have been thinking about this for a few days now… communications, conversations, relations, expectations everything mixed up… was wondering why and how people who were friends once tend to move away from each other…
is it that our lives take different turns with time… or our priorities differ… or as Raina says “out of sight.. out of mind”… not really sure…
i am wondering why ppl who once used to be an integral part of my social circle are now nowhere to be seen.. except in some old photographs or some occasional phone calls which are good enough to remind me of the great times we had…
where did the distances creep in from… how come “moving on” became leaving the great present behind…i must say in a lot of cases.. i stopped making any efforts to be in touch… there used be so li’il to talk about.. and at times i feel.. just a casual hello call would have done wonders to keep things alive…and in some of the cases.. where i did some sincere efforts to keep in touch the magic “two way communication” did not happen and eventually those relationships came to a halt…
during all these letting go times.. i managed to earn a lot of new friends… and continued with letting the olders ones go !!! and somewhere down the line i feel that life has become more like a automobile assembly line… where things come to get together… they grow together for a while.. and then comes a time.. when the near perfect piece of machine moves on…. leaving the assembly line there… to think of the good and the bad which got into the machines when they were there…
is this note getting too pessimistic.. well that was not the idea.. the idea was really to find out
why ppl go away… why do we let the best of our friends move away knowing that they are invaluable for us…
why do we part saying that i will be a phone call away.. and not that i will call you sometime…
why do we part saying that i am gonna crib if you do not write an email… and not that i will try and write to you…
why do we part saying “bye bye“… and not “see you“… ( this reminds me of Aarti… who never used to say Bai… she always said C U… good goings Aarts… God bless…)
phew… too heavy a note.. but i am feeling kinda light after getting all this junk outta my head…
time to read the lyrics of a song and try to humm whatever i remember of the music….
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead
Well the years start coming
And they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
Hey now you’re an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you’re a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now
But wait ’til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm
So you might as well swim
My world’s on fire how about yours?
That’s the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey now you’re an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you’re a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now you’re an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you’re a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars…
Somebody once asked
Could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep
What a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming
And they don’t coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets
You’ll never know if you don’t go (GO)
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
Hey now you’re an All Star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now you’re a Rock Star
Get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Thanks Smashmouth….NOW ME IS FEELING BETTER 🙂
