Last weekend was surprising even by my standards. I ended up watching 4 movies in 5 days. The first was "Happy Feet" - it was very enjoyable, the animation was amazing especially on the big screen. The second was "Premonition" - Sandra Bullock, it literally kept me guessing till the end. I enjoyed the movie a lot not only because it did not have a oh-the-usual ending but because at each step I could not figure out how the plot would shape up. The third was Pam's Labyrinth - also a very good movie in Spanish. It is on the heavy side, and is a very sad movie with a lot of torture that can hardly be seen by timid hearted people like me. But what gets you is how creatively the story is crafted. The last was "Dancing with wolves" - Kevin Costner, and all about red-indians and this lone american soldier who wilfully chooses a border-post for his assigned duty. 3 out of the 4 were oscar winners. And in themselves, very original and enjoyable in their own essence.
I also came across all these new songs from my yoga class..... no they are not meditation songs :). But they provide good listening pleasure all the same.
Warning: all of them are soft songs and my guess would be.... rock-fans would not like them at all.
Breathe (2 AM) - Anna Nalick
This year's love - David Gray
Just another ordinary miracle - Sarah McLachlan
Here comes the sun - Beatles
Thinking over - Dana Glover
Thats all for now, another 43 days till I leave Tucson. Meanwhile, I am missing one of my best friends - Monika's wedding in India. Little explained, little said..... there were times when we had naively planned all to attend each other's wedding, and to be there with each other through some of these life-defining moments.
Well if not in presence, then in spirit.... we are all there with you as you take this next step in your life. :)

The songs are great except for the one by David Gray which seemed a little devoid of melody inspite of having a nicely made video. I think the video for Sarah McLachlan and Beatles are user created videos (read copyright violated !!) and so is Breathe(-:..but good ones nevertheless. I haven't had a chance to check Charlotte's Web but McLachlan's song is a great OST.
I like Sarah McLachlan's 'World on Fire' also (the video is available on Yahoo Music). 'Here Comes the Sun' from the album Abbey Road is considered one of George Harrison's better written songs and gives us a sense of Hope and a Better Tomorrow. What do you think?
Btw I think rocks fan or not, one just needs a good ear to enjoy these songs (-:. Good Choice.
Yes I love all the songs.. sometimes they are the only motivation to an early Saturday morning yoga class :).
Thinking Over the things that you said. Nice addition and nice lyrics !! (-:
