But that’s not what gets me…

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowin’
What could’ve been…
(Rascall Flatts, What Hurts the Most)

Ek Lau Is Tarah… :(

I have no words to describe my shock, confusion, anxiety, sorrow, and disappointment, my helplessness, my anger, my frustration, my irritation, at what is happening in my country now. I do now know how to voice my thoughts. I just follow the news and think, think, think constantly.
I just want to dedicate this to all [...]

Another look at Rabbi’s songs…

I was happy to read this news piece, confirming my own thoughts on his songs, in his own words. Rabbi is indeed a female sympathetic song writer, and chooses to write about the crucial topics facing India right now: female foeticide and the rights of the girl child. His beautiful songs speak out to me, [...]

Rabbi’s Lyrics (aka Avengi Ja Nahin, Part II)

Lyrically, Avengi Ja Nahin has several songs that seem singularly female-sympathetic, an attitude that is refreshing in a young male singer, and important in our generation. While the first album had songs that chose a woman as their heroine, like the girl wandering around the country searching for answers and finding more questions in Jugni, [...]

Rabbi Shergill’s Wonderful New Album: Avengi Ja Nahin

Avengi Ja Nahin, Rabbi Shergill

I’m a little late catching up to Rabbi’s latest work, unfortunately, though he has been on my list of favorite singers ever since Jugni, Tere Bin and Ishtihaar reached my ears and their words (translated lyrics, because Rabbi usually sings in pure Punjabi) reached my mind. I caught a video of [...]

Where I Belong.

We lose
Yet we want to spare the feelings of those we love
Don’t cry
We’ve all lied
But there is always room for forgiveness my friend
So don’t treat me bad just be glad I am strong
I know where I belong
And soon you will see we are blessed and complete
There’s a place here for you with me
Shine
You’re fine
See I [...]

No Bravery…No Humanity

 “Boy, 5, set on fire by masked men.”
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/08/22/iraq.boy/index.html#cnnSTCText
I have no words to describe my disgust, sadness, and anger. What can you say about such a cruel, inhumane, horrible act? Except that it is shameful and absolutely terrifying that the bastards who did this are part of the human race. Is my blood really the same [...]

i just want a perfect world
sorry i don’t see life the way you do
if i could i’d be just the same as you
every day parade [...]

La Tortura

I hate hypocrisy. Which is why I’m amazed it took me so long to realize the discord between my recently cynical posts and the theme for my blog “I’m a believer.” After much thought (I have to keep my mind busy with SOMETHING), I realized changing the theme would be much easier than just changing myself [...]
