Waiting For That Moment..

Most of our life is a series of images.
They pass us by like towns on the highway.
But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens.
And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image.
We know that this moment,
every part of it,
will live on forever.

It's Just Tears And Rain

Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

- James Blunt, Tears and Rain

Look Who's Alone Now..

You know, when I'm with you guys, I'll actually be able to sing this...

I lie down here, far away from my hopes and my dreams. I lie down because I do not have the energy to stand. Life has drained me, and I will never laugh again.

I will never laugh the way I did that day. It was a beautiful summer - the sun was shining and I had never felt warmer.

Look who's alone now, it's not me, it's not me...

And now that summer, that day, that laughter will forever be etched in my memory. And there it will remain till the end of my days.

There was hope - that soon I'd laugh as I did that day. But those hopes were washed away with the rains (literally!)

I lie down, listening to James Blunt, a voice that once brought me immeasurable joy.

Look who's alone now, it's not me, it's not me..

But wait... it is me.

Bridging The Gap: From Good To Great

Studying so intensely for my Organisational Behaviour test, got the Analytical wheels in my head turning. So much so that watching Peyton Sawyer on television just got me thinking.

As my OB teacher would say, she is a classic Type A personality. With her, there is urgency - an urgency to do something with time, with life. And this is what makes Peyton Sawyer such an astounding character. So alive is her passion that her eyes light up each time she speaks of art or music or anything that constitutes her world.

With Peyton, there is this almost unquenchable thirst to make a difference. It is an urge to bridge the gap between good and great And I find myself thirsty for the same.

You know, my life is pretty good, it is. I was just searching for something to make it great.

I embarked upon this journey a long time ago. At times, I walk a lone path. Yet, it is the fire within that keeps me warm, spurring me on. And I go on...
