Konkani Dance Mix in Boston

I found this in youtube.com , while i was searching for goan music there. Its truly wonderful to know that young goans out there are still practising a bit of Goan Culture in the west.

The Video clip isnt very straight(shakes a bit). and the music changes from konkani to english, then hindi then Konkani again.

Check the video here.

Nike Ad - Goan Music

Its Great to know and see, that Nike has used Goan Music to create the most creative Ad i have seen. A mix of Goan Konkani Music, Cricket, and an International Brand.

Lyrics in Konkani

Rav patrao rav
Khedong maka di mhunta aao
Khedong maka di na zhalya
Tuzho kortelem patlanv

Khedoch amche oslen
Kednanch ravonk nosle
Undir matracho khed yo kosle
Maka bhogta oslen
Arre maaroon, dhoroon, phodoon
Saiba noshib mozhe phoslen

Â

Lyrics (Translated from Konkani):

‘Wait, partner, wait
First let me play
If you don’t play, I’ll keep chasing you all day
Our game is like this only
Where we have no time to think
It is the game of cat and mouse
That I have begun to love
And in the falling running breaking
My destiny is entwined
‘

Review : Total Commander

I have stopped using Windows File Explorer i think about 7 years now. Ever since i found its replacement , called Total Commander from www.ghisler.org .

This Windows utility makes the copying of files from any drive and any folder to any other location much easier. It uses a split screen approach that Windows Explorer desperately needs. You choose one directory on the left and another on the right. (See screenshot at the end of this article.) You right click on any file you want to copy (or move) and see it turn red. Once you’ve selected all the files you want to copy, you hit the copy command and the program copies everything where you want it. Simple and easy.

Toasted “Chilly-Cheese” Spicy Sandwich

We recently got a new maid, who is also an Amazing Cook. She comes up with this creative receipes , blending Indian,Chinese, Punjabi and Arabic Cusines.

All of us at home, enjoy her cooking. Sometime back she had made these strange looking sandwiches. They wasnt to pleasant to the eye as the fillings had broken out of the bread. When i saw them , i was like ” what are these things?”

I guess she felt bad about it. Never made them again. She had left for the day. But after i took abite . They were the most amazing sandwiches i ever tasted.

Too much is happening!!!!

Im loaded :-( .. loaded with work,ideas,things to do. Its sad that , you end up doing everyone work. vibin, my colleague is also with the same, extremely loaded, with tasks and things to do . Somehow sometimes in kuwait , your job role is not specified in details and we are loaded with things , we are not supposed to be doing.

But due to circumstances , we have to help. Now “help: can be good or be an extremely bad word. Today, people misunderstand help as “compulsory” support. “Help” is no longer understood as “voluntary” service in adverse time of need from a friend or family member or a concerned stranger.

So i have decided to slow things down. Its for my own benefit and the benefit of my company clients (Coz an “over stressed me” wouldnt be able to give quality service to them).
