Going mad

because since 930 pm last night, which was the time he got back home, Stoob has been dancing around the flat singing the following song in a terrible Kannada accent.

Kruipe Mahesh

Movie : Operation Diamond Rocket
Lyric : Chi UdayaShankar
Music : GK Venkatesh
Voice : RajKumar

if you come today | it’s too early
if you come tomorrow | it’s too late
you pick the time | tick tick tick tick tick tick | darling

if you say morning | no no it’s not good
if you say evening | no no it’s too bad
if you say noon | no no it’s not the time
what did you say | nothing oh it’s all right
you pick the time | tick tick tick tick tick tick | darling

million times beating my heart
million dreams haunt my heart
million memories squeez my heart
million desires stinging my heart
you pick the time | tick tick tick tick tick tick | darling

  4. totally out of context, but have any idea how much your book(hard cover) will cost around? Have to know whether my saved up pocket money will be enough..

    Any release date finalized? Will it be available in Cal on the same day???
