Prepare to defy logic and embrace nonsense..!

After a self imposed hiatus due to my inability to maintain a work life balance , i am back to doing wat i really like.. writing crap and spamming ppl's mailboxes to read it :) So here i am being a reluctant lyricist to satisfy the gulzar in me... Apart from a few aberrations like himesh reshamiyya, altaf raja, anu malik (non-filmi) and their kin.. hindi music has been pretty enjoyable over the last few decades.. well that just made me sound like someone who has been listening to hindi music since the 1970's .. but my knowledge is limited to as i said the blips in the last 10 years or so. I was just thinking if i can dwell on some hindi songs with a twist .. the twist being the added knowledge about good old hyderabadi lingo :) as navjot sidhu would say, u can remove anup from hyderabad.. but u can't remove hyderabad from anup ..!

The thing with Indian graffiti is that in most cases only the guy who writes it can make out what it is and have a good laugh about it.. cos either his handwriting would be a graphologist's nightmare or it would give the creators of spell check a massive heart attack.. over the years ive seen things written on,in,below,between,along,above.. using up every possible centimeter available of various canvasses from restrooms,to trees.. to UNESCO world heritage sites! and the all time favorite Indian graffiti muse..

As on Jan 10th this year i ceased to be 25 something.. now Ive crossed the threshold of a quarter century .. Oh my god i am 26 !! i haven't felt so bad since the time Himesh Reshammiya took to acting.. and before that when Double Decker buses were pulled out of Hyderabad. I am trying to downplay the thoughts that ring in my head when i think about being 26.. but then you suddenly tend to feel older than what 26 might sound like.. u wont understand until u r in my shoes . its kinda worse than becoming 20 enroute to finishing ur teens.. Well now coming to the part where i explain why i am writing this blog , its cos i want to list down a few " things to do in life* " before my next milestone (logically it would be 50yrs ) but ya that's flexible. Everyone has new year resolutions like the one for the board at SATYAM was to be honest this year!. see where they landed.Mine is more of a list * than resolutions.. cos it has a limited liability towards fulfillment :
