Indian music at Olympics

I was watching Beach volleyball finals for women and during point break I heard a familiar tune...and surprise surprise it was a song from the movie Bluffmaster - "Say Na Say Na".
Bolly going global!

Found the song...finally!

I was listening to a song by Bad English: "When I see you smile" on last.fm. I had a classic rock CD where I had heard this song.
The initial music reminded me of some Hindi movie song which has been "inspired" from this song. I did all the googling without any luck.
I think I have finally found the song...its Dil to Pagal hai song "Ek duje ke vaaste".

Listen to these two songs to see the similarities.

Record breaking heat

DFW (Dallas Fort worth)-Metroplex area has been having a record summer. The temperature is constantly hovering around (generally above) 100 F (round about 40 C).
Its been one of the driest summer so far as well with rainfall just shade of 1.5".

I am from Delhi and I can relate to such long hot and dry spells, but this year even Delhi has been faring much better compared to North Texas. It did not get that high during summers and monsoon have hit Delhi and brought some relief.

Hoping for some relief to North Tx as well.

U.S of A

After a great rendezvous in Europe, I am now in United States of America. Its been great 3 years in Europe. Made many new friends, learned a lot about different cultures and countries.
U.S has been a different experience so far. It really makes you realize its vastness. As I have heard so oft from different people..."Initial 2-3 months are the toughest in U.S, if you can survive them, you will have a great time there".

1 month has gone by...basic settling issues, things seem to be falling in place now.

Been a long time since I last blogged (similar story like my last few blogs I guess. hopefully will have new things to write about)...
