Chokher aloi

One of the most beautiful Tagore song, thanks to Arijit for helping me covering the song, my voice was never good enough for that kinda masterpiece though , I never had classic music lessons. Forgive me if you are a Rabindra Shangeet fan, I didn't intend to ruin this classic. I'm so in love with the song that I had to make a cover. 

"The world I had seen,

A world of images, was outside.

Now, as darkness draws a screen,

I turn to my heart for a vision.

There were times I yearned for you

When I searched high heaven

And you willfully kept me at bay

Even so, you engaged my whole heart.

But now, I find you within me,

Aglow in your own radiance.

There were times we were engrossed in play

Till all toys were pitilessly dashed

By a tempest that destroyed my world

We have had enough of playfulness.

It is time to let life in

It is time for one soul to meet another

My severed lute-strings have lost their function,


I will play on
 strumming on my heartstrings"

13 year old

1997, 1998....those were the happy years. And i was a kid full of dreams..it was the time when dreams did look larger than life. I wanted to become pilot, filmstar, astronomer, cricketer ; everything at the same time. Growing up makes you scared,..those dreams are just lost, disappeared ,like a faded light darkened in time..Looking back those carefree childhood days, found these drawings in my old diary, there was a show on tv back then and i was a big fan . So drew this hulk Hogan sketch, pretty good for a 13 year old, isnt it?

Dark Passenger.

And everyday I forget ..and I remember again .. To just wait and watch and the grass will grow on its own .. ...a new day and a new hope to rise above, to make an opportunity out of suffering and to eclipse life's tumult with just a moment of sheer, spontaneous joy!

Not myself

From good old days. I covered this song way back in 2010 I think. My voice sounds a bit shaky and the recording quality is pretty bad as well, but still good old memories.!! I remember I used to like this song so much, one of my favorite John Mayer song( he used to be a good musician before turning into a complete jerk) , beautiful lyrics and a smoothing tune.. don't blame me for trying to cover it. :)

Childhood bOx

On the eve of 28th birthday getting some flashbacks of my childhood..growing up,glowing down!...I kept my childhood in a box: old tapes, my double deck Panasonic CD player, my 32KB old digital Casio diary,my favorite boyband poster, a few marbles- blue and yellow, colored pencils and some pastels, sketches of a girl I don't remember, a few Archies and Tintin .. a T-shirt that I almost gave to my brother, and my diaries that tell of a time so full of hopes and dreams: a life without darkness and fear!  (Pic year:2008)

Looking at my "wana-be-philosopher" writting , no idea where these thoughts came from... 

it's hard to believe I used to have nice handwriting before the internet came into our lives and took over our thumbs.
