Moments of Truth.. Vol 1

Hey Girl, Is he everything you wanted in a man?

You know I gave you the world; You had me in the palm of your hand. So why your love went away - I just can't seem to understand. Thought it was me and you, baby - Me and you until the end, But I guess I was wrong.

Don't wanna think about it; Don't wanna talk about it - I'm just so sick about it; I can't believe it's ending this way. (I'm) Just so confused about it - Feeling the blues about it. I just can't do without ya! Tell me, is this fair?

Is (thi) the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Shoulda known better when you came around - That you were gonna make me cry. It's breaking my heart to watch you run around; Cause I know that you're living a lie. But that's ok, baby, cause in time you will find (out that) What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way back around.

Now Girl, I remember everything that you claimed - You said that you were moving on now - Maybe I should do the same. The funny thing about that is.. I was ready to give you my name - Thought it was me and you baby. And now, it's all just a shame - That I guess I was wrong.

Don't wanna think about it; Don't wanna talk about it - I'm just so sick about it; I can't believe it's ending this way. (I'm) Just so confused about it - Feeling the blues about it. I just can't do without ya! Tell me, is this fair?

You spend your nights alone And he never comes home. And everytime you call him, all you get is a busy tone. I heard you found out that he's doing to you what you did to me - Ain't that the way it goes - When you cheated, girl, My heart bleeded, girl. So it go without saying that should let the feeling hurt - Just a classic case scenario (and) Tale as old as time. Girl, you got what you deserved. And now you want somebody To cure the lonely nights. You wish you had somebody That could come and make it right. But girl, I ain't somebody - I'm out of sympathy. See...

What goes around comes back around. I thought I told ya!!

Great song - Justin Timberlake!! Thanks to you and lyrics mode...

If rich get poorer, what will happen to the poor?

------------------------------------

Chidambaram has asked the Indian companies to keep their prices lower.. and to not cut back their production...

I need to read the whole story, but... how will that work??

Indian economy is in a much better shape than the rest of the world.. but still...

--------------------------------------

US economy, as almost all capitalist economies, are built around consumer spending...

Not just somebody... but everybody in the US economy need to be spending... But how are they planning to increase the consumer confidence when the incomes are falling and the credit is in a crunch??

History is made!

One thing is for sure tonight... history had been made!

Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America, will also be the first black president in this country. USA has voted to give him a landslide victory - 338 to 144 and counting...

For sure, this is just the beginning.. there is plenty of work to be done to get this country back into a state of economic, social and political greatness.. a lot of evils and bad practices need to be undone.. but, I believe we have made a start.

Overall, what we need is a sense of reality and a stand for greatness - to believe in the greatness of everyone, not just of a particular skin color or personal alignment. (After all, one cannot have all round greatness when even one section is denied that, can we?)

US has a lot of racists. And I have to admit.. I am racist too... I have stereotypes in my mind... I may not say it out loud.. like that jingoistic racist I met the other day who claimed 'Indians suck'... I have no idea why he said that.. (and yeah, we do suck a lot of things.. you mean you dont?!) and I am not bothered to find out.. But, like I said, I have my prejudices too... but I make a conscious effort to overcome... As I believe, a lot of us folks are making that effort - no matter where we are or where we come from.... And, we have enough problems facing us to make us forget and overcome all these differences and prejudices. So, to a better world..

When I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.. I saw a lot of things... and noticed a few... there were a lot more blacks there than I ever saw in NY or even Detroit... but, they were a cheerful lot. I dont know if it was the joy of having a leader like Obama in their midst and making history... But I did sense a clear aura of happiness.

That is the vision I had when I saw Obama's speech tonight on the TV aired from Grant Park, Chicago. A president firmly grounded in the realities and challenges of the times... and at the same time, someone who believed in the greatness in us.. And someone who can call upon that superlative performance from everyone.

Yes we can!!!
