Kingdom Of Rust

Watch the Video. Jez Williams goes around the United Kingdom to find a suitable place to bury his lover's ashes. There are so many connections. It is just beautiful. Kingdom of Rust - I'll pack my bags, thinking of one of those hours, with you, waiting for you.....

I hear a sound

A sound above my head

Distant sound of thunder

Moving out on the moor

Blackbirds flew in

And to the cooling towers

I'll pack my bags

Thinking of one of those hours

With you

Waiting for you

My god

It takes an ocean of trust

In the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel

Some beauty in my heart

As I go searching

Right to the start

The road back to Preston

Was jutted out in snow

As I went looking

For that stolen heart

For you

Waiting for you

My god

It takes an ocean of trust

Takes an effort, it does

My god

It takes an ocean of trust

It's in the Kingdom of Rust

I long to feel

That wince in my heart

As I went looking

I couldn't stop

Now I'm

Waiting for you

It's nice here. No hassles - no tubes and no Punks walking freely on the road with bad breath and poor style. People don't appreciate watching the desi's walk around but that's okay. I guess we Indians are used to the fact that no one in the world really accepts us.

Something very interesting came across the other day. I was writing this test and i stumbled upon a sentence correction question. I dont remember the structure, but it was something like - It has been found that people who don't do well in academics, earn much more that people who excelled in academics at some point in time.

I was watching "The Italian Job" and i made this connection. You need a lot of brains to steal something. The kind of strategy they put in (like Oceans 11) - It is nearly impossible for someone ordinary to achieve that. Take for example the IIT'ians/ IIM grads/ Stanford Grads/ MIT Grads/ etc etc. The list goes on. The fact is that graduates from such big institutes always end up making pot loads of money. Now, the kind of people who actually manage to get into these places are actually the one's who are talented/brilliant/smart. So ideally these are the people who know the art of stealing money from the market for their own benefit. Only smart people can do that. So if you get a high GMAT score and you write good essay's and manipulate your resume in such a way that you are recognized as a SMART KID - you make it to these places. So the smart kid wins again.

Otherwise, things are the way they used to be last year around. I came across another event that happened 2 years back - rather i was reminded of. Since the designs are more simplified now, i feel that i am in a better place than before.

Heartattack In A Layby

I pull off the road  East of Baldock and Ashford  Feeling for my cell  In the light from the dashboard   Hissing from the road  The smell of rain in the air con  Maybe check the news  Or just put a tape on   Lighting up a smoke  I've got this feeling inside me  Don't feel too good   If I close my eyes  And fell asleep in this layby  Would it all subside  The fever pushing the day by   Motor window wind  I could do with some fresh air  Can't breathe too well   (She waits for me. Home waits for me.)   I guess I should go now  She's waiting to make up  To tell me she's sorry  And how much she missed me  I guess I'm just burnt out  I really should slow down  I'm perfectly fine but  I just need to lie down   We'll grow old together  We'll grow old together  We'll grow old together...

"While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?".... I have been screaming my lungs out. I never expected the "Three Days Grace 4 minute like static music" to take me for another fantastic fall.

It's been awhile since the bench at clapham south happened. I am gonna turn 24 years old this month. I remember my last birthday... Had a time yea! Aye Mate! 

Jolly be the one who travelled the road less hated!

 

The Bench in Clapham South

Its a beautiful sight. I don't think it can reflect its sanctity if i try to capture it in a photograph and put it up on a piece of magnet. It has taken me on the most bewildering ride, of all times immemorial. I guess this has to be the final take from London. I am content and satisfied. Gush of wind, freshness and solitude. The baggage is too heavy and i need to get on the flight. But it's not like i have to carry it. It will go with the others. Everyone carries a lot of baggage. After all, it's a long flight.
It was nice to see a stage in the middle of the park. Open spaces with green reflection. Around the periphery runs the nightingale walk. Perpendicular to the walk are the two tennis courts. It is always bubbling with people. Yet very calm and serene. The bench in clapham south......it'll always remind me of today.

Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802

Earth hasd not anything to show me more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning:
silent, bare,Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields and to the sky;
ALl bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did a sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour valley, rock or hill;
Ne`er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
