A Weekend of Excess

It's raining here! Loving it and I also love my new office space! (I need to take a few pictures) By new office space I mean a new corner in our "messy" lab. Well, a messy looking lab.. in other words-there is an organization to the chaos or a method to the madness or an order to the messiness. Our Prof has a room, the two post-docs share a room and the rest of us occupy various spots in our big rambling lab (no, nothing to do with feng shui or vastu-just availability and preference among the chemicals , the equipments , the carts, the soil samples, an almost kitchen , a cycle, and not to mention the two gigantic tables whose purpose remains slightly ambiguous).

If my lab sounds crazy then my weekend was crazier. It was a combination of food fest, music fest, and sports fest at the house. Friday I piled up on groceries(blew up atleast two week's worth supply of groceries) and cooked as if it were my last days on earth.
The music scene was mostly rediscovering old, forgotten ones and I listened to a few of my favorites over and over again- Hey You by Floyd, November Rain by Guns &Roses, Crash into you-Dave Mathews....(Yes, please listen to them if you have not) and some. But I also had a surprising new discovery . A Hindi song from a recent movie called Rockstar. I have always liked Mohit Chauhan from his "dooba dooba" days and I thought he sounded great in Rockstar as well. But just this weekend I actually listened to Sadda Haq and kind of liked it. I thought the starting lyrics were pretty good or perhaps passionate is a better word?
As for sports - it was super bowl Sunday (a.k.a American football) and we gathered up some fake American superbowl spirit and watched the match until it became the real thing when we found the team we were rooting for was actually going to win! So it was fun but not the nail- biting -calling -out- explicits -at- the- tv- sitting -on- the -edge- heart- racing -fun (and I probably broke the world record for the longest hyphenated word) you have watching soccer (the "real" football) or even one day cricket.

Clearly a weekend of excess. Enough with my ramblings and time to get back to work. But before I go....

Tum logon ki, iss duniya mein
Har kadam pe, insaan ghalat
Main sahi samajh ke jo bhi karoon
Tum kehte ho ghalat !
Main ghalat hoon toh phir kaun sahi (phir kaun sahi)
Marzi se jeene ki bhi main
Kya tum sabko arzi doon
Matlab ki tum sab ka mujh pe
Mujh se bhi zyada haq hai

Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh

Mere dill mein ye khayaal aya ki-Kafi sachaayi hai in lafzoan mein :)
