Open up the markets!

Damn Etisalat. Posted a tiny paragraph in Gulf News today indicating that "service may be unavailable in some parts of Dubai". Wot does that even mean?! Read that there's a second telecom company opening up in June. More as I learn.

Why did I bother getting wireless cable?! Walls are made of concrete in this town. No signal in any other room but the study and I might as well have yanked an ethernet cord across the room. Have figured out why wireless works so much better in the US. The walls there are made of cardboard.

Slept for most of today. Strangely can't seem to stay awake. Keep popping off when try to read book. Perhaps should pick up another book as current one obviously not very good.

Soundtrack for most of today's awake time -

Sonu Nigam - Likhe jo khat tujhe from Kanyadaan (don't ask) (and no, I don't prefer the Mohd. Rafi version)
Rabbi Shergill - Bulla ki jaana
Rabbi Shergill - Tere bin
Ms Scandalous - Aaja Soneya
Anand Raj Anand - Dil de diya hai from Masti (again, don't ask)

No, I don't know where this Bollywood fascination is coming from. I actually happen to think these are good songs. Stop sniggering. There are people out there who listen to country & western. So there. Hah. *sticking to my guns*

I'll tell you something odd though - all these songs feature the word 'rab' at least thrice. Maybe that's indicative of.. well.. something.

Ms Scandalous should stick to rapping. She no good as a singer. Although the dhol on Aaja Soneya is addictive.

Simply haven't been able to access work email all weekend. IT department very daft for an online media services company. Must remember not to be catty at work tomorrow. Pops wonders why I got two laptops going at the same time.

Strange dreams involving Sanjay Dutt and Albert Pinto. No, not THOSE kinds of strange dreams *shudder*. Although... hmm... *gay porn reaching new heights in my head*.

Went to the Hills this morning and was given a large thing of mithai in honor of Deep's engagement. Ate a quarter of it in the car on the way home and then promptly went to bed. Only just woken up. Contemplating eating another third and heading off to bed again.

Damn, got the blues again. Have espied song by Rabbi Shergill titled 'Totia Manmotia'. Simply must listen to it.

Speaking of which, there's this hilarious ad on the tele these days. For some wood finishing or something. There's this little Sardar boy who starts speaking Tamil and happens to be the incarnation of Saavithri's Swami. Very funny.

Yes, I do realize that isn't enough information for you to look it up and I'll see if I can post a link to it, stop cribbing.

Have managed to connect to work's Exchange server but cannot attach attachments to email. Sigh. I think I'll go back to bed.

Post note: Have closed all 'acronym' tags with 'a' tags, would you believe.
