La La La...

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it,
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na !!!

Saw the video once on VH1 and heard it a few times...but wasn't able to track down the song...finally got hold of it today ! :D
The more I hear it the more it makes me happy...and I can relate to it so much, that I have a constant smile on my face when I am listening to it :)
Do you remember having cute little fights during childhood when once you are done talking you would plug your fingers into your ears and yell out gibberish to drown out what the other person is saying and not let them speak ? I guess I still do that even now ! Well not quite literally, but once I find no point arguing with a person any further and I feel I am on the edge of losing my cool, I go quiet and tune out. This avoids any potential hostility and helps me not get affected too much too.
Quite like flipping your humanity switch for a while..

Here are my top 5 fun ways I could use the message from this song :
5. People I try to avoid trying to get in touch with me...I go la la la la la la la
4. Dad asks me to quit my job and get a government job instead...I go la la la la la la la

3. Mom asks me when do I plan to get married...I go la la la la la la la

2. Boss asks to work on the weekend...I go la la la la la la la

1. Everything I planned goes for a toss and I need to start all over again...I go la la la la la la la

you can try it too...bring back some innocence to adulthood.. :)

Dunno what you are missing out on yet ? Check it out -->

PS : Ty not to fall in love with the dog :p

Ladakh on my mind !!!

Ladakh - It has become like an elusive dream I have been chasing for far too long. Like literally years !!! In the past few years I must have made plans for Ladakh with scores of friends and somehow it just doesn't happen. I have lost track of the reasons this trip hasn't worked out with anyone yet, but I sure haven't given up on it !!
From friends who fake enthusiasm saying, "Yeaiee we'll go to Laddakh !!" to canning plans at the last minute and going to Goa cause its easier...from falling out with friends with whom I made the plans in the first place (*yes I am short tempered & yes I don't forgive & forget :p) to agreeing to backpack with a group of random strangers until better sense prevailed...its like each time I have reached the station but missed the train :S
But this year...I am going to make the trip !! (*Anything Can Happen - Ellie Goulding playing in the background). I am out on a limb. I have already applied for my leaves at work (*I really wanna do it around my birthday !!) and I have quite sometime to myself to plan my trip out in 5-6 different ways and I am going to do just that. I have waited way to long for company, time, money, information, etc etc.. When a girl needs her exotic location fix she gets her exotic location fix !! :P
Ladakh is not really my escape. Honestly my work is killing me right now and yet I am enjoying it to bits. I hate IT but somehow I have come to love the work I am doing. But its like a part of me has eloped to Ladakh and I have to go find that part of me there !! Something tells me...I am not too far :) So wish me luck :D

Chasing my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...
