Makes sense ??

One of many ads you'd see around the city ! Makes you wonder, 1) if it's just you or are the others too not getting it 2) or is it just plain stupid ?!!

Brendan and The Secret Of Kells

Foreword:

*Yawn*... a lazy evening here at Melbourne..rain lashing on the windows..had it been more chilly, it would have certainly added to the ambience..

I was tipped off recently of the OSTs of this new flick, Brenden and The Secret of Kells.. So here I'm listening to it sitting in my dark room..Dunno whether it is the hangover of the still fresh tracks from Porcupine Tree from the morning's playlist or just an uncanny resemblance of some of these tracks to it..less dark in nature though..

Highlights: Magical feel of ringing bells ; bagpipes, cello strumming, drumming, echoes, varying pitches n tempo..mythological..violin and flute solos..mesmerizing compositions and very gentle transitions between each instrumental piece.. soothing..

Peace,

Computerized cooker ?

Any thoughts :) ??

Stuck

Yet again, after a slimmer of hope (though a bit cynical), I learned, that I'm stuck..well, if you know my story, your guess almost automatically will be, "residency status??" ; well, it is so damned unfair to be judged on the basis of this stupid aspect over academic qualifications here in this country !

Well, it is debatable that the country looks out for it's people first and others second. But it is not by having 50 places for locals vs 1 for outsiders; when the number of outsiders to locals applying is almost 100:1.

Well, naturally, you'd be inclined to look at the economics of it rather that the 'social commitment', as they supposedly claim it to be. Well, there you have it - education in a first world country with the primary motive of making financial gains, and whatever follows, as an added extra !! And here I'm fighting the odds; is this a losing battle, I sometimes can't help myself thinking !

Technology saves the day, again :P

After what seems to have been a writer's (blogger's) block, I've sort of been wanting to get back to blogging more actively. Well, as for the block, I figured it is best if I can find an application to blog from my phone (ahem, yes, you thought right, the generation is to be blamed for :P). Well, so in a rather desperate attempt to salvage my blog, I frantically searched for an app (between the intermittent reception of network coverage on my phone) while I was on a long train journey. After a while, I realized, as the first step of getting to use my blog through phone, it is better that I carry out this step when I'm less mobile with a better connectivity.
So on getting back home, later yesterday, I sat down to sort this once and for all. And, here I'm trying this out the first time through my phone. God save technology !!
Peace,
