Tag paanch aka MEZ IZ TAGGEDZ!

Tagged by His Almighty Geekiness, Ashish.


5 - You’re going on a long journey, what five albums MUST you take with you? Albums that you need to listen to regularly.

• Mekaal Hasan Band : Sampooran [Have to listen.]

• Silk Route : Boondein [actually, this does have an incredibly corny English song called, um.. Mermaid. *shudders* I'm allowed to substitute that with Mohit Chauhan's Guncha, right? =D]

• Call : Jilawatan

• Strings : Duur

• The Raghu Dixit Project : Raghu Dixit [Ambar. *drool*]
  

4 - What four albums/songs do you most associate with a journey or travel experience memory? You know, the ones you listen to that transport you back to a place and time.

• Asoka [yes, the Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor movie. Stop gaping.] : I'd gone on a family vacation to Kerala back when I was 11, and for ten days, I listened to nothing else, since it was the sole non-Malayalam album our driver had. San Sana-na Nan. Responsible for any craziness I display today. You have no idea how impressionable an eleven year old is.

• Numb - Linkin Park : 15th December, 2007. School grounds. School fete in progress. Yours truly on compering duty at the music request stall on stage, seeing 3000 kids getting bored. What does yours truly do? She takes the microphone, and instead of just announcing, "Next up is Numb, by Linkin Park, from [insert random desperate guy's name] to all the hot girls of Carmel!", she er.. shouts,"Lemme hear you roaaaaaaaaaaaaaar, people!" and proceeds to jump, and head bang to Numb, lip syncing, and going crazy in a passable imitation of Chester. On stage. 3000 people. [Aku, I know you'll be a good friend, and delete that video. NOW.]

• Keh Lene Do - Agnee : In the 11th, when our class would be practicing for the 12th's farewell, Sukanya and I would sit on the low ledge behind the auditorium at school, with baby squirrels for company. We'd begin with humming Keh Lene Do, and Karvan by Agnee, move on to Tere Bina by Fuzon, and as more people came and sat, Allah Ke Bande, finally finishing off with a crowd favourite : Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli. =P [You HAVE to see that video.]
  

• Shayad / Nishaan - Call : For the impromptu jam sessions at school with K. =)
  

3 - Your three favourite songs of all time?

• Boondein : Silk Route

• Tiluk Kamod : Ahmed Jahanzeb

• I Will Follow You Into The Dark : Death Cab For Cutie [Do.. not.. stare. Its a nice song. Shoo.] [as is Carnival of Rust. And Champagne Supernova. And Good Riddance. ^.^]
  

2 - Two feel good songs, the ones that are guaranteed to lift the blues and put a smile on your face.

• Ud Chalta - Nitish Pires [The guy is um.. weird. And the album version has better vocals. And slightly adjusted lyrics.]
  

• Le Chale - KK, My Brother Nikhil [also try: Yeh Honsla - Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan]
  

1 - Absolute, overall, undoubtedly the best album of all time, in your opinion.

• The ever changing, all accommodating to-listen-before-bed album of the [V]. =D

[Ah yes. I wasn't supposed to include any Inglis songs. One little song or two can't hurt, right? At least, I say it can't. & my word is law. I is 17. Mwahahahaha.]

I, Chor

Tired, bored and inspirationless. Oh, and a blatant plagiarist.Shamelessly chorofied from Ish's blog :

1. Put your iPod (or other source of music) on shuffle mode.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You must write the name of the song no matter what. No cheating!

The rise and fall,
The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on

And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.

Time for you, chor. :)

Yes, a post!

[Alright, so that makes it sound like I think that you think that I think I am overly excited at a new post, right? Well, if you got that, and you think so, then yep, I am!]

So Shruti tagged me, and here goes nothing!
The Rules:

Link to the person that tagged you.

Post the rules on your blog.

Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.

Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

#1
I like classifying my songs. I have long-car-drives songs [Strings], 12 AM songs [Coldplay], songs for a particularly Ima-do-what-I-want day [Old Bon Jovi stuff, think Dead or Alive, or Blaze of Glory] et al. I actually got up today at 6 [in the morning for a change], got my iPod, arranged my hair in a suitably wild manner, and put on my best rocker on a mission sneer. Then I plugged in the earphones, played You Give Love a Bad Name, and did the whole on-stage routine in front of my bathroom mirror, singing shouting along, until my Mum started banging on the door. It was to beat, so I thought she was probably being appreciative of my performance. Until she barged in and said she'd thwack me hard if I didn't quit it. Sigh. I shall remain an undiscovered musical genius.

[And yes, digression shall live as long as I am alive.]

#2
I hate typing out things. I can never think of things to say when I'm typing. Most of my posts are first written out at night, proof read, typed out, and posted. Give me a black pen [Black is important] and a notebook, and I'll fill it up and return it within the hour. Talk to me online, and you'll be waiting for fifteen minutes to get a reply from me. My lack of conversational skills online are second only to my complete uselessness on the phone.

#3
I can happily spend an entire hour doing nothing but listening to music and reading.
In the bathroom.

#4
I hate stepping on the edges of tiles. I like to walk one foot bang in the middle of one tile, next foot on the opposite adjacent tile on top when I'm walking on tiled floors. Stepping on the lines is a cardinal sin.

#5
I don't know if this is weird, but no one else I know admits to it. I really like going to school. Okay, so it is weird. But I don't know, I like the place. I've never taken leave unless I could help it, or if I have, it was only so I didn't get the nerdy looking 100% certificate. Maybe its something to do with the fact that the school magazine has articles titled "The Ultimate Guide To Handle Post Break-up Blues." Go, freedom of creative expression! :D

#6
I think this tag is an oxymoronish tag. How can I write six non important things about myself? If its about me, its important! :D
More important stuff then, because I think the blog is looking quite dreary, and well, I feel like putting up some snaps. There, no more justification required.
[In case you're wondering, I also suffer from having an incredibly bloated up self image, though I sometimes swing to self deprecating too]

I like photography, or whatever little I can do of it with my ancient 3.2 megapixel camera.


Enough fodder for a day, I guess. And I tag :

Abhilasha
Bharat
Disha
Nik
Radhika
You! :D
