Ever wondered how some songs and their lyrics sound so true to oneself?
I recently became hooked on to this particular English number by an indian band...which i had heard when i was probably just a kid.
It reminds me of early memories....how i used to stay glued to da TV when it ws being played...along wid my Bhai.
The video was a masterpiece...and the song itself is one too!
Gone are the days!

Trapped - Indus creed


trapped in my body

trapped in my soul
trapped in my body
and I think i'm getting old

trapped in a dream and you can't even scream
'cos there's no one ever here
strapped to your seat
and you can't find your feet
will this nightmare never stop

all alone, strange city
hot crowded afternoon
i've been stranded in the darkness
I can't see, there's no moon

trapped in my body
trapped in my soul

chased in a dream by a freshly rested team
of black horses drawing a hearse
crossing swords on the bridge of rewards
there's no winner or fat purse
all alone, strange city
hot crowded afternoon
i've been stranded in the darkness
I can't see, there's no moon
trapped in my body,
trapped in my soul
trapped in my body,
trapped in my soul
trapped in my body
and I think i'm getting old
in my body is my soul

Sikh kids and their ways!

Have you ever spent some considerable time with kids?
Well ,being a teacher i get to do it almost everyday.
It can be heaven and hell at the same time...if u trust me n my words.

This new kid keeps coming to me n telling me repeatedly..ma'am ure sweet! :)
My response is usually like..Okay...thnx =O
Once i asked him...beta...y do u keep repeating that?
Now DAT ws da doomsday question for me..cos its answer left me speechless....
Pat comes the reply"...y......arent YOU sweet?":

During my first year of teaching...incidentally i didnt have any sikh kids in my class n i used to whine to other teachers about that and now
BY GOD'S GRACE I get atleast 1 every year...this year i hv been blessed from above....i.e. TWO sardar kids in the same class!=O
GOSH sikh kids r SOMETHING if you know what i mean!
*evil grin*
This 1 of them told me once how his father used 2 beat him black n blue wid his belt=S
I was appalled n when i mentioned this in the PTA meeting to his Dad...poor fellow was so embarassed because he was probably one of those sweetest dads around who wouldnt hit his kids.
The bewildered mom came to the rescue n said...Ma'am=O he has this habit of lying! :))

Another 1 came up to me to say...Ma'am mere godde wich dard ho riya see!=O (ma'am i have pain in my knee)
i didnt know whether 2 empathize or laugh out loud!=))

I guess enough of kiddie tales for today...as arnie said....
I'LL BE BACK!!!!! =O=P

hopefully yeah!
