Ode to a fallen warrior

March 28, 2006

Why, oh why, do people shut down their blogs and wipe all traces of themselves out? First it was the great Jivha, and now it's another vocal member of the Indian blogosphere.

For him, here is a farewell song. I apologise in advance to Phil Collins.

(sing to the tune of Phil Collins's Against All Odds)

How can you just walk away from us,
When all we can do is watch you leave
'Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who knew the poor at all

So take a look at your blog, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind us,
Just the memory of your ways
Ooh take a look at us now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to us is against all odds and that’s what we’ve got to face

I wish we could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see us cry
There’s so much we need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who knew the poor at all

So take a look at your blog, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind us, just the memory of your ways
Now take a look at us now, cos there’s just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all we can do and that’s what we’ve got to face
Take a good look at us now, cos we’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to us is against all odds
It’s the chance we’ve gotta take

Take a look at us now...
