Tequila Series - Vol 1

Starting the Tequila series..

Prerequisite # 1: I should have had at least one sip of Tequila margarita (till I understand more about tequilas, I am going with Jose Cuervo)

Prerequisite # 2: After pre-requisite 1, I should have searched the song listed in this series on YouTube

I figure I need to dedicate this post to someone, so here's to someone I knew as a 10-year old prodigy, who is now the proud father of a little girl named Indira. Here's to his 1st Father's Day and to many more to come..

Happy Father's Day!

IPL # 4: Teams I support

Welcome to IPL Season # 4! Here were my predictions for Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3.

I'll stay true to my claim after Season 3, that I will base my Season 4 predictions on the quality of bowlers in each team. I had wanted to also count in captains, but I figure I'll let the purity remain. So here I go...

Chivas Series - Vol 4

Continuing on Chivas Series..


RULES RECAP:

There are 2 simple pre-requisites to songs listed in the "Chivas series".

Prerequisite # 1: I should have had at least one sip of Chivas Regal

Prerequisite # 2: I should have hummed or sung at least a line of the song myself, in exactly the order listed below, after Prerequisite # 1

CAUTION: Compiling songs under the influence of Chivas can cause me to forget that there is an audience I am supposed to court via my posts. Inconvenience regretted.

# 1. Yeh Dil Tum Bin
 



 
Gud ka zaika line: .. humein tum bin koi jachta nahi, hum kyar kare..
 
 
# 2. Aap aaye toh khayal-e-dil-e-naashaad aaya
 

 
 
# 3. Jab deep jale aana
 

 
 
# 4 (This is Telugu actually, I wonder how I thought of it in the middle of Hindi songs. In any case it's one of only a handful of Telugu songs I even know) Maate Mantramu
 

 
 
# 5 (This one is Tamil, and rather deliberately thought right after a Telugu song) Netru Illatha Matrum
 
 
 
================== BREAK ================
 
Right after song # 5 above, I couldn't help write to a Tamil friend of mine who just left my company a few weeks ago. I decided to call quits to the Chivas Series - Vol 4 and instead sent a note to my friend.
 
Hi (name withheld),
To celebrate the New year, I was listening to some songs and ran into some Tamil ones that I loved. I immediately thought I should just share these songs with you, perhaps to let you know you are thought of on this day AND to also let you know I do love some Tamil songs :-). I know you'll say humbly that my choice is good, I can just say it is a very old choice of songs (except one) going back to my REC Trichy days. I actually don't know the meaning of the songs, but just love them. Hope you can enjoy them in any case.

Wishing You A Happy New Year!

Will look forward to meeting you one of the days early next year.
