Coming back to life again

I start to feel like an albatross

when sea breeze blows beneath my winds again...

I've found everything, but I'm lost

I lose my conscience when i try to gain

If there's someone around, someone with me then...

I'll be coming back to life again

All around the day, I used to fly

There was no purpose or no reason behind

I never asked what when where or why

I always tried to control my mind

If there's someone beside, someone with me then

I'll be coming back to life again

STAY WITH ME

5 years back, when I was in my post-graduation college, i had formed a band with my two friends, Noyon Jyoti Parasara & Avinash Borooah, We used to call ourselves 'The Mantra' [ Dunno where we had got this name from]; Avinash knew how to play the guitar, I was as usually the jack of all trades and Noyon was there for vocals [ and off course moral support]. When we first thought about the band, we didnt have any instruments. Then we borrowed Samyukta's guitar, and made the college buy a guitar for us [ The money came from the fines we paid that month]. The guitar was a beauty though, a Hobner Jumbo [ I'm still not sure where it went after we left college]. We actually had started practising seriously [ Except Noyon, he was never serious in anything, until now].


Well that left only Avinash and I. I used to write songs and he used to give music to those. Since we were roommates, we had the liberty to get the guitar home and practice. We wrote many songs during that period... Songs about love, about friendship, parodies, fusions, everything... One song which always will be close to my heart is a song called "STAY WITH ME".


I wrote this song on a day, when my then best friend trusted someone else instead of me, the idea of friendship had just crash landed infront of me. I came back home, stood under the shower for 40 minutes, came out and penned this down... There's been many times I wanted to make this into a song, but couldnt... Though now this song might sound very generic but yes, I want to share this now with everyone...


The sky is so blue today
Just let me roam, don't call me
The colors which are bright in your eyes
Don't cry it off, let it be
Just call me friend, be my friend
At every step, be with me
Stay with me...

There are no titles or no trends
Who cares about stupid blood and gene
Time always stops within true friends
Friendship is truly evergreen
There is no end, so be my friend
Day or night, be with me
Stay with me...

THE CURIOUS CASE OF A SHOW OFF

For once I want to be Hiccup

For once I want to fly

To touch the clouds and taste the rain

To float like a feather in the sky

For once I want to be Harry Potter

For once I want to learn a spell

To fight some earthly muggles

For whom the earth is hell

For once I want to be Tyler Durden

For once I want to fight

My shortcomings, whatever I lack

To get my innerself right

For once I want to be Sam Gamjee

For once I want to defend

Let the world break into two

I want to be there for my friend

For once I want to be Jack Sparrow

For once I want to go insane

To find a way to pay all my debts

To find a world without pain

For once I want to be Matt Parkman

For once to hear my thoughts

To find out how many straight lines are there

How many squares, circles, how many dots

For once I want to be Dexter Morgan

For once a life without emotions

two lives, true lies, darkness and despair

Donuts, beers and job based on notions

For once I want to be Tony stark

For once I want to feel the power

The money, the girls, all the gadgets of the world

But the hearts not there, it can stop any hour

For once I want to be Andy Dufresne

For once to feel the power of  hope & patience

To rise against all odds, to think big and bigger

To feel the freedom in dark when it rains

But for this  life I am a person with

one life, two souls and three wishes

four friends, five possesions, six virtues

63 hours without sleep, couldnt do anything to my seven senses

30000 comic books, more than a lakh songs

experience of seven lives to stay in the game

My name is Victor Mukherjee

and I'm sure you've heard the name....
