As I sit here writing in the dark...I wonder about the people who left their mark..on me as well as my thoughts...their presence made life beautiful and sometimes brought distraught.........

People have been nice..some haven't been right...but lucky I am to have found such buddies...who have made me a hell lot steady.

So I thank all from the bottom of my heart...a hug from me as a reward ...for you all have been stars...that have shone in my life much brighter than venus and mars 



A short poem I wrote off the top of my head on facebook a while back..for my friends..


What Makes Me Happy

Posted by Joy On 2:15 AM 0 comments

Well all I've been writing down has been your usual depressing stuff eh..nor that it matters really does it?..Maybe someday it will..Till then I'll keep writing shit down..why? don't know why..anyways I was talking about the depressing stuff. For a change I thought I might write something about being happy and stuff like that..They say change is a must..So let's try.

So let me write down the things that make me happy..Well sometimes lots of things and sometimes nothing at all..Happens to all of us doesn't it..Enough! Let's start..
    PEOPLE AROUND ME - I have such wonderful people around me be it my parents, family  members,      friends, online friends.. I mean its quite amazing the support you get from them or guess I'm one of the lucky  ones..talking, chatting to them and just that you know that they're there for you makes me happy..
    MUSIC - Just knowing that I have something to fall back upon when things don't go my way or when I'm down in the dumps..Music's always been there..Doesn't matter what the situation is..what the circumstances are..just blast those speakers or headphones with your favorite music and its all gonna be okay :)

    BEING NICE - Being nice and helping others just makes me feel good..

    THE TIME FACTOR - I know I have lots of free time. Well it can work out either ways as in it can be a bad thing but  I do have all the time in the world to do stuff I like..

    DOING THE STUFF I LIKE - Watching movies, playing games, buying new stuff(computer or music related stuff), roaming around with friends or family and just being around people I like makes me happy..

    THE LUCK FACTOR - Well I've been really lucky in life to have really almost everything I need..


    If I write more it'll become more of an essay so I'll leave it at that for now..If you do manage to read the post kindly comment the things that make you happy..thanks!

    Second poem

                      A fire burns deep inside your heart
                      The smoke from the ashes rises far
                      You are made to live in this fake reality
                      When everybody else rejoices, you were meant to fall

                      This emptiness, this hatred inside you
                      Brings out the devil inside
                      Do you really wanna be someone else
                      Or are you content with being the failure again

                     Life goes on, you move ahead
                     You see light shining in your head
                     Is this gonna last forever
                     Or will 'You' again mess up your future

                     Time and time again, you tell yourself
                     That its all in your head
                     What if its not, huh?
                     What if, inside, you're the one whose dead..   

    First Poem

    Howdy!
    I thought I'll do something worthwhile and post something new. Its been a long time..I'll start by writing down   a poem  I wrote in college once..Nothing special just a simple poem i thought I'd share..Just writing it down here so that at least I remember that it was written by me and so that there is something to post..

    Here it goes..
                        There is a ray of light
                         A glimpse of hope
                         Will you be able to pounce on it
                         Or will hatred again fill your soul

                         You try to gather strength
                         A brief moment of revenge
                         Against an evil spirit
                         That resides within yourself

                         A mountain begins to rise
                         But its all in your mind
                         Then you start to think
                         That you make your own life

                         A new day begins
                         Happiness still eludes you
                         You decide this is it
                         You'll start afresh and new

                     
                        Suddenly the world is so beautiful
                        Years have passed, you've finally found a place
                        A place where everyone's happy
                        A place where you feel safe

                       You're roaming around happily
                       Gratified to the core
                       You decide to find the reason
                       Why finally, is there hope?

                      You can't find a reason
                      Anger makes you red
                      You decide to give up when
                      Suddenly you realize that now infact you're dead


    Well this poem does mean something..I'll leave the explanation for some other time..Catch ya later.

    So I've not been blogging much. Nothing to blog about really. Just wanted to start..again..
    These days I'm on the lookout for a new amp and a pair of speakers..Old Sony ones broke down and all I have now is my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones.. Brilliant pair of headphones I must say. They've been great so far but now I need some new speakers.. Don't have a big budget so been looking at a cheap Topping Tripath amp and matching speakers. Let's see when I'll finally get them..

    So lets start with a new topic (Hallowed be thy name playing right now on my headphones)
    Oh that reminds me.. A few days back I heard a cover of that Iron Maiden masterpiece by a Band from Nepal - Antim Grahan - a black metal band and I loved it. Cradle of filth's cover is quite famous and is pretty good. Iced Earth did a cover as well and..well I didn't like it..I guess Machinehead also did a cover.





    Radiohead - Creep.. Brilliant song eh?.. Shifting to rock for a while. Listened to it after such a long time. Had almost forgotten about this song. Well, here it goes again.. But I'm a creep.. I'm a weirdo.. What the hell am I doing here.. I don't belong here......ah weren't the 90s great.







    Now, from a sad song to something hopeful eh?..Just wanted to say that if you've not seen the movie - The Shawshank Redemption you're missing out on something very special.. It's about hope and why it should never die. Atleast for me. Interpret it in any way but it really is a must watch.



    Oh I was to start a new topic..Well lets leave that for some other time..See ya later.




    Well, i'm back. Nor that it matters anyways huh?
    No comments or anything. Well doesn't matter..I'll keep this shit going :).

    Today I'll be posting another depressing list.(Get the tissues out).
    I love to see all kinds of movies depending on my mood and what better to post than a list of the most depressing movies. Some I've seen and some I've not. But I've read enough about the movies that I've not seen to be posting here..I'll try to post the movies that are depressing throughout rather than just a sad ending..Oh another thing..Most of the movies would be recent ones because I don't really like "really" old movies..Plus there won't be any spoilers.So here you go..My list of the most depressing movies..again in no particular order..

    Requiem for a dream (2000)
    How can a depressing movie list be complete without including this movie..If you're on drugs or something then please don't watch this movie. This movie will make you sick.
    This movie is about the effect of drugs on four different people and how it ruins their lives..If you don't like depressing movies move on..This one is not for you..

    Dancer in the dark (2000)
    The movie plot says that an east European girl goes to America with her young son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood film. Well it certainly isn't and i'm sure you'll agree after you watch this movie. A brilliant performance by the lead actress 'Björk'. According to wikipedia It was reported that the shoot was so physically and emotionally tiring that she swore off acting ever again.

    Grave of the fireflies(1988)
    So you though animation movies were for kids eh? Try watching this one. Grave of the fireflies is a japanese movie about  a young boy and his little sister's struggle to survive in Japan during World War II and what a struggle it is. Watch it to believe it.

    The Mist(2007)
    Many horror movies are kind of depressing (they certainly are if you ask me) but this one's a bit special. This movie is scary and creepy. Its about fighting for your survival. Imagine this..Blood thirsty creatures unleashed on you and you fighting for your life. Interesting eh?. Oh and the ending is dark and sad which is always good isn't it? Don't miss this one..

    Lilja 4-ever(2002)
    You get a chance to start a new life and you think it'll all be better and okay but does it always go this way? Not in this movie. Its about a young girl fantasizing about a better life. She thinks she finally gets gets a chance for a better life but does she? Watch it to find out..

    Leaving Las Vegas(1995)
    Drinking, prostitute, death..It might remind you of some cheesy flick but this movie's not. Nicholas Cage is an alcoholic who has lost everything due to his drinking and he comes to Vegas to drink himself to death. Here he meets and forms a friendship with a prostitute.

    Angela's Ashes(1999)
    Another movie about poverty and a family trying to make ends meet. The movie is based on an autobiography and is depressing to say the least.

    21 grams(2003)
    21 grams is a drama  film of how an accident brings together three different people and how much it affects their lives. Sean Penn and Naomi Watts both give great performances in this must watch tragic movie.

    Million Dollar Baby(2004)
    Everyone's heard of this movie which won four Oscars. Nothing more to say. Its about a woman trying to establish herself as a boxer. And does she succeed? Errrr watch it!

    The Road(2009)
    Another survival tale. This time its about a man and his son trying to survive by all means possible..  

    The descent(2005)
    Another horror movie in the list. This movie is about a cave expedition gone wrong. What happens inside the cave..well I know it.its for you to find out!
