Tunnel Through the Night

I found this in an email sent to a friend in 2009 and definitely have no recollection of writing this. 

Thankfully it wasn’t lost. Like meeting an old familiar face. It's good to catch up

The bus speeds on
Towards a tunnel through the night
with a quartet of mad men
playing in my head

the rush of wind
messes with my hair
races on without care
and i dont have a say

the tunnel approaches
like a serpents mouth
and the quartet of gentlemen
get ready to shout

pulling a fast one over your eyes
like someone pulled over a sheet
singing the stars goodnight

as the bus shoots through the tunnel
darkness reigns far and near
and the quartet of mad men
cover and sing of fear

for inside the tunnel
closing your eyes is like
plunging a dream
into another of its kind

for the time, tranquility is in speed
and the quartet of mad men
sing for their love of weed

and when the bus shoots out
its like a choked neck released
large gulps of fresh air
unshackled from a cipher deed

now the bus rumbles on
aiming for what comes next
and the quartet of mad men
mess with my head, doing their best.

Being Moonlit

Allowed myself to experience this night at Zapurza, an art museum in a village called Kudje next to Pune. Was part of a beautiful full moon night led by Varun of Taal inc and Manisha of Oneek.

Musical 24 hours.. What Magic uff

It all started with hearing a voice note of someone describing the magic of a collaboration between Eddie Veder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ji song, without sharing the name.. Thus began the journey into music, the next 24 hours that I’d never have imagined..(being bedridden and un...

Sally up, Sally down

My memory of this song is inextricably intertwined with the movie“Gone in 60 seconds”. I just recently heard this song during a workout session and it triggered a response strong enough for me to listen to this song for 2 days straight (still playing..) and read its lyrics....
