Random Musings

* Someone send Zidane to an Anger Management class, now. And, the French team owe me 39.40 Euro!

* I've become a keen observer of how a group of people react, when someone new walks into their conversation, speaks for a bit and then leaves. There is almost always a fleeting wierd remark about the person or a sideways smile between the rest of the members of the group.

* Doesn't N look like a paler Norah Jones in this picture? Btw, this was taken, back in her "anti-blonde" days, as she was wrapping up the intermezzo of Moonlight Sonata, blended with an unplugged version of the theme of Metallica's The Memory Remains, at her apartment. She has got to be the only person I know who could logically blend these two songs, and mellifluously blend it in with balanced 'sustain' and harmonic tuning. Salute to you, N-sharp!

* Some dark music that I delved into earlier last week (Smokey Nights at Back Room on Norfolk Street), reminded me of a piece I wrote many moons ago. And when I start saying things like "many moons ago", its a reason to scurry and leave me to myself ;-). This is Forbidden Octave.

* The Pakistan International Airlines crash last night, reminded me of the one that happened back in '89. Here's the spooky caveat that I read: "In August 1989, another PIA Fokker, with 54 people onboard, went down in northern Pakistan on a domestic flight. The plane's wreckage was never found".

On that sombre note, arrivederci.
