Another conspiracy theory

One of the most romantic hindi songs was probably actually written and sung to shut up wife/gf "kuch na kaho, kuch bhi na kaho..." :D

Time by Pink Floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day 
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Very interesting political song

One of the most interesting songs ever: A new genre, called propaganda song.

The song is so hip and modern and about the man who got the sexiest man alive title in Russia: Putin

My boyfriend is in trouble once again
Got in a fight, got drunk on something nasty
I've had enough and I chased him away
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!

I've seen him on the news last night
He was telling us that the world has come to crossroads
With one like him, it's easy to be home and out
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!

Ring a bell?

I watched a couple of uninterrupted hindi songs on late night tv after a year or so. Each song I heard took me to a certain past of my life. One of them sure did remind me of the poolside at AIM where this song was particularly popular and the other one reminded me a friend with whom I am not in touch now.  Well, the memories of the times I lived in is tied to the songs I used to hear or see.

Everybody hurts

Everybody hurts - R.E.M
A soul stirring song when you are down...
The video is more awesome than just the great lyrics.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,

When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)

If you feel like letting go, (hold on)

When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand

If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,

When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,

Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts. You are not alone...

Push the limits

"Push The Limits" by Enigma 
Basic instincts, social life 
Paradoxes side by side 
Don't submit to stupid rules 
Be yourself and not a fool 
Don't accept average habits 
Open your heart and push the limits 
Open your heart [echoes] And push the limits [echoes]

Economics of love

Girl Your Marginal Benefits... (Featuring Julia Zhang)

Now girl being with you has always been so tough (so tough)

With each passing minute your marginal cost goes up

But my love is inelastic and it all belongs to you (who me?)

I'm the only love producer and my good is for you to consume

Cause girl your marginal benefits far outweigh your marginal costs

Without our equilibrium baby well you know I'd be lost

Trapped inside this market I need you to buy my love

Girl without your complementing goods well I'm just not enough

Now you say that I'm producing below my ATC (so low)

But I'm optimizing quantity baby, why can't you see?

We could share this surplus each and every day If you would just buy my love I'd make my fixed costs go away

Baby I want to keep you for the long run (Oh yeah) (mmmm)

I think our supply and demand will become one

Cause girl your marginal benefits far outweigh your marginal costs

Without our equilibrium baby well you know I'd be lost Long run equilibrium is no place for me

I need the profits of our love to grow exponentially

Ghita

Ghita lyrics
The coat is inside out,
There is no sun above
Nothing is going good
Since I think of Ghita.
But Ghita's not in town I asked why he's not around
It seems to me he's gone
He's gone abroad Hard,
I think it's very hard Want,
I don't know what I want
I know that you like me too Ghita,
what is up with you?
Young, come on in or go
Young, tell me yes or no Ghita,
please dont´t anger me
Tell me how your life will be Ghita,
Tonight I'm waiting at the wicket
Me at the station I bought a ticket
Come to,
But don't come as you did before
As usually with empty hands...
Who else
Will wait and sing for you as I do
Entire evening just getting there
Ghita, Show me a girl who's found of you
That loves you more as much as I do...
Ghita, te-astept diseara la portita
Langa portita de la scoala
Vino da numa nu vini cum vii tu
De obicei cu mana goala
Cine te mai asteapta ca si mine
O seara intreaga numai pe tine.
Ghita, arata-mi tu o fata care Sa te iubeasca asa de tare!.

The sub prime crisis song

Who knew economists can write such good songs? :)

Song dedication

Well, this song is dedicated to one of my dearest and closest friends of mine :P "With Love" by Hilary Duff. 

"I don't mind you telling me 

What's been on your mind lately 

I don't mind you speaking up

I know sometimes I can be 

All wrapped up and into me 

I can be in such a rush 

Just slow me down 

Slow me down 

Tell me tomorrow everything will be around 

Just slow me down 

Slow me down 

You're the one that keeps me on the ground 

 Baby you can be tough 

Say enough is enough 

You can even be blunt 

Just do it with love love love love 

Tell me I'm wrong 

That I'm coming on way too strong 

Don't think I'll be crushed 

Just do it with love love love love 

Just do it with love love love love 

Just do it with love I can take your honesty 

All your words weigh heavily 

Listening to you all the time I want to be there for you 

The way you've been there for me 

Always help me walk the line 

 And slow me down 

Slow me down I know you will always be around

Baby you can be tough 

Say enough is enough 

You can even be blunt 

Just do it with love love love love 

Tell me I'm wrong 

That I'm coming on way too strong 

Don't think I'll be crushed 

Just do it with love love love love 

All this time we thought we knew each other 

Now that I am leaning on your shoulder

I can tell you baby that 

You're right when you're right and 

You're wrong when you're wrong and

I can be weak 'cause I know you are strong

Baby you can be tough 

Say enough is enough 

You can even be blunt 

Just do it with love love love love 

Tell me I'm wrong 

That I'm coming on way too strong 

Don't think I'll be crushed 

Just do it with love love love love 

Just do it with love love love love 

Just do it with love 

 Just do it with love love love love 

Just do it with love"

Quarter life crisis

To all those going through the quarter life crisis and whose feelings are as described below: What's up by 4 Non blondes: 

Twenty - five years and my life is still 

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope 

For a destination 

And I realized quickly when I knew I should 

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man 

For whatever that means 

And so I cry sometimes 

When I'm lying in bed 

Just to get it all out 

What's in my head 

And I am feeling a little peculiar 

And so I wake in the morning 

And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream at the top of my lungs 

What's going on? 

And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? 

Ooh, ooh ooh

And I try, 

oh my god do I try I try all the time, in this institution 

And I pray, oh my god do I pray I pray every single day 

For a revolution 

And so I cry sometimes 

When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out 

What's in my head 

And I am feeling a little peculiar 

And so I wake in the morning 

And I step outside 

And I take a deep breath and I get real high 

And I scream at the top of my lungs 

What's going on? 

And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? 

Twenty - five years and my life is still 

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope 

For a destination. 

Hope things become more clearer and brighter for you.

Lessons from MBA

So what does MBA teach that is related to real life? Apart from the various accountings of financial and managerial and all the other MBA subjects, the one thing I think MBA teaches you is "giving up". Yes, giving up what you like, giving up what you love, giving up almost everything that means dearly to you. This will be forced upon on you in a way that you will be slow and very painful to accept. Slowly and steadily, one realises this as a way of life. People say it is about living your dreams, achieving your dreams and doing what you really want to do. Maybe in the long term, but in the short term, during the course one very vital lesson it teaches you is to accept failure and just walk on. First we are forced to sacrifice the time and distance with family, friends and the cosy, comfortable environment we were used to. Then goes the sleep. Then we give up some of those hobbies and things that used to enliven you during your normal before MBA days. Then once you are here, you are even forced to give on the very subjects you once loved to do so much. 
Song: Giving you up by Kylie Minogue 
"Deep in a perfect moment 
All it once it feels so right 
But when I wake I see reality turn back and bite. 
Your heartbeat's ticking 
And your cool starts dripping 
And you're tongue tied up on the phone 
Your backbone's breaking 
And your smooth starts shaking 
Like you can't stand being alone 
Your calm starts rocking 
Little doubts are knocking 
Like the whole world's slipping away 
Attention's killing 
But the ride is thrilling 
And you can't help going again 
What you want is what you don't know 
Turn me on and watch your ego 
What you want is what you don't need 
I can't start giving you up 
I'm lost without you 
Can't stop tickin the tock 
I can't start giving you up 
I'm mad about you 
Can't stop slipping it off"
