Music Tag...Redone!

I was browsing through my old archives and found an old music tag that I had done. Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm and then answer some questions. My top ten list has changed considerably since then and I think its interesting enough (at least for me!) to do again. The 2006 June list is shown and the 2007 list is shown below. And the tag too! The List as on June 2006 Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm 1. The Beatles -235 2. Led Zeppelin -144 3. AC/DC -138 4. Jethro Tull -110 5. Metallica -100 6. The Doors -92 7.

Changes

Couple of additions to the blog! Couple of new widgets from Last.fm . One list my top artists of the month and the second is a music player playing the songs I have playlisted. Player can either play the songs in their entirety in a shuffled mode or you can individually select the songs. In the latter event only a 30 second clipping will be played. Only a few soft songs has been selected for your auditory pleasure ;-) No hard rockers or heavy metal stuff! And oh yeah! I turned 23 a couple of days back! So happy birthday to me! Rock On...

El Driver!

It was about time... Rockus looks like a brute and at times down right menacing! Someone who rides a H.O.G or a J.C.B ! :-P Reality...He has ridden/driven: 1. Suzuki Samurai at the Age of 15 (4 Yards) 2. Honda Activa at the Age of 21 (40 Yards) 3. Maruti 800 at the Age of 8 (400 Yards...if you count holding the steering as driving :-D) The Ek Karod ka Sawaal! What? Why? Why not? (granted there is three...but the booty is large enough to justify it!) 1. He doesn't like meddling with others stuff... 2. He didn't have time for driving classes... 3. He was just plain lazy to learn since he couldn't afford to buy a bike... Now... Staring at a Bullet (with apprehension and a pair of very scared parents!) P.S: In short, I started taking driving lessons and doing quite ok. Just hope the pedestrians feel the same too! :-P

Duh!

Just sitting here screaming on top of my voice along with Ozzy Osbourne (Paranoid is the song fyi) makes me wonder...how my neighbours are standing this unearthly sounds at this ungodly hour??? People are strange...me, you, everybody... I always wondered, how easily some people make conversation and drag on for hours...and here I am, just able to converse enough to save my life! Its a crappy feeling sometimes...still...people are different... I used to be very worried about the same thing when I was younger. Thought of myself as a loser and was too shy to do anything...I have changed over the period of time and feels pretty smug about myself these days! Even then I couldn't feel reminiscing about the days when I hear "How soon is now?" by The Smiths...A remarkable song indeed... This is a video from Youtube featuring a sitcom called Charmed. Apparently Charmed features a cover version of the song and people decided to do one with the original song...Anyways enjoy the grea...

An Apology...

First of all, my sincere apologies to a particular girl whom I named in my blog in a not so great context (albeit some 18 months ago...) If the lady wishes, I will take down that particular section...Anyway thanks for visiting my blog! And thank you for not taking it negatively... I was a young and restless brat then! Now I am older and wiser! :-P Couple of lessons learned here... 1. Don't name strangers in your blog thinking they don't exist! 2. Blog is a permanent record...A mark left is a mark left.(atleast for me...) P.S: If you have no idea what I am talking about...the better!

Back Again...

Hmm...This place is familiar! Wait a minute...its my blog! Haven't been posting for a long time now...I swear I will be back in action. Was plain lazy all these time...For now enjoy some snaps from my Kumarakam Trip couple of weeks back. Mr.Money in the Bank! Thats our boat... Boat needed a live mast... Hot Blazing Sun...Luckily we had plenty of beer! Your Truly... Lots of scenic visuals like these...most of the time we were too drunk to enjoy it :-P Anchors out! Pit stop to buy some Naadan Kallu! :-D The Famous Karimeen! Enroute to Kallushaap! End of the Day...A glorious one...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
