Free voucher

I won a Radio One voucher today. The question was simple - Which of the 2 songs 'Aanewala pal' and 'Rimjhim Gire Saawan' would be played as the 13th song on the radio station. I answered 'Rimjhim', another caller - Ekta answered 'Aanewala pal'. Luckily I won! I get a voucher for the Little Italy restaurant in Pune.

I have never ever done anything like this...When my brobs heard my sound on the radio, (we were busy doing shopping), he freaked out. Probably both the songs are my favourites; so I just subconsciously chose a song and sent the sms. An unplanned move that earned me a free voucher :D

Soccer fever

The soccer fever seems to have caught the young and the old like :) What got me into the groove, however, was the promotional song for the 2010 FIFA world cup. K'naan's waving flag seems to be just right for the event. The mood, the tempo all fit beautifully and creates a beautiful melody. Yeah, they have modified the original song to remove the dark portions of the lyrics and its rightly called the 'Celebration Mix'.

Give me freedom, give me fire,
give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now,
you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surround us, every nations, all around us

When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag.......




p.s. Check the original song here.

Nadal wins French Open 2010

I wanted Soderling to capture the Roland Garros but the king of clay proved his mettle and beat Soderling to regain his favourite trophy. Yeah! he also too back the world no. 1 spot with that win.
The grass courts beckon my favourite! Eagerly waiting for the original lawn tennis tournament - Wimbledon

Foot in the mouth

Nikhil (exasperated): Who the hell has written this piece of junk? Unnecessarily complicated the simple workflow.
Mahesh(who happens to be Nikhil's boss): Me. What happened?
Nikhil: Nothing man!!! Watched a late night movie yesterday, so didn't sleep well. Even simple things seem to appear complicated today.

Moral:Thou shall be careful with those who earneth a higher basic pay ;)

Federer out :(

Soderling did it again! Federer's clay performance hasn't really been inspiring but let's see if Soderling manages to upset the king of clay - Nadal, as he did last year.

With my favourite out even before the quarters I am hoping Justin Henin does some magic. After all she is one of the most successful Roland Garros player.

Update: Henin is out too, I had missed the match :(
