
that left his insides cold and sore,
that left his insides cold and sore.

To Find A Way Through

To Find A Way Through


I've Been Lost Here For for to many years,
Consumed by memories, bloodshed and tears,
I've lost sight of who i am,
Caught in a life i wish i never had,
I was born with a violence in my heart,
Now i have a second chance,
To walk away and start again,
Another country, Another life,
Will i make the same mistakes twice?
Or take a different path


Take my hand and lead the way,
I'm scared I'll lose the path again,
and get lost along the way,
Spend my days trapped in a haze,
waste my life with nothing to show for it,
Spend it all wallowing in the shit,
Of everything I've ever loved and lost,


I fought my way back to the beaten track,
From the darkest places of my mind,
I walk this path to a better life,
And leave the ghosts of my past behind

If it's not too Late

I know that its early and its to hard to think
And the broken empty bottles are a reminder in the sink
But I thought that I should tell you
if it's not too late to say
I can put back all the pieces they just might not fit the same.

I know it's been years now and I don't look the same
And the hopes and dreams you had for me all went down the drain.

Tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time..

Tricky Tricky

You make me smile, make me blush
You’re miles away and still give me this rush

Sometimes those butterflies invade
They arose so quickly then so slowly they fade away

No brain games just tell me outright
Do you feel the same? Would you hold me at night?

This I’d wish that you would care; I want you to wish
That you could be there…

I want to be yours, and you be mine
Could that come true? Or have I crossed the line?

Are these lies? Do you really want me or not?
Because this scarred up heart is all that I got

But yes you make me smile, yes you make me blush
Will it be my mistake for letting you give me this rush?

India Heritage (Qutab Minar)

The Qutab Minar made of red sandstone rising to the height of 72.5 mts is an architectural marvel of the 13th century. Also a must is the visit to Ashoka Pillar dating back to the 5th century. Though made of iron it has with stood the weathers of time. A very interesting belief is assigned to this pillar. Stand with your back to the pillar, and if you can hold your hands around it, then make a wish and it will surely come true.

Escape of the Storm

You yelled
Your favorite things,
Your hatred stings,
You break my wings
This sadness I can’t shake,
Can’t stop the quake, escape to my mistakes
Ill scrape off your gift of scars,
Forget their tiny shapes,
Drape then over with that disguise
Try to make them see the lies that fall
Behind your eyes they crawl
Inside my head; they install a wall
Around my heart so I won’t fall apart,
If I was smart I’d know I can’t hit restart…
This I cannot show,
This must not grow…this warm fear
I must let go. I was thrust into this storm,
Allowed this fear to form, and I’m fighting
Off the swarm I fight back the tear,
Attempt to see clear, and realize
I’m behind the wheel and don’t know how to steer…
My dreams don’t make sense
Of me and you stitched up at the seams
Invisible scars and dying schemes
They can’t come true
It’s never me and you
And I’m not sure what to do.......

High Court

High Courts of India are established under Part 6, Chapter 5, Article 214 of the Indian Constitution. The High Courts are the principal civil courts of original jurisdiction in the state, and can try all offences including those punishable with death. Judges in a High Court are appointed by the President of India in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the Governor of the state. High Courts are headed by a Chief Justice. The number of Judges in a court is decided by dividing the average institution of main cases during the last five years by the national average, or the average rate of disposal of main cases per judge per year in that High Court, whichever is higher. The Calcutta High Court is the oldest High Court in the country, established on 1862-07-02.

National Flag

The Indian National flag is a horizontal tricolour of deep saffron (kesari) at the top, while in the dark green at the the bottom in equal proportion.
The ratio of width of the flag to its length is two to three. In the center of the white band is a navy blue wheel which represents the chakra. Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes.
the design of the national flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 22 July 1947. Its use and display are regulated by the Indian Flag Code.

Apple

The reason this term is in the terminology is because way too many people confuse "Apple" with "Macintosh". Apple is the company that makes Macintosh computers -- not the other way around. Apple's product line includes Power Macs, PowerBooks, iMacs, iBooks, and the popular hard drive-based MP3 player, the iPod. Apple also develops a large number of software programs, such as iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iPod, and iDVD. Notice a pattern here?

Though most of Apple's product name now start with the letter "i", the company has a history of creative innovation. Though Apple has less then ten per cent of the market share in the computer business, the company still manages to lead the industry in new directions.

Corruption Amongst Women

"Corruption amongst women in public life is high and increasing. They also get caught because they make stupid mistakes." 
Who says there is no corruption in the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB)? At the end of the day, the ACB is like any other government department whose officers get a meager pay packet.


But few officers want to be posted here because it is not a 'revenue earning' department. From the moment they join, many senior officers get busy trying to get another posting. Getting manpower is the biggest impediment in the smooth functioning of this department.


Many officers who head this department turn a blind eye to the corrupt activities of senior officers or ministers. After all, if they want to be posted out, they are likely to need their help.


Every policeman knows who is corrupt in his department. So, catching the corrupt should have been easy. In reality, it is difficult to take on people from within the department. They hardly do sting operations, and instead always wait for a complaint.


The jurisdiction of ACB is vast. They receive many complaints, and people expect quick results. But that is just not possible with such few personnel.


Corruption amongst women in public life is high and increasing. They also get caught because they make stupid mistakes. Some time ago, ACB arrested a woman who was heading the nursing staff in Maharashtra. She would ask people to deposit the money in her office itself. These were not small sums, but huge amounts. Some are smart. They accept gifts in kind-saris, jewelery, household articles, etcetera-during  festivals or auspicious days. Corrupt women are flashier than men. They have to show off their wealth. Men hide their ill-gotten wealth well. They buy benami (anonymous) properties in the names of women in their household, but a woman will never do that. she does not trust a family member to return her wealth,

Cheat Numbers

ADULTERY The Daily Beast has culled statistics from various research papers to predict wether you will cheat on your spouse. It pretty much damns the urban couple unless they enjoy spending time with the partner's relatives, which, er, is askinf for a little too much. Men are straightaway at risk, with a 7 per cent greater chance of cheating. Large city residents have a 39 per cent greater risk, people earning more double their chances and then there's this: 'If your husband spends 10 per cent chance you'll cheat on him.' There are the usual suspects-the lonely ones, those who daily think of sex, those watching internet porn. And some unusual suspects: if your identical twin is a cheat, then 200 per cent you will follow suit. Religious people are less likely to cheat, so even if you are an atheist, it might be an idea to go to the temple regularly-and together.

Ageing the Olm Way


New research, published in the Royal Society Journal Biology Letters, suggests that the Olm-a blind amphibious salamander-seems to defy all current theories of ageing. The most extraordinary thing about this creature is its incredible longevity-it can live for up to 100 years. Previous studies have suggested that longer lifespan in animals tends to be associated with a large body size, and slow metabolic rate. Olms are small (around 20-30 cm), and have an ordinary metabolic rate for amphibians. This means that the cause of their longevity is a mystery. If further research can uncover the secret, we might also unlock the secret of eternal youth.
