I'm 2 years old today, says my blog

1920hrs EST, today..

Anticipating to write this post from, what day was it, um, last Friday, I finally settle now, to write, with just 4 hours left in the day, because it’s a second anniversary. Of what? Well, My blog’s. I try to recollect what was it like on the first one. End up having no clue whatsoever. I regret, I dint make a big deal then, so at least make the second one. March 26th 2011, the day I have written the first post, which was more like an introduction, yet that is when it all started. Did I ever think its going to last for two years? Nope. Haven’t thought about it. And I have no clue for how many more months/years will I be writing. But, I sure will. 32 posts and still counting, well this one’s 33rd.

I sat back, many a times, read all the earlier ones. Started out writing about the things I love the most, yet, I feel the difference. I feel, I did come a long way. Haven’t i? Also, its pretty much a dear feeling to me. I, find all the earlier posts weird. I get the feeling, what was I even thinking? But, well, that’s about it. Isn’t it? Okay, that’s enough of the bragging. Right?

24th March, Sunday..

Woke up again, with a sensational news. That was the fourth time, I guess. Its always good to win the games. And when it comes to Cricket, Aussies being the opponent, the bitter fact of 0-4 away loss keeps bothering me, but that morning was comforting. Wrapped up the test in less than 3 days and a white wash 4-0. May be, I have seen it coming at the end of day 2 of the final test, but not so quick. Yet, the victory just made the day better. I couldn’t get enough of it for the rest of the day. Yes, I wanted to write about this, but was waiting for today.

Staring at the end of the first quarter of 2013(which itself is hard to believe), days are running pretty forward, but the life’s progressing pretty slow. Classes, Work and Gym constitute most of the time, with never ending repeat of FRIENDS sit-com. I’m seriously so obsessed with it, that I am watching it all over again for the second time and I’m more than half way through. Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Monica and Ross fill my world up. While having dinner, or lunch(even today), before going to bed. Ah, I found it. Mornings. That is the only time, so far, I have never watched it. In the morning. Can I be more crazier?

Although, there’s lot going on across the globe, seems like nothing is interesting to me. But for the fact, a month from now and add 3 days to it, is the birthday of my nephew, well not exactly, but I googled it. Brother’s son is also Nephew. So, it’s Arav’s first birthday. Dint I just mention about the hurry of days? He’s already one year old. I still remember taking him in my arms when he was 21 days old. He was just 3 months old when I got back to US, but now, he’s super naughty every time I call home. Well, its all good now. Wanting to crawl, just about to start speaking, pulling the telephone cords while speaking, wanting to see my mom when she’s in pooja room. Ah, I miss the infant so much.

Well, I think I’ve resisted long enough. But not anymore. Looks like, it is fine to write now. At least for me. Last time I did was in 2011. Yes, that’s when his previous album was released. Ofcourse, I still listen to it. O ya ya is still my favorite track from the same album. And this one. Well, its been around for a couple of months, a little more than that actually. And its by far, arguably the best one of this year. If you still dint get it, I’m speaking about my Rahman, his latest album Kadal/Kadali.

When Nenjukulle, was first orchestrated in MTV unplugged, I wasn’t really amazed by it. Well, the bar was set high. Moongil thottum from the same album, outplayed all the other tracks. With that track boasting the best of the album, it was on one fine day, I got lost into the melody of Nenjukulle. Really. Rahman, after two decades of your music, you still surprise me. How is it possible? I still have a tough time picking the best one. Moongil thottum, Nenjukulle, Elay Keechan and Adiye. Four blissful tracks. Not leaving behind the peppy Magudi magudi. I’m still stuck with O ya ya, Sadda Haq, the instrumental dichotomy of fame from yesterday, and today I am served with Kadal. And this is the first album, I’m hooked on to the tamil version. I really don’t care, I know the gist of the song, lyrics are flowing with the music and so am I. Now, you may think, I am being inclined towards Rahman, but the 4 tracks which I mentioned above, are so soothing to ears, one has to love them no matter what. Um, there was Jab Tak hain Jaan too, but i was speaking about the all time albums, so i kind off dint mention it.

Well, i think I should have done this long back. I shouldn’t have held myself back, not for two months in any possible way, because, writing about it makes me happier. I am sorry. Sorry that Rahman is so superior to be boasted over and over again. :P Speak of music, try listening to recent telugu albums, I’m sure you’ll quit listening telugu music. :D :D Also, I wouldn’t encourage you listening the telugu version of Kadal, true the music is melodious but the lyrics, don’t ask me. ;)

Okay, here’s a little more piece of information, which should sum up my craziness. Dilli 6, Jodha Akbar and now Jaane Tu Ya Jaane na, I finished listening them, complete albums as I’m writing this line. :D :D

Now, I can finally move on. Call me what ever you want. Rahmanism forever!

Well, wait. Is this a post on the second anniversary of my blog or another Rahmanism post? :D

Did you know that dieting has its own side effects? I’ve had the craving for a birthday cake for so long and it was finally fulfilled couple of weeks ago. Thanks to my roomie’s birthday. It is the time for a nice ice cream craving. I have it as soon as the ice cream’s’ was over. Its just that I don’t get time to go to Baskin robbins to have one, which is exactly what I want to eat or a cold stone’s. How gay-ish does that sound? Okay. No ice cream. :D

Well, this brings me to end of this post. Doesn’t every single line of this post, is about bragging. Ugh. I, so suck. Who cares. It’s the second anniversary. :P I’m excused.

I kind off want the new signature. So, here goes one, on the note of 2 years.

Stay Healthy. Keep Smiling. Just Breathe.
