Once Around the Sun

John Mayer and Regina Spektor play out blues and jazz respectively as the city races past at one in the morning, Indian Standard Time: the old city centre, the rivers that run by the great rural conurbation, past walkovers and flyovers and underpasses and great shiny metro stations; they all blur as the guitars solo and the pianos crescendo.

To be twenty five and young and old.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
