Introvert In A Concert


Page was caught lying in the garden one fine morning. Now, Page was not a waste paper or a paper torn from some book. He was a 14 year old boy named Michael Page. And when I say he was caught lying in the garden, I don’t mean lying as in ‘he was rolling on the grass’. He was on his phone, talking to someone and apparently, lying about something.

“I really am sick. I have a running nose, fever and moreover I am feeling weak. I really can’t make it….. Yes, thanks for understanding.”

He ended the call and turned to go back inside. Only, he found himself staring at his father who had come out of the house while he was on the call.

“Why were you lying about being sick, Michael? And was it Andrea on the phone?”

“Errr. Yes.”

“Okay, but why were you lying about being sick?”

“She called to ask me if I could tag along with a few friends to some concert she bought tickets for.”

“Well, that sounds like a good idea. Common, Michael. It is a weekend, go out with your friends and have some fun.”

“Hehe! Dad, you know me. You know how I feel about going out with friends. I can handle it if it is just 4 or 5 of us. But any group bigger than that, it makes me anxious, nervous and irritable. I don’t enjoy such gatherings. It has also something to do with the shit people talk when they get together. Utter non-sense and unimportant shit!”Read More »

Want To Edit Song Details In Batch? Here!


[Video Tutorial Below]

Okay, all music lovers know how annoying it is to see the song details, of a particular song, all messed up with the ripper’s or uploader’s names or their websites. When you unlock you phone, switch to the music player and want to play a song, say Ka Ching! by Shania Twain, we first go to the albums menu and we don’t find the album there and we go to the artists menu and we don’t find ‘Shania Twain’ there. All we find are sub-folders like ‘www.yourmusic.blah’ or ‘%$^%piraterippers*”  which is utterly annoying. All we want is peace and we could easily get that by quickly playing the song we need.

But we are lazy and often don’t find enough time to edit all the song details of each and every song we hear, and so we carry on with these unedited and annoying details on them. Some phones even don’t provide an option to edit these details. We have to do it on a computer.

Anyway, I’d get to the point,

We need a software that will enable us to edit details of songs in bulk. I mean, by selecting all the songs of a particular artist, we must be able to update that detail to the correct artist name by doing just once, instead of selecting each song and editing it and then saving it. It would really be a painful task to do. But know what, NCH has got a wonderful freeware software to do this. It’s called ID3 Mp3 Tag Editor.

NCH is an awesome company who make loads of freeware stuff which in general are awesome, and this particular software is no different.

So, once you download(around 600kb only!) and install the software, it will just be cake walk from then on.

Here is a video tutorial I made, watch this thing only after trying out the software because I don’t think you would be needing a video tutorial for it, NCH makes softwares THAT easy-to-use. By the way, watch it in HD.

Time’s Whip On Our Backs!


O’ swaying leaves,
thy easing breeze,
will there be any innocence left in the air?

O’ singing swallow,
thy soothing melody,
will there be any peace left, on land?

O’ undulating ganga,
thy liberating waters,
will there be any being left, unexploited underwater?

O’ majestic nature,
thy motherly arms,
will there be a stone left, that was not thrown to hurt others?

O’ me,
thy concerned eyes,
will there be any soul left in them, when all hope and trust is broken?

O’ time,
thy gamble with chance,
will there be a life left, that has not taken your whip on its back?

“Yeh Jo Des Hein Tera” Kept Me Sane, Literally…


Yesterday.
It was an exam day and i was down with severe cold.

I was in the exam hall, halfway through the exam, ache swept my head, my eyes and i was unable to think or write properly.

I somehow finished the exam(not good) and then i sat inside the college bus. It takes nearly an hour on wheels to go back home.

Now, i am 20, a teenager, and i guess people can make out what and how PEOPLE make mess in their college buses.
I am a victim of such ‘teenage’ madness of the people around for almost my entire life. From high school to intermediate education and now into engineering 3rd year, all along.

So then, like my headache was so severe, it was blinding me, ears were paining and eyes felt like as if they were being dragged inside. It was literal hell. And add to that, these ‘talks’ of the mischief-makers, i thought i would go insane before i reach home.

To avoid going insane, i took my phone out and started listening to music through the earphones. I put the order of play as “shuffle” which meant a random choice.

After listening to a few songs, i was sure i was going to go insane because none of them were like soothing the pain, though all the time they were touching my heart, that is why i keep those songs in my phone.

Anyway, then the “shuffle” algorithm played “Yeh Jo Desh Hein tera(Instrumental)” – from Swades movie.
and that was that.

Headache lessened or not i do not know, but the hell that those people around me were showing surely vanished and i was in a dreamy place.

Yeh Jo Des Hein Tera…………… Aah..
The music just cleanses all the pains inside i guess.

A.R.Rehman’s work. i thank him.

I am still SANE.!

Yeh Jo Des Hein Tera..

So here is the instrumental, pure pure melody. i love it.
