Every Breath You Take (The Police)

Sung by The Police on the band's 1983 album Synchronicity, written by Sting and Andy Summers, this was one of the biggest hits of 1983, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for eight weeks and the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. It also topped the Billboard Top Tracks chart for nine weeks. 
Sting won "Song of the Year" and The Police won "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" at the Grammy Awards of 1984 for "Every Breath You Take". The song ranked No. 84 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and No. 25 on Billboard's Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs. This song is considered to be The Police's signature song, and in 2010 was estimated to generate between a quarter and a third of Sting's music publishing income.  (source: en.wikipedia.org)

Lyrics:
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace

I keep crying baby, baby, please

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make, every step you take

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take, every move you make)
(Every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say)
(Every game you play, every night you stay)


I'll be watching you
(Every move you make, every vow you break)
(Every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say)
(Every game you play, every night you stay)


I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take, every move you make)
(Every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say)
(Every game you play, every night you stay)


I'll be watching you
(Every move you make, every vow you break)
(Every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you

I found it very true

Are you sometimes baffled by the many things you are doing or you got to do.
If yes, then what you need to learn is "How to Eat an Elephant?"
What I mean by eating an Elephant is that we can do even a humongous task, if we break it into small chunks and do one piece at a time.
Here is an article explaining how the multitasking habit of ours decreases our productivity.
Doing one thing at a time is important. (read here).
There also is a Zen proverb, "When walking, walk, when eating, eat."

Uma Thurman's Name

Ever wondered about the name of the famous actress Uma Thurman. I was delighted to find out the story behind her name.

Uma Thurman's Dad Robert Thurman is an academician and Buddhist Scholar. He gave his children a Buddhist upbringing. He named is daughter after the Tibetan Term, Dbuma Chenpo. (here 'db' is silent and the term means "The Great Middle Way"). And her full name is 'Uma Karuna Thurman'.

And interestingly, she spent some of her childhood in Almora, Uttarakhand, India. ( I suspect an Indian twist in the 'Karuna', "Karuna' in the Indian Language, Hindi, means 'Compassion').
There is no such thing as coincidence.
