Sampling a new life

hey i m jo3 reporting live from the garden city of india bangalore...

Well that wasnt quite the tone i wanted, so here i m sitting in the house of my friends brother's friend... that may sound quite far fetched in the beginning but believe me, we who hail from god's own country has this way with other fellow godland travelers.

This may be regarded as some sort of informal travelogue but in fact it is me trying to sample a place i ll be experiencing in detail in less than 2 months.
Bangalore a place considered by most youngsters to be the Vegas in India is much more than what it seems. Beneath all the traffic and apparent rush to make money that is seen even on the mannerism of the beggars this city has some soul. Something that keeps it kicking every cold morning through scorching afternoons to dusty and freezing nights. This city has an ocean of never ending opportunity to take the fatigue off all the minds scorched by millions of lines of codes and irritating bugs. Also worth noting is the apparent rush of all the people tying hard and fast to advertise their superior pheromones, trying to appeal to the fellow by ways of mannerisms and sense of fashion.

This city now mostly populated my an immigrated mass does not seem so. Everyone dwelling here native or otherwise feel a sense of belonging. At least most of them do. Everyone seem to be looking for something but no one really knows. Most of the brain in bangalore, mainly focused on the rather drab job of outsourcing and solution and other not so demanding software professions are constantly in a search for other more lucrative yet still less demanding professions. Some people move on finding that they have come to a place retarding their growth, some though come to terms with the fact that searching is pointless and make the most of what they have and enjoy. But whatever the case no one is tense no one is really worried no one is really worked up. That is by far the most beautiful thing about this city. There is always an alternative, there is always a competitor.

People are always on the move. people are always up to something. From the eyes of a graduate in the making it is the perfect battle ground where he can hope to better or hope to get lost. Bangalore my friends is the place to be wen u feel that u miss something in life.


As i bid farewell

Looking back a few years
Straying astray in the memory lane
Acquaintances friendships and more
feel that one may miss this place

Growth mostly intangible
Along directions in this head
Naive to cunning back to gullible
Influenced irritated in this crucible

Sometimes i don't know if it is me
Sometimes I think its only me
People around changing
Changing them I m left lagging

Then tragedy caught up with one
One fell in love, gave it all
All was lost, burnt in love
Moved on, scarred sick and scared

One felt the pull, by colours
Colours of hope, music of the mind
Drawn in my den, I was reborn
Born again from my ashes

Now i leave to worlds unknown
Farewell dear sanctum sanctuary
As a tear roll down my cheeks
I know i m going to miss this place...

The trip's killer grip

There she goes again
Yet again after the pain
Regretting them life's stain
After trouble so vain

She snorts a monster line
Feeling dizzy, high as a pine
She looks around, everything so fine
Men and women caught by the spine

She tries sitting but she wants to walk
She tries walking but all she do is talk
The pain kicks in burning her nerves
She wants to scream but only laughs

She knows the end is near
The time to remember all so dear
Lying on the floor twitching
Memories pass rapidly switching

Feeling sorry, she tries to cry
With a throat so very dry
The fun trip now has its grip
Tentacles drag her to the abyss
To the abyss

TALKING TO THE SELF

Hit me now... You shall not run me down
I am the one you can't kill
You may be strong but I am never wrong
You may laugh but I always make you cry

You are weak inside, so uninitiated
You follow your heart but it follows me
May god save the one you are
But if you believe him I am true

You have much to pay
Trespasses unforgivable... much to pay
I am the one you feared, the one you dread
Look at me now, Feel the sun, tomorrow there is none

Talk to me, acknowledge me boy
With all your money health and power
You have no clemency cards
You are mine, like always, You weakling

Confess as much as you like
I am no padre, I am you, always were
Now you pay, Now you face the music
Ending your life, the one so sick..
the one so irreparably sick.

RISE TO THE SUN

Hey my friend, what are you looking for?
In the dark, in the sun, what are you looking for?
Wake up from your dream
Rise up my friend you are more

Pitch black, unknown, why trouble yourself???
rise brother turn on the lights within
Find the god your lord in your head
Making you strong, making me strong

Seeing, believing shed your doubts
Hold your ground... weakness kills you slow
Peace you search in this storm
Read the weather only when it is calm

Chaos is the way of the universe
Like it is in this verse
Learn to feel my son, then feel the world
You are second to none, Rise now
Rise to the sun... Rise to the sun..

POST APOCALYPTIC HUMOUR

Dead man.. wake up, wake me up
This graveyard in paradise
Just when everything was right
Apocalypse shone down on us

All the answers, All the questions
Nevermind who the hell cares
Don't judge and you shall be spared
Prophecies gone wrong really wrong

Existense! the basic need
Never really is in our hands
We are tiny, flamable, expendable
Search not, you shall not overcome

Despair not my son, Keep options
Believe your leader
He may take you to the promise land
Think Not... you are already dead
Think Not... you are already dead
already dead.....

THE GUILTY

Are you satisfied?
Making me waste my sky,
My earth, my life
Are you happy dear?

Breaking me, shaking me
Hating me with all your hate
Twisting my neck, pressing my eyes
Are you satisfied?

Calling me names
Names that hurt me most
Saying it again yet again
Are you satisfied?

Cry my darling
Let out your pain
I am the one you need
Please bleed me dry

Forgiveness I ask not
I am guilty am I not
Convict me guity
For I killed your heart.
