Remember these songs?

Over a lazy weekend I realized that some songs which which we hum regularly just disappear from our memories. It's like every year we add a few more songs to our fav's but how many times do we actually remember each and every song which we professed was the best song ever :) ?

So this blog is a part of a series which Im dedicating to my fav's over the years ! Hope they rekindle some of your fav memories/songs too :)

SAAT SAMUNDAR : VISHWATMA....ooo man this song rocksss!!Cant stop humming whenever I listen to it.

2) WHO can beat Madhuri Dixit in this number.....I guess no one!!


3)Try beating this !


4) This song is here because LAMHE deserves a place in the hall of fame for its music!



There are more to come...I have to dig into some of my memories to find my fav's :( (NOW THATS BAD)
Till then,
Be Brave,Love life

New Year......What will it bring?

Wish you all a happy new year!
Its the change of a date again and I hope this year is better than the last one.I am working on a few constructive things at present and trying not to complain about the things that went wrong last year.A few routine changes have thankfully brought a change in my lifestyle. My new gym rocks and I am absolutely glad that I am no more a couch potato :-)

The weather is harsh again but my decision to suck it up and do my best to endure it is actually working. Yea, I can shovel my car out in 30 mins flat and No I Do NOT need a guy to help me out :-) Girl power !! ( Learnt how to shovel my car out right in my fourth year in Boston but never the less ....I can do it myself now)

My crock pot keeps me happily engrossed over the weekend and I am absolutely excited to try out new recipes in my humble kitchen.My new agenda....go to the bookstore in Brookline/Coolidge corner and start a collection of cookbooks .Watch out .......the next 'Julia Child' might be in the making :-)) .Cooking ...cooking...keeps me blissfully happy and destressed and I wonder if I chose a wrong profession being a researcher !

So till I blog next.....So Long

Be happy and Live Life,

Time ....so precious

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and I have time to write a blog. I guess that says a lot. The only thing I'm looking for in the 4 day break from routine life is some rest and some fun to go along with it. Travelling? Me?....absolutely not as I plan to wear my PJ's all day ,rest my feet on the recliner and forget the time. I have been collecting a few books in the past year and they deserve to be read in peace.I hope to find that peace in the next few days.

I had been busy with an assignment for the past 3 months and have almost finished it. Working on it all the time subconsciously has indeed exhausted me and now I am waiting for the results. But till then my goal is to keep myself distracted and not think about it.So what am I thinking to keep myself distracted??.....Here's a choice list

-Shopping....mmmmm....yea shopping rocks especially in thnxgiving!

-Read the books on my shelf....yea why not

-Bake! Bake ! I lovvee baking......cupcakes?

-Cook....YES! Buy a new Crock Pot....and experiment with the recipes.By December holidays...hope to be a pro with a few recipes.

-Improve my cardio fitness.....yea....yea...not bad.

-Not to forget...Mamma Mia and Lion King....NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

-If it snows....Shovel my car out ;-)

Now with enough things to do, I just realized I AM a BUSY person.2009 is almost done and I have absolutely no idea how it flew by. The time that we have is so precious but we hardly acknowledge it. I was distracted for most of the year and the year passed by as if I was in a daze. It's winter again and the talks for a next conference have surfaced again. I see myself staring at things which I think I just did. But clearly things around me are different and remind me of the time. The time that is so precious but wasted...by me? Wasted doing what?

But I hope to use my time wisely henceforth.At least not waste it by being in a daze.My list of things to do will keep me busy and the new plans I wish to materialize will keep me hopeful.

Use time wisely!!

Be brave, Love life

Seeking Happiness

I am writing back again after ages. The reason....I was plain busy. Anything interesting?....No the same old life but trying to live it the exciting way.

Some things needed some extra attention....like my LC machine for one which has been down for a month now.My car....dents just happen and need to be fixed and third ...myself.To get on with a normal life and balancing out the work-personal time tug of war, ultimately got myself enrolled in a swanky gym in the neighborhood.

Diwali was fun and hoping to have a good Thanksgiving. Nothing fancy... no guests I look forward to having,nothing thrilling. But trying not to be gloomy. As someone aptly said about me," You seek unhappiness....get over things"

Not that I took that comment to heart or 100% believed in it but yea I 'm keeping up with my life and not letting boredom drown me. And if you call that seeking happiness....then yes I am seeking happiness :-)

Be Brave,Love Life

Life is beautiful

I wonder to how many friends have I told that I love and miss Mumbai everyday of my life. I do and I will. But there is a new addition to that list. I'll miss Boston if I ever leave it. I will. I know. I am getting used to Boston and the cute routine we have here. Friday evenings at 4 P Rd are a ritual and we all wait for that Friday evening where we regulars meet and just chat about our week.It lasts for 2 hrs max, 10 pm and everyone has either left or I am dozing in my bed with my buddies still chatting along.I hardly remember walking them out to the door most of the times as I am the first one to doze off:){Friday evenings aren't made for me to be awake}

You tube acts as our jukebox and every Friday evening I spend with my 'regulars' with no pretence, in my pajamas,caring the least about my 'zombied' appearance till their chatter puts me to sleep. This is my kind of Friday and we hope to have such for a long long time.

Cheers,
Life is Beautiful,
Be Brave,

A lazy Sunday afternoon

I am writing this blog on a Sunday afternoon . I want to just laze around and bother about nothing but there are still chores to be done. Browsing through the music I have, I am trying to find some soothing music...something that'll help me relax. I have tried about 10 songs of different types but nothing suits my taste. Then somehow a playlist I had made long time back starts playing and there I have my songs which calm be down in an instant. Any guesses which ones??

KK and RD Burman ...my saviors and the album that soothed me : 'Kati Patang' .I am surprised as to how can the music of a film released even before I was born could have such an effect on me. Maybe its the music of some music maestros which lasts forever. 'Ye shaam mastani' , 'Ye jo mohabbat hai' and 'Pyaar deewana hota hai' takes me to a different relaxing trance which is not attained by any other album. I am now getting back to my chores before I need a kick of a good coffee to get me going.

Here's the video from youtube but though I dislike Rajesh Khanna , I still love the music. So here's song of the day

Be Brave, Love life,It's worth it
