Randomness

Here's my first (of many i'm sure) post dedicated to the insanity in me!

For those of you who don't know me that well....I am a pretty sensible,predictable and kinda boring sort of girl. But there come days (once in a few weeks or months) when all sense puts in its papers and goes on a long vacation, leaving me to enjoy a bout of pure unadulterated insanity and randomness!!! People who have been unfortunate enough to witness me on such days (Sanika can give u plenty of instances...poor girl!!)will testify to my mad behaviour...whether they laugh with me or at me...i can guarantee you its a lot of entertainment!!!hehe

Anyway, this post is a testament to my first such attack of randomness since i got to IISc. It was bang in the middle of my semester finals. I was fighting a losing battle with sleep, cramming immunology. As expected, my mind wandered (much to kuby's disapproval) and i came up with this poem! For those of you who have heard this song, you will realise its my attempt to translate it in English, and the comic twist to it is ENTIRELY INTENTIONAL!!hehe....and before i get a lot of hate mail for ruining the song, let me clarify that i totally love this song too!!!

So keep your brain in some safe place where it'll be unable to influence you and read on. Anyone who has seen David Dhaawan movies like Judwaa should have no problem accomplishing this (dont you just love how their twin, same action thing kicks in only when they are geographically in the same country and later on is subject to be turned on and off at will!! Hindi movies rock!!)

Tambourine

O my heart, u r so crazyyyyy
Lord alone knows what u[ve been thinkin....
Lord alone knows what u’ve been thinkin, mad guy!!
Why do u keep distracting me with dreamz??!!!
When dreams rain down drop drop,
My eyes go flip flop......
When dreams rain down drop drop,
My eyes go flip flop
How am i to walk...
When i cant see...
Strange roads in front of me!!!!

Far away there plays a tambourine tambourine
Far away there plays a tambourine (2)
Soft echoes of a tambourine tambourine
Soft echoes of a tambourine
Far away there plays a tambourine tambourine
Far away there plays a tambourine

Ignorant of the world around me i listen to a story,
Whether its the full story or not, god alone knows!!
I became somebody else’s without even knowing,
Whether he’ll be here forever or go abroad!!!
who knows it all??!!!
Please give him a call!!!

When the dreams rain down drop drop..
My eyes go flip flop!!! (2)
How am i to walk
When i cant see....
Where the road is leading me!!!
Far away plays a tambourine tambourine
Far away plays a tambourine (2)
Soft echoes of a tambourine tambourine
Soft echoes of a tambourine
Far away plays a tambourine tambourine tambourine
Far away plays a tambourine!!!

PS: FOr those who are wondering abt my choice of Tambourine as an intrument, i have 2 awesome references
a) Dangerous Minds - awesome movie by Michael pfeiffer which led me to my second reference
b) Hey Mr. Tambourine man- Bob DYlan (really nice song!!)

And more importantly- PLZ DONT SEND ME HATE MAIL FOR THIS!!! :(
