Save the Best for Last

There are some songs we just love, don't we? I want to share one of my favourite songs and why I simply love the lyrics... It's written by Vanessa Williams and titled "Save the Best for last"

"Sometimes the snow comes down in june

Sometimes the sun goes round the moon

I see the passion in your eyes

Sometimes its all a big surprise

cause there was a time when all I did was wish

You'd tell me this was love

Its not the way I hoped or how I planned

But somehow its enough"

For me this is Passion personified! Quite literally. On one hand is the Unrequited love that the lady has just not given up on and on the other is her untold need for the same which takes her to such an extent that she's ready to compromise and have it, any way she can! Isn't this a classic woman trait? Just what women do. We love completely and when we love it's forever. No matter what the terms!

"And now we're standing face to face

Isn't this world a crazy place

Just when I thought our chance had passed

You go and save the best for last"

Things happen that we never foresee. Things that make us believe in the glory of love and keeps the mystery alive. Just when she had started believing in her unfulfilling love here he comes "her Knight in Shining Armour"... Yes this world really is a crazy place!

"All of the nights you came to me

When some silly girl had set you free

You wondered how you'd make it through

I wondered what was wrong with you"

Like I said- have him in any terms huh? They are not your terms naturally. 'Coz when you love, you loose the upperhand to the one who's being loved. So I am wondering what's wrong with her!

"cause how could you give your love to someone else

And share your dreams with me

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for

Is the one thing you can't see"

This is my favourite line in the whole song. I think it's completely beautiful and explains my sentiments to the "T". Really... how could he give his love to someone else And share his dreams with you?" I think all women should definitely ask themselves this, the next time they are hoping to be in a relationship with someone whose already in another?

"And now were standing face to face

Isn't this world a crazy place

Just when I thought our chance had passed

You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for

Is the one thing you cant see

Sometimes the snow comes down in june

Sometimes the sun goes round the moon

Just when I thought our chance had passed

You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last!"

Ok I'm sure you guys are wondering if I really love this song? Actually I do. I love anything that inspires me to think. And this song sure does that; and very beautifully.

Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

I recently read this and wanted to share it with you...

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life."

Rock On! Movie review

I had heard raving reviews of the film before I went ahead and watched it... Both positive and negative ofcourse! There simply was nothing in between...
So I was ready to go watch a passionate film that I'll surely love or just hate. I Lurved it! Completely!!!

The story is about a boy band Magik (yea with a "k"). Four college students, who wanna become rock stars and have a boy-band! It's about how they practise, breath and eat music in their younger years and how they grow up in life to become Investment Banker, Jeweller etc...

Most of us have been there or atleast know someone who's been there and done that!!! I for one, could think of some of my friends back from school who pretty much did the very same things.... So naturally it brought back lovely memories and smiles... :)

The acting is good and all of them have done justice to the film. Farhan Akhtar makes an impressive debut as an actor. Though not as explosive as his directorial debut, his foray into acting works just fine. As Magik’s lead vocalist as well as an investment banker, Farhan is impressive. True to his self he pays a lot of attention to his on stage rock musician act, and comes across quite like one. You can actually see his throat nerves stretched when he's singing in the concert!

There are two significant women characters - Sakshi, as Farhan’s wife (Prachi Desai) and Debbie, Arjun’s wife (Shahana Goswami). Along with Farhan Akhtar, there's is the best performance of the movie. Both are shown to be strong characters. It is interesting to see how one woman manages to play the catalyst in the relationship between the four friends even though she is a new entrant into their lives. And the other almost tears them apart even though she is the one who has been with the band ever since they began. Like I said strong women!

Not surprisingly, one can notice traces of the Farhan Akhtar style of filmmaking, especially in the way male bonding, twisted relationships and complex emotions are handled, and attention is paid to detail ensuring nothing remains disconnected. The reunion scenes among the band members as well as Aditya’s meeting with his ex-girlfriend are particularly treated with intense care. Beautiful I say!

The film has been played at a lot of different levels- laughter (Purab's dance comes to mind), emotions (Farhan not knowing how to react when his wife tells him she's preg), Friendship (some gr8 DCH moments in Goa) and the base of the film Rock Music!

Oh and did I say, I lurved the last line of the film- "Don’t Download the Music , Buy it!” Me thinks It was Kewl!!!

A must watch guys... go grab your tickets now!
