Books, Food & Music.
It was my reading week last week so I went to visit the folks, tagging along a suitcase full of books (homework). Spent the entire week eating everything from haleem to golda chingri (lobster?)--I was in heaven to say the least.
Went to LTH last night, because nothing tastes good after having your mom's cooking, to have some Chicken Tikka Masala. Aficionados of LTH will know that they have been renovating. Anyway, their new bathrooms have been completed and, good heavens, I have never seen such nice bathrooms in a brown establishment that has good food (i.e. not bland and exorbitantly priced)! They even had motion sensored soap dispensers! If the bathrooms are any indication the new LTH is going to be smashing, which can only mean a hike in prices and possibly a decrease in quality. Come to think of it the kulfi tasted kind of weird last night. Why couldn't they have just stayed the LTH we have come to love despite the waiters in purple menu-spouting T-shirts? Why?!
I've been asked to give accompaniment to a ghazal singer for a show in March called Toronto Sangeet 2005. I went to the first rehersal today. As is to be expected, the experience of giving accompaniment was very different to playing solo (which is what I'm used to) so I was quite flabbergasted most of the time. I don't know if it's something that I am comfortable with or can do. And if I can't do it properly I'd rather not do it. I've decided to go to the next rehersal and see how it goes before I decide what I'm going to do.
