Pink Floyd - Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I dont know why i didnt like PF !!! Such gr8 lyrics, such gr8 music ! simply heavenly !

An encouter with a Scorpio.

Dinner at Mainland china ! that too ... a treat !!! + getting to meet old best-friends !!!! All these thoughts made me push the accelerator on the bike. It was a pleasant evening. Me clad with my favourite Wills-cargos, 2 days old - brand new Seabiscuit 70.95$ jacket, halki-baarish, 8:30 pm time, cool breeze, and twinkling head n tail lights of vehicles on road, all this visible through my helmet. Since long I ve been wanting to clean or rather get a new plastic for my helmet but as always, laziness prevented me. This made my already less visibility, lesser.

Have you seen the Black Scorpio ? I mean the newly launched Mahindra-Scorpio. It is such a beauty ! really cool looks ! Well, I dont want to get into the details of the cool scorpio neither do I want to discuss about my dreams of owning it one day. All I want to say is that I saw it on the road. Shining body, dimly lit red lights, this beauty was some 20 meters away.

The dimly lit red light turned bright blood red. The Scorpio had stopped where it was. I was on 30. Oh ya ... 1 more thing, I forgot to tell you, I have always wanted to repair these fronk brakes on my bike, but u see ... laziness. :( . So I did all that I could. Put one of my legs on the road, put all the force that I could on the brakes. Now, for the intelligent heads out there who would be thinking why i didnt overtake the scorpio from either of the sides, I couldnt, there was hardly any time to think of all that once I had started applying the brakes + i was damn sure that the bike would stop inches away from the cool-car ! But, the road being oil-spilled / my bike tyres being quite worn out, I dont know, the bike kept its speed at 30 !!!

Then 60 deg to the left 60 deg to the right, 60 deg to the left, 30 degree to the left and baaam - on the road flat still not stopping. I stopped to see that the Scorpio was already on its way - away. Got up. The first thing I could sense was that the fav cargoes will find their way to my fav-not used collection- it was so torn. The jacket which was just 2 days new looked as if it was 20 years old. So much so for saving my dream car which wasnt mine !!!

Got up, took my bike n back to home ! Treat - well ... some other day :)
