O Rain ...

Your shadow lengthens as you turnaway from me
In this unceasing darkness ,you left me grappling
As my body's shrinking and the soul cries out love
Yes , in my heart you still linger on
Yeah , you left me breathing .


Your voices now ravish my sanity
And your dreams plunder away my nights
My eyes bleed and my mornings are flawed
Is it a lost love or have I lost my fights?

As the thoughts cloud up and take shape into the blue
From the 'me' , yes they wash away the 'you'
Hanging drops of rain on the lashes , they send
Quenching my sight and the seek
Escalating the streams beneath
They wash away the salt and plug the leak

I now stand to gain from the losses too real
For the time is there to heal
For there is no fear to fear
For there is no fight to fight
For there is no dark and there is no plight
For there are no tears and there is no pain

O rain , I stand to gain.
O rain , I stand to gain.

300 ?

No , not 300 and certainly not Spartans . These are probably some thousand Bangaloreans saying "Hello World" to you as you enter the city bus terminal called Majestic .

PERL + SOAP ... the prereqs.

I found it rather strange that a language as instituted as Perl could offer such an impedence . Task at hand was a simple SOAP based application which picks the WSDL from an endpoint , parses it to generate stubs and allows you to wrap your business logic around that .

"Tarry jew..." for I am not explicating the whole gamut out here , as of now . All I am going to do is jot down all the prerequisites required for the job . I am doing it for my future dekko .
