16. download and sort 10 new songs


So I've been downloading music for more than a decade now. In college, I started creating my own music collection (I speak of it as if I was creating my own music. I wish!), everything arranged neatly into relevant folders. My friends at the time can vouch for that because they relied on me for all new music, mostly Hindi Bollywood stuff (one sadly still does, much to his own disappointment). And most of it went through (what I thought at the time was) a thorough screening process. If I didn't like it, it was banished from my collection. I didn't care if it was top of the charts and playing at every pub and club. And then, I (somehow) graduated from college and now I have no time to look after my music collection. I keep adding new music to it but I never have the time (that's a lie) and energy (that is the truth) to sort it out. My 'unsorted' folder (yes I have one) just keeps growing and growing. I hate to admit it but even today, for these 10 new songs, I did not sort them ...

These were the songs (I couldn't find a couple of them on Grooveshark):

11. learn and memorize 10 new words


10 new words:
  1. animadvert
  2. parergon
  3. aesopian
  4. flounce
  5. collogue
  6. revenant
  7. gadabout (sounds a lot like 'get about')
  8. chichi
  9. darkle
  10. rapine
Also. Yesterday, I heard this 'song' (from the upcoming movie Rockstar) for the first time. And I cannot get it out of my head. It's a poem by Rumi. It's just a few lines, and such simple ones at that. But something about it has imprinted itself in my memory. I cannot stop playing the words in my head ...

do you know?
miles and miles away from this place,
beyond the realms of right and wrong,
there's a field.
I will see you there.
