Person above me is inching closer to a nice little whuppin!
Burt! What a song! Here is another-
The world outside your house is cold and windy
The summer breeze becomes a winter storm
And then you smile at me
And almost instantly
The weather turns warm
Slowly, the green grass starts to grow
Softly, the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow
When I'm alone the streets are dark and cloudy
I walk around not knowing day from night
And then you touch my hand
That's all that happens
And the whole world turns bright
Slowly, the green grass starts to grow
Softly, the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow
To me you're everything that's true
My world begins and ends with…only you, forever
Slowly, the green grass starts to grow
Softly, the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow
Slowly, the green grass starts to grow
Softly, the sunshine of your smile
Melts the snow
Slowly, the green grass starts to grow
Softly, the sunshine of your smile…
Lmao! Sorry Rani, it was funny. Run Boo Run!
Rock and roll soniye…Lmao! Oye! I am neither as old nor as interested in the chase as Amitabh in KANK…but boy, you nailed the 'sexy' part. I humbly accept. Why bother to argue? When have you loonies ever let me win even a single argument? Why do I even come here?
Lodging
Coffee!
(Antennae up) Person above me is the 'BeS RaNi' I've ever known.
Make someone laugh (I can laugh all by myself and at myself).
Which of these 'bad' habits would you rather have: Bite your nails or pick your nose?
If 'Ginger' keeps wearing what she wore this morning under her Starbucks apron, I would change just about everything, if she would but hint…Lmao! Now, seriously seriously, I would change anything but that which has to do with my faith in God and my commitment to what I believe is His purpose for my life. There are things that one could change and 'find' a better life, and then there are things that one would change only to lose 'life' eternally.
Same question please.
I just realised the effect of “Mahi Ve” from Kal Ho Na Ho has on me. I was doing some work that needs submission very soon and had my itunes playing random songs, there is only one light on my table and the rest of the room is dim except the daylight from the window which is slowly fading. My laptop in the left of my desk, a pile of papers next to it, a blue booklet in front of the laptop, my paper pad next to it nearing the right and a cup of tea opposite me next to a very full pen holder. And I am writing away, focused with my eye brows tensed. Work needs finishing. And the player, is very very low in volume… playing away songs….Rangeela, Hum Tum…. Dil Se…… Craig David (lol!)….. And then this song plays. Maahi Ve, Thats the way, Mahi Ve…..
And my hand stops writing, my eyes slowly move up towards the speakers. Eventhough the volume is very low, a hum or a murmur. I could hear everything. The song is still playing (a second time around now) And I just realised how my memory has visualised allllll the mad people (I adore!) in this forum in my head dancing away to this song. I can see it. Every single member. Right from *Queen* who bullied me when I first came (still have no idea who she is! But I remember her ragging the hell out of me! lol) to Kavita – the newest member that I've known. All of you. I could see. Oreoji looks pretty cute jigging a bit of bollywood you know Rani, Tabz, Ninja….. Scarzy, Nosyira…… Boo, Nessa, Me…..Senorji, Baqz, Marine…… Rani running around, smiling away and giggling with Ninja…. Senorji rocking the song, looking younger and handsome as always, somehow with a red shirt and black bow-tie! LOL…. Baqz being chased by Marine all around……. Nosyira smiling away and clapping gracefully and Scarzy hitting the dancefloor with all the girlies…… Boo spinning me around until I go completely dizzy…. And me chasing Oreoji pulling Tabz, Rani, Boo, Scrazy, Nessa, Kavita and Marine with me….. Haha… I am actually chuckling…..
How I actually see this…. in my head. No, I'm not hallucinating people…. Lol. I just, feel overwhelmed. Somehow…
I am going to miss you all so much. If this song ever plays in the coming festivities…. you all, all of you – will be in my memory throughout this entire song….
Mahi Ve
Khushi, I too, like Boo, will save this for years to come. Thank you. Now, for the rest of y'all, read and remember…'looking younger and handsome as always…' I swear she's got it quite right!
No further comments please. Just enjoy the truth in its red-shirted black bow-tied handsomest youngest best. Thank you.
The Shadow! Come near my neighborhood woman, and the slingshot would be the least of your worries…now, I do not know your mother, but could it be that she read Treasure Island one too many times and fancied an eye patch? Oh, Ginger says 'Hello.' Well, not really to you, but she was 'extra' friendly today. Lmao! Double 'Oh,' just in case you would be around the lake next weekend, perhaps you would be able to catch a glimpse of other things that 'lurk' in other places. Do not bring children. Its an R-18 sort of environment.
I had the wonderful task of baby-sitting three most adorable children one could hope to find. The sum total of their three lives is less than a quarter of mine, but, I came away blessed. I went home to look for this song, which, I haven't listened to in a very long time.
You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would
cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would
cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
No, Ginger did not 'build' it for me. I builded it all by myself. Now, about the neighborhood- as long as it has me in it, it would be just fine.
Houdini my hind-side! I cannot seem to escape work. Just got back home to find the two stray cats that my friend rescued putting on the 'alto-soprano' meow-show for my benefit. They look really freaky when they get their hair to stand up with their tails right up.
I had some 'French Vanilla' coffee a while ago, and it has done wonders to my soul. I feel as languid and mellow as summer evenings, as full as a ripe plum. If not for these damn mosquitos that keep sucking my exquisitely caffeinated blood, this would have been a 'paradise' moment.
How are you, Firestarter? Lmao! I know what you were trying to get Rani to do to me. I remember that. Girl was born with a tomahawk in her hand and trouble on her mind. Stop giving her ideas.
Lmao! I bet you would.
Woman's too short, too dang deaf, can't kick if her life depended on it, laughs like that dude I used to buy spiced garbanzos from when I was in middle-school…with the one-inch gap between his front teeth.
Tayba is right. Get yourself a microphone that has no treble, and get your ears cleaned…I bet you have enough wax in them to light up a octagenarian's birthday cake. Lol! Nessa, you are not out of the woods yet, woman, you goaded the girl to pounce on me.
'I would smack you upside your head when you're drinking hot coffee and make you spill it all over your precious lower self!'
I've actually spilt coffee on myself more than once, though, never on my 'precious lower self.' As much as I do not see any opportunity for me to erm deploy the Admiral, I would rather that he be erm raw than blanched.
'Before this stinky buddha, no one eber called me short.'
First things first. I do stink. Had to rush from playing tennis to the office to get some things sorted, and by the time I finally got to leave the place, it was smelling like salted squid.
'He prolly won't be home, that waitress-chasing loser.'
That is correct! I never bring them home. My mother would say to us when we were young: 'The girl you bring home is the girl you are going to marry.' So, I've developed this 'See but do not touch' and 'Flirt but do not fiddle' window-shopping philosophy that has thus far served me well. Oh, by the way, I do not 'chase' waitresses…just baristas. It's the coffee in their hands…I swear!
'The budda is so shameless he'll go skinny dipping with some waitress!
Nope. Skinny dipping is either a private affair or selective affair with people who share similar appendages…think erm many 'gongs' but no chimes…just splashes.
'Lmao skinny dipping with the waitress. I bet she's from Starbucks, where else do they know him so well! lmao! Yep, it's the red-haired one from Starbucks!'
Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Figaro, San Francisco, Seattles Best, Cibo…I'm popular wherever coffee is brewed within a few miles of where I live. Just so you know, its not the 'red haired' one, its the 'auburn' haired one. Have no interest in carrot tops.
PS: Nessa, quit getting the girl all riled up. Imma smack you. No pouncing. I just went skinny dipping. God knows where your pounce may leave you erm hanging. Lmao!
Cannot remember the last time I called someone overseas that early in the morning to 'almost' hear past giggles, yelling, screaming, laughing, and of course we cannot forget the coughing now can we? Of all the conversations I have had that day, it was the conversation I almost had with the both of you that meant more.
Now, where in the world is Ninjitsu?
Lmao! Well, Rani has no choice but to hit me 'low' because what the Almighty has bestowed upon her life abundantly in beauty and charm, He has withheld in erm 'inches' so… Lord, I have the giggles. As for you, gun-giggle-girl, you better watch it when you go for my throat, you are gonna get it right on the kisser and it ain't gonna be pretty.
'…I don't think I sound like an air-raid siren…'
You are right and you are wrong. Lmao! Occasionally you do sound like an air-raid siren, but often you do sound like a sub-machine gun. You may disagree all you want, but, I heard you giggle. I never forget. Rani on the other hand, has one steam-powered shrill whistle of a laugh like one that comes off a pressure cooker just before your biryani is done…
Hello ladies! Just in case you feel like throwing a little 'mutilation party' you know where I live. Come get me. Lmao! Ninjitsu, save me some space in your basement. I coming to hide. Tayba, guard the door.
