I took this quiz bout which Led Zep song best defines me... havent ever heard any except ofcourse 'stairway to heaven' but the quiz said tht the song 'Tangerine' suited me the best... well... here's my description according to the quiz makers... n the Lyrics of Tangerine... i haven't yet heard it... but i'm just going to... the lyrics seem really nice..
Measuring a summer's day
I only finds it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain.
*Tangerine Tangerine
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love she was my queen
And now a thousand years between.
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.
*chorus
My quiz results:
You are a beautiful person, in a wistful kind of way. If you could, you would spend all your time daydreaming and writing poetry. You are a tragic beauty.You are sensitive and caring, and you don't take insults well. You don't smile much, but when you do, you really mean it.People like to be around you because you are a calming influence. You have an appreciation for all things beautiful, and you probably have some potted plants. You also most likely own a cat.You like Sundays and hot tea. You will spend your entire life yearning for quiet beauty, which is a rarity in this world, so you read a lot.Everyone you know thinks you're "nice."

Mir Taqi Mir
I recently read Khushwant singh's 'Delhi'.. about various aspects of delhi's History.. though the style of writing wasn't something that impressed me.. the poetry of Mir Taqi Mir that forms part of the story did... here's a few couplets..
Dream like this show if we come to think
All those who sit and chat will vanish in a wink
no use opening your eyes, open too your ears
this merry meet will disappear with a flap of wing.
kuch khwab si hai mir, yeh suhbat daari,
uth jaenge ye baithe hue yak baari,
kya ankhon ko khola hai tanik gosh ko khol,
afsaana hai par maarte majlis saari.
The fair in face are loved by all
All the world is beauty's thrall!
Khoobroo sab ki jaan hotein hain,
Arjoo-e-jahan hote hain.
I tried my very best to keep my love concealed,
but a sudden slip of tongue did my heart reveal.
Har chand main ne shauq ko pinhaan kiya, wale
Ek aadh harf pyar ka munh se nikal gaya..
Rely not on her generous ways,
the world, O Mir, our trust betrays.
Iltefaat-e-zamana par mat jaa,
Mir deta hai rozgaar fareb..

and the best of the lot....
Ibtadaae ishq hai rota hai kya,Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.
Qafile mein subah ke ek shor hai,Yaani ghaafil ham chale sota hai kya.
Sabz hoti hi nahin yeh sar zamin,Tukhm-e-khwahish dil mein tu bota hai kya.
Yeh nishaan-e-ishq hain jaate nahin,Daagh chhaati ke abas dhota hai kya.
Ghairat-e-Yousaf hai yeh waqt-e-aziz, Mir isko raigaan khota hai kya.

now this again is a weird song... is he really TRYING to justify cheating? or is he just trying to say that he cant get over his 1st love n still is trying to do it..
Hinder- Lips of an Angel
Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why you calling me so late?
well..... since i've been dedicating songs to ppl for the past 3 posts..
this is for my friends..(why do i feel like an RJ reading out requests??)

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,or even your year
but..I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
You're still in bed at ten
And work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far... things are goin' great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that...
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,or even your year...
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
I'll be there for youI'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
well... its a fun show... n i've always wanted a life that carefree.. n i have friends who've stuck by me through everything..
to someone who was there...
its been really cold n i had a severe attack of the blues a coupla days ago... n what the radio starts playing was this song..
dedicated to someone who was there for me when even i didnt know how weak i was .. n to ppl who heard me sing it..
dedicated to someone who was there for me when even i didnt know how weak i was .. n to ppl who heard me sing it..
"I'm With You"
I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here
by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
Take me by the hand Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
this is for you my angel....
a song we both love..
ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS
"Head Over Feet"
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you
for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you
for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
a song that really captures why i can't ever explain why i fell for u..
