It gets better everytime! To give you a clue, I’m talking about music. So whats new? @hnprashanth gifted me a last.fm subscription! That means I can listen to non-stop, personalised radio! I also get ad-free browsing and streaming & listen to stations of music I’ve loved/tagged. I’m loving it so far!
My last.fm account was created a long time back [when I was on blogger, used yahoo messenger and orkut :-\]. You can check it out here.
Hot stuff on my playlist: Deep Purple, Lifehouse, Junkyard Groove [11:11 bootleg is out for free download, go get it!], Goo Goo Dolls [there is more to them than Iris, if thats the only track you've heard] and a ‘lil bit of others.
So seems like north India has cooled down atlast. I’m getting to see pictures of rain everywhere. Thats good. The weather down here in Bangalore is pleasant [as always] but the only biggest annoying thing are the power cuts. Whats worse is that they don’t cut it on one go, like for a few hours continuously. They cut it every 5- 20 minutes and just when you feel happy that its back, puff! It goes again. In the meantime, I get completely lost and fidgety and act drunk trying to throw things at my poor grandma 
Give me some suggestions as to what I can do during the power cuts? Please don’t say “read” coz I have already read 4 books by Sheldon and am currently reading “A Thousand Splendid Suns” [I simply can't get to finish this, it is too sad and too plain. Not my type]. My mom thinks learning to cook is a good idea. I do not want to chop vegetables, mix spices and fry them till they get brown/black/whatever!!! Holidays get worse with power cuts. Humph.

Hmm..why don’t you draw something or well spend time on messing up your messed up art a little more

cooking with no power is like hell!! unless u have an air conditioned kitchen. but yes at other times cooking can be a very satisfying experience!

Perx – Aye! Broken Strings =\
Oh, I’m just finding reasons now!! This is #fail.
I need to be able to play the existing tunes first to be ‘inventing’ new ones sir!
Vishesh – Draw? Are you freakin’ kidding me? Thats boring!
Reema – Oh thats not the problem at all. Its really chilly in Blore right now! With the rains and all…kitchen is a cool place.
Don’t say that! Cooking = satisfying? Gulp!

My suggestion for you is, better you assemble with your family members on the terrace and have a nice chat with everyone as this may be a appropriate time for such things,If not take your mobile or i pod to the terrace and listen to some music this helps you to relax your mind and you will get a clear idea to think about your future posts.I have already linked to your blog, if you are interested visit my blog and if you like you can add my link in your blog.

What cooled down. It’s still bloody hot as ever. Delhi is, at least.
You could write lyrics for songs perhaps. Or do what I did. Get your bicycle and ride and explore new places. Biking is fun.

Anirudh and Amit – Oh God!! I_don’t_sleep even during the nights. I so can’t sleep in day light.
Perx – Ok boss, will try it out!
Pakistani plays? :-O
A Nerd Anarch – Bah!
Rajkumar – I am talking about the DAY TIME. If I go to the terrace in the afternoons, maybe I’ll never come back down!
Sneezy – Arrey, me talking abut Bangalore! I din’t know Delhi is still hot. Even after the rains? :-O
I would be lucky if I survived biking in B’lore traffic!
7 July, 2009 at 10:33 am
What rains. One or two drizzles here and there. That’s it!
Hehe. You think Delhi’s traffic is any better? But I usually go to places where people don’t usually go. So that satisfies exploration + no traffic

Agree with Sneezy Melon. In the NCR, traffic rules are as good as non existent. At times, I think that most people are US returnees
You should learn cooking. Cooking is fun. If the food tastes awful, there is always the good old Pizza boy to go back to.
Last.fm is awesome. PERIOD.

@ Sneezy – I’d LOVE to go out of city for some time. Sigh.
@ Perx – Ok!!
@ Milcom – Hahaha. That reminded me of what my dad says- “If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere in the world!”
But that same thing isn’t true the other way round!!
Cooking…err…urm…yeah….
Pizza is good!! =D

Kinda weird, but I do it sometimes!
Take pictures of candle, flame & objects in candle light mode!
There’s also “Candle Light Mode” on my camera which I always test in power cuts!!
