Stop and Stare

An ideal morning for me would be an extended version of a Sunday Morning. Waking up at 10, making a hot cup of coffee with just the right amount of sugar and creamer with VH1 playing the Top 20 countdown. Wow! Perfect start to a perfect day.

Tonight, when the college breaks in mid of spring semester, I try to recollect how fast the days have gone by in recent weeks. I have been more or less able to cope up with facts and figures which would give a normal guy a heart attack. Of course, when you try to juggle more than 3 balls, it's likely you goof up somewhere. I am no professional neither a genius. So trying to play just an average guy - which indicates that my acads are not going too well, but yeh in an amortized sense ; everything is just all fine.

The visit to NYC was awesome. We stayed at Broadway Millennium which is at Times Square (I mean AT Times Square, of course, you can't be "at" per se, but it was 10 steps from there). I had the 46th floor with nice view of - yeh - The Times Square :). NYC was freezing. The hotel was too much comfortable. We had lots of coffee, thanks to the Coffee Maker provided in the room. I guess it tops the list of first-to-be-bought-items when I visit NYC in summer. Roaming around the city reminds me of Bombay. But it is way more than that. It's a real cosmo world. And I mean world.

I have been watching the Top20 Countdown on VH1. Everyday when I wake up, its perhaps the best thing to make my eyes at least open and start peeping, even if it is the Idiot Box. There are two songs which are currently in the Top 10 and are awesome. You can listen to them online.

"Falling Slowly" from the band "The Frames" won the Academy Award this year.

"Stop and Stare" from the band "RepublicOne" is a debut, still a good debut.

So, next time you get a chance, hook on to rhapsody or youtube and watch them!

Few lines from "Stop and Stare"

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

Adios and Happy Spring Break!
