Sign of the times?

I'm not happy these days... restless, temperamental, fidgety
Am not eating well, have been having stomach aches.....
Am not sleeping well, been having nightmares....
All through this, a song is running through my head

A song long lost with time, a song that some of you may remember....


this is how it goes





--

trapped in my body
trapped in my soul
trapped in my body
and I think i'm getting old

trapped in a dream and you can't even scream
'cos there's no one ever here
stapped to your seat
and you can't find your feet
will this nightmare never stop

all alone, strange city
hot crowded afternoon
i've been stranded in the darkness
I can't see, there's no moon

trapped in my body
trapped in my soul

chased in a dream by a freshly rested team
of black horses drawing a hearse
crossing swords on the bridge of rewards
there's no winner or fat purse

all alone, strange city
hot crowded afternoon
i've been stranded in the darkness
I can't see, there's no moon

trapped in my body, trapped in my soul
trapped in my body, trapped in my soul
trapped in my body
and I think i'm getting old

in my body is my soul

Self Portrait

Ranga has passed on this brilliant little tag - for a change it involves a bit of photoshoppery rather than writing. The task is to make a slide with abstract images which describe you.

Here is my effort

The yin-yang is central to my life. It not only represents my zodiac sign, the Gemini but also reflects my own character a bit of good mixed with the bad and the other way around. The moon inside is a representation of my name as well as that of the moonlight that shines in my life to show me the way. The gear shifter denotes my passion for driving and further the quest to explore the unknown, while the speedometer is the way I love to live and showcases my triple passions of my life - cars, trains and planes. I've used grayscale to convey that life is not always in black & white and the same color combo denotes my passion for photography as well.

Let the music play

This tag wasn't sent to me, but lifted it from Chandni's page as it was too hard to resist. So without further ado, let the music play
