Its been almost a month. A month of silence, a month of waking up dead in the middle of the nights with a sudden strange current showcasing harsher realities, a month of unhealthy words, unhealthy physical traits, unhealthy monetary realties sinking hopes with each passing day, well each passing moment. Thinking most times with that prism. trying to let go of the only thing i have some hope to look forward to. Why would a man kill the ONLY thing that he loves. The only thing that can kill all the bitterness or perhaps i am running ahead of myself?
Its been one month but ive almost lived moments.
Red should now be blue perhaps. may be even black.
I am not at ease with myself.
One month,heh

Red

Can a sidey movie have an impossibly good song? I was surfing Tv channels one afternoon or late evening i think and i came across this movie which was about to end and was playing this song in its closing titles. My first impression was skeptical, ya sufi tunes are just fad and so its just monkey see, monkey do but then i watched the full thing which was about 2 minutes long and it wasnt what i was thinking. It had some soul and so i thought whats this laal, laal thing about? Surely it cant be the movie, or is it? I didnt even know which movie it was. So then last night since i had noone and i really wanted to talk so i though i could search that song? But how do you search a song? I didnt know who the singer was, what movie it was and it wasnt a routine famous song. Anyways i thought it must be from some sidey movie like Red or something like that but i checked it and it wasnt in its list. Hmm so then i had to do some research. Finally i found the song. it was surely a misfit in the movie but its got no association with the movie anyway. Although the song has 3 versions but i think this song could have been bettered. Now i am no musician but something in me tells me, its not reached its potential somehow.
Ok so red? Red is considered to be a very energetic, vibrant color which symbolises passion and heat yeah? Passion is the word i think. Thats what red has to do with the song. Red is not one of my favoured colors but i am now thinking about it after i realised life can simply change in a second. From having dreams and desires, it can change into silence and no plans and schemes.

You Are Crimson Red



Down to earth and warm-hearted, you instantly make everyone feel at ease around you.

And while you have an understated passion - you lack the uncontrolled passion of most other reds.

You prefer to sit back and enjoy every situation life has to offer. You put an optimistic spin on everything.

And even when things are going well, you don't get too amped up. You prefer to keep your emotions as steady as possible.
