‘Bulbs’ galore!

Imagine making a whole lot of silly mistakes all through the day in every single thing you do! While it’s easy to try to take it lightly and laugh and forget it all, when the same thing happens the next day too, you end up feeling as though you’re the stupidest person you know! Two days in a row is too much to take. Hope this doesn’t continue tomorrow as well! I have had enough bulbing moments!

sudu thaNNi suDu thaNNi aahaa!

This line in the very-frequently-aired advertisement of ‘Alive’ coffee seems to be the most-heard line on every other channel! Couldn’t help remembering it as I drank a cup of piping-hot water which felt heavenly for my throat, which is on the verge of being struck by cold. Inhaling the steam and later drinking the hot water is one of those unsuccessful attempts at trying to ward-off the cold & fever. But nothing works like Vicks and a good night’s sleep. Falling asleep with the aroma of Vicks engulfing you is pure bliss! Good Night, folks!

P.S.: The last few weeks have been a mix of hectic, fun-filled, memorable & great days. I am really trying hard to get back to regular blogging. Let’s see if it happens at least this month.

It can’t get better than this!

10 whole days of doing nothing other than attending concerts and lec-dems has come to an end! And there couldn’t have been a better ending to it than a T.M.Krishna’s concert and a Sanjay’s concert back to back! All the 15 concerts of Sanjay this December Season, 6 full concerts and an hour and a half of 2 concerts of T.M.Krishna – what a month this has been!

A Pointless Rant

You are most welcome to skip reading this post!

You are in your 20s, you have at least one thing in your life about which you complain and grumble about often, you are kind of stuck in a comfort zone from which you are not sure if you want to come out or not and you have many friends who are also sailing on the same boat. Now what happens when you get together with any of the friends? Or what happens when any of the friends gets some forward mail which gives all the gyaan about how you should be living your life being contented with what you have or about how you should be enjoying all those small happy moments/things in life?

3 yrs!

2006 was a year that was filled with loads of happy, unforgettable memories and happenings. Among the numerous good things that happened to me in that year, my blog is also one. 3 years it has been since I finally decided to give blogging a try after putting an end to thoughts of what I will have to write/blog about. And today I owe each one of you a very big thank you for making my blog one of the things I feel good about at the end of the day. And a big thanks to my blog too for giving me some wonderful friends and acquaintances. Here’s to more ARR’s music, Mani Ratnam’s movies, Sanjay’s & TMK’s singing, sunrise/sunsets :P ! :) Happy Birthday, my blog! :)

Weekend

Watching one of my favourite old movies, Parichay on Filmy channel, guitar practice after a long time and watching the one-hour programme on Orissa on Discovery Channel which has now made me add to Orissa to the looong list of places I want to visit someday – these are the only things worth mentioning about the typical lazy Saturday that today was, when I wasn’t in the mood to even step out of home.

It looks like tomorrow might be a day in complete contrast to today, thanks to

  • Sriram V’s talk on ‘C. Saraswathi Bai, First Lady Bhagavatar’ at 9.45 am (Bharat Sangeet Utsav)
  • Sriram Parasuram’s lec-dem on ‘Rakti ragas in Hindustani & Carnatic Music’ from 11.00 am – 12:30 pm (Bharat Sangeet Utsav)
  • Concert of Anil Srinivasan with the NalandaWay All Girls Children Choir at 6:30 pm at Sir Mutha VenkataSubba Rao concert Hall. Seems some Bharatiar’s compositions will be performed in this concert.

Let’s see if things go as per plans.. Happy Sunday to you all! :)
