Brushing teeth

There s somethin to brushin teeth in the morning. You ve just woken up and are a little fazed by reality. Rigours of life slowly take a toll on you and get you ready for the day ahead. The teeth brushin takes you from a semi-reality to reality(actually the snoozin the alarm does this but that is momentary). The transition happens fast especially in the hostel where you are being shoved for thook space in the wash basin.

But at home it is less sudden and for a moment you can enjoy this transition before amma hollers 'Drink coffee before it gets cold' while Jhini is two legs on me and tryin to wrestle me out.

Here s somethin that will make my brushin teeth experiance memorable. wake up. go to the wash basin. Grab the paste and squeeze some. Look into the mirror and start brushing. walkin around with my brush and i hear this on radio:

...sakatt hot maga
we have something special for you today. For a change we ll play some nice music.This one's called 'No excuses' by a band called 'Alice in chains' and you have no excuse to not have listened to this song before


And then you stand there lookin out of the window early morning, relishing the semi-reality phase of brushin teeth. And after you ve been 'brought back' by amma's coffee advice and are now thinkin bout the beauty of the brushin experiance, she asks you 'whats the smile on your face about?'
'hehe...nothin'

Heres the song:

It's alright
there comes a time
got no patience
to search for peach of mind
laying low
want to take it slow
everyday it's something
hits me so cold
find me sitting by myself
no excuses, then I know
It's okay
had a bad day
hands are bruised
from breaking rocks all day
drains and blue
I bleed for you
you think it's funny
well, you're drowing in it too
no more hiding or
everyday it's something
hits me so cold
find me sitting by myself
no excuses, then I know
yeah it's fine
we'll walk down the line
leave our rain
a cold trade for warm sunshine
you my friend
I will defend
and if we change
well I love you anyway
everyday it's something
hits me so cold
find me sitting by myself
no excuses, then I know

-"No excuses" by Alice in chains


P.S: I have nothin against our own music but it's so everywhere that it sounds ordinary.That and there are way too many things happenin on radio that space for good music is denied.
