See you again - Wiz Khalifa (Furious 7)

Wiz Khalifa has outdone himself with this song. It literally gives me chills whenever I listen to it. And tears too.

"It's been a long day without you my friend.
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began,
I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."

As soon as the song starts I see an image of Paul Walker in my head looking sideways with his hands on the stearing wheel. He will be sorely missed. Fast and Furious is just not the same without him. I still can't believe he's gone. More often than not we take life for granted and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this - we didn't know him, but we all mourned him. We only know his name, we have seen his movies and that's all, but still we cared. You can't judge a person by his looks but we connected with Paul through his movies. We miss his smile and his startling blue eyes. Not all of us are his die-hard fans and probably Fast&Furious were the only movies of his we saw. It's unexplainable why our heart squeezes whenever we think about him and all those feelings come rushing back when you listen to this song.
Every single word means so much. It speaks of family and loyalty, things we don't regard anymore. It says "How can we not talk about family, when family's all we got." It speaks about real, deep, faithful, trusting friendship, the special bond of brotherhood. The song is sad, mourning but also hopeful. The friends will meet again. "See the bigger picture ", "bond will never get lost" and "hard work forever pays." It's  inspirational. You can just picture Vin Diesel saying this to Paul. "Now I see you in a better place."
I think this song is perfect for real friends who need to talk to each other about everything, who are closer than family. Who are family.

After hundreds of senseless songs, finally one comes along that actually makes sense and connects to you. It strums those strings in your heart.
"Every road you take will always lead to home."
"See You Again"

Pain

What nobody told us  it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller.  It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up  not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Book Review: Leah On The Offbeat

You know it is a good book when it ends up schooling you. I am too old to read high school drama anymore but seeing people rave about Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda and Leah On The Offbeat, I finally gave LOTO a try. And boy am I glad. Initially sceptical, because the writing style is aimed at teenagers, the first few chapters were a bit difficult to get through. I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish.  It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book.  Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist -  angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to...

Book Review | Baaz by Anuja Chauhan

"Why do they call you Baaz?  It means falcon, he replies solemnly. Or bird of prey. Because I swoop down on the enemy planes just like a Baaz would. Then he grins. The grey eyes sparkle. It s also short for bastard." There is a reason why every Indian reader is in love with Anuja Chauhan, she makes reading fun! A quirky, sweet love story, set in the 1971 war which explores the two sides of patriotism - the soldier falls for a martyr's sister. A slow, steady build-up with Chauhan's usual desi charm and hilarious side characters that make Baaz a light-hearted read set in an otherwise serious backdrop. I am a huge fan and to quote Mint "The only Indian writer of commercial fiction really worth buying." But cut to Baaz, she went way out of her comfort zone and it resulted in a book that I wouldn't cherish or recommend. Don't get me wrong, I loved the story, it is the way it was told that didn't click. When I buy a book in English, I...
