Ghazals

I haven't had much of a chance to take pictures lately, as work is once again kicking my ass pretty hard. We will be having a holiday party on Friday, so you'll have to wait 'til then for some photos/video. However, I have been listening to a lot of Hindi and Urdu music lately, as a result of instituting a mandatory music in the case room policy to keep my team awake. Everyday, a new person gets to be the "DJ" and share their favorite songs while we work. People mostly play a lot of current Bollywood dance/pop hits, though one team member is an inexplicably huge John Denver fan. (And everyone really seems to like the Backstreet Boys, including their new album, which I am sad to have become very familiar with.) My favorite songs are the old Bollywood Ghazals,Urdu love songs that are full of mournful longing and dramatic orchestration. One of the guys on my team was kind enough to burn me a CD, and I thought that some of you might be interested in listening, too. You can download the album here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xtn4hz.
