Life, People

Happy Birthday to Ananya with Lots of Love


Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking

Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall

Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you

Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating

Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall

Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you

Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do

Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall

Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
(Everytime I fall)
(Everytime I fall)

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
(Anywhere but here)
I wouldnt wanna change
(I wouldnt wanna change)
Anything at all
(Anything oh I..)

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall

Night swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name

Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all

I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on… you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall

I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but… here
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all

Pingola the Grumpy King

This is the cover of The Grumpy King, it has been published by Ladybird. The story – not written by me- is about Pingola a very very grumpy king who was always worried and grumpy. He made too many laws and tried to force everyone in his kingdom to follow the laws – bedtime at 9, everybody must always do their homework, no eating sweets, no parties, etc. The king himself had to check everyone’s report cards to make sure they were all studying hard. The only saving grace was the king’s son, Singola (!!) who tried to make his father understand there can be no life without fun…But in vain.

One day the king woke up in the night to find everyone celebrating. He found out that they were celebrating his death! And try as he might, he could not make them see that eh was not dead. It was a nightmare! Finally when the king actually woke up, he decided to abolish the old rules and make new rules! Like school till 3 in the afternoon only, weekends for fun and parties, etc. The people were happy and they lived happily ever after.

Well I’m not too fond of the story myself, but apparently the book was pretty popular with children (and their parents!) I met a lady who said that her daughter really loved the book, and thought that she was the grumpy king! But alas, the shelf life for these books are very less… by the time I met her daughter, my book was passé, and she was playing video games instead 😦
