There are times, especially while listening to songs, that you realize how the lyrics completely describes your state of mind, and this song called “Luck Man” by Verve, also the OST for the movie ‘The Girl Next Door‘, describes mine.

I have been listening to this beautiful song for a few weeks now and absolutely love the song for its simplicity, choice of words and music.  Apart from listening to it often, have also learnt the Guitar chords. Check the video and if you’re also one of them who loves the song, try the chords…

Happiness
More or less
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

OM is the highest and most abstract mantra of all. Om is the Shabdabraham or the sound by which the universe was created, the ancient name for the “bing bang” theory of modern Scientist.

OM, although indivisible consist of 3 letters and represents 4 states of consciousness:

A, U, M and the aftersound – anagata, represented by the dot placed above the letter M in Sanskrit.

• A sounded “Ah” is the beginning of every language, sounded from the throat.

Vaiswanara, the Self as the universal person in his physical being. Whosoever knows Vaiswanara obtains what he desires, and becomes the first among men.

• U sounded “Oo” from the palate. It corresponds to Taijasa, the Self as the universal person in his mental being. Taijasa and the letter U both stand in dream, between waking and sleeping. Whosoever knows Taijasa grows in wisdom, and is highly honoured.

At the start of 2009, I dedicated the year to the cause of ‘ek titli‘ and the year started of well with an event in Pune where we distributed plants for free. But then the cause took a back seat and my relationship took a priority. Most of the year was spent in saving it.

I quit my job to focus my energies to the cause of ‘ek titli’ and also working on the relationship, but in vain. The titli is gearing for its flight but unfortunately the relationship didn’t see the light of the day. I think its nature’s way of saying, hey I gotta take something to give something.

The other day I was watching this movie called Jaan-e-Mann starring Salman Khan, Preity Zinta and Akshay Kumar and the lyrics of one of the songs describes my situation. Here it is:

Amongst the mud of lust, there's always a lotus of love that blooms!

WHETHER SOMEBODY HATES YOU OR SOMEBODY LOVES YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN YOU.

If you are, you remain the same. If you are not, then you are immediately changed. If you are not, then anybody can pull you, push you; then anybody can push your buttons and change you. Then you are a slave, then you are not a master. Your mastery begins when whatsoever happens outside does not change you; your inner climate remains the same.

I’ve been a huge fan of super hero movies: electrifying stunts, gadgets, speed et al, Be it the Transformers series, Batman, Spider Man (only the first, can’t imagine a super hero cry, cry for a girl. Duh!) and now Iron Man. Have been eagerly waiting for the sequel (it’s due on the 7th. May. 10) but until then for all you fans of the movie, here’s the trailer. If there’s something more that you want, check out the pictures [+]
