2008, A hard recall!!!

Hi all... First up, Wish u all a great new year...
Well, I've been trying for about a month to put my head down and draw out a clear compendium of the events that took place in my life in 2008... I've hardly managed to do that...for theres too much to push in such a small space, or in any space for that matter.

Highlights of 2008
1. Horrendous new year in Bangalore, with hardly a penny to spend.
2. Weeks and weeks of solitude.
3. Weekly chennai trip, and a memorable 2 day recuperation camp at the chennai house.
4. A one month stay with Ravi,Ramp and Sriram in Domlur.
5. Transfer to chennai.
6. Wayanad Trip(the trip of my life).
7. Numerous idle months in chennai and the subsequent frustrations.
8. New Ipod.
9. Change of job.

Well, theres one more event thats not there in the list. The event that left us all shattered from head to feet, the loss of my friend Ravi

A lot has happened in 2008, and it leaves me a lump in my throat every time I think of those days.I do not want to forget them. I don't' wish to relive them either.

That pretty much sums up my recall of 2008. Thats not all that I have summed up here in this space, but I just want to leave it there.

Have a wonderful year ahead...

The Lost Songs

It was one of those days.My friend had hit me hard,hard enuf that I sank deep into the seat of my rickety office bus to get cover from others.I was afraid that I would cry.My heart was heavy and I desperately wanted to escape my emotions into something.,just like how the scientists deal with the nuclear waste.

Many say,when ur heart is full, just pour it on to someone else.I just don beleive in that.So I just reached out for my hand kerchief in my pant pocket,only to find the earphones of my transcend MP3 player entangled in my fingers.This gave me a viable substitute for option1. Music!!!

Many also say,when ur heart is full,just listen to some good music.This time I didnt wanna argue.I was excited!!!So, I took the little device out and within a few seconds managed to find my favorite illayaraja track.Soon I was deeply engrossed in the music,so much so that I became totally oblivious of the bitter experience.

Thats it!!! I thought,parking my transcend in the bag,as I slowly faded away to sleep in the chill of the evening air.

It was a week later, I was in my room,wondering ,how to push the afternoon through, as i do most of the times .Having lost all my obvious options, I once again reached out for my Mp3 player.This time my player was little witty than it usually was,as in, it understood the mood I was in.So, there it was, my favorite illayaraja track staring right at my face.I had no hesitation to play it rite away.Then the amazing thing happened...

The bitter memories which I had sunk into the song, days before, flashed in front of my eyes,just like the manner in which winamp displays the lyrics in its lyrics window.I was astonished.Now, the worst part.I can never listen to that song anymore in my lifetime.The impact was so very severe.I have lost a song!!! I have my favorite track lying all around my garden,but I cant play it.How bad is that???

Here I was now,desperate to get rid of those bitter memories out of my mind.But i don wanna lose another illayaraja song.Any suggestions???
