Indians hide and Sulk

What a co-incidence...
That I was planning to write about the Sulk Station  gig that happened yesterday and this morning the paper says....


 And Sulk.

So Sulk Station is a trip-hop/electronic duo. Tanvi Rao and  Rahul Giri. I am not so good with the musical jargons and all, but basically she does the vocals and he makes the beats. 
I love their music! Not just because Tanvi is my sister :) I think they are very new. And different. And refreshing! I could say yesterday's set was one of the best I have heard so far...
.
Yesterday, they played at B-Flat, one of my fave places for their kinda music. It's an intimate setting, just perfectly lit and just perfectly small.(intimate by the way, was the word of the gig yesterday)





Ah.... the stage set up did look like an i-store :P Not kidding!


 I hope 2012 sees them performing more, much more! :)
And of course their *album release*! yay!

Check them out here http://www.facebook.com/sulkstation

 So 2011 has been a wonderful year.... A lot of love, work, travel and madness. Hope it continues :D






 Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2012!

No touching, no touching, only seeing, only seeing!



This post is endearing as well as mad.It might not make too much sense too, as I have so so soooo much to say in just one post! But anyways...

Quaint Minnie here and the title of the post are absolutely un-related by the way!


So its the Christmas weekend, MERRY XMAS !!  :)
It's been a lovely one so far...(the weekend). See below- the lovely tree in UB City!






Sangeet wears Forever New, I'm wearing Arrow



I have been meaning to write about all the madness happening around me specially at work, but its been a helluva busy few weeks. And SO FUN!! As it is, I love what I do(most of the time at least) and then it goes and becomes better with a superb December where all we do is prepare for internal competitions, bond with our team (and try to hate the other rival team, but you know, our hearts are such pure gold, we can't seem to hate them) :P




Anyway, this post is about my fab weekend. Which went like:
1. Grand finale and culmination of the office madness. Hmm we didn't win, but we what a blast we had! We actually did a FLASH mob. Now, how cool is that!
2. Danced my *@# and poor back off at Shiro with the dancing queen and many others. It was capital F.U.N.
3. Did a fantabulous photo shoot in front of the goregous X-mas tree in UB city with Sangeet. As you can see.
4. Wished our very close friend Sini a happy birthdayyyyyy and went crazy there too.
5. Best of all was spending so MAD-TIME with Sangeet. Now she is a crazy one I tell you. We pleased the dance gods, bappi lahiri n all other sidey lyric-song musicians last night.  Sorry, no images of that ;) And yes this morning, went to Motorcycle museum and cafe, right next to my place for breakfast with her. Cozy, quaint and a damn sweet set up. Check it out!





On the way up!



wowww!

The view from the balcony



So the owner, Mister Prabhu said that they were planning to shift as it was not working out for him. How sad. Sangeet and I were just discussing that this cafe is so charming because it's in such a place,and not on- say Church Street. Lets hope he shifts somewhere nearby...





 Here's me, signing off and singing off for the weekend.


PS: No touching, no touching, only seeing, only seeing is a Himesh Reshamiya song. I heard it for the first time yesterday, and yes, i LIKE it! Just the song, not the annoying Mr.Himesh :P

I don't know why but I love this pic I took. Found this card lying on a friend's work table in Prague :)


I have been busy with the festive season and also busy falling sick :( But I promise to be back with a bang! Real soon!


Merry X-mas week!

The Brazil Series -1: Rio

Copacabana Beach, Rio
Ah, travel!How much I love you.
These are some gorgeous pics and memories from my trip to Brazil in 2007. I had quit my first (and worst) job out of boredom and thirst to do something new. And boy! Was it new :)
I went to Brazil to intern at a knitwear company. Which I did. Kind of. But I ended up travelling a lot more :P


So my companion was a dear friend of dad's who became my friend too... her name is Ana and she's a real sweetheart. It was such amazing fun.... We started our wanderings from Sao Paulo. Flew up to Rio and Salvador (in Bahia district) and then to Fortaleza. More pics coming up!


That's Ana with the famous Christo

The Christ or Christo or locally referred to as "Corcovado"( the letter R is pronounced as H, so it would sound more like Cohcovado)  is probably the most famous statue of Christ in the world. Most recently seen in Twilight: Breaking Dawn where dear newly-weds Edward and Bella go to Rio, on route to some exotic la-la land island belonging to his mother! :O  Vampires are rich, I tell you! I watched this movie twice already by the way.
  


Streets are filled with this kind of graffitti

Some serenaders by the Copacabana beach. They taught me how to samba as well!

That mountain behind Ana is called "Sugar Loaf" or locally known as "Pau de Azucar" It really does look  like it!


 
What else did we do there?
Umm.... nothing much really! It's such an amazing city to just chill and do nothing (except have lots and lots of beer) and crash some amazing parties happening on roads, beaches and parks and every possible place!
Below are some pictures of a party we crashed ;)


Not only do they graciously welcome shameless foreigners into their gathering, they are amazing musicians! I wish I had a good quality video to upload here! And everybody in Rio knows how to samba! In 5" heels. Men in flats of course :P


I have probably never felt as tom-boyish as I felt there, because the women were SOOOOO hot! I am a girl and I felt it. No wonder, the reputation of Brazil :)


Even the view from the top, on route to Rio looked like a freakin' tiny bikini! God bless Brazil!

I miss you Brazil!
Also Ana and all the lovely people I met...
Waiting to write my next series! :)


Beijos! :-*

When the cat came to stay

I am so so excited.
I have a cat. And his name is Fonzie.The cutest cutest cat ever :)
Ok its not mine. We are cat-sitting for a friend. For two whole weeks yayyyyy!

So in the past two days... the most important question on my mind has been:
Am I a cat person?

Am I? Am I?

 Just look at him! <3 <3

How could I not be....


So the question is more like: Can one be a cat person AND a dog person at the same time? I have probably had 2 dogs in my childhood and never directly contributed to taking care of them. And dogs are hard work personified. But I truly loved them. I was always lazy. Like a cat.
And cats? They are something else all together.

My sister with  Fonzie
Cats are self-indulgent.
They don't really care.
About anything.
They are just so pricey.
And I love it!  ;)




Lets say, I have two weeks to find out... :)



The big cat is away for a couple of days :) So its Fonz and me signing off for the weekend...
