ROCK ON!

To begin with, sincere apologies for the brief period of inactivity that this blog has suffered for the past 2 or 3 weeks! I've found myself addicted to an intoxicating dose of boredom and self-pity! The final few days in Trivandrum have become unbearable, and the countdown draws not only the fear of separation, but also the anticipation of freedom! The feeling is both stifling and liberating all at once! Needless to say, I've been passing through this "gunk" (guy funk) for several days now, and it's pretty much reached saturation point! The call of life to move on cannot be ignored for long.

It's been a wonderful seven years in Trivandrum, and given the choice, I probably would choose not to change any of the decisions I've made over this period, the friends I've made, and the experiences I've had! I can't stay morose for long, else I'll end up sacrificing my sanity. In my bid to reach out of the bottomless pit of depression that I've dug for myself, I've returned to my one true love.....Music! These holidays have been a torture for multiple reasons, some of which I choose not to discuss, and have ebbed away at my self-confidence! I've felt trapped, suffocated like never before, with the urge to get away deepening every day! Thankfully, respite is only a few days away, my departure from Trivandrum due in barely 3 days! I'm determined not to lead a single one of those days wallowing in self-pity! The time left behind is precious, currency which should never be under-valued. 

The track "Lambi Judaii" from the movie Jannat has grown on me steadily! It's simple vocals, and thoughtful lyrics are a big draw! Songs from the movie "Rock On" are also on my playlist at the moment, not because Farhan Akhtar's vocal skills are anything special, but because of their simplicity and upbeat nature!........I'm hooked, relying on the same fortress of solitude that has kept me safe in trying times!...May the music flow on, just as the juggernaught of life rolls on.......ROCK ON!
