So here’s a list of few songs I discovered recently through TV and liked enough to listen again (and mention here!):

1. Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club: I really like this song. The video isn’t too bad either.

2. Walking on a Dream by Empire of The Sun: Very trippy, very M83-ish. The video is extremely weird though.

3. Bonafide Lovin’ by Chromeo: A funny song! The video here is a fan video but suits the song very well.

4. Let Your Love Grow Tall by Passion Pit: This is a happy song. Again, its an amateur video that suits the song pretty well.

5. Only Man by Audio Bullys: The song’s alright but the video is really cool!

Honorable mentions:

Run by Stephen Fretwell: Theme song of ‘Gavin & Stacie’
One Way Road by Paul Weller: Theme song of ‘Lead Balloon’

Based on my interactions with the shop owners/attendants, auto drivers, service reps, people offering their apartments on rent and some general public, I find most people in Hyd to be lazy, unhelpful and a tad incompetent. But then maybe it’s too early to form an opinion. I am open to giving the city a chance to redeem itself.

Things are good otherwise. I have started working out again, determined to los all the excess fat that I have accumulated in the last couple of months. My parents are visiting me right now and life is fun. The brilliant weather adds to it. Oh, and I love my house! 

I plan to start lots of new things/activities soon to make life interesting again (the title probably gave away the non-imaginative state I’m in) because I really miss my life before MBA that I left behind in Bangalore. And I need to do enough to justify having done whatever I did in the last two years. And I need to do it fast!

I was looking at some old pictures and found this picture I took about 2 years ago of my favorite road in Bangalore. Now, doesn’t it look beautiful?

It was a nice, clean, treelined road with little traffic. It was absolutely serene and perfect for evening walks. For the curious folks, this is 3rd Cross, Kalyan Nagar (see it on Google Maps), very close to where I used to live.

Apartment Therapy has this ongoing contest where people share pictures of thier small rooms and visitors vote to decide which is the coolest of them all. Winner or not, most of these rooms are supercool! So check it out!

For years, I had only one icon on my desktop, the recycle bin. And when I found that Rainmeter can help me get rid of it, I wasted no time in customizing it to suit my needs. Windows 7 has already made the desktop cleaner and Rainmeter filled in the gaps. And what I like the most about the desktop is the beautiful ‘Lexis’ clock on the top right and the iTunes mini control bar on the bottom left.

Very apt for the current transitional phase in my life.

Thanks to all the photos, I can go back in time and relive the fantastic year I had at ISB. Take a look at all the pictures of the campus here.

Now that the roller coaster ride that I got on 11 months ago is about to come to an end, I feel its time to return to regular blogging. But honestly, me being busy in studies wasn’t the only reason for the sharp decline in the number of posts recently. Another major reason was that writing a full fledged post almost seemed like a big task rather than something fun.

So to keep the blog alive (and real), I’ll soon be making a major change to the way I blog. So be ready for it!
