drifters' song

yesterday while surfing the channels i found this song on HBO...it was playing during the end credits of a movie (the movie, as i later found out, was elizabethtown)...and i found it good. but it was the second song that swept me off my feet, as this song is one of my best loved ones. it is a drifter's song...and i know it is a very common song...very old, nothing special, nothing to be excited about bla bla bla...still...i feel this song is 'my' song, if you know what i mean. i am a drifter...i always was...may be that's why i can relate to this one so much and can get lost so easily in it. the song is moon river. was sung by god-knows-how-many artists..yet the most known one is the andy williams version. the one i heard last night was by patty griffin...i couldn't find it anywhere in the net and im not sure if i'll find it in the music stores here in dhaka. i asked dhrubo to search for it...may be he will send it...may be he wont. anyways, i am including here the original audrey hepburn version...the one she sang in the movie 'breakfast at tiffany's', the movie for which the song was originally written. i found the song in esnips...so song courtesy goes to that great site.

boring days...boring entries...

so another year is here...and 14 days gone already. just like last year, i skipped the resolution part...its of no use anyway. i still don't have my passport, i mean i didn't apply for it yet,,, have no idea when i am going to sit for the IELTS exam, and i don't even want to think about sending of the applications to the universities.

but there's been some changes around, vashkar's parents moved in with us. which sounds pretty bad as living with parents is not something you dream of when you are on your 30's or even late 20's, but what i have realized since the time they moved in, living with these people is like flat-sharing with an older couple. they don't try to impose anything on us, they just live their life while we live ours. it's kind of fun. though i do miss having a large flat only to ourselves...and those big empty rooms...and walking around with nothing on all around the flat...but still...it's not like we are going to live with them forever, right?

another update is i am back to office again. as a trainer. which is a good thing as all i do is give the new guys some tasks to finish...and i play games online while they are at the tasks. arild, somewherein's proprietor wants me to stay... he has offered me a post in the blog team as a content editor. it might have sounded like a very good idea to me even a couple of months ago...but as i have communicated with the existing blog team for the last 7 days now,,, i think taking this job will mean suicide for me. i really do not want to go into details about this, because i'm still raving mad about the whole thing. one thing i can't help putting in...thanks to this involvement, i have met the most stupid person that i will ever meet in my whole life. now, is that something to be thankful about? i don't know, may be.

what a boring entry! i better stop here.
