On My Playlist: Feist & The Last Shadow Puppets

If you have begun wondering about my whereabouts, I do not blame you. I have been missing for quite sometime now. The decline in frequency is not because of my falling interest in blogging (heck no, I love it!), but mostly because of the blog-o-sphere (aye, it is a legit word) becoming highly commercialized. Yes, when you are putting in efforts, you should be getting returns too; but these days, most of the bloggers write only sponsored posts. It is a major put-off!

In other news, my vacations have kicked in with full force. I have been listening to some great music and watching binge-watching television series (Game Of Thrones, finally!). And today I am writing with the intention to share two tunes which have been constantly stuck in my head...


Idle browsing through Instagram can be wondrous sometimes, and sometimes it can unwittingly introduce you to new music. My chancing upon this song is a direct evidence of 'em Instagram sessions. Honey Honey by Feist is one of those rare beautiful songs which introduce a sense of melancholy yet keep you mesmerized. A perfect 'night' song, in my opinion. 


I would be lying if I said I give all genres of music a chance. I am pretty stuck up in my choices. Hence, it takes me a random hear somewhere or other to find new artists. Discovering The Last Shadow Puppets is something that happened that way. All it took was a Vlog. Standing Next To Me is exactly what you need to lift up spirits. How do I know? Well, it does that for me. Plus, the whole Mod-meets-Minimalistic look makes the song's video quite an eye-candy!

So that'all for today. Please feel free to recommend music through the comments below.

Hey listen up miss I have a thing to say, that one day along with your beauty will subside your youth, and then in vain will go your attempts at revival, you won't have the zeal, but good memories to cherish from your carefree days. Hey listen up miss I have a thing to say, that one day you will reflect back on your life, and think that why did you held onto the grudges, they did no good to you, but ruined your days b...

Random things from my Mind

Okay, I was just browsing through channels on my television, when I chanced upon this song being played on VH1 and since then, I am listening to this "master-piece" non-stop on YouTube! Hey, I don't like a particular genre of music but listen to whatever pleases my ears (Hmm....but I am certainly a bit partial to Urban Punjabi genre due to my beloved Imran Khan ). To be honest, I am not in a mood to write some heavy, pour-out-my-heart post as all my excitement for Navratri  has been spoiled by those slow songs played during Dandiya, tonight. So, in this post I'd prefer to cut short my words and let the video above and picture below do the talk. Chocolate Milkshake. Just one word.....YUMMY! Ah, How much I love this thing (Choco-milkshake) filled in little plastic containers from my college's cafeteria! It's pure bliss to take the sips and linger all over them, trying to devour these. Yeah, I know I am sounding crazy right now, but frankly I can't...

Nashik Beyond Basics: 5 Offbeat Things To Do

(Please Note: I undertook this trip in Mid-November 2015. This article was written soon after, although it is being published now.) Two weeks back, when I looked at the calendar, I couldn't be mad enough at myself. One whole month of holidays had slipped like sand through my hands, with merely a weekend left before having to plunge back into the whole ho-hum, and, I did not do that one single thing which I desperately needed to; travel!  After being completely worn out by endless deadlines, stifling weather and maddening crowd, I was hoping to travel to the serene Himalayas. But as luck would have it, I was utterly broke, with barely a dime to spare for a rejuvenating trip to the mighty mountains. Precisely then, the Universe decided to show some mercy on me and magically a friend messaged me with the same cry, hoping I would accompany her on a broke-women's camping trip to Bhandardara Lake that very weekend. Undoubtedly, I agreed. However, the day before the weeke...
