I’d been meaning to start a blog for a long time. But never got around to really doing it. My laziness is to blame. Now that I’ve finally posted my first blog, I hope I can keep up.
There have been some major upheavals in my life of late (and some more to come). Hence the blog title. I was really ill sometime back- dengue. The first thought that crossed my head when I got to know was ‘God! dengue sounds so unsophisticated’. During my college days I wanted to get hospitalized just to know how my well wishers I’d receive (“market value” as one of my friends put it). Well, my wish was granted but a bit too late. I did get quite a few phone calls but expecting my friends to come over from Mumbai or Bangalore would be overkill. My mom did come over and for a few days I was treated to her cooking. And unlike the last time she visited in May, I got to spend quite some time with her. And now I’m the butt of mosquito jokes in office.
I’ve also finally finished my “new” portfolio for my post graduate admissions in the USA. For those in the dark, I plan to do my masters in urban planning or urban design in Fall 2009. I’m still groping as to what to do with my life and I hope this would nudge me onto the right direction. But I’m digressing- just the day before falling ill, I got back my laptop with a new hard disk. The older one had crashed and all my hardwork went down the drain (not to mention my Johnny Cash and Assamese song collection). After a lot of crying over split milk- rather lost work-, I finally got down to recreating my portfolio and now it’s done. One task off the list.
And since I’m speaking of new things, let me sign off by recommending the mint fresh soundtrack of “Yuvvraaj”. A. R. Rahman and Gulzar are in fine fettle with some gorgeous tracks. If you like elaborate orchestral arrangements and rich western music, you’ll like this. The trailers don’t do justice to the soundtrack though. I hope that the movie lives up to the music.
