The Day The Music Died

The Day The Music Died

Posted by Nerdyy

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

We feel we are at an inflexion point - just dont know what things will be in the future. But I am at peace with my decision - I've thought about it for a while and now it's time - The last 8 years have been great and I am definitely NOT looking forward to the next 4. For now I am exhausted and need a break - I doubt if I'm ever coming back to this forum but stranger things have happened. In the words of the late Ted Kennedy "the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

Vignettes of my Dazzling Ex-Flames

Travel - One of the true passions of my life - I love the concept of visiting and spending time at destinations and then moving on to another destinations (Some might argue that this also reflects the way I view people - they wouldn't be completely incorrect) - variety after all is THE spice of life :D

In this brief post I present glimpses of hot dazzling women from a long time ago - from the country of my birth.

We start with the sexiest of them all (indeed this lady is arguably the moistest or wettest of all ladies in India, creating fertile surfaces wherever she travels).

Lady Ganga - as she descends from the mountains and starts her long journey to meet the Saagar of her dreams.


Next up, we move to Lady Mumtaz - truly a dazzling spectacle. No picture ever has done her justice or ever will - you actually have to be there to truly comprehend the scope of her beauty.

The picture is a little off center but you get the idea.

And we move on to Lady Victoria - although I did find out that the lady has changed genders in the interim 35 years since I last visited her - she now goes by the name Chatrapati Shivaji.

This is the erstwhile Victoria Terminus Station in Bombay - I do not believe there is a grander train station anywhere in the world.

Next up - one of the grand dames of Bollywood - opened in 1933 this art deco construction has hosted red carpet premieres of many a Bollywood hit. This is Regal.

And finally, not a flame but a landmark that reminds me of myself ( I will briefly explain)

This is Humayun's Tomb - right in the heart of Delhi - an absolutely gorgeous monument with lush grounds and a variety of other ancillary structures - truly a beautiful spectacle - attracting maybe one- hundredth of the crowds that other major monuments in the area attract - and even more remarkably, mostly bypassed by the local population. In short forgotten, taken for granted and unappreciated - hence it reminded me of myself - always the story of my life :D
