!

Recently, a friend pointed out to me that I use a lot of exclamation marks. I am sure most of you guys are saying - duh!

Well, I do know I use a lot of them. And if you have not noticed yet, I do use a lot of commas too. And they are all there, serving their purpose. The intent of all this is to make your reading match the intensity, or passion, with which I would have narrated the incident to you! Um, I know it is quite difficult for you to understand what I mean to say, if you have never heard me speak.

Anyhow, I guess I am at my passionate best, when I am swearing! I am certain that anyone who has heard me swear will stand by that statement! For those (very unlucky!) guys, who have never heard me swear, may be reading this post would give you a little heads-up!

PS: I know I had resolved to stop swearing at the start of the year. And I must say that I was extremely successful with it - till about the last week of June. Since then, I have been swearing uncontrollably, like an absolute maniac! So I guess we all know one thing that is going to make it to my resolution list for the coming year!

Hey There Now

I think I am possessed! What else can explain my sudden inclination towards writing all mushy crap?

This is a song I wrote this evening, and that too, in under two hours flat! I had no intentions whatsoever of writing one, but it just kind of happened, while I was practising playing chord progression on the guitar. I somehow ended up with a catchy tune, and then voila! Anyhow, let me stop with the introduction right here, and start with the song already!

Remember those early days?
We were forever lost in each other’s gaze
We had so much to share
While discovering each other in many ways

But then you walked away
You said you’ve got nothing left to say
And I just stand here today
Wondering what could I have said for you to stay?

Hey there now
Didn’t you hear me calling out for you loud?
Hey there now
Didn’t you see me when you walked past by?

It’s only a matter of time
Before your temper goes away and you’ll be fine
And then I hope you’ll realise
It was as much as your fault as it was mine!

Hey there now
Didn’t you hear me calling out for you loud?
Hey there now
Didn’t you see me when you walked past by?

I think I found a lyricist for my band!

When You Are With Me

Now this is something that I had never thought I would ever do. This post is actually a song that I wrote a few weeks ago.

I must admit, I was deeply inspired by Creed while I was working on this. (Scott Stapp rocks!) All in all, it took me about a week to complete it and fit it into a melody. Oh, in case you think it is way too much time – let me remind you that I have a regular day job, and had to work on this during the limited spare time! I am a very busy guy, you see!

Anyway, here is the song.

When I was battered
You lay beside me
And you got me on my feet again
When I was cold
You wrapped your arms around me
And you kept me warm and safe

When I was lifeless
You filled my veins with your blood
And you breathed your life to me
When I was homeless
You let me stay in your heart
And you taught me how to dream

I do believe
I could do anything
When you are with me
I do believe
We could do anything
When you are with me

With you beside me
I fear no one
'Cause I'm protected by your love
In you I find my
Strength and purpose
To live my life the way it should be

I do believe
I could do anything
When you are with me
I do believe
We could do anything
When you are with me

So would you please
Stay here with me
And show me how to live?

And yeah, just in case if you are wondering as to who this song is about – um, would you believe me if I said Jesus?!

No?!

I thought so!
