wish i was there!

I guess I was 9 when, for the first time someone asked me.
“Ashoo, tula motha houn kai banaycha ahe?”
(What do you want to do when you grow up?)

The answer was simple,
“Goa Bus Driver”.

I was fascinated by the concept of a “Tour Bus” and their drivers to me, were the coolest people on earth. They were rated higher than ‘Pele’ in my books.

My Parents always laughed at this, but never did tell me that it was a bad profession (i mean, some people would now look into the financial aspect of ones future and definitely rate this as a bad one). Thats reason #78383, why I love my parents so much :).

Still, “Why Goa Bus Driver?” would you say.
Well, I really don’t know what I was thinking back then, but I am sure I had a definite reason for it. May be because I loved to travel.

But now with about 25 days away from being a Masters in Computer Science (the other half of my parents would be proud of this I guess), I still think being a “Goa Bus Driver” is a coolest thing on planet. Cooler than all the beer stacked up in Goa.

new hall_of_famer

today, coldplay have been officially added to my “hall of fame” list with the release of their new single : Speed of Sound

music: colplay - speed of sound

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand…

Ideas that you’ll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn’t read,
or a light that I couldn’t see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I have found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah when you see it then you’ll understand…

All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh…
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah, when you see it then you’ll understand…
