muse


Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes...
I've finished a year in Hyderabad! It's amazing how swiftly time has flown by... This is the eighth city I've lived in; and while the first few months were rocky (pun intended, for you Hyderabadis) - I quite like it here now! Finishing a year made me think back to the lyrics of the song Seasons of Love from the musical Rent - which brought back a flood of memories from the time when I first watched it live - still settling into yet another new city, with a lot of things happening in life!

Seasons of Love (heavily abridged)

Five hundred twenty -five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty -five thousand six hundred moments so dear
Five hundred twenty -five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure -- measure a year ?
In daylights -- In sunsets
In midnights -- In cups of coffee
In inches -- In miles
In laughter -- In strife

Five hundred twenty -five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty -five thousand
Journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty -five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
It's time now - to sing out
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
