"Let It Go"

Blogging they say is like drugs "once u start, u just cannot write enough " ... I am begining to agree to that philosophy .


Its just been couple of weeks since I wrote my first one ... a heart felt outpour of my dark emotions found place in the first one . Reactions I got for that has not been all that pleasant ...starting with my best buddy calling me a crazy lunatic, it varied to various other levels of profinities ..hardly presentable in a public blogging corner :)


Here I am with my second offering , already. This one is a lighter one .

Oh and btw , I had absoultely no need to make this a light one ...why should I ? just coz other people say my previous one was dark ….

Then why am I doing it ?? To find out ..Keep Reading .


They say shit happens !!! why does it happen so many times with me “ ( cliché , I know ).

Truth of the matter is ....Shit has happened to me so many times ... been forced to Stare down the barrel so many times that, I've come to realize something important.

It is
"Shit Happens ....
So Wot's new .....
Who cares mann "

what keeps me going is the knowledge that wotever happens I will always bounce back . NO MATTER WHAT !!

OK, I could continue talking about my deep inner mental strength for a while ,but Readers may find it boring ...Oh and btw I really don't have to give a damn as to how readers feel ?? its my blog and I can write wotever I very well please to .

BUT NO !! with my new found attitude , I do care about ur feelings ??

Wait a sec, Hold on !! where is this post going ?? am I talking about the new adversities of my life or My new attitude or am I just talking plain shit ….


Call it sudden Enlightment ....Call it sudden change of Tide .....U can Say I was stuck by a Lightning on my way home , Wotever :)

But the events of past couple of weeks have made me do some serious rethinking of "How I want My life to be".

I Have realized that core mission in my life is not what i used to think it was ?


The ONLY thing imp to me up until now was the greed for materalistic positions (Car , Crazy villa with a pool ,my dream Jaguar okv3).

OK now don't mistake me here ..I have not stopped dreaming about Money ,Car, Condo ….Yatch etc....Yes, I still yearn to achieve them ,thats what keeps me driving .

But whether I achieve them or not , does not have any influence over my current emotional state.

After a battle with depression and anxiety in life I came to a conclusion

"Dreams are important ..but wot's more important is to be happy and congurent with what u have, right here , right now... at this moment .

Be Happy... Not neccessarily Content ( there is a HUGE difference ,although some purists may disagree )


IF you really want something badly in life . ...You should be prepared to let it go .

Because Nothing is so important that it comes at the cost of ur happiness.


Ask any severely depressed person if there is any material possession that could cheer them up?

Ask them if they would rather have $100 million dollars or to wake up and feel joy again?

Ask Britany Spears if she would rather be famous or sane?


New attitude ..

Bring smile to people’s faces.

Wake up in the morning with a smile in your face .... Go to Sleep with one

Be thankful for what u have in life .

Be HAPPY EVERY FUCKIN MOMENT :)

Make people around you Happy


Let It GO .....

"Voices from Hell "

“Voices From Hell “

Hmmmm…so u are a death metal purist ....pain is what u’ve felt through out
Darkness is what u ensemble ,devil is whom u pray. U r a pissed-off, alienated guy who is purposefully dwelling on the uglier side of life, or else are trying to temporarily escape it by achieving some sort of catharsis.

What voice do u associate more with ……

Growling ….Which lets out the animal venom filled deep inside(which u can relate to ) .
OR
Clean Singing …..seemingly pussy way of letting out ur hatred .Why not ‘ Justin Timberlake’ if u want to hear a wuss sing , right ??

I myself prefer the type of singing which intermixes melodic clean singing
With fearsome death metal growling …..a style popularised by mother
Of all death metal bands OPETH …

Despite cries of protests from thousands of fans all around…Opeth pours
Huge doses of clean singing into their songs . ..
Nnow its upto us fans to perceive it the way we want it to .

Is clean singing an irritating addon to ur fine master piece ....or is it that, one fails to fathom the relevance of the piece or worst still , ‘understand the song’ .


To illustrate what I mean ….. I have chosen the song ‘Bleak’ by Opeth as my thesis .

I will try to explain my reason as to why Opeth combines both the forms of Vocal in this song .

I will try and project the meaning of this song ( as I see it ) along the way …..

Do Clean voice telecast the same message as growling do ?

My endeavour is to prove whether clean singing is justifiable for such a master black metal band .


Alrite ….Here is how I see it …..

What goes on this song is a two way conversation
Between a troubled , languished human and the DEVIL


Devil is frustrated as the daylight is fast approaching and
He is still not able to lure his prey ….and he is frustrated with
This futile attempt .Frustrated as he may be Mr .Devil also feels the
rush of task at hand and wants to go for the Kill …

Lines …..
Deep Growling voice ..signifies devils’s dark intentions .

“BeatingHeart still beating for the cause
FeedingSoul still feeding from the loss
AchingLimbs are aching from the rush
FadingYou are fading from my sight

Break of morning, coldness lingers on
Shroud me into nightmares of the sun

MovingI am moving closer to your side
LuringYou are luring me into the night
CryingWho is crying for you here
DyingI am dying fast inside your tears

Plunging towards bereavement faster yet
Clearing thoughts, my mind is set”





“exemplified by the stances like who is crying for u here …”



“Prey is singing ……” he is scared
suspicious about the movements of devil .

clean singing …..

Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through meYou're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chestAnd drains me away

Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a lineCold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine

“ Devil changes his tone “ to attract his prey further (he is actually talking to the prey)
clean singing is apt for devils voice disguise

Help me cure you
Atone for all you've done
Help me leave you
As all the days are gone

“Doesn’t work …prey is still scared “Music builds the tension further …..excitement .
prey repeating his lines .

Guitaring at this stage is simply mindblowing ..over the fucking roof

”Devious movements in your eyesMoved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through meYou're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chestAnd drains me away

Mist ripples round your thin white neckAnd draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreckThis moment is mine
Night falls again Taking what's left of me”


calmness before the storm


“DEVIL reveals his true voracious self to the human “

GROWLING at its best…………………

Slight twist, shivering corpse
Ornated with water, fills the cracks
Clasped in my limbs by tradition
This is all you need

…………………conquers his prey .

"I don't see the point of playing in a band and going just one way when you can do everything. It would be impossible for us to play just death metal; that is our roots, but we are now a mishmash of everything, and not purists to any form of music. It's impossible for us to do that, and quite frankly I would think of it as boring to be in a band that plays just metal music. We're not afraid to experiment, or to be caught with our pants down, so to speak. That's what keeps us going
