After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible, is music.
-Aldous Huxley


Then why let the language limit your choice of songs?

I tried out some Tamil songs for the very first time. Starting off with Alai Payuthe. I found snehithane to sound the best. I guess when you dont understand the language much, you concentrate on the flow of the words with the music. A friend, Vinaya has also promised some really slow but melodious Tamil songs. Looking forward to that.

Now that we have travelled South, I would also like to mention my first try at Keralite food. Onam special for lunch. Some colleagues said it was cooked the authentic way. The payasam was tasty and so was some banana preparation, sweet and covered with something.

Occasions like this remind you of the enormous diversity in cultures and traditions in India. A nation, maybe not sufficient in funds, but filthy rich when it comes to the variety of music, cultural heritage it has to offer.

We shall definitely make it one day....
