A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Holiday Songs - I like this one
So this is Christmas.
And what have you done ?
Another year over
and a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas.
I hope you have fun,
the near and the dear ones,
the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
for weak and for strong,
for rich and the poor ones.
The road is so long.
And so happy Christmas
for black and for white,
for yellow and red ones.
Let's stop all the fight.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
So this is Christmas.
And what have we done ?
Another year over
and a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas.
We hope you have fun,
the near and the dear ones,
the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
War is over if you want it.
- John Lennon

OK, I'm back already
- "And was it his destined part
- Only one moment in his life
- To be close to your heart?
- Or was he fated from the start
- to live for just one fleeting instant,
- within the purlieus of your heart."
- Ivan Turgenev
Background: Some time ago I watched the movie Saawariya, found the story interesting and knew as always, it must have been inspired from someone else. Some wiki-ing later, my hunch was confirmed and the original was a Doestoevsky short story by the name of White Nights. The quote above is where the story begins. I just really like it. Tragedy, Unrequited Love, Melancholy, these are a few of my favorite things...
Oh, It's been a while
We used to know each other well...
I'm not sure, but I just feel like starting again. So maybe I'll come back more often or maybe not. I don't really have much to say or show...(for now) BUT I'm sure a shiny and new layout could help! Ahh..I love the smell of new things :)
So We'll see...we'll see....we'll see....
BTW I hate it when people tell me "we'll see"

GoodReads
I've recently joined, its a great way to keep track of what you're reading, what you've read and your thoughts, and what you'd like to read if you had the time, and my personal addition: all the books collecting dust on my bookshelf...
