So treat this as my last post. I guess I Read the rest of this entry »

I saw my blogs today… … all three of them.
And I sat still… .. gazing at the screen. I wondered about the people who read my blog. Looking at my clustermap, I marveled at the dots on it. Brazil, Peru, Canada, Paris, Germany, China, Honolulu, even Iceland !

I have been listening and humming the songs which I generally don’t; not in this order and definitely not in one single playlist !! I am playing them in loop; loud on my speakers and folks at home are as clueless as I.

To give you a glimpse, here’s my list. Now, don’t laugh. Believe me; they’ll take anyone on top of this world.

I was to catch evening flight to Mumbai. Noon time, scorching sun over my head, I was in a hurry to make most of the time left. My hands were full with shopping bags and even though I wanted to buy the whole market, I was wondering how to carry it with me.
