Genius with No Boundaries

Rahman does it yet again.
Delhi 6 is a movie I have been awaiting with some excitement because of the interesting storyline (well, I have said that about so many movies this year and never got around to actually watching them…thus is life) and acting credits, but now the music is out and it has officially [...]

Ek Lau Is Tarah… :(

I have no words to describe my shock, confusion, anxiety, sorrow, and disappointment, my helplessness, my anger, my frustration, my irritation, at what is happening in my country now. I do now know how to voice my thoughts. I just follow the news and think, think, think constantly.
I just want to dedicate this to all [...]

Baat Niklegi…

Of this and that…

Meherbaan, A.R. Rahman, from Ada
All the time until I finally leave for HK is going to be very, very busy. Its already been quite full, although I’ve had more than my share of lazing around and aimlessly youtubing videos (speaking of which, I’m addicted to 우리 결흔했어요 (We Got Married): its reality television you [...]

Did You Forget? (Translation)

My post on Yoon Mi Rae probably gets the most hits on this blog (which is great, since it means more and more people are searching her out ). I thought I’d post up a translation of the lyrics of 잊었니 (Did you forget) for anyone looking out for it. Its pretty much a tearful, [...]

So its Friday! Thank the Lord for the end of a very long, very hard week. This weekend will fly by like every freaking weekend, but I’m so grateful for the 4 hour nap today (i have been constantly cold and shivering for like 3 days now, and i think its the tiredness. Finally warm [...]
