When the sun goes down on me !

Read this poem on one of my favourite blogs..its a original one..very heart touching....

So I don't talk about you anymore

And they say things will be better than before

So I live another day , hoping they are right

But now , I lie awake , in this cold November night

I think about you and I believe

that when it's time for me to leave

And the sounds of life are defeated by a silent grace

I , my friend , will want to see your face

You trusted me without a why

And I said I am your shade when the sun is high

You just smiled and did not doubt

My false promises kept the reality out

But when the wolves arrived , you saw me depart

And now , the shards of those promises bleed my heart

and When the lady called life loosens her embrace

I , my friend , will want to see your face

Do you hate me now , I do not know

Do you regret knowing a man so shallow

Does it disgust you to remember my voice

Will you live it again , if given a choice

I think you wont , And I see the reason

But I still wish , though guilty of treason

And when the glow of a setting sun fills the space

I , my friend , will want to see your face

You dont let go of your dreams

For a whisper of love can drown all the screams

I know that to talk of love , I have no right

But sometimes you see something only when it is out of sight

So wherever you are , give love another chance

Let it fill your heart , do it's divine dance

As for me ..when the angels of death carry me to a darker place

I , my friend , will want to see your face..........

Without you!

No I cant forget this eveningOr your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the wayThe story goes
You always smile but in your eyesYour sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I cant forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now its only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
I cant liveIf living is without you
I cant live
I cant give anymore
I cant liveIf living is without you
I cant give
I cant give anymore

Desperado!

Desperado, why dont you come to your senses?
You been out ridin fences for so long now

Oh, youre a hard one
I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow

Dont you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if shes able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine thingsHave been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you cant get

Desperado, oh, you aint gettin no youger
Your pain and your hunger, theyre drivin you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, thats just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Dont your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine

Its hard to tell the night time from the day
Youre loosin all your highs and lows

Aint it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why dont you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin, but theres a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you,
....... before its too late!

I don't wanna miss a thing!

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping..

While you're far away and dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever...

Well, every moment spent with you Is a moment I treasure...

I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing 'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing Lying close to you Feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming Wondering if it's me you're seeing Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together And I just wanna stay with you...

I just wanna hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all the rest of time Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing 'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do...

'Cause I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing 'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss a thing..

Ye Inayatein Ghazab ki!

Ye Inaayatein Ghazab ki..Ye unki meherbaani..
Mera haal bhi pooncha, kisi aur ki zubaani!

Ye Haqeeqat hai ki hota hai asar baaton mein!

Ye Haqeeqat hai ki hota hai asar baaton mein..

Tum bhi khul jaaoge do char mulaqaaton mein!

Tumse sadiyon ki wafaaon ka koi naata tha!

Tumse milne ki lakeerein thi mere haathon mein!

Tere waadon ne humhe ghar se nikalne na diya..

Log mausam ka maza le gaye barsaaton mein!

Ab na sooraj, na sitaare, na shama, aur na chaand..

Apne zakhmon ka ujaala hai ghani raaton mein!

Tum bhi khul jaaoge do char mulaqaaton mein..

Ye Haqeeqat hai ki hota hai asar baaton mein..

Slyveira's guitar Academy and Genres of music!

Folks, When i was in pune for my graduation, i was associated with this amazing person (read the last part to know about hi, dont't scroll now). He was the lead guitarist fotr R.D. Burman for many years. The famous tunes we keep hearing in the songs like "Chura liya hai tumme jo dol ko" and Dum maaro dum are all played by him. i have never seen a person like him who is so full of life and always hillarious. He would always talk about music, life, love and to be able to see the lighter side of life. Through him, i really developed a understanding about how to appreciate good compositions. It does help when we know a little bit about how it must have been composed.

Menino Sylveira, a man possesssed! Sir if you happen to read this blog someday, this post is for you. I must tell you that you had a major influence on my life. I still remeber your words "Whatever you do in your life, there should be touch of class in it". Mediocrity shouldn't have a place within us.

In addition:

Couple of my friends (who are too lazy to put up a comment) have asked me whether i only listen to ghazals as i wrote so passionately about it..its not true. The genres of music i really appreciate are 1) Ghazals (only by jagjit singh), 2) Soft rock (Eagles), 3) Blues (Eric Clapton), Pop (MLTR and Savage garden), Country (John denver). Eagles are my all time favourite band. I think their compositions are exceptional and no one can match them ever, especially their songs like tequilla sunrise and hotel california. Among the new age bands, MLTR has really rocked. Their lyrics and compositions are touching, but driven by one man "Jashcha richter" who is the lead singer,lyricist and composer. I used to like Byran adms as well during my early teens, specially "Heaven". Rock on!
