A couple of months ago, I sat in a different place, under a different sky and a different mug of coffee in hand, doing the same thing I am right now, ditching what am supposed to be in favour of opening up my blog and wiping the dust off the ol' journal. Honestly, am in no mood to write, more out of mere irritation of having run out of shaving cream and the forgetfulness of not purchasing any for the past 4 days, transforming me into somewhat a scraggly bear mothers keep to scare crows away from the balcony. And to drive home exactly how rusty I have become, I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to remember a word that has "oly" at the end, sounds similar to soliloquy and denotes 'chaos'. Melancholy. Yes, I know, shame on me.
I apologise for cribbing as a start to this post. Had to get it out of my system, its been more than a month after all. So much for making 2011 the "highest post count" year! Life's been characterised by total abandonment as I have ceased all possible activity that gave me a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
The guitar gently weeps.
The camera deeply sighs.
The pencil full of vigour.
Now only cries.
All of the above is beyond the point of this post. Yes, I love wasting your time. Live with it! What I want to share with you today, is music. I have a weird tendency, as do many others, to associate songs with people. Do not roll your eyes just yet. I know almost everyone has song associations, its just that the way I associate them with people, its probably got nothing to do with their personalities, just moments that got attached to them and got etched as musical associations. Gibberish. So let me shut up and just get on with it.
Accidentally in love - Imagine a small bunny hopping around to the tune, loving every moment of watching Shrek, flaying her hands in the air every time the drums pick up, batting her gorgeous eyelashes as the song draws to a close. This song is yours dearest Ami.
Dance pe chance - For someone who has probably performed on this song more than the original choreographer herself, is as bubbly and bindaas as the song itself, this one goes out to you Iti.
Kal ho na ho - First day, first show, we bunked lectures and ran to end up watching the movie on the front row. I hate Shahrukh Khan. I still do. It was my best friend's idea and his undying love for SRK that made me watch possibly EVERY damn movie of his that got released during those years. I still love the song though, and no, you may not judge me. Sorry for proclaiming you to the world mate, but here's to you Pramod and your gay-boy SRK!
Iktara - If Wake up Sid is our movie, this song is what reminds me of you constantly. I love you.
The Pinacolada Song - She fell in love with the drink because of the song, need I say more? One of my closest friends, primary sources of music and definitely one of the best booze partners, this one is yours Sonam.
Afterglow - Few know of my music adventures, and she was very much a part of it. Probably one of the few we sang and played on the rooftop, never bothered about how good it came out, just enjoying the serenity it brought. To my favourite drummer, Kriti.
Carnival of rust - This song has become what I call Loki's transition into the world of real music. The way this song moved him, introduced him to a world he lost himself in, enough to make him call me up just to listen to my ringtone play the song. To you mah man Loki!
I hate you (like I love you) - To be able to sing absolute nonsense songs and enjoy them thoroughly, you need an equal nut, and that is you, little Rons. Shake that biscuit baby!
Aazadiyaan - Loved the movie. Love the song. A self-dedication.
If I were to stop here and not acknowledge him, he who introduced me to music, who refined my taste in it, made me love music the way I do, there'd be no point to this post. So here's to you my brother. To you, I dedicate the band Oasis, my first and most favourite. "And sooooooo Sally can wait, she knows its too late !!" *private joke, don't jog your brains*
Guess I just came up with my new playlist. Off for a jog now. Adios!

Can two people have the same song association for each other? If so, I associate the same song with you. If not, I have ten more. In fact, 90% of my playlist consists of songs you recommended :)
Reading what you write is a treat and an inspiration, as always :) Don't make us wait for another post as long as you did for this one :)
Same song, I'd like that! :) Won't write much for fear of certain brats who have pained my happiness as it is! You know what I want to say ;)

the writer's run amok
creativity couldn't give a fuck
am trying hard to pretend
the hand continues to offend
with a million starts
through a billion bends
am afraid seems as though my writing days might be coming to an end
yet a hope might remain
even through all this pain
i can come up with this crap
before my fingers go snap
- Writer's block, can't help it
