My favourite BGM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyr8jpX2S74


It is the title track of the Film "october sky".

I simply love the movie. It is the story of a boy overcoming the odds to become an rocket engineer.

The track evokes a kind of call towards standing up for something through all the troubles we face in life. Above all when i listen to it i think we should HOPE everything is going to all right....

Wise words

it’s not what we eat
but what we digest
that makes us strong;
not what we gain
but what we save
that makes us rich;
not what we read
but what we remember
that makes us learned;
and not what we profess
but what we practice
that gives us integrity.

We love rain


We do love rain.

Rain is like a refresh button. It makes the things it touches look new. Life nourishes. The world turns green. The rivers fill up. The waves in the oceans climb higher.

It is strange, we noticed that the rain at different places we have been is really different from each other.

we remember our school days where we used to start our academic year with the monsoons. we used to think as a Kid why the sky is leaking like this, whether the people above forgot to close the tap etc etc. we were crazy those days.

We moved on to new places and ended up in a desert for a short while. It was a jungle of concrete buildings.
there the rain was a harbinger of season changes. Once it rained to bring in the winter and another time to bring in the Summer.

Then another place which is an island. It was a jungle once. but now you get confused at times whether it is a jungle or a modern city. In here it rains everyday. Rain falls every evening followed by humid mornings.

Rain is a cycle. The never ending water cycle which we learned in our school books. but It is more than that.
I think rain itself is a very romantic idea itself.

I wanted to write something else but i ended up writing this....  :)
