In recent weeks I’ve been tempted to start blogging again, given my endless supply of free time and movies to watch, I thought I’d add to the movie reviews section of my blog.
But this time round,I’m going to ask you guys to recommend the movies you want me to watch and review.
So here’s to this new idea…
Lets see how it goes
The Man And The Spider : A Poem July 13, 2009

This poem is about mortality and how life comes and goes :
A man asked a spider
How does it feel to kill?
Is it hard to really do it,
How exciting is the thrill?
Well, said the spider
I’m afraid that doesn’t apply
In my case, it’s simple really
Its either do or die.
The man laughed and said
Isn’t that a little sad?
A poor little fly dies,
and he’s not even the best you’ve had.
So what, the spider retorted
at least I don’t kill for love
Thats sadder than what I do,
and its nothing to be proud of.
But, replied the man
We don’t eat our own
We show some respect atleast,
We don’t chew ourselves to the bone.
The spider laughed and said
Its all a bit funny.
If we had your intelligence
We wouldn’t kill for money.
Aha, but there you’re wrong
the man was quick to reply
money helps you do many things
and its something for which you can die.
Alas, said the spider
There are easier ways to earn
Men are just too lazy
So killing becomes a concern
That’s easy for you to say
The man was quick to retort
you can’t do anything in life
you will easily be forgot.
The spider smiled and jumped up
He stung the man and said
Well you’re wrong there my friend
In a minute you’ll be dead.
The man, now shocked, hit out
And the spider fell to the ground
The man groaned his last
And there was no more sound.
Isn’t it easy to take a life
But very hard to replace it
I guess we will never learn
From the story of the man and the spider
When you look in the mirror : A poem July 13, 2009

When you look in the mirror,
do you like what you see?
When someone calls your name,
is that who you want to be?
You may find it a wierd thing
to write or think about
But seriously now, I ask
is it beyond reasonable doubt?
Do you ever catch yourself thinking
This is not who I want to be
Why am I feeling out of place
Do I need some clarity?
When you are angry at the world
Are you angry at yourself?
Or has fate just conspired
to make your life living hell.
Is it fair to blame someone
For your own stupid mistakes
Ask yourself this my friend
Before you step on the brakes
Whatever it is you feel
When you close your eyes to sleep
Is the truth hidden inside you
And it’s hidden pretty deep
So before you blame the world
For bad luck or being unfair
Look inside for answers
You’ll find your answers there

Sky Blue Sky
Album : Sky Blue Sky
Band : Wilco
Genre : Alternative/Folk Rock
Wilco is an American band with a very wide ranging sound. Their latest offering, Sky Blue Sky, offers a much simpler sound than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which was full of experimental sounds.
Sky Blue Sky is a delightful album to listen to. Its the kind of music that’s made for a saturday evening when you just want to relax. It has a good mix of acoustic and electric tracks and the electric tracks are not very loud, very Phish-like.
Tracks like Impossible Germany, with twin guitars and What Light, with Bob Dyanesque guitars and harmony make this one of the best Modern Folk Rock albums produced.
If you have never heard of Wilco before, this album is a very good starting point as it isn’t hard on your ears. It gives you a fair idea of what Modern Folk Rock sounds like too.
Listen To It: If you like Bands like Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper, John Mayer and Coldplay’s first two albums.
Don’t Listen To It: If you want something to headbang to or dance to.
Key Tracks : Impossible Germany, What Light, Side With The Seeds
UPDATE : Wilco is out with a new album called Wilco!
Eternal sunshine of the spotless behind
