its a sunday but feels like a monday......

whether it is the weather or whether it is not, i do not know.
There is this characteristic Monday-morning-soulful-mournfulness around.The birds seem to have lost all hope too, there starts another week, they seem to say.
Im sitting on the dining table, a change of place from my room next-door; overlooking the "garden" down below (though hardly one now,its a mess ) and the "chaath"/terrace on the right...i hear a crow crowing and the flatter of a pigeon's wings as it flies past......

Its a sunday but feels like a monday..still.

hell! the crows seem to be having some sort of a congregation; suddenly i hear a huge number of them..well...crowing! what else do they do!? Do they "croak"? nope frogs "croak" i think...anyways..

Its a sunday but (still) it feels like a monday.

...the crow is crowing still.........

(to be contd....i think)

...and i sang along...

Has it ever happened to you: something mundane that has happened somewhere makes you connect it to life's bigger examples?

This time it was a mere Cd that prompted me to procrastinate...on greater significances...and i can see i am already gearing up towards complex reasoning!

.....This always happens to me whenever i keep any high expectations of anything...and this time round too, it wasnt any different.
The more i expect, the more dissappointed i become.

Well, sorry but its nothing serious as it sounds...case in point is just a 2 pack Cd called "Laya Project" based on the musical journey of folk communities along the coastal belts where the tsunami's path had crossed and cancelled lives and habitat; Now the point is, i am usually very particular about the music i buy, since most of the times, after a patient wait, one ends up getting hold of the Mp3..but this time, i had tried and tried in vain, and anyway this was "hatke music" not to be found in usual limewires and torrents hence i bought the cd yesterday...I wont say it was a disaster (nothing i do ever is!...leaving all modesty aside..its overrated!) but it certainly was nothing like the glimpses and clips i had heard in their website or perhaps the songs weren't organised effeciently...maane, the sequence of the songs in the cd was such that it doesnt hold your interest for long.But having said that, i will listen to it..if played at the right time and mood, i dont think it would sound that bad.

Now now...i don't mean to dissuade anybody from buying the Cd...go right ahead...the dvd is even better i think, it has some interesting videos during and while shooting.
This sort-of-banter was just to explain a simple point: do not have high expectations, you could end up being dissappointed. That's all!

1000 bucks and more = an organised life

- did'nt know "organising" one's life was so expensive.Case in point is the Filofax organiser diary i had spotted at a bookstore counter yesterday... it was only yesterday that the thought struck me (a friend commented that it was quite a PJ) that organising one's life is indeed expensive and one has to actually pay a little over (depending on the size of "organisation" required) 1000 bucks to get one's life in order.
Another one was my "parrot dairy" by design temple that i had started using last year( i am waiting to buy this year's ..don't think "normal" bookstores stock it in Kolkata..the key word being "in kolkata"!) its a bit more sophisticated for this place: neat graphics and humour all in place.
