THE SECRET LOVE OF THE PRINCE AND THE MERMAID


HER PRINCE WONDERS....


We two talked of love, the world and much more
Together we sat on the sands salty ocean seashore
I felt an urge drive me, to ask her for her name
Yet my words were ever held back time, time again

A magical thing she was, much beauty one of awe
Her myth and magic radiates appeal and much more
Legends are made from her being, songs and words
She′s rarely seen but to the oceans fish or it′s birds

Sitting there, aside of me, we were chatting about life
A desire longing to ask her, if she′d be my Wife
Appeal and desire to have her, grew incredibly strong
Sensing she′d make me happy, my entire life along

I gave her a locket..of the finest silver fair..
An intimate promise from my weary soul
She stared at me with blue eyed wonder
then lost herself in the blues

Waves beat the shore, mesmerised adrift in her potion
Her love and serene beauty were in tune with the ocean
I reached for her hand, yet she slipped into the sea
Leaving me there alone, waving her goodbye to me

Emotions crammed in, relaying we two were made
But I couldn′t have this oceans beautiful mermaid
This was but a dream, the stuff of legends you see
Alone in my fantasy, without my mermaid I′ll be

HIS MERMAID PONDERS....

I float beneath the surface
without need of harsh air
sun-flecks flutter downwards, lost in blue
I breathe the water: oxygen reddens my blood
redder than coral

shoals of fish dart and twist in bright chorus
slow creatures nestle and forage among
dark boulders where weeds
fan out like flukes
waving softly as
my hair

I pause
feel the silver locket
bump gently at my breast
dive back, head over tail like the dolphins....

Stick Wit You - Aladdin

IT IS ONE VIDEO THAT DEFIES THE NOTION THAT THERE CANNOT BE ANY HAPPY ENDINGS..THIS ONE IS FOR HOPE....DEDICATED TO MY BEST PAL.

STICK WIT YOU - lyrics.

Oohooh ooh oohooh ooh...
C'mon!
 
I don't wanna go another day 
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind 
Seems like everybody is breaking up 
And throwing their love away 
But I know I got a good thing right here 
That's why I say (Hey) 
 
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u 
 
I don't wanna go another day 
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind 
See the way we ride, in our private lives 
Ain't nobody gettin' in between 
I want you to know that, you're the only one for me (one for me)
(When I say)
 
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u (nobody)
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u
 
And now, ain't nothing else I could need 
And now, I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me 
I got you, we'll be making love endlessly 
I'm with you (baby I'm with you)
Baby you're with me (baby you're with me, higher)
 
So don't cha worry about 
People hanging around 
They ain't bringing us down 
I know you, and you know me 
And that's all that counts (hey)
So don't cha worry about 
People hanging around 
They ain't bringing us down 
I know you, and you know me 
And that's, that's why I say (Hey)
 
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u (come on)
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u
 
Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u....

YOU ARE THE ONE!!!!



The very first time I saw you,
It was special how we met.
You took me by complete surprise.
I knew my heart was set.

As days flew by, we talked again,
But you never seemed to care.
I tried my best to help you out,
By a favour here or there.

Although I made a fast approach,
Our friendship sprung and grew.
I realized how deep I cared,
But the feeling I felt was new.

In time I became attached to you.
From a hug, I wouldn't let go.
I soon saw how close we were,
And the feeling was good to know.

For you, I wrote sweet letters and songs.
You were on my mind all day.
The thought of sleeping was nowhere near,
Unless I knew you were okay.

It hit me then, what I was in -
A unique and precious love.
For the person I said was only mine,
Was an angel sent from above.

The minutes without you turned into days,
And the seconds with you flew fast.
I could only wish to see you more,
And make each moment last.

The times I spent with you,
Were what made my heart complete.
I knew one thing for sure,
Without you, my future was obsolete.

And now, we love just the same,
As it doubles day by day.
I stare deep into your precious eyes,
Yet I'm still speechless to what I should say.

With you, I'm in a whole new world.
You bring out the best in me.
It's hard to picture you not there,
When you taught me who to be.

Yes, the road ahead gets hard,
When things may only seem rough.
But because you and I try so much,
We'll stay strong and get by tough.

Though problems may lie ahead someday,
And either of us could be right;
I promise to always be by your side,
And I promise my heart, so hold it tight.

And so, each night, beside my bed,
When there are bright stars in the sky;
I pray that we may never give up,
And always remain YOU and I.

SILENT LOVE




Silently,
He smiles to himself,
As he thinks of her,
Sitting alone in her kitchen,
Sipping coffee.
She thinks of him too,
But little does he know it.
Shamefully,
Both pass each other every day,
Without passing on the knowledge,
Of their inwardly turned love.
Time and time again it happens,
For who has the courage to say it first,
Or do they just enjoy,
Their secret love affair.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS - MARY HOPKINS





MARY HOPKIN lyrics

Bhupendra Sir introduced me to this beautiful song and it has captivated my senses ever since..It is one of my favourite songs that will stay close to my heart forever.

ORKUT BUGS..


I cant stop saying enough of this; why waste something that has so much potential? I am referring to the social networking website affiliated to Google - Orkut. Recently i mentioned that some visible changes were seen on Orkut, well some of them were better but it has also resulted in a few bugs. They have used more of AJAX and improved the server so you don't see the “No Donut for you” message anymore.As if we were craving for donuts while surfing. But a lot of other bugs have popped up.

For instance, the Messaging System, which was never up to the mark, has now degraded further. Multiple messages cannot me either marked read or deleted. Now for people like me who just cannot tolerate crap..it is a real waste of time to keep selecting individual messages and deleting them..Why cant there be a provision for deleting all the messages in one's inbox??..And once you click on a message to read it, it automatically does not get marked as read. So every time you have to manually select read messages and mark them as read. The main page has been shrunk and the link displaying number of scraps has been pushed up in the top line.

The scrapping system has always been complicated to users. Most of them don't know how to scrap others. Once you receive a scrap from someone, you have to first visit his profile , click on Scraps and then scrap him. Well with the new "REPLY" system of course..things get easier but still messenger rocks in terms of chatting or communication.The use of AJAX can be well implemented here and an easier way to scrap the sender should be employed. New scraps can only be viewed on refreshing the browser. Real time updating of scraps would be really awesome and would give it an edge over every other contemporary website of its kind.

Another bug noticed by my friend is the empty professional tab under the users profile. If you don't fill up the details in the Professional area, and just enter stuff in the Personal tab, the tab does appear but has no content except for testimonials.After the recent update(if you call it so .. ) scraps can also not be edited. So you either delete the whole thing and type it again or just let it be. I sincerely hope that the Guys from Google read this and improve upon Orkut.

THE KING OF GRASS VS THE KING OF CLAY - WIMBLEDON 2007..It's an ace for tennis as class wins out!!!!

Wow.......
Thats how I can describe the match between Roger Federer - The King of Grass and Rafael Nadal - The King of Clay at CENTRE COURT today..It was the most amazingly spectacular match bringing out the best of the game..

It is well said that "great rivalries produce great tennis"..but it was much more than just a game today.It was a battle of nerves and determination..The eternal fight between the warrior and the artist.Rafael Nadal of course was the best rival and the standard of tennis reaches to its zenith when the World No.1 and No. 2 are both so good that one cannot predict till the very end who will win....

I was applauding the performance of both players..but being a loyal fan of Federer's artistic touches with the court as his canvas and his tennis racket as the brush..I was praying for him..and indeed being several break points down in the decider..5th set..He broke Nadal finally and then won the match by breaking Nadal again on Nadal's serve....With Borg watching from the front row of the Royal Box on only his second visit since his last appearance on Centre Court in 1981, Federer beat Rafael Nadal 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2 after three and three-quarter hours of glorious tennis.

It was a great moment to see at the centre court wherein Federer matched the record of Bjorn Borg..who had come to see the match..and Federer in his speech was as awed by the moment as any of the spectators.


Whats really fascinating is the amount of pressure these people play under when such things make me so very nervous..and still have their nerves and determination intact..Its really really inspiring..The success stories of Pete Sampras - The God of Tennis, Roger Federer -The touch artist and Five time Consecutive Wimbledon Champion, Rafael Nadal who has improved sooooooo much and is giving a tough challenge to Federer on his favourite surface, Venus Williams who emerged as a WINNER after so many years when it was least expected....are so awe inspiring....they GIVE ME LOTS AND LOTS OF COURAGE AND DETERMINATION AND THEIR ENORMOUS HARDWORK AND GRIT GIVES ME THE NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE....THATS A LOT OF INSPIRATION....!!!!

CHEERS TO SHEER EXCELLENCE !!!!
