Nice Songs - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue By Crystal Gayle

Artist: Crystal Gayle
Album: The Crystal Gayle Singles Album 1980
Song: Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue



I don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

Nice Song - Save The Last Dance For Me By Michael Bublé

Artist : Michael Bublé
Lyrics : Save The Last Dance For Me

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VY60CkP1qAc

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine,go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance,go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home,you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me.

Nice Song - The Weakness In Me By Joan Armatrading

Artist :Joan Armatrading
Lyrics : The Weakness In Me



I'm not the sort of person
Who falls
In and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start
I have a lover
Who loves me
How could I break such a heart
Yet still you get my attention
Why do you come here
When you know I've got trouble enough
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone
Make me lie
When I don't want to
And make someone else
Some kind of an unknowing fool
You make me stay
When I should not
Are you so strong
Or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by
When I mean to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly
Feeling guilty
Worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now
I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
And I need you
And you
Why do you come here
When you know I've got trouble enough
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone
Make me lie
When I don't want to
And make someone else
Some kind of an unknowing fool
You make me stay
When I should not
Are you so strong
Or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by
When I mean to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly


is this some sort of untold signal...........

Stand By Me By Ben E.King

O yet another rainy day....... Lovely Song......


Artist: King, Ben E.
Song: Stand by Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Instant Coffee - Bru Ice Cappuccino

Nikhil n I had gone to Sector 18, Noida market [during lunch... don't get any weird ideas when u read this.....] to pick up some ingredients for a Banana Chocolate Milkshake [a recipe I saw on the program Nigella's Kitchen on Discover, travel and Living, which incidentally turned out to be a great hit].
At the check out counter, we saw a pack of 5 sachets, of the 4 new flavours of BRU Ice Cappuccino. Just the right placement for impulse purchases..... [ ;-) yupp... have read some books......]

It was available in four flavours – Irish crème, Mochaberg, Berry Blast, and Chocomint.

Now we wanted to try them all but were confused as to which one would be good, since the packs placed there were really large.



Was sure that "Irish crème and Mochaberg" would be safer bets..... Also wanted to try out the new flavours of "Berry Blast and Chocomint"......

The guy at the counter said he had single sachet's too, jumped up and produced them in a jiffy..... [helpful people in large stores are good catalysts for people like us, who end up purchasing stuff which we don't really intend to purchase at the onset... ;-) ] We decided to take 1 sachet of each flavour.......

Came back to office n decided to make all of them in the evening.

Shared it with Snigdha, Lalit and Nikhil.

The packet said "The single serve sachets include coffee, milk and sugar in a pre mixed powder, sufficient to make one refreshing cup of delicious Ice Cappuccino. The creamy & frothy cappuccino can be prepared in seconds by adding 170 ml (a cup) of chilled water."

Now, how the hell were we to measure 170ml of water in office......... what an odd measurement to have...... They tried their best to be precise... but then......

Lalit's bright idea..... He said check out the size of the "nimboo pani" available at the snack counter in office [the label would say how much ml they are selling.... very bright, i must admit] , see how much of it fits in the glasses available in the canteen........ we could get an effective estimate of 170 ml of water.......

Snigdha conjured up a stirrer...... Nikhil provided some newspaper so that we don't mess up our work stations.... [ had to be neat n tidy else Mr Admin would have my neck if head heard, saw or found any traces of food stuff at our work stations..... ;-) ]

So we had all the flavours......
If I had to rank them, would say.....

1. Berry Blast - for the sheer innovation in the taste
2. Mochaberg - just love mocha flavour....
3. Irish crème - the classic
4. Chocomint - was close to "After Eight" sort of taste...

This ranking doesn't mean chocomint wasn't good. They were all really good. Would recommend them all. This list is just a forced ranking [there goes the Product manager in me.... :-) ] of the available options....

We really freaked out on them......

The only disappointing thing was that we were expecting lots of froth like the ad.... but that was a bit of a let down....
Check out the ad at http://www.archive.org/details/NewBruIceCappuccino

I read, that Karan Johar had launched these flavours some time in the middle of May and did a promotion with Adlabs. Read the Indiainfoline article here and the agencyfaqs article here.


Go try them.... n let me know what you thought of them.....

World Environment Day 2008- Kick The Habit - Towards A Low Carbon Economy

India celebrated it by increasing the price of petrol, diesel, and cooking gas yesterday, a move that is supposed to help the environment by reducing the amount of petrol, etc. people buy.... :-)

While driving to work heard the RJ's on Meow radio station talking about "World Environment Day" today while i was stuck in traffic at Motibagh.... yes.. everyone else on radio was talking about it too....

Meow had someone called arundhati who is associated with PETA to come and talk to them on the occasion. In all what she said there were two that really struck me.....

1. Eating vegetarian food will help in reducing carbon emission......
couldn't figure out why...... being a huge fan for non-veg food... i was saddened...... decided to read more about it when i got to office.
found a in link in a new feed "Ahead of Environment Day activists of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wear biohazard suits to create awareness about ill effects of meat consumption" but still can't figure out the "how" and "why" of the situation.

just saying this is not enough......

"Our PETA activists are wearing biohazard suits that tells
how meat is toxic for human beings and for the environment.
So on the occasion of World Environment Day we want to spread
the message that if people will continue eating meat and meat
products entire earth will get destroyed. Meat is toxic for
the entire universe and will make survival of human beings
difficult on earth," said Nikunj Sharma,
campaign coordinator, PETA.

Anyone know why... plz enlighten me....


2. PETA had done a giant sand sculpture of a polar bear crushed beneath a larger-than-life shoe and a sign that read, "Your carbon footprints have leather shoes." You can catch the full story on the peta blog and in kalingatimes




One of the RJ's also said that some of the 5 star hotels in India have started working with children (either under privileged or handicapped... could hear it clearly...) These children re-use the flowers from hotel and make mottled paper.... (paper with flower petals embedded in them).....
I found it a fabulous idea.......


I liked what Anupama Ramakrishnan had to say in her article "Stand up! for green earth" in Deccan Herald

An interesting article "The Recycling Race" on rediff.com by Shoba Narayan on how we Indians have recycling in our culture... ;-)

Involving children and making them aware at even nursery school level is such a bright idea....

Mobile Games on Climate Change have been Launched..... new media... huh.... :-)
