Tamannaz trivia

* Recently discovered the ghazals sung by Nayyara Noor. Her voice has a soothing old world charm. My favourite so far is Ae jazba-e-dil gar main chahun..

* Chennai's auto-drivers are notorious and ever annoying. One rarely finds an auto-driver who quotes the right price and is decent and polite. My time-tested way to deal with them is to apply the policy Tu nahi to koi aur nahi sahi, koi aur nahi to koi aur sahi. Believe me it works.

* Reading Bartimaeus trilogy's final part - Ptolemy's gate. I get time for this late at night so Im burning the midnight oil these days. :-D Stupidly, I read the end. Curiosity kills the show :-(

* Slowest part of the day- afternoon from 1 to 4pm (time drags). Fastest part of the day- night-time from 8pm to 12am (time flies).

* Doing nothing ramzan-ish :-( Me a very bad girl.
God-willing I'll reform before its too late. I find Eid joyful only when Ramzan month is like it should be, but then nothing is normal in my life these days. Im looking forward to the normal days :-) Mom's iftaars are awesome affairs and I havent eaten a single one this time yet.

* And hey my work is interesting these days :-D
