Kash Ye Pal...

Trying to work on True or False (the novel that has Jal the band as actual characters) and Sea of Benevolence (the third installment of my shape-shifter series) at the same time. It could actually work out pretty well if it wasn't for the fact that I'm also simultaneously watching a movie and working on this blog. Talk about multi-tasking. But hey, everyone needs a break, right? Considering that I'm smack-dab in the middle for each work, I might need a break, even if it only lasts a couple of hours. I can't stay away from writing for too long. That's why I love it so much. I just can't live without it.

Speaking of things I can't live without, Jal the band just released a new song, "Kash Ye Pal", which translates as "I Wish This Moment..." in English, and I will say this: I never thought a song would make me cry. Ever, especially since I'm really not all that emotional at all. But then I never thought I would write a novel with the band in it either. That's just how life is. At least I have a new song to add to my playlist for True or False, even if it does make me start crying every time I hear it. There's just so much emotion put into it, the singing, the lyrics, even the actual composition... Don't worry, I won't start singing it. In the words of Arisha Ali, "She sings like a sick yak." Of course, she was describing Saamiya, but she might as well have been describing me.
