People I Hang Out With

Everyone loves beer and rock music. Everyone thinks Jimi Hendrix to be the baap of his times. Ditto for Janis Joplin. Santana plays the guitar like God. Kurt Cobain makes everyone curious. Everybody loves to hate Himesh Reshammiya. And Rakhi Sawant. Gulzar is synonymous with Hindi film music and poetry. Ayn Rand is everyone's idol. Or at least was. Everybody loved Requiem For A Dream. And Fight Club. Everyone read Amar Chitra Katha in school. The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Collection is on everyone's wishlist. Robert Frost's words inspire everyone. Everyone wants to own a house in Goa. Some prefer one up in the hills. Everyone agrees that Delhiites are snobs and Mumbaiyyas are miserly. Everybody has at least three credit cards and the next is going to be an Amex. The Swift is the prettiest looking small car, Skoda the most reliable and everyone will recognize a yellow Lamborghini. Friends is the best sitcom of all times and everyone has DVDs back home. And favorite episodes. John Abraham is the hottest. Abhishek Bacchan too. So is Katrina Kaif. Golmaal and Hera Pheri is always funny. The N Series is uber cool. Everyone thinks they are underpaid and overworked. Everyone wants to love and everybody loves to hate...

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone ...
