TAAQ

Your friendly bangalore reporter is back :) Over the last few days, I have fallen in love with the first four lines of a song so much that I have been humming the same song over and over again. For starters, here's the song.

Sparrows on a telephone wire making music in the sky
sitting on a million conversations watching as the world goes by

somebody lost a job; somebody found a dog
she just hung up; didn't even say good bye

shadows on the ground making funny pictures
that follow me around growing bigger as the
sun goes down
telling all my secrets without a sound

Somebody got laid; somebody got home late again
Don't try to figure why; Cry if you have to cry

So much time, So much to do sure
You can subscribe to your point of view
Love is a game, money's a shame
No one to blame

Now, for the interesting part - this song has been written by a truly authentic Bangalore band called 'Thermal and a quarter' (which I am told stands for three mallus and a quarter mallu!). You can visit them here. Their claim to fame has been that they opened once for Deep purple when they were in Bangalore. But thanks to word of mouth and some cerebral lyrics - they are becoming quite famous in Bangalore now (And no! they are definitely not a boy band).

Their latest album titled Plan B (why is everyone so much in love with this name?) is out and what do you know - it's free and can be downloaded from the internet. I found their previous album better than this one - but it's definitely worth listening at least once.

That's all for today. Tomorrow, I will be back sametime with news on where you can get excellent pedicure done in bangalore. Till then ... namaskara! :)
