Mobile Woes

This post was supposed to be written almost two weeks back, but I was so caught up in work and family, that as usual it got postponed!

Since the last time I posted, my mobile phone was spoilt and I learnt the hard way to back up again! Since then I have been getting back almost a year's worth of contacts in my new phone (dh's old phone) and this time making sure that all numbers have been saved to my SIM card....

A couple of months back I accidently dropped my phone in water and then it appeared to work alright after a days's worth of drying. But it seems that the insides were corroded and so one day it just stopped working! This is a bad year for me in terms of phone and the current one I am using is dh's old one - which makes it number 4 for the year...(Sigh) I wish the year was over already so I can put this bad luck behind me...

I also saw OSO and Saawariya and will review them tomorrow....

Peace....and Quiet

I am writing this post on a Friday morning, after the kids have gone to school and the house is quiet. I guess this is one the last few times when I will be allowed this luxury. My mom is finishing up the chores in the kitchen before she takes a bath and then we both start preparing to make the Diwali sweets and savories. I have taken leave from office so that I can document what my mom does and then hope to replicate it in my kitchen on my own maybe next year if not before.

I am also listening to music one of my favourite sites online - MusicIndiaOnline. I am listening to something called Top 20 in Hindi, which is the top 20 songs which have been listened by viewers in the last 24 hours. Predictably they are the songs of Saawariya, Bhool Bhulaiya and Om Shanti Om. The songs of all three are very good and worth a listen. Saawariya and Om Shanti Om are the next eagerly awaited movies due for a Diwali release, so I guess next week the audience will decide if the new debutants' are to be the successes they feel they deserve. Both movies have been over hyped and their cast and crew have appeared on practically all the reality shows on all the Indian channels till date.

Sanjay Leela Bansali's Saawariya stars the progeny of two of Indian cinema's successful actors - Rishi Kapoor (Ranbir Kapoor) and Anil Kapoor (Sonam Kapoor) and so these two star-children will be looked over with a critical eye.

Deepika Padukone making her Hindi film debut in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om is a former model as well as being the daughter of India's most prolific badminton player - Prakash Padukone. Shahrukh Khan also stars as the male lead in this movie.

Ok, mom's out and so this post gets wrapped up. This week, I managed three posts, so lets hope the next week, I at least maintain a status quo, if not more posts....

Have a great weekend everyone and to end here is a nice photograph I clicked at our recent visit to Sentosa's show titled "Songs of the Sea".
