Mr Steve Ballmer, among other things, had a taste of what its like to be the target of a egg missile in Budapest - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtBQ4UCXQeo. All in a day's work!!
Song of the day: In my dreams by REO Speedwagon. REO S has produced some lovely ballads and this one is one of the best. They dont have too many popular songs but the ones that are popular, are amazing!

Is this the summer season or the sad season?
My efforts at getting a good break have come to nothing, it appears. That was especially sad because I usually tend to treat those lows as big personal failures. Be that as it may, life goes on. But dont let that news worry you, here are a few news worthy things that you might be interested in.
a) YSL left for heavenly above last week. I am a few galaxies away from fashion and I must admit I dont understand the fuss that some of this clothing creates but well, I am sure they are very precious and represent the best of artistic genius. Might interest you to know that YSL was placed at the helm of Christian Dior at the age of just 21. Amazing.
b) My downloads have taken a bit of a detour towards Devotional and English Classical. So lots of Bach, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Beethowen and their ilk making their way into my collection as are artistes like Krishna Das, Mandolin Srinivas, M Balamuralikrishna & Anup Jalota.
Song of the day: Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi - Kylie Minogue.
One of the first Stock Aitken Waterman hits that I ever heard and got me completely hooked. My musical tastes have travelled far from those days but this song, despite its chocolate sound and schoolboy lyrics, is something that I really like. Kylie, ofcourse, has come a long way from being that shy neighbor-ish girl to become this sexy sytle icon that she now is. That image has only got better with her hitting 40 and her widely publicized fight against breast cancer.

Things that kept me busy or are keeping me busy
Extending the objective of this blog to serve as an online diary of my daily chores, here's a run down on the stuff thats keeping me tied up these days.
a) An MRI reveals that I have a Slipped Disc. Therefore, staying at home.
b) Playing or trying to play "Sparkling Stella" on my Givson.
c) Waiting to hear from some really elusive and hard-to-please companies that refuse to tell me if they are hiring me.
d) Working from home
e) Downloading more stuff from P2P sites

- Among some of the quirkier stuff that I have read on the Net lately, there is this woman who wants a boob job like no other. All salivating souls, please google her name - Sheyla Hershey
- Tania Zaetta insists she did not sleep around with the Australian Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Read more by clicking this link - http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23750747-5000117,00.html

Quiet Anticipation
Some situations in life are unlike any other. The silent anticipation and hope that you live by seems to transcend every other emotion. So while you are sitting there listening to your favorite music or hanging out with good folks, the thought of what could be is very overpowering.
Anticipation, in this context, is not about laying a woman or whispering those words into your beloved's ear. I am above and beyond that. I am talking professional stuff. You will know what I mean if you revisit these pages. For now, as I said, it is all about that wait.
Song of the day: Get me Novocaine - Green Day. Green Day is one of my favorite bands and this song is one of my all time cool listens. Sheer magic of the guitar solo in the beginning and ofcourse, the mesmerizing Mr Billy Joe. That is such a great combination. Till later then, Cheers!!

Random day, random post
a) Kids are cute and when do something really sweet like singing "Hey Jude" with twice as much passion as the Beatles, you cant beat it. Here is a peek and if you dont find this charming, chances are you are either a serial killer or a just-out-on-parole psychopath.

b) For some unknown reason, I want to eat Fondue. I am not too much of a globe trotter. In fact, that phrase has no meaning for me. But on the select occasions when I have stepped out and had something different to eat, some memories have stuck and some have fallen by the wayside.
Fondue is a great community dish and tastes great, especially if you like cheese and bread. Well, they are the two most common things that go into the dish and you can read up more, as usual on Wikipedia.

c) Morning greeted me with rain but somehow, that Ah! factor was missing. Good enough a reason for me to realize that I am somehow taking on life more seriously than I should. Whats life anyway without soaking in the joy of watching a mild shower, appreciating the flowers on the trees or listening to a calm ocean. Need that appreciation back and really soon!
Song of the day: Clarity by John Mayer.
John Mayer is one of the more casual and neighborhood kind of guys who has a voice to die for and is considered one of the better guitar players around today. No wonder, Ms Aniston has got a thing going with him lately. This song is a good example of his skills - vocal and guitar.

Song of the day: Timeless by Armin Van Buuren. I am not too much of a trance / club floor enthusiast but this track is one of the few ones that really takes me in.

Weekend again!
Sometimes I wonder if I should offer opinions and comments in the first person or just a narration as an outsider. Whichever way I choose to do it, I hope it makes sense and it stays readable. Ok here goes.
a) Yesterday, I took Sonny Boy I to one heck of a movie called Speed Racer. Nice visuals and graphics but overall, pretty disappointing movie that comes from the Disney stable.
b) Unrelated event but mentionable - Shania Twain has divorced Robert "Mutt" Lange. Hmmm.. the woman who sings out so regularly about love, understanding and relationships doesnt seem to have practiced her preaching.
c) Recommendation Time - VerveEarth is an interesting website you might want to look at. The site plots the content of the internet on an interactive map of the world.
d) Lastly and most interestingly, ahem, Drugs. A recent news report on one of the leading news channels talks about stuff called I Dose that administers sound using Binaural Technology - this uses sounds to synchronize your brainwaves and supposedly replicate the effects of everything from alcohol upwards and can also simulate states of dreaminess. Period. Not saying anymore.
Song of the Day: The only living boy in New York - Simon & Garfunkel.
