Sucked. Woke up early. The centre was way too far. I thought so. But it was just a 30 min ride in </span><a href="http://www.shunya.net/Pictures/NorthIndia/Ayodhya/Tempo.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">this.</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">(not the same, it was green and without the jingle bell school thingy). To reach the centre, I had to change two autos. So the whole route was like A to B to C. C being the centre. I reached the centre at around 9:30. Exam commenced at 10. Ended at around 12:30. I would've reached home at around 1. But I didn't. Reached at around 3.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">For 2hours and 30minutes, I was going from C to B to A to B to C. For some unknown reason, I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to go to a friend's place, I just wanted to stay in the auto and stare out of the window. It felt empty. It felt safe. It didn't feel good at all. Felt bad? Not really. Depressing? Sort of. But it felt safe. The feeling of being in solitude even when everyone is around, one of a kind feeling. Most of the time, the auto was jampacked. Women, men, kids. All of em. But I was just so oblivious to everything and everyone. I was lost in my own world. I could only hear my thoughts and questions, thats it.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">"Where do we go when we die?"</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">"What is afterlife like?"</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">"What if I stick my head out of this window for a while?"</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">"What if I jump out of this auto?

For the first time, I truly felt what is it like to lead a life without any purpose. And it felt strange. Mystical actually. I've always wondered about death. It intrigues me. And yesterday, somehow, I felt like I was real real close to it. All this time, I felt my life had no purpose, I had no one to think about, no one to go to, no one to care for, nowhere to go. Why was I alive? I could hear a whisper at the back of my mind, "Go, discover afterlife." It was strange. It was empty. Void. But it felt safe. I dont know why, but it did. I didnt want to go home or anywhere else. In solitude I found "home". A safe haven.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Supressed screams.<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Silent claustrophobia.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Look me in the eyes.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">I'm your end.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><br /></span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">“Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god”</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "> - Francis Bacon, Sr. </span></span></div></div></div></span>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-90793787988154813722009-01-18T14:13:00.001+05:302009-01-18T14:19:13.782+05:30Scarlet Regrets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SXLs8BaOxoI/AAAAAAAAAGU/2RjT0DJJyoQ/s1600-h/Clipboard01bow2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SXLs8BaOxoI/AAAAAAAAAGU/2RjT0DJJyoQ/s400/Clipboard01bow2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292553028028515970" /></a>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-47199592362292684672009-01-17T14:44:00.002+05:302009-01-17T14:47:20.412+05:30Silent Tide...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SXGiAA5T7II/AAAAAAAAAGM/Z1oZSXN4i1I/s1600-h/1z.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SXGiAA5T7II/AAAAAAAAAGM/Z1oZSXN4i1I/s400/1z.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292189158261124226" /></a>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-45930781539648249532009-01-06T12:44:00.003+05:302009-01-06T14:41:54.449+05:30Expectation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SWMgRDM3JnI/AAAAAAAAAF0/jbFr1Ll_hYY/s1600-h/Expect+copy1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QPJz2lk22g/SWMgRDM3JnI/AAAAAAAAAF0/jbFr1Ll_hYY/s400/Expect+copy1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288105864752211570" /></a>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-90351607883432616972008-09-27T18:27:00.012+05:302008-09-27T20:01:29.028+05:30Kamelot - Epica<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.kamelot.com/">Kamelot</a> is a progressive/symphonic power metal band from Tampa, Florida. So far they have released 8 studio albums, 1 re-issue, 2 live albums, and one live dvd. The vocal force behind Kamelot, Roy Khan, joined the band after 2 albums. Their 6th and 7th studio albums, namely, Epica and The Black Halo are the only "concept" albums. Both are based on Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe's "Faust". The plot is almost the same (not disclosing), the characters name changed. The whole story is divided into two, hence the two concept albums. Epica seemlesly blends into The Black Halo. I tried my best to interpret the whole thing. Some parts I couldn't. :S<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Epica</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Characters</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />1. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> - Also known as Faust. In Kamelot's world, Ariel. Now, Ariel is a scientist/researcher/philosopher I believe. He seeks answers to questions which science and religion have failed to give. He seeks the universal truth. And also, he is God's favorite man.<br /><br />2. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Helena</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> - The only girl Ariel has ever loved. She is everything that's good and pure, personified.<br /><br />3. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Mephisto</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> - An archangel cast out from Heaven. When God ordered all the angels to bow before mankind, Mephisto refused, for he was only loyal to God. He yearns to be with God now.<br /><br />So here it goes, song by song. Hope you enjoy. Make sure you go through the lyrics.<br /><br />1. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Prologue</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (1:07)<br /><br />No lyrics in here. An eerie track. Sort of spooky. Couldn't make out anything. In Faust's prologue, God and Mephisto make a bet. If Mephisto can take the soul of Ariel, God's favorite man, he will be granted a place in Heaven. But if he fails, he will be condemned to hell forever.<br /><br />2. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Center Of The Universe</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (5:27)<br /><br />Move slowly<br />Beyond the colors of my eyes<br />Move slowly<br />Into the corners of my mind<br />Rising like the Pegasus<br />Each and every one of us<br />Released<br />Islands in the sea of dreams<br />Always searching harmony<br />And peace<br /><br />All we find<br />Reject our mind<br />Don't you wonder why<br /><br />If the war by heavens gate released desire<br />In the line of fire someone must have known<br />That a human heart demands to be admired<br />Cause in the Center of the Universe<br />We are all alone<br /><br />Show me sign of paradise<br />A place we all would like to go to<br />Tell me what to sacrifice<br />So there's a chance for me to want you<br /><br />All I find<br />Reject my mind<br />And I wonder why<br /><br />I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight<br />Follow me into the core of the fountain of light<br />Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul<br />(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)<br />Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all<br />(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">In this song, we are introduced to Ariel's thirst for knowledge, his "always searching" mind.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Islands in the sea of dreams<br />Always searching harmony<br />And peace<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">A dreamer. Searching for answers.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />If the war by heavens gate released desire<br />In the line of fire someone must have known<br />That a human heart demands to be admired<br />Cause in the Center of the Universe<br />We are all alone<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He believes, at some point, at the verge of death, someone must've known the truth. "In the line of fire someone must have known". In his homeland, the center of the universe, without the truth, he feels alone.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Show me sign of paradise<br />A place we all would like to go to<br />Tell me what to sacrifice<br />So there's a chance for me to want you<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He's willing to sacrifice anything to go to that place, to know the truth.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight<br />Follow me into the core of the fountain of light<br />Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul<br />(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)<br />Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all<br />(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here he decides that the answer is not in his homeland, but somewhere else. The lines in ( ) are sung by a female. And she tells him to go on a quest, a journey, to seek the truth.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />3. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Farewell </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(3:41)<br /><br />Winter's close...and the mountain high<br />I'll start my journey now<br />On this planet we call Earth we belong<br />I want to know<br />Why did God make me feel<br />There is more to be answered<br />Maybe God cannot remedy<br />Our souls if he tried<br />I seek peace of mind at least<br />And to know I did my best<br />I will pray for those I have loved<br /><br />I must take your farewell<br />Carried by destiny<br />Bound to obey<br /><br />I must take your farewell<br />Trails of discovery<br />Lead me an ocean away<br /><br />No one holds the only truth in his hand<br />So who am I<br />To defy even God<br />In quest for a reason<br />There's no time to waste I'm afraid<br /><br />I must take your farewell<br />Trails of discovery<br />Lead me an ocean away<br />So far away<br /><br />When the tide is high<br />I won't dwell or wait no longer<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />In this song, Ariel sets out on his journey, and bids farewell to everyone he has known. And also rejects God.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Winter's close...and the mountain high<br />I'll start my journey now<br />On this planet we call Earth we belong<br />I want to know<br />Why did God make me feel<br />There is more to be answered<br />Maybe God cannot remedy<br />Our souls if he tried<br />I seek peace of mind at least<br />And to know I did my best<br />I will pray for those I have loved<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel sets on his journey/quest right before winter. He wonders why God made him feel that there is more to be answered in this life. He sets out on the journey, leaving everyone behind, even Helena. "I will pray for those I have loved"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />No one holds the only truth in his hand<br />So who am I<br />To defy even God<br />In quest for a reason<br />There's no time to waste I'm afraid<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He rejects/defies God, for God has left so many questions unanswered.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I must take your farewell<br />Trails of discovery<br />Lead me an ocean away<br />So far away<br /><br />When the tide is high<br />I won't dwell or wait no longer<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The final goodbye. He sails on.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />4. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interlude I (Opiate Soul)</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (1:10)<br /><br />An instrumental with some italian gibberish and Ariel trembling, cold most probably. I couldn't understand. One thing I could. "Opiate Soul", the title. An Opiate is a drug derived from the Opium plant. So during his journey, he turns to herbs/drugs. How do I know? Track number 5.<br /><br />5. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Edge Of Paradise </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(4:10)<br /><br />Sleepless<br />Not really quite awake<br />Where the soul conforms<br />To deeper needs<br />Free within frames of custody<br />I revolve my spirit and exhale<br /><br />On the edge of paradise<br />Poison burning<br />In my veins<br />Unavailing...compromised<br />My dreams remain the same<br /><br />Soothing but yet so violent<br />In this world within the other world<br />Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent<br />I see demon eyes and wings unfurled<br /><br />On the edge of paradise<br />Poison burning<br />In my veins<br />Unavailing...compromised<br />My dreams remain the same<br /><br />On the edge of paradise<br />Powerless<br />I sail on by<br />Undermining life itself<br />My will to wonder why<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />Ariel, tired of the fruitless journey, turns to herbs/drugs. And under the influence of these drugs, he sees Mephisto, just a vision, he still isn't sure though. And he has no idea about the bet. Hopeless, he still seeks the truth.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Sleepless<br />Not really quite awake<br />Where the soul conforms<br />To deeper needs<br />Free within frames of custody<br />I revolve my spirit and exhale<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Clearly, he's high. "Sleepless. Not really quite awake". </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />On the edge of paradise<br />Poison burning<br />In my veins<br />Unavailing...compromised<br />My dreams remain the same<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Poison be the drugs here. The drugs in his veins. But still, his dreams, the universal truth, remain the same, unfulfilled.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Soothing but yet so violent<br />In this world within the other world<br />Moonlight...in visions...heaven sent<br />I see demon eyes and wings unfurled<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here, Ariel encounters Mephisto, just a vision though.

He gives up his search. And prepares to take his own life.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I recall one summer's night<br />Within the month of June<br />Flowers in mahogany hair<br />And smell of earth in bloom<br />Only such a melody<br />Comes without a sound<br />More than faintly heard by those<br />Who know what they have found<br />Now it's just a memory<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel talks about the time he spent with Helena. And the love they shared. "More than faintly heard by those, who know what they have found". But now, in his darkest hour, it's just a memory.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Silently we wander<br />Into this void of consequence<br />My shade will always haunt her<br />But she will be my guiding light<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He wanders, hopeless and aimless. He thinks about her all the time. "She will be my guiding light"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Silently we wander<br />In search of truth and confidence<br />So many hopes were lost here<br />Along the way<br />From morning to night<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Same thing, but then again, he also knows that the path is difficult.

His descent. Here, he tells Ariel that he can make his every dream/wish come true. But only at the cost of Ariel's soul. He gives him time to consider the offer. But he's sure Ariel will agree. Close your eyes and listen to this song, and you can really see Mephisto's descent.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Speak my friend<br />You look surprised<br />I thought you knew<br />I'd come disguised<br />On angel wings...in white<br />I can make<br />Your dreams come true<br />What a couple...<br />Me and you<br />On journey through the night<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here we see Mephisto trying to convince Ariel that he can make his dreams come true. "I thought you knew", in reference to Edge Of Paradise. Mephisto seems all so angelic here.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Bathed in moonlight<br />I'm proclaimed by angels cry<br />Think well<br />Do take your time<br />Because your soul<br />Will be mine the day you die<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Mephisto talks about the deal here. He will fulfil his every dream/wish. But once Ariel dies, he will keep his soul. Gives him the time to think.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Name a pleasure<br />One...a few<br />Any form<br />Of lust in you<br />Will tremble at my touch<br />I come down from heaven's light<br />I have all the perfect alibis<br />There's so much...<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Mephisto is still trying hard to convince Ariel. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Call my name or carry on<br />Till that last resistance' gone<br />I'm sure we'll meet again<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Resistance here refers to Ariel's hesitation to sign the deal with Mephisto.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />9. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interlude III (At The Banquet)</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (O:31)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />His invitation was clear<br />I shut my eyes...and now I'm here<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Host)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Please make way,<br />our host is making his entree.<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />Ariel is sort of transported to Mephisto's palace/castle. The whole mood of the song is upbeat, joyous types."His invitation was clear, I shut my eyes, and now I'm here"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />10. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">A Feast For The Vai</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">n (3:58)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Mephisto)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Everyone is here<br />The feast can soon begin<br />Vanity we celebrate<br />My favourite of sins<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Chandeliers so grand<br />That heaven sees the shine<br />And my friend declares<br />Everything I look at could be mine<br />It's a miracle<br />Life till now has been a waste<br />You have proved to me<br />By your hand I'm truly graced<br />Unbelievable<br />Gold and glitter blinding me<br />So adorable<br />All these women from my fantasies<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Mephisto)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Come with me my little ones<br />Let's revel for the free<br />Raise your glass and praise the fact<br />How easy life can be<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />In the splendour of the night<br />I've found company<br />Once again I feel that life's begun<br />All the wrongs seem to be right<br />Drowned in ecstasy<br />Every star is like a newborn sun<br /><br />May the life I knew be gone<br />I accept the deed<br />But one point we have to modify<br />If I wish to linger on<br />In a state of still<br />Only then I'm yours the day I die<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />Mephisto's castle. So full of everything. All the worldy pleasures. Ariel is definitely awe-struck. Everything just seems so perfect. Ariel accepts his offer. But he makes a modification, a change. If at some point, at some moment, he feels that he has found the answer, the truth, and he wants to stay in that moment, then only he will give his soul away. Mephisto agrees.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Chandeliers so grand<br />That heaven sees the shine<br />And my friend declares<br />Everything I look at could be mine<br />It's a miracle<br />Life till now has been a waste<br />You have proved to me<br />By your hand I'm truly graced<br />Unbelievable<br />Gold and glitter blinding me<br />So adorable<br />All these women from my fantasies<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel is truly awe-struck. It's a miracle. Women, gold and glitter. It's everywhere. Everything that he ever wanted.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />May the life I knew be gone<br />I accept the deed<br />But one point we have to modify<br />If I wish to linger on<br />In a state of still<br />Only then I'm yours the day I die<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel accepts the offer/deal. But modifies the deal a bit. If he wishes to stay in a moment, where he'll find his answers/truth/happiness, then only Mephisto can have his soul. Mephisto agrees.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />11. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">On The Coldest Winter Night</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (3:58)<br /><br />I am breathless,<br />Need I say<br />How could you find me here?<br />You, of all, have crossed my way<br />Unexpectedly...from where?<br />I feel like I am dreaming<br />Hold me close,<br />Tomorrow may be gone<br /><br />This is a moment of belief<br />This is a moment made of dreams<br />You found me here today<br />On the coldest winter night<br />This moment is our right<br /><br />Now, Helena tell me all<br />The years we've been apart...<br />Did you hear the mountain fall?<br />...my broken heart<br />Don't wake me if I'm dreaming<br />Hush, my dear<br />Because tomorrow may be gone<br /><br />Lost in the present, I am sure<br />This is the moment, say no more<br />You found me here today<br />On the coldest winter night<br />This moment is our right<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />After leaving Mephisto's castle, Ariel runs into Helena, who has been searching for him all this time. The love is still there, warm and strong. They both spend the night together and during this night, Helena conceives Ariel's child, though neither is aware of this.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I am breathless,<br />Need I say<br />How could you find me here?<br />You, of all, have crossed my way<br />Unexpectedly...from where?<br />I feel like I am dreaming<br />Hold me close,<br />Tomorrow may be gone<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel is surprised and breathless. Never thought he'd run into his lost love. It all seems like a dream to him.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />This is a moment of belief<br />This is a moment made of dreams<br />You found me here today<br />On the coldest winter night<br />This moment is our right<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel is happy to be with Helena.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Now, Helena tell me all<br />The years we've been apart...<br />Did you hear the mountain fall?<br />...my broken heart<br />Don't wake me if I'm dreaming<br />Hush, my dear<br />Because tomorrow may be gone<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Love is all around. Ariel doesn't want to wake up from this "dream". Because he might not be there tomorrow. During this night, Helena conceives Ariel's child.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />12. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Lost & Damned</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (4:55)<br /><br />Helena you came to me<br />When seemingly life had begun<br />Little did I know then<br />Where this would go<br />When this begun<br />Once I was free to fly...<br />I never promised anything<br />This may well be goodbye<br /><br />Don't ask why<br />Don't be sad<br />Sometimes we all<br />Must alter paths we planned<br />Only try understand<br />I want to save you<br />From the lost and damned<br /><br />Although you hold me close<br />I feel retention arise<br />Just as a hint of fear<br />Like subtle clouds<br />In summer skies<br />Once in the moonlight...<br />I can't explain<br />And I don't know<br />Somehow we may reunite<br /><br />Don't ask why<br />Don't be sad<br />Sometimes we all<br />Must alter paths we planned<br />Don't forget what we had<br />But let me save you<br />From the lost and damned<br /><br />Love means nothing to me<br />If there is a higher place to be<br /><br />Helena don't you cry<br />Believe me; I do this for you<br />Heed my decision now<br />I will be gone tomorrow noon<br />My tale has just begun<br />Nothing can take my faith away<br />In my quest for the sun<br /><br />Don't ask why<br />Don't be sad<br />Sometimes we all<br />Must alter paths we planned<br />Leave me behind, don't look back<br />Because deep within you know<br />I'm lost and damned<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />The "break up" song. Ariel tells Helena that they can't go on. They have to part ways. Tells her not cry. He's trying to save her by letting her go. He knows that the deal with Mephisto might prove painful for Helena. His actions may hurt her. He loves her, but he holds his quest/answers much higher than the bond they share.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Helena you came to me<br />When seemingly life had begun<br />Little did I know then<br />Where this would go<br />When this begun<br />Once I was free to fly...<br />I never promised anything<br />This may well be goodbye<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Helena came back into Ariel's life when his life had begun, as in, life after signing the deal with Mephisto.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Although you hold me close<br />I feel retention arise<br />Just as a hint of fear<br />Like subtle clouds<br />In summer skies<br />Once in the moonlight...<br />I can't explain<br />And I don't know<br />Somehow we may reunite<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Although they are together, but there is hesitation. Ariel is confused.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Don't ask why<br />Don't be sad<br />Sometimes we all<br />Must alter paths we planned<br />Don't forget what we had<br />But let me save you<br />From the lost and damned<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He asks her not to be sad. Tells her to cherish the memories. He wants to save her, from the pain, from his actions.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Love means nothing to me<br />If there is a higher place to be<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here, he values his quest/answers higher than the bond they share. He still love hers, but he wants her to go.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Helena don't you cry<br />Believe me; I do this for you<br />Heed my decision now<br />I will be gone tomorrow noon<br />My tale has just begun<br />Nothing can take my faith away<br />In my quest for the sun<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">He wants her to go. He's doing it just for her. He genuinely loves her. But then again, his quest is more important.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />13. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Helena's Theme</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (1:51)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Helena)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />I remember a song<br />From long ago<br />Some of the pieces<br />They remind me of you<br />How could I know<br />You were to leave me<br />I thought that I was that melody<br />Oh so wrong<br />I'm but a whisper tonight<br /><br />And if this is goodbye<br />I will leave<br />But I'll love you<br />Until the end<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((River Spirit)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />If the grace of God is real<br />And the word of Christ can heal<br />Bring their souls to heaven's light<br />Bless the unborn child tonight<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />A very very VERY tragic song. Distraught, Helena promises that she will always love him, even in death. And drowns herself in the nearby river, and the child in her womb as well. The river spirit prays to God. Helena and the unborn child ascend to Heaven. One thing I noticed, the track number is "13". Evil and inauspicious. Her death. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />14. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interlude IV (Dawn)</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> (0:28)<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Town Crier)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Hear ye hear ye!

Her body is found in the river. Her innocence/purity is portrayed so perfectly here. "Sweetest flower of all the field"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />15. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The Mourning Afte</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">r (4:59)<br /><br />I just had a dream<br />She was by the riverside<br />Alone and dressed in white<br />Paling in the cold<br />Walking on the icy face<br />On memories of glory days<br /><br />Carry on<br />Carry on<br />Meet me on the other side<br />Once the mourning after turns to day<br /><br />Carry on<br />Carry on<br />Keep on to the other side<br />The mourning after slowly fades<br /><br />How could I have known<br />Just the thought is simply wild<br />In her womb...a little child<br />I am left to roam<br />On the surface of a dream<br />In a world that can't be seen<br /><br />Carry on<br />Carry on<br />Just you carry on<br />Till the mourning is over<br /><br />Carry on<br />Carry on<br />Just you carry on<br />Till the mourning after leaves<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Interpretation :<br /><br />In a dream, Ariel witnesses the death of Helena and the unborn child. Confirmed by the Town Crier, Ariel is bewildered. He grieves for them. But he must carry on with his quest. It would be a dishonor not to fulfil the quest for which he left her, and for which she took her own life. He carries on.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />I just had a dream<br />She was by the riverside<br />Alone and dressed in white<br />Paling in the cold<br />Walking on the icy face<br />On memories of glory days<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ariel talks about the dream where he witnesses the death of Helena.

The conclusion to the first part of Faust. And this album. In this song, Mephisto talks about the 3 ways to Epica, the place where Ariel can find his answers. The first way, the first lesson, teaches about how one can learn only from his own mistakes. The second lesson talks about trust. Although, it could be a trick. Mephisto asks Ariel to trust him, for Ariel's will is his concern, and he can take him to a higher place. The third lesson talks about happiness and sorrow. Sorrow is just as much part of life as happiness. And it's more like a curse on humans.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />I am defected from God<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Helena)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />God had seized my soul<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />So low redemptions too far<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Helena)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />I am heaven's sheen<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />She's the one that I loved<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Helena)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />Love is all around<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Ariel)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />And she tore me apart<br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(((Helena)))</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br />The dark can never win<br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Here, Ariel blames God for everything.

In exchange, if Ariel ever experiences a moment in which he wishes to stay forever, Mephisto will receive his soul, thus granting him a place in Heaven.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Since Helena's death, Ariel has been overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow, leaving him in a very very weak state, a state of despair.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">All Mephisto has to do now is claim Ariel's soul, in any way possible. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Helena, watches over Ariel.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">What happens next is beautifully portrayed in The Black Halo.

What an awesome day. Adventure, in every sense.<br />So I wake up. And it's raining. Like heavily. I have to be at the Club Mahindra HQ by 11am. Summer training, tele marketing calls. Sucks to the core. I somehow make it. All wet though. Like literally wet. No, not in that sense. As in, wet, rainy wet. For the first time ever, I totally hated teh AC. I was already wet, and it was like so friggin' cold in that room. The only thing hot in that room was uuuh our training teacher. Offered us coffee. And I was like "oh wow coffee" drink drink. And after drinking, I realized that I was fasting. Selfpwn. And the funny thing is, after I was done with the coffee, she asked me "You don't fast?". Pissed me off so bad. I mean. She could've asked me the same thing before offering the coffee. But then again, she was hot. And I was like "No no, not today." Heh. Women. So seducingly evil.<br /><br />Evening, it's still raining. Like heavily. I somehow make it to the auto stand. It's a battle ground. People literally humping autos. No chance. I can't imagine myself sitting in the lappy of a 45yr old "chubby&wet" aunty. Skip. Move on to the main road. Same scene. People humping rickshaws. And now I need to piss. I could hear my bladder crying. So I call up my cousin. She works at an MNC. I went there, all wet. I didn't go to the toilet. We both left. And after walking for a while, I said "I need to piss". I just couldn't hold it in there. So we went back. And there I was, pissing in the toilet of an MNC. What an awesome feeling it was. She stayed. She had other plans I guess. I left.<br /><br />I must've walked around 10kms in heavy rain. The real creepy adventure started now. So I was standing outside her office. No autos/rickshaws. So I walked, and walked, and walked. And I walked all the way to home. 2-3 hours I guess. And it was still raining heavily. The only thing that scared the shit out of me were those electricity cables. Brrrr. And ofcourse, the traffic.<br /><br />Epic day it was. Once in a lifetime thinger. I'm so proud of myself >_> I'm sad about only one thing though. The coffee thing. Sigh.</span>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-20825870454889604752008-09-17T16:20:00.004+05:302008-09-18T14:36:35.970+05:30A Sign<span style="font-style:italic;">An intimation of your love.<br />Hides behind a disguise.<br />Your presence, so phlegmatic.<br />Leaving you, unwise.<br /><br />Can't stop staring.<br />Wonder what you're thinking.<br />Looking from behind the curtain.<br />The poison, I keep on drinking.<br /><br />A sign, you think of me.<br />Alone, all by yourself.<br />Stare at my photograph.<br />There, in your hands.<br /><br />Wash my feelings away.<br />Another sip of poison.<br />Look through the glass.<br />Wait for another sign.<br /><br />Push the memories away.<br />They return, so vivid.<br />The poison in my veins.<br />Fail to turn them black.<br /><br />Soothing words once said.<br />Passionate deeds once done.<br />Take me back to the time.<br />Where I felt complete.<br /><br />The candle that burns.<br />Slowly fades away.<br />Wax fills my empty heart.<br />Tomorrow I may never wake.<br /></span>Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-24444008926573663812008-09-13T14:26:00.014+05:302008-09-13T23:01:32.731+05:30Spiritual Midgets.<span style="font-style:italic;">Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, were created by God in the heavenly Garden of Eden.<br />God created Adam out of dust, and then Eve out of his rib. Strange. They were allowed to live in this garden but weren't allowed to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Now this Tree of Knowledge offered the ability to understand good and evil, something which only God could do at that time. On the other hand, there was the Tree Of Life.<br />Fruits of this tree offered immortality, a spiritual connection with God at a higher level. Sadly, Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, and made Adam eat as well. Forever they were banished from the Garden Of Eden, for disobeying God. They were tempted to eat, all thanks to the serpent, as in, Satan. Yes, Satan lured Eve into eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. God gave them a choice. Had they not eaten from that tree, things would've been different. Now, instead of receiving, they had to earn. Earn everything on their own, from scratch. That's what humans do.<br />For their sin, we are paying. Fair?<br />We wouldn't be here if they didn't fall for the serpent's trap. Adam and Eve would still be living in the Garden Of Eden, on a spiritual level.<br /><br />It's quite funny actually. God created man, someone who could disobey Him. Why would He do that? Satan tempts us. God tests us. Like really, what is going on here? God and Satan, both seem like two little kids or uuh midgets fighting over an action figure :/<br />That action figure be us, humanity.<br /><br />God has given us a choice. Worship or face the wrath, as in Hell. This doesn't seem like a choice. Seems more like "Follow the system or else you're screwed". Why not any other option? Like maybe "Live, do whatever you want to, I don't care" :S<br />God wants us to worship Him. Remember Him. Love Him. Fear Him. Praise Him. Extreme Narcissism? <br /><br />God and Satan, two good friends. I don't know why I believe in that. Satan tempts us to do unholy things, drive us to the edge of insanity, and then we kill, others and ourselves. That's how it's done. People die, and we say, it was God's wish. Or maybe, Satan forces us into the whole killing thing, and then God kills us. Murderers eh? Or maybe it's their way of controlling population :S<br /><br />If Jesus died for our sins, then why is there suffering all around? Why is God testing us all the time? What is the purpose of life? To pass His tests? That's it? And what do we get in return? Heaven? An imaginary place? An illusion? We don't even know if it exists. Fail the tests, and you are on your way to Hell. Why do Heaven and Hell exist? Why not something else? <br /><br />I see a pattern, a system in every religion.<br />1. There is God.<br />2. There is Satan.<br />3. There is the Heaven and Hell concept.<br /><br />And all these lead to only one conclusion.<br />Gods don't create religions. Religions create Gods. Satan and God are complimentary to each other. Without Satan, God wouldn't exist. Without God, Satan wouldn't exist. It's like an authoritarian system. Under authority, under God, we feel safe and secure. And some like to break free from this system. <br /><br />/end of gibberish<br /><br /></span>Amjad

Friends at door. They tell me to get ready cos we gotta go and check out a few gyms. I get ready, no breakfast, and tell grandma and aunt that im going with friends to check out a few gyms. I go out, and they say "Why are you all dressed up? Where are you going?" It was all a joke. :|<br />These 2 guys are my only real friends here. I laugh it off. They go, and instead of going back home I go to a nearby ice cream parlour, sit their for an hour, eat some, and then back home.<br /><br />---<br />830am<br />Turn on my PC, watch a few music vids, and then, I delete the "pawn" folder. 10gbs of prOn, all gone. It feels good. Very good.<br /><br />---<br />10am<br />I get an email from X. Now, X is my very good friend. My first female orkut friend. We've known each other for over an year now. So umm, I get to know that her best friend of 15years has committed suicide and she's dead. X is a very sensitive girl. I feel so helpless. There's nothing I can do to make her feel good. I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through.<br /><br />---<br />1pm<br />I come to know that my mom isn't doing well, diabetes and all. 5000kms away, I feel so helpless, again...<br /><br />---<br />3pm<br />For the next 3 hours, I try to sleep, but I can't.<br /><br />---<br />6pm<br />I open Orkut, click on Login, and the next thing I know, my Orkut has been suspended, my "home", gone..<br />I open Facebook, click on login, and this is what I get - "Your account has been deactivated"<br />I get an email from a guy "Lol I hacked your account and deactivated it haha" :|<br /><br />---<br />7pm onwards<br />Numb and idle. Don't know what to do, where to go. Luckily, one friend comes online on yahoo. I get an sms from him. Someone cares. I keep clicking on Inbox. Maybe someone will mail. Sadly, no one does.<br /><br />---<br />Head down, I think about X, her friend, mom, Orkut and Facebook, it all seems like a joke. But as I slowly accept this bitter truth, I get this weird sinking feeling.<br /><br />---<br />God has been very funny today. I know He's testing me and my patience. I won't curse Him. I won't question Him. Everything happens for our own good.<br /><br />---<br />As I type, I realize that I have no one to talk to, no one to call or sms to.<br /><br />---<br />"God, are you reading this?"<br />There's only one thing I want right now, and I'd do anything for it.<br />I want to hug someone and cry my heart out. Even if it's in my dreams, i'll be more than happy.<br />I miss my mom.<br />I miss my dad.<br />I miss my best friend.Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-63750868484773917052008-06-05T23:33:00.002+05:302008-06-05T23:34:49.749+05:30I don't know what to do.<br />I have no where to go.<br />I'm numb...Amjad Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10906280739814432194noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951617.post-31144816252021761382008-06-05T19:22:00.003+05:302008-06-05T19:55:22.857+05:30iGot LOLED :/"Other Issues Signing in: Unable to access a Google product<div class="content"><div class="inner_content"><div class="answer_heading"> </div> <div class="i article_content"> <p>Your access to this Google product has been suspended because of a perceived violation of either the Google Terms of Service or a product-specific Terms of Service.

That's cool. Liek fEr ReAl >_><br /><br />A few months ago, I accessed an "adult" site on my cell, and since then I have been receiving "kinky links". For instance.<br /><br />Nazare<br />Haseen nazaron ka luft uthaye apne mobile..Click kare *link*<br /><br />Bollywood Queens<br />All Bollywood Queens photos and ringtones! Click on link *link*<br /><br />Sizzling<br />Sizzling Models for your mobile!
