Sunshine on my shoulders ..... makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes ....... can make me cry
Sunshine .... on the water ...looks so lovely
Sunshine ..... almost always makes me high
If I had a day I could give you ....
I'd give to you a day ...just like today
If I had a song I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.
- John Denver
There was an ad in India in which this song played in the background. Just the words and the tune are so heart-rendering, you cannot help but be touched. Well Seattle somehow warrants this song...... :) more than anywhere else. You should see the change from a cloudy day to a day when the sun is out. It is visible in people, in the water, in the colors and smiles all around.
The park which is unnaturally empty and drab on an otherwise normal Seattle day , ( read overcast) fills with humans and pets alike on a day like today. The water reflecting the sunlight is brilliantly blue. And nature is vibrantly green, everything as if in competition to outshine each other.
There's been so much happening and so much cramped into so few days ...... even then I got time to wonder , wow is this me !! It so happened that there was a day when there wasn't a friend with whom I would have missed out talking to or getting in touch with. And all I could think of was, where were you all some months back. :)
I also went on a trip to the company fulfillment center and got to see the entire process of what exactly happens after an order comes in. How that order is translated from an online mouse click to a package that actually greets you at your doorstep. Believe me , I was floored. The nitty gritty details are so amazing to watch and see how it all fits in like clockwork.
I will abruptly end this post today. I am bursting to write but what I have to write would make a good diary entry and not a blog post :).

My God! My head is still reeling trying to understand what that means:-).I have heard of circumlocution,but thats atleast planar.This warrants the word sphero-locution-3D and mind boggling :P
you know who:)
I JUST love that song....sunshine makes me high too:)
One of the lines goes like:"If I had a wish that I could make for you...".Every time I hear, it never fails to move me.
There is another song of his called "I am sorry".In that he sings.."...more than anything else am sorry for myself.." The pathos, the quiver, in his voice is palpable.Simply beautiful.
Incidentally I did like the post:)Behind all the sarcasm,there is something else too ;)

The absorption of beauty around you and then letting it out in a beautiful expression, takes a beautiful mind.
