thanks for the kind words, pixelfiesta.

the client wants more 'yellow' in the packaging.

sometimes I wonder, if people are so specific about what they want, they don't need specialists.

The clouds are here!The clouds are here!

Its a beautiful day! There is a nice premonsoon breeze blowing away the dry leaves of decidious trees. Wish I had a camera today and a day off! This is the perfect kind of a day to spend at PVR Saket, or Kan Market, or Habitat Center, or Priya PVR complex...if you are in Delhi or Brigade Road, if in Bangalore. Even FC or Koregaon Park in Pune. Friends from Pune say the weather there is a joy right now!(Sorry, I dont think there is a place like this in Mumbai.)

Honda Jazz will be launched today. Maybe it will interest me enough to want to buy it...

No, there isn't a place like this in Mumbai. I agree.
I can vouch for Church Street in Bang and FC / KP in Pune. (Dont know Delhi)

Just posted on a friend's wall how much I envy Puneites.

Converse has announced their Kurt Cobain range of keds. It seems Kurt Cobain used to wear a lot of Converse Keds. In case you dint know, Nike purchased Converse sometime in 2006 (I may be wrong about the year).

thanks saumya! i agree with you on the jeans. and thanks payal, I love my coffee too! but not for long!
coffee has many many calories that add up with each cup (unless you have black coffee, which has 2 calories only)

today we went shopping at fabindia. i love that place. i want to buy everything that they have. unfortunately, its kinda expensive. the kurtis i liked were typically in the price range of rs 550+. you can only choose to buy one or two. wish they were a biiit cheaper. or wish they had something like a loyalty discount :(

sometimes i wonder if its worth it fighting over whther it should be yellow or red. after all its someone else's brand.

but then again, its my work... sigh...

some interesting poster designs that i was going through. havent seen a good poster in a while!hope you enjoy these

i realised in the day to day rush and over-involvement with social media (you wont find me on facebook, at least not now), many of my friends have forgotten how to pass their time. i don't see anyone keen on buying a new music system or a new music CD. speaking of which, i realised I don't even know the BillBoard Top 10, something I used to keep a keen track on, when in college.

so for revision's sake, here's the current crop of music (and no, I don't mean the bollywood tamasha)
  • 1) Black Eyed Peas : Boom Boom Pow
    2) The Black Eyed Peas : I gotta Feeling
    3) Keri Hilson Featuring Kanye West & Ne-Yo : Knock You Down
    4) Pitbull : I know you want me (Calle Ocho)
    5) Lady Gaga : LoveGame
    6) Jeremih : Birthday Sex
    7) Lady Gaga : Poker Face
    8- Sean Kingston : Fire Burning
    9) Shinedown : Second Chance
    10) Beyonce : Halo
part of my KRAs is to listen to every one of these tracks.
