Alright, alright...I am still around. The sun has finally emerged in our very-Seattle-ish part of the country and all is well with the world now.
The only way to begin a comeback is with a serving of this and that, which officially will now be converted into a series...and counting.
-I watched 'Blue' and 'Ajab Prem ki ghazab kahani' this weekend. Watched 'Wake up Sid' some weeks ago. Loved the music of Blue, thanks to ARR. I am now a big fan of Ranbir Kapoor- the boy's got oodles of potential and talent. Wake up Sid was simple, cute and relatable- specially Konkona's character. APKGK(which would be ajab prem etc etc) was another simple movie, much like Welcome to Sajjanpur. Simple, quirky, funny- no great and complicated story line here. A simple love story. [I have noted the number of times I've used the word simple- that's exactly 5, counting the last one]
- On the reading scene, there hasn't been a lot of traction. I am now deeply entrenched in painting(yes, the art kind) and of course farming.
- Leaves have now been shed in the yard and I have officially turned into the leaf-packer of my adda. I can speak intelligently about raking leaves and using an electric blower. Hallelujah!
- Can you believe it's Thanksgiving already? Where did the year go? On the bright side, I'll be home for Christmas.
- Have you listened to the music of Paa yet? No? You should- its awesome! Listen to it here for now, then go grab a CD on Dec 6.
Enough about me, now y'all tell me what you've been upto. What's the plan for Thanksgiving? Doing anything fun?
Talk to me!
My next to-do is to change the blog header. Something fall-ish me's thinking. Sound good? Catch y'all in a bit. Till then take care and shabba khair.
Of this and that- 1

Praveen : Did check out your review. Its obvious you are know more about Ilayaraja's music than I am or ever will be. So it was useful. Thanks and welcome here :)
Sujatha : Cooking? Heh my kitchen has been scrubbed squeaky clean and has been under-utilized for some months now. Just cos you asked, I'll post weekend updates- promise!
:)
did you listen to the originals, composed using acoustic instruments, while Paa is electronic. The difference is amazing!
