Écoutez!

Finally.... RADiOVERVE the website that plays songs made only by independent Indian artists... an amazing collection of music (no bollywood, no hindi yet) ... My favorites ... There's a Konkani channel... finally a way to still keep in touch with my roots.. Even better a Gospel channel... man Benny Prasad(I adore thee), Swapna Abraham (that angelic voice... haven't heard better) just too good. That not all... there are 6 different genre as of today... The look and feel of the website is just great... To say I personally know (n taught) some of the ppl who made this place happen gives me a lot of pride :) Keep up the good work guys...

Random Thoughts...

Took the bus to the university alone this morning... as usual some random thoughts just passed by... the girl next to me was so engrossed in reading her book... and the guy next to me suddenly screamed out 'YES!' after he finished a call... to say the joy was shown all over his face would be an understatement. ... What happened next can only in techie terms be described as 'uncorrelated' to what preceded... I happened to realise the no matter how anybody said the word 'yes' it was always written the same way... we never bother about the accent, expression, the length of utterance .... its just written as a plain 'yes'. Its just up to the reader to get a feel of what kind of 'yes' it was. Yeah a pictorial description like a single cartoon makes an amazing difference in the way we perceive the 'yes' the author is trying to describe exactly. This is why i think reading a book is really much different from watching the movie based on the book. I watched 'Sphere' before reading the book and all i could imagine the characters to be when i finally read it were the same actors... (it is always a pleasure to think of Sharon Stone!!!) What in the world had happened to my sense of imagination?! we never realise this but there could be two people sitting right next to each other reading the same book and either of them has a very individualistic impression of what's happening.... The chances of 100 ppl watching the same moive in 100 different ways is definately a nothing! seriously all u see isTHE director's point of view! So the next time you think about watching a movie based on a book and wanna read the book too, make sure u get the order right. Else its really not worth reading it at all... The answer to the previous post will be up soon... no correct answers yet! :'(

Bus... time hai kya...

Walk to a bus stop and u suddenly realise you might just have missed a bus... and the next one doesn't come until 20 more mins... Many a times i have just missed the bus ... and usually its on a day when i'm already late... 2 days ago i found this cool way of knowing when to land at the bus stop to catch the bus right in time.... If u travel using an SBS bus everyday, and dont mind spending a minute to check the net.... then this is the place to visit before you start from home or office... SBS Transit IRIS Nextbus system If you think u still have time left ... play some music, drink another cup of water... or just stroll arnd in ur living room... for all u know u might even have enough time to read another of my posts :-) happy travelling!
