the dirge in the dark.

so endeth another week at FMS.

not that it was particularly good for me. all the society election results were announced. i was kicked out...yet again.seem to be going through an awfully unlucky time. couldnt even manage to scrape through a maths test. Ah! the capricious beautiful lady luck.

to be honest, ii dint have a hope of getting through anyway. so..while i drown in music and deafen myself with dirges in the dark, i leave ye folks with a delightful dirge on the "Sambhar of '69". i would attribute it to Anil aka Maverick, who in turn did not attribute it to someone. anyway..ciao for now

Sambhar of 69

I had my first real six rupees,
stole it from my father's pants.
went to a madrasi hotel,
to eat the sambhar of 69.

Me and some kadke dost,
had it all and we caught bukhaar,
jimmy puked, Joey got ulcers,
and Bagga ne maari dakar.

Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 1999,
still the sambhar was being served over there,

That was the worst food of my life.

There's no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic,
but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah

Standing there waiting outside,
nurse told me I will wait forever,
oh and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that loo there
That was the worst food of my life.

Back to the sambhar of 69.

Man I was getting killed,
I was full and restless,
I needed to unwind,
I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!!!!

And now the dhabas are changing,
new dishes have come and gone,
sometimes when I pass that old madrasi lane,
I still smell it, I can't be wrong.

Standing in those unwashed clothes,
the waiters still call me in there,
oh the way my nostrils burn,
I know that it will be served forever,
what was the worst food of my life.

Yeah it was the Sambhar of 69,

The Sambhar, the sambhar, the sambhar of 69 !!!
