Men don't cry

“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

:David Harkins, british poet.

I would shiver all night through

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through


American folk song of Southern Appalanchian origin.

Friday musing......

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.....

Pretty good song......had a tough time understanding the urdu words......but if that handicap is put paid to, its a superbly inspirational fare.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

Manzil mushkil toh kya,
Dhundhala saahil toh kya,
Tanha yeh dil toh kya.

Raha pe kaante bhikre agar,
Uus pe toh phir bhi chalna he hai,
Shaam chupale suraj magar,
Raat ko ek din dhal na he hai,
Rut yeh tal jaayegi,
Himmat rang layeegi,
Subha phir aayegi.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

Hogi hume jo rehmat adaa,
Dhoop kategi saaye taale,
Apni khuda se hai yeh duaa,
Manzil laga le humko gale,
Jorrat sau bar rahe,
Ooncha ikraar rahe,
Zinda har pyaar rahe.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh aarzoo kaise ruke.

There is only one thing that stands between you and the 14th : Time. Nothing Else!Absolutely nothing else!

I wonder how it feels : to put in your best effort and still be unsuccessful. To be told that " it wasn't your day" and that " God must have some other plan for you" by people who don't give a shit about it. Wouldn't such a failure make you doubt yourself? If it does, then ,Roger said the perfect thing during the presentation :" God, It's killing me!". Because self-belief is everything. Ultimately everybody has similar talent levels...... its Self - Belief that gets you out of the pile and puts you at the top.

Anyway Roger, you played like a king . Its just that Nadal was the better player on the night.He showed amazing reserves of resilience and character , and in my opinion, was a deserving winner.

What transpired during the presentation was touching. OK , it has happened in the past as well. But one didn't expect Roger to vent his emotions . Now that it has been done I hope he will emerge with a lighter heart , and hopefully as the year progresses, as a better player.

What was also quite remarkable was the camaraderie Roger shared with Nadal. No doubt Rafa's fans are obnoxious....but the lad is pure gold. Especially what he said to Roger after the defeat. A flip-flopping bitch of a person would have said stuff like " everything happens for a reason"(or worse, would have joined an orkut community to shed similar crocodile tears !) or something similarly shitty. But like a true champion , and as a man, he called on Roger to compete again next year, indirectly telling Roger that he believed in him . NO FALSE EMOTIONS. Rafa,thanks for your sincerity.



The rivalry only gets more intriguing........
