I suppose the only thin that a S/W Engr most eagerly looks forward, is the weekend. I am not sure about others but I eagerly look frwd for a weekend to come. I get to spend some time at home, cleaning chores as usual.
This weekend I am plannin to watch a movie .... and I have no clue as to which movie would it be. Its been almost 2 months now that I watched a movie ...
My last movie was Salaam-E-Ishq, and trust me it was the most idiotic movie I have ever watched till date.
I would rate it -1.5/5 .

Latin affinity ......
Of late I have developed a new interest in Latin American music and dance. Jus a few weeks back I got the opportunity to watch this movie which characterizes the male protagonist as an ardent Salsa/Mambo dancer(Havana Nights).
Salsa music is a fusion of traditional African and Cuban and other Latin-American rhythms that traveled from the islands (Cuba and Puerto Rico) to New York during the migration, somewhere between the 1940s and the 1970s, depending on where one puts the boundary between "real" salsa and its predecessors. There is debate as to whether the dance we call Salsa today originated in Cuba or Puerto Rico. Salsa is one of the main dances in both Cuba and Puerto Rico and is known world-wide.
The basic movement occurring in the dance patterns of the various salsa styles is the stepping on the beat of the music. Salsa is best grouped in pairs of 4-beat patterns counted "1-2-3-...-5-6-7-...". The leader starts on count 1 by stepping with the left foot. On count 2 and 3, they step with right and left, respectively. On count 4, the lead pauses or makes an optional tap with the right foot. On counts 5, 6, and 7, they step with right, left, and right, respectively, again followed by a pause on count 8. The follower part is identical, but shifted by 4 beats, so that as the leader's left foot steps forward, the follower's right foot steps back. In most styles, the leader starts with the left foot and the follower starts with the right foot regardless of the pattern about to be danced.
There are various Salsa styles. Cuban Style, Los Angeles Style, New York Style are a few to name (Salsa)

About me ..........
I am a very jolly-go type and love to have fun. I was a very quite gal in my school dayz but thins turned 180 degrees as soon as I reached college. I was a complete prankster in my college dayz... I had loads of fun at college .... I still miss those dayz :( . I wish I could go back to college .... :), but I believe in the fact that life moves on ..... I still cherish those dayz of fun when we were made to miss our first session if we were late. Our fav hangout place was our college canteen, where we had lived our lives through all the ups and downs.
Nywayz ..... now back to "About me ........", I have done my schoolin in various parts of the country, so I tend to learn the local language quite easily .... one of my fav schools being St. Pauls English School at B'lore.
My hobbies include:
I am a complete music freak .... I lov music irrespective of its origin or source. For me music is somethin which conveys a lott without actually tellin anythin, somethin which amalgamates your body and soul.
I am also a die-hard SRK fan .... I nev miss watchin any of his movies ...... a very common phenomenon among gals.
I am also an ardent Cricket fan though its getting a lil difficult to follow-up these dayz coz of my work schedule.
And last but not the least, I love reading Fiction novels ...... my fav's being Sidney Sheldon, Jeffrey Archer, Robin Cook, Frederick Forsyth, and many more .......
My Fav Color:
I donot really have any one particular color to mention as my fav, coz I lov all the colors tht nature has ...... by and large I would probably go with "Blue"
