THE X - FILES : THE 2ND MOVIE... OUT NOW.!!

The much awaited 2^nd X-Files movie is finally out!! The date was 25^th of July. It’s quite a long time after the 1^st movie, don’t you think? Well.. 10 years is a long time I guess. However, Mulder and Scully are back in business. I was so desperate, couldn’t hold up, so I couldn’t help searching for the plot and reading about it. But I won’t ruin it for you all. Just a hint ok? It is said that unlike the first film, the plot does not focus on the series' ongoing "mytharc" and instead works as a standalone thriller/horror story, similar to many of the "Monster-of-The-Week" episodes that were frequently seen in the TV series.

The man behind the scene is Chris Carter himself, being the director. So, you can expect the same ‘nature’ of the tele series from the movie as well. Production was done by Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz. Music by Mark Snow, as usual. The cast remains the same too; main characters being David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (Scully with long hair this time). Also starring: Mitch Pilleggi, Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, Alvin 'Xzibit' Joiner (Yep.. the man from ‘Pimp my Ride’) and Callum Keith Rennie.

Oooo.. I can’t wait to see this one. Hope all of you X-Files lovers are crossing your fingers and waiting too!!

THE PRETTY BLUE LOTUS FROM THE GARDEN......

TAKE ME AWAY - AVRIL LAVIGNE...

When life was hard.. rude and pathetic, she was the one who got me through. I love her singing. This is one such. She's helping me out a lot these days.

"Take Me Away - Avril Lavigne"

I cannot find a way to describe it - It's there inside; all I do is hide

I wish that it would just go away

What would you do, you do, if you knew - What would you do

[Chorus:]

All the pain I thought I knew -All the thoughts lead back to you

Back to what was never said -Back and forth inside my head

I can't handle this confusion - I'm unable; come and take me away

I feel like I am all alone - All by myself I need to get around this

My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you - If I show you,

I don't think you'd understand - Cause no one understands

[Chorus]

I'm going nowhere (on and on and) - I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on)

Take me away

I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on) (and off and on)

[Chorus]

Take me away
Break me away

Take me away

LITTLE ROUND STONES AND SEA SHELLS FROM THE SEA....

The sea.. beach.. sun and the sand??? Sounds dreamy?? Then this little story about sea shells and round stones is just for you. I am a sea creature.. as long as I could remember…. Maybe since birth I guess. Whenever I see the sea, I go completely crazy and well…. I want to jump to the beach and dip myself in ocean waves… Sea crazy, you call it huh?? I guess so…

I love sea shells… Specially the long spiral ones.. and little round stones too… I remember this little story about little round stones; let me tell you. The small pieces of stones, they are born as an offspring of big stones. They face many many difficulties in the sea.. washed away and swept away by waves… hitting themselves in bigger stones, but yet they reach the shore… so smooth and gentle. They say that these little round stones represent the circle of life. The big stones they are born from are our elders. The rough obstacles they face in the sea are challenges we face in our lives… They face theses obstacles bravely, learn lessons and get experienced about how to live life…and then they get used live life, the way it really is.. They stay calm and smooth… just like the smooth surface of the little round stones. In the end, they reach the shore.. peacefully… That’s their story…

Sea shells… they have many many stories to tell you. They say the princesses of the sea are born from sea shells.. And when you listen intently, when you listen really well, you could hear the sound of the ocean waves from the sea shells… Hey.. It’s true.. If you let your imagination fly and fly.. you can even feel the sand in your feet.. and the salty ocean waves caressing your body all over.. It’s just a matter of letting your imagination loose. Ever been to Narnia or Therabithia in your dreams?? Ever sailed the Arctic to see the polar bears?? Ever saw the Northern Lights over the Alaska in your dreams?? No?? Well.. start from the sea shells… It’s really dreamy..

I’m a girl of loads n loads of imagination.. Sea shells are a treasure to me.. I always loved to hear the stories of the sea… sea shells.. stones.. mermaids… underwater kingdoms… sea princesses… Fascinating things… Once I got two hand made necklaces out of sea shells... from my best friend for my birthday… They’re so beautiful.. and I keep them as a treasure with me.. And for how much I love the sea.. I’m even being called as ‘sea shell’.. I just love love & love that name…

Let your imagination run wild sometimes… The sea is the best place to start, I tell you. It’s no harm.. but I assure you this… You will feel magical.. trust me…

FIELDS OF GOLD........

Songs… They touch our souls in the most beautiful way.. Listening to a slow tune in the silence of the night.. it’s just too perfect. Sometimes… some songs leave behind stories in our lives. I’m going to tell you about a song.. which left me with an unforgettable memory.. A very special song in my life… This special song is Sting’s ‘Fields of Gold’..

It was a day in July…. 2 years back.. I was going through a very difficult time in my life… I needed a big break in my life to get away from all the worries… My best friend… he called me all of a sudden.. told me to put on something… and run out… and he came to pick me up… There was a big silence… he didn’t tell me anything… A moment later… we were in front of the Parliament grounds… the place I like most in the city of Colombo… It was a perfect evening…. The sun was slowly sinking… The breeze was slow and smooth… I found myself smiling…

Just then.. he took out his guitar and played this lovely song for me… I listened and listened…. And slowly… my worries faded away… Some time after .. my best friend left this world.. leaving behind eternal memories for me.. last for a lifetime.. And this song… is one out of those unforgettable memories… Listen to the words…. Feel what it says..

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

I do remember him that way… And it always brings tears to my eyes.. The way my friend sang it, really touched my heart so deeply. Yesterday, I wanted to find out the deeper meaning of this song.. and I searched the net to find an answer.. After reading a lot of criticisms and comments.. this was the final outcome….

This is about feeling joyous… but knowing that the joy is going to end someday… Sad.. isn’t it??? It’s about commitment too… This man who sings this.. is a man who broke promises in the past.. but he’s determined to make this present relationship last…

A major criticism goes like this… “The story is chronological. It is about courtship, marriage, and eventual death. The two people in the song meet, court, fall in love (at this point, he reveals that he has never really made such a strong promise/commitment to someone) but feels he is ready to now. "See the children run," their offspring and the "jealous sky" refer to the Heavens. Even Heaven is jealous of their love/relationship. The esteemed sun is jealous. Eventually, he dies and tells his love that they will always remember their love specifically, when she thinks of him, he wants to be personified as such... walking in fields of gold (barley).”

But what I found in most of the comments was…” This is about feeling joyous… but knowing that the joy is going to end someday”… It’s true isn’t it?? My best friend sang that song t me.. but I never thought I’d have to remember this part of the song ever…

“You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley.”

Today you’re happy with something very special in your life… and you definitely know that someway or the other.. some day.. this happiness will end… Knowing that.. you live your life… Sometimes when you look far and see that truth… it’s sad.. very very sad… This song is very special to me… One day.. when I gaze upon the starry sky and listen to the song.. I will have many things to remember…. Many stories to remember…
