Past Present Future...........

I have started with this blog after reading a couple of blog entries by someone i found over the net. It was a mighty pleasurable read with really good insights and beautiful nostalgic moments. The author of the blogs talked about missing something and about the childhood memory of hers. Most of what she wrote about made sense to me. Something like 'It isnt the old days that we miss.....but the absence of those people in our present that we miss.' made utter sense to me in the most simplistic way. It also made me think about my own childhood. Even yesterday, My best friend and me were talking more about the same topic. About our school days.. our friends.... our crushes... the way we used to go to the local fair.....how we tavelled to and fro from school. Its more like the 'Summer of 69' song (which i would also add that every Tom Dick Harry Shankar Ramesh & probably every rock wannabe has sung/ tried to sing & butchered the whole song to death......now the whole song is a stereotype in itself...) I still remember the day i started cycling..... the days i spent playin out in the sun after school...getting drenched in the rains.....the scolding my mum used to give me ......my old B/W tv that had 8 channels in it of which we had only 2...... the old tv serials (Hum Log, Buniyaad, Giant robot, Fireball XL5....... anyone?)..... my old telephone with the turn dials...... the old VCRs..... the casettes that we used to watch (Kindergarten Cop was a super duper hit thn n there was nothing more scarier than Evil Dead)....... The class picnics...... the family picnics......Vacations with cousins......Lots more there....
It also makes me appreciate the present that im living.... the kind of music that i listen to..... the friends that counsel me at work and at home....I cant crib about such stuff anymore.....my friends are the ones that make the present seem worthwhile..... so as I cherish the moment that i live in I appreciate the people around me and the stuff that makes me who I really am ever hoping that it continues into the future as in the past through the present...... Since I am in such a nostalgic mood, I leave you guys with the lyrics of a song that I have heard in my own childhood (sounded cool then ............sounds cool even now)...........more on this topic later (when all that I wrote just now become a part of my indelible past)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Big wheels keep on turning

Carry me home to see my kin

Singing songs about the Southland

I miss Alabamy once again And I think its a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her

Well, I heard ole Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama

Where the skies are so blue

Sweet Home Alabama

Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor

Now we all did what we could do

Now Watergate does not bother me

Does your conscience bother you?

Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama

Where the skies are so blue

Sweet Home Alabama

Lord, I'm coming home to you

Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers

And they've been known to pick a song or two

Lord they get me off so much

They pick me up when I'm feeling blue

Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama

Where the skies are so blue

Sweet Home Alabama

Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama

Oh sweet home baby

Where the skies are so blue

And the governor's true

Sweet Home Alabama

Lordy Lord, I'm coming home to you
