The bulb shines like Superman!

Just an ordinary day, but a then thats not bad is it? :-)

1. The Bulb still works!

I today add up to my list of ideas- all from thin air! A boring day, I am far from motivation of any kind but still from no where i get a few.

2. Shimla misrch ki Sabji

I am actually surprised. I think a bore day in office can actually result in a lot of things. After deciding that we will order pizza, suddenly we become motivated to cook. Its turns out to be quite nice in taste. I practice all the antics I can, while cooking. I may not be exotic yet, but wait a few more months :-)

3. The Sanjeev Kumar microwave cook book!

I got a cook book from the library! Lets see how far it goes.

4. TV Cassette Player works

I got some videos cassettes from the library to check whether the cassette player in the TV works and whoa it actually does! Now we can watch some movies on it. Better than watching it on the laptop :-)

5. Sunshine Superman!

Ok, lets take a day off from Dylan mania and listen to someone who was a popular folk rock artist during Dylan's peak time in 1965. In fact they were seen as rivals during those times. Some say Donovan songs had influence of Dylan. Maybe he had. I could see some influence in the style of singing. This is a very 'trippy' song (if you know what that means). Critics called it an 'innocent hippy' song.

He was good friends with The Beatles (specially Paul and John), Joan Baez and also somewhat Dylan. This song was initially named as 'For John And Paul'. Jimmy Page played lead guitar on this. Page was a session musician at the time. Yes, you can say it was psychedelic in a lot of ways. It was written keeping in mind his model wife Linda Lawrence.

Listen to it - pretty much trippy, as far as i am concerned.

Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine

I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

I'll pick up your hand
I'll pick up your hand
