Music or chocolate?!



If I had to chose between Music and Chocolate, which one ?! (This is just purely for discussion purpose,
God please don't let me ever have to chose)

For anyone who knows me well, you'll know how much I love my chocolate.

But this is a good discussion, cause I love my music too. I was a born into a music family. My dad used to
have a collection of 1000+ cassettes back in the days and my brother when he was in school used to save his pocket money every month and buy the latest released music cassette for his own small collection. He used to even record mixed compilation tapes for the neighbors and charge them Rs. 30 for each tape :)

So I've always had music daily in my lives. Every morning before Dad left for work and every evening once he was back from work. I always followed all the MTV and [V] music charts and even knew all the new songs before they were released locally through the Billboard Top 100 charts.

When I left home for hostel to pursue my graduation, I had my music system packed with me :) I remember being the first and only girl in the hostel to have a music system :) Listening to music has always been a hobby. During my studying days and even once I started to work. Keeps me company on my long drives to work and meetings.

Music is in blood...... cant stop myself from humming a tune now and then ...or even nodding my head to a famous tune in a bar...

I'm not saying I'll be happy to give up my chocolate, But my life would be depressing without any music.
So if i had to choose, I would have to chose music over chocolate. I think Music was always my first love
and first loves are never forgotten ;)

Imagine a life without a tune or any rhythm ..how boring ! no ! turn the music on !

Eggs Benedict discovered in Seattle !!




It was when I was in Seattle in Aug 2011, that I came across this delicious egg dish.

I was in Seattle for one of my closest and oldest friends Wedding…….. Love the town….a perfect blend of nature and city life….with its famous Space needle (which reminds me of ‘Fraser’) ……Pike's Market Place with the talented street performers……the yumm Piroshky’s ….(The beef and cheese one was delicious but the Marzipan one was OMG yummmmilicious)……the First Starbucks….and my favorite – ‘The Gum Wall’.






On the last day I had a chance to visit ‘Lola’ where we had brunch….that’s where I discovered ‘Eggs Benedict’ and ‘Benya’s (supposed to be the inside’s of donuts)….


So after that first date of mine with 'Eggs Benedict' I've fallen in love....so Got up real early on Saturday and was thinking what to cook for breakfast and here you go....took out the recipe from my fav cookbook…..‘The Family Circle’ Cookery Encyclopedia. Here it goes, real simple:

Romance in Music

This is not the first time that I’ve fallen for a song for the lyrics …..”Look how the stars…Look how they shine for you” …….and oh my god I’ve realized that’s exactly the words I want someone to say to me. …and how many times do I feel the artist whether it is TRAIN or Gun & Roses is such a perfect romantic and why oh why can’t my boyfriend be the same…..”…..when you can see your unborn children in her eyes ….You know you really love a woman”
Little do we realize most of these musicians barely have a steady relationship or have been successfully married for years….but still they get the words correct on the dot…….. “If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same” which make even the strongest of hearts skip a beat…

So to all those boyfriends who never have been able to please their girlfriend’s romantic fantasies. this is for you..:)

"It's better to burn out than to fade away"


KURT COBAIN's SUICIDE NOTE

To Boddah,
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complainee, this note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independance and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to, as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words for these things.
For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowd begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I could think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do, God, believe me I do, but it's not enough.) I appreciate the fact that I and we have entertained a lot of people. I must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us, and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little sensitive, unappreciative, pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive death-rocker that I have become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, Love, Empathy.Kurt CobainFrances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.Please keep going Courtney, for Frances, for her life which will be so much happier without me.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

MUSIC is as dangerous as narcotics!!!!


Have you ever had the feeling that you just cant get a song out of your head... and its not because you just love that song..but because you just heard it sumwhere and the song just cant leave your head and no matter where you go for the rest of the day u keep humming that song??

Have you ever been able to stop yourself from tapping you feet or maybe stop yourself from swaying your body to your favorite song?

Why do we love certain songs more than others? Is it because it just has a special tune to it? or is it because the reality of the lyrics just slap us in our face!!! The lyrics are so true and are exactly what we are feeling in our life!!

Don't tell me you've never been inspired from music..... don't tell me your favorite song is your favorite not because of the lyrics that have touched your heart or soul at some level!!!

you don't have to know anything about music to like music and that's the beauty of music.....

Music just hits the body and paralyses it letting the soul to take over!!!!!!!!!!
