This is for you Badri......
Anyway, I have been so terribly busy at work recently that all I can do, once I reach home each day is eat as much as I can and flop on the couch and stare at the TV with Glassy eyes.... Which basically means that I haven't had the time to do any of the things I really enjoy except updating facebook frequently and happily twittering at the Gay joke overkill in Scrubs..... However, I do manage to sneak some time in to reading Perdido Street station on my new Kindle.... That reminds me, I need to buy a cover for the Kindle...
Anyway.... in other news..The independent thinks that All about Eve is the greatest movie ever.... Don't take me wrong... This is one movie that I really enjoy(I've seen it like ten times and yes, I own a copy) and Bette Davis is hands down my fav actress... like ever..... but is it really better than Breakfast at Tiffany's or My fair lady? hmmmmm... But this list has several underrated gems here... Some I havent even heard of(The battle of Algiers, anyone?)....
So... anyway, other than some light reading, the only activity I've had some time for is Music.
Masterplan by the My Morning Jacket is still one of my favourite songs with the worst lyrics ever
What is it about the female voice that is so damn heartrending? Florence and the Machine is not great.... but what a wonderful name?
The Guardian is running a series on the best albums of the decade.... Is it wrong that I find Amy Winehouse Hot?
Another band with a fabulous name- Rupa and the April Fishes... Where do they come up with such names? Listen to Maintenant.. they are good... I think the language is French...... Sounds like something from one of those movies set in the 30's with a sexy actress playing a singer in a club....
... and finally, I've been listening to Carmina Burana.... Carl Orff's version..... O Fortuna is probably my favourite piece of classical music along with Queen of the Night aria in The Magic Flute.....

Hey da thanx for the blog... How's the Kindle working..? You could've bought the Sony one.. heard you can transfer your pdf files from the comp. to the Sony one. Kindle, i understand, does not allow that... True?
No problem da.... Epdi irukka? Kindle is awesome..... Having fun with it....
Kindle also allows transfers(after conversion to ePub)... In fact most of the books that I read are word or pdf documents converted to the epub format
