Hey everyone!

Its good to be back after two months. Albeit, a vacation and yeah I did have a net connexn back home, I chose to relax and savour the love of family. Mouth-watering food, yummy desserts, some charming jokes and relaxing moments. Its good to go on breaks in between. It helps you rejuvenate! Shake off the dust and, in a sense, reborn.

I love the song ‘Time To Pretend’ sung by the band MGMT that many must have heard as the track playing when the movie ‘21′, starring Jim Sturgess and Kevin Spacey, begins.

Watch the song intro in the movie here:

The words mean things most youth feel as their rock n’ roll life begins. I’ll quote a few lines I love:

I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I’ll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I’ll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

But, a few words make your spine tingle too:

–
There’s really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
–

‘Life can always startup anew!’ That is such a uplifting thought. And, since you have only one day at a time, Dude, you are a heck of a lucky guy! Yeah, everyone of you. No need to be morose and mundane about the past. ‘The thrill of getting back’ every morning is more than just a line. Its adrenaline for your ride!

Finally, my favorite artist Laura Pausini. Its because of her that I have started listening to Italian and Spanish songs. And, though, I don’t understand most of them, I search for translations and savour both music and meaning. My favorite Laura Pausini track is ‘Primavera in Anticipo’ (featuring James Blunt) which roughly translates into ‘Spring Come Early’. The video is here:

So, go ahead! Listen to the track that sings of healing and abundance of life. The spring of life is perennial.
