When did you last let your heart decide?

I was wondering..this question pops in my mind every now & then..

Do we really follow our hearts..or it's just our agile mind..the surroundings & a plethora of other factors around us which moderate our decisions & thoughts..Food for thought..

I remember when i was in high school,i liked this girl..oh...it's a long story...maybe some other time..

Does music touch you...#1

Good Music has managed to send chills down my spine..I will be covering and writing about a few songs that have really moved me..This could be a series,as there are just so many..

You get the goose bumps..It's that moment..the lyrics just touch you somewhere deep inside,or u just feel nostalgic about a past event..u just connect with the song..that guitar,bass or sax solo resonates within u..the singer's emotion gets u engrossed..

Below are just 2 really good songs by THE BOSS himself(a.k.a Bruce Springsteen),that i associate with..all the words above just hold true with these...


Secret Garden-Soundtrack from Jerry Maguire
There's someththing about the sax solo in the outtro that really hits me..i wish it could continue for 20 minutes..



Streets of Philadelphia - soundtrack of the Tom Hanks starer "Philadelphia"
The drum beat..the lyrics..this song is just fabulous..he has put some true emotion in this song..

Where to go & FM radio..

I Need a BREAK..yes i do...Work has been slow..i feel underutilized..or maybe i simply am not performing upto the mark..I am still deciding where to go..what to do..i need a vacation..and i know i can get 1..

In the evenings while i am driving back from work,just randomly shuffling thru fm stations(no,my car doesn't have the latest 6-cd changer or the touchscreen Dvd player !,though it does have tape,but i don't have cassettes!)..

104.8 fm :- Channel 4,this is DJ moe..playing ur requests....sms 050-7461048...or call...hellllooooo...what can i do for u..Apologize- timbaland...goes out to u ,and every1 who's listening...

Dubai 92:- The evening session with Dan..we have Adele..coming up next...peee...the traffic update...moving slow on emirates road towards sharjah...trade center roundabout...

103.2 fm :- Coast fm--good music,less ads..though recently coast fm has done a massic ad campaign,i have seen their adverts on lots of hoardings & taxis..so now the on-air adverts are increasing as more sponsors flock in!

99.3 fm :- Classic hits--Radio 2:- i love RJ Suzy wonder..she has a deep & meaningful voice..she chooses the right music...

104.4 fm :- virgin radio:- 10 hits in a row...choose your music..usual tracks on air these days are "kanye west & estelle- American boy" , "kid rock- all summer long","maroon 5 feat. rihanna song-----"..and the list goes on...


Life has it's ups & downs...music wades me thru it all..

Tiny Dancer--Elton john(Movie-Almost Famous)

Easy Listening and the Jebel Ali shooting Club..

Last Nite it was the Jebel Ali shooting Club..My first time to that place(no,i am not a member as shooting is the last thing on my mind ;-)).

* As soon as we enter,there are ample notices explaining how "Delayed & short-supply of Ammunition" restricts shooting activities to members only!!It's still kept me wondering how such a massive Shooting Range is short of Ammunition Due to Late shipments!!Maybe it's just a way to hype the whole "shooting experience".

But Then u request,and try to emphasize[sir we have come a long way & want to try our hand !,and sir i think guns are good],and after signing up on a wait list(which also was hyped i think!,as it was mostly empty)..They give us a 8:30 pm slot.. AEd 125/ 25 shots...

It was good,i managed to get 2 out of 6 clay pigeons..Others did better..

* Other 'well-noticed' notices --"No Alcohol consumption before shooting"..Just next to an amazing bar cum restaurant,incidentally also named "SHooters",with the most extensive Cocktail list i have seen!!

* Ask for "Tin Soi"@the Shooters,that's the name of the cheerful Burmese waiter who served us.He sure had some nice serving tricks up his sleeve..and even managed to get us complimentary iceream..And some nice take away gifts too..

Let's get it on..Jack Black(High fidelity)
