Hello,
I enjoyed what can be called a sound-proof diwali. A few sparklers and a few flowerpots made up most of my 15 minute long diwali celebration.
I am not too sure I did a lot yesterday and the day before. I have a FIIT-JEE phase test coming up soon and I have a lot of coding etc. to finish. Terrific example of putting your feet in too many places at once.
I found a new album on the free albums galore blog. I have to yet listen to it. I also have a podcast to spit out soon (considering people were causing an earsore the past two days, recording became impossible). I’ve got to finish filerfox too.
Lots of work but only 24 hours in a day.
If I haven’t mentioned already, I do like music and I like melodious music. One that fills me with satisfaction once I listen to it. I was an avid follower of SaReGaMaPa for a very long time and in the senior’s edition which concluded some time back (should be back next year or so) I was a big fan of Mussarat Abbas (sufi singer who sang Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Songs) and Amanat Ali (ghazal expert. Jagjit Singh said he had a terrific future). The kids version however seems a bit senseless to me. First of all they call these kids from all over the world and make a competition out of it. Hence we get to see a five year old crying over something that he can’t even announce about proudly ten years from now. Immature voices, overtrained kids, parents who feel that the judges have wronged their children. It is not comforting too when a child makes a complete mess of a song and when I frown, I am told that he is just a 7 year old. The point is why should I be wasting my time listening to mediocre performances.
I am going to conclude with this rant and I shall write again later
