Holiday Music

I have been listening to some international music these days. Talk about Paris being a global city. Actually I am using a common room computer with no music. So have stumbled on some internet radios. When the bollywood masala on Raaga and the Radio Teentaal of Paris gets boring I explore other radio streams. Right now I am listening to some stream called "World Mauritius Sega". The songs automatically makes me think of beaches and holidays. They sure have been holidaying for long now to have made their music like this :).

The trip to Paris has been one long holiday. I am absolutely wasting my days here. If we don't count being tourist to a lot of european cities. I see people preparing for the final placements(long time to go), some participating in business fests, writing papers or on the least reading up something. The courses are absolute freaking waste as compared to India. I tried learning French but learning a foreign language which eats up half the consonants in pronounciation. Gets difficult for a "absoulutely phonetic" Hindi speaker. French is on the other end in this regard. Beucoup is bokoo, Denfert is donfur. It is just impossible which is pronounced aan-possi-bley.
