“No one lays on his deathbed wishing he had spent more time at the office.”

This is a 1997 (or was it 1998) photo of me, Vicky & Tamana. We performed in front of 1000 people – Tamana played the sitar, Vicky played the tabla while I played the guitar and sang a song that was “chosen” by the organizing lecturers – Elton John’s Candle in the Wind.

You can’t run from them, because no matter how fast you run, there’s always an asshole behind you. The good news is, you don’t have to be nice, but [...]

Let me stress this again, I hate tags, because it’s just a waste of space to me. I’d rather blog about something different. However, I have an achilles heel, if the tag involves MUSIC. Hence, thanks to Maika, I will now share my favorite 10 love songs in no particular order, and at this point [...]

Some of us, no matter how hard we try to conform to a circle of people, we just can’t blend in. Whilst we try to adapt to that circle, but there is so much we can do before we realize that we are no longer the same person we were before.

Cool, I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon.
How many storage boxes can you fit in there?
You must be very experienced.
