Perfect scenes using songs - 2

How I Met Your Mother - Season 1, Episode 21: Milk

Ted finally finds his perfect match through the technology company where he listed himself his soul mate (what a lame word). Ted has a date with her at the McLarine's but he is stuck on an empty street and calls Barney for help. But he did not come up. Finally, Robin arrives for the rescue and she drops him on time for his date. Also, to bring back smile on Ted face after the tough night he had, she shows Ted her undone hair :)



Hair - Robin bringing smile on Ted's face


But, Ted does not go to meet his soul mate - because he needs Robin. This is the song which is played when Ted is walking away from his date. Very lovely song and it synced so perfect with the scene. Only the below lines are in the scene:

Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl

Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl

This song is Mother of Pearl by Roxy Music. I did not enjoy the whole song (too heavy for me) but this part - perfect for the scene as Ted decides he don't want to trade Robin for even his soul mate.


Best part o fthe episode is a quote from Lily - There are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it is a mistake is to make that mistake and look back and say, "Yup, that was a mistake". 
Sometimes we have to make the mistake even if others keep saying that it's a mistake.  (so much suits me)

FRIENDS season 4 episode 4 - TOW The Ballroom Dancing

Joey helps the garbage man of the apartment, Treeger prepare for his Ballroom because he threatened to tell some things about the group which could land all of them out of the apartment. Joey, surprisingly is enjoying the practice and so does Treeger. At the end, when Treeger is actually going off for the ballroom dance on the evening, both of them dance. 


The final pose
Rehearsing dance

They actually dance very well then - on the song which is Night and Day. The version of the song in FRIENDS seems to be the one which was done by Tony Bennett. This is really a very nice song for a nice dance. If you are thinking to dance some evening, I recommend this song for sure. Steps - you can copy from this episode.

More to come, hopefully.

An evening in Bandra - part 2

More is here...continuing from where I left..
IF YOU ARE HERE DIRECTLY ON PART 2 - check the first part of this story first

She: Thanks... My name is Rutu.
Me: I am Dhanesh. Nice to meet you.

And that's how I met Rutu. What happened next was completely unexpected happened.

We chatted a while waiting for our respective friends. After a while
Me: Looks like I cannot get a good break. Cant reach my friends and cant go in without them as they have passes.


Rutu: I guess same is my situation. What can we do now?
Me: We?
Rutu: mmmm... Why not? Either we can go back to our homes or can do something so that the evening is not completely spoiled.
Me: Good idea.
Rutu: I have something to make it better - lets get in the club - boy and girl together don't need passes.

And that's what we did. Went in the club.. the music was so fine that we nearly got lost in it.

Rutu - Dancing

And that's what we did. Went in the club.. the music was so fine that we nearly got lost in it. The music was loud and the DJ was playing with the beats as if he owned it. "That's my name" was played like half a dozen times that night and many times was "DJ got us falling", Enrique's "I like it" and so many.

And suddenly, the music stopped and it changed to a slow one. It was, to my surprise, my favorite one - "The Time of my Life".
The atmosphere was hot and so was the temperature there.. 

Me: Oh wow!! I cant believe this song is being played.
Rutu: Yeah... dirty dancing *winks*
Me: you know this one?
Rutu: Who doesn't? I love it.

It was superb. The song, the dance and suddenly we started singing too..

"I've had the time of my life
Ni I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you.............."

Rutu and me were pulled very close to each other.. very close.. so close that it felt better to close the eyes.

As we were singing... the last line she said - "And I owe it all to you"..
The kiss

And a soft kiss... like a silk falling.. like a butterfly wings touching.. like.... a little captivating and a little liberating.

With the opening of eyes we saw each other and she sung song again "And I owe it all to you"..
As Rutu again moved close; my eyes closed again. I suddenly felt cold on my lips and a chilling wind passed right through me.
I opened my eyes, and... and she was gone.. I was holding her but now I just felt cooling sensation on my arms.

I went towards the table.. stunned.. My friends came from behind and said - "Sell you mobile dude.. not reachable at all.. & How the hell you got in.. wow.. you seemed to have danced your shoes off".

I am still stunned and speechless, standing there.. wondering what really just happened? I still wonder what really happened?

Rutu.. ????

End of story.. unexpected and incomplete it may seem.. but may be, it may be a perfectly ended story.

More to come, hopefully soon.
