When I woke up today, after some moments of unsure deliberation about what I wanted to do today, I thought about yesterday. How I had laid yet another day to waste. Accomplishments - zilch. Progress - nada. Achievements - zero.
Last night's dinner at Adiga's (Banerghatta Road) and ice-cream at Naturals did not manage to satiate me at all. And I don't understand the fascination everybody has with them. I found them to be just OK. Not bad, not that good either.
I decided I need some change on my Facebook profile. After a few minutes of contemplation, I resolved to change the cover & profile pics. Going through old folders of pictures, I found more than a few that made me laugh at the hopeless buffoon that I am in front of a camera. Finally, I settled for a recent enough vague looking one for the profile pic and an old one with some good old college buddies for the cover.
Meanwhile one of my best buds, who is currently toiling himself over in Vietnam, pinged me. One of the few guys I share everything with, he knows what goes on in my mind even before it does. Talking to him led me to a sombre mood.
When I logged on to Youtube to find and play some of the golden oldies, I found out that if you search for Yahudi's "ye mera deewanapan hai..", you get the pole dance video from Sunny Leone on 'Bigg Boss 5' as the top result. I wondered why is that after watching the clip once. It wasn't a great performance and it wasn't such a great rendition of the song either. That singer has butchered a Mukesh classic. And if it were up to me, she would rot in hell for this.
Realizing that my mood is about to betray me once more, I have lined up a few other songs from Mukesh, Hemant Kumar & Mahendra Kapoor. I know that more than half the day is gone again. And I am on my way to almost repeat yesterday. But then, I find it intriguing how these old sad songs lift me up so very easily. I think about her and a faint smile appears to win me over.
