Sing along...

Lately, I have been listening to lot of Rock/Pop/Metal/folk/country music.. Some are inspiring, some are of great help when stressed or angry, some are jus so soothing that you keep listening to ‘em, some make you wanna dance, some make you wanna head-bang, some just makes you sad, some really cheers you up, some can just put you to sleep anytime. Henceforth I was just wondering if I can come up with few of my favorites… and after an endeavoring effort, here they are...

With the Gods of Metal.. Metallica - India Concert 2011 Experience

Oct 30^th 2011: A day which will go down in history. The first ever F1 race & the first Metallica concert (after waiting 30 years) in India. Ever. And I was there to see the Gods of Metal play. Indeed!! J How was it? Well, here is how it was:

The Spider’s Web...

We rise, we fall, we celebrate.

Just when we think

how difficult it’s to rise;

The human in us hopes

we do not face the fall.

The most celebrated festival;

the festival of Lights,

where we pray and hope

and hope nothing goes wrong.

Just when we think

all is right,

it usually isn’t,

It’s never all right.

An orb-spinning spider

puts its elegant traps together

for years for months

hoping to catch its prey.

Just when we think

we will not be the cause anyone’s fall;

we wipe the cobweb in a flash

on eve of the festival.

Just when we think

we human are gifted with the power;

The power to think, the power to act.

But do we really think, are we really human?

Ask the spider who lost its home

at the cost of our own celebration.

And you will be surprised,

how a small thing can redefine your life.

Through the rain forests of Agumbe

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

After the rocky mountains of Savandurga a couple of weeks back, we were up for the rain forests down south. It was a whole new adventure filled with the pleasant view of nature at its best and sick leeches sucking the blood out of us. Memorable as always, filling our hearts with the times of joy, here is the journey to Agumbe: The Cherapunji of South.

I will always return - Savandurga Trek

I will always return

I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong - that calls my name
It's wild like the river - it 's warm like the sun
Ya it's here - this is where I belong

Under the skies - where eagles have flown
This place is paradise - it 's the place I call home
The sun on the mountains
The whisper through the trees
The waves on the water
Let nothing come between this and me

Cuz everything I want - is everything that's here
And when we're all together - there's nothing to fear

And wherever I wander - the one thing I've learned
It's to here - I will always...always return

5 AM in the morning. After a long time I was up so early, waiting to see the sunrise in Bangalore. No! I dint get up to prepare for any exam. I am past all that. By the way, I never woke up early to prepare for exams. Nevertheless, this time it was for trekking. Savandurga. Never heard of it before. Or wait!! May be I ve heard of it but I don’t remember. Dam my memory. Anyways I get ready & all set to go & get tarnished.
