#2takes: Somebody That I used to Know by Gotye covered by Walk off the Earth
I discovered the original song “Somebody that I used to know” sometime last year. Gotye wasnt so famous then. There were hardly 100,000 views and now there are 250mn+. Thats what the billboard can do to you.
It is also the new “rolling in the deep”, so many more edm mixes!
#2takes: Oh land’s Lean. Quite an intense song. A favourite, a past obsession.
This video is the one with the String Quartet.
The other one is the album version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1LpoMauZPY
The changing face of Europe from 1000 AD to 2000 AD. It would have been awesome if they had an year counter at a corner.
A beautiful song from the Mani Ratnam, A.R Rahman and Veturi triumvirate. Not their best work together but definitely very nostalgic to a lot of telugu people in their twenties

The Secretary
It is quite an important position. The secretaries are the cogs in the machinery called the firm keeping everything in place and running in order smoothly. Secretaries arent as big a deal in India as they should be(hey, when do things ever happen smoothly here?) but they sure seem to be quite vital in offices all over the western world, especially USA.
What makes me come to this conclusion? Their media ofcourse. Watch enough movies and tv and you will know what I mean. I am a huge fan of Mad Men and you will see every partner/accounts person/creative head having a secretary. These secretaries schedule appointments, print out documents and generally handle all the small things they need to be done. In that era women took up secretarial positions as a starting step to a career or other things.
The West Wing has been a recent find and the role of the secretaries in this white house drama is even higher. They are managing the people who help run the administration, people who are the hand and feet and other critical organs to the POTUS. These people are slogging it out with congressmen and senators, diplomats and bureaucrats, key republicans and democrats, the military and the media to take care of the public by doling out laws and policies and handling situations and crises. Their secretaries are the one keeping them highly functional beings. They are akin mothers and wives to these very brilliant individuals who wouldnt know what to do without them. There are no secrets between an executive and his secretary. 
The secretary, like the tv shows seem to portray, know their bosses really well. They know their habits, lifestyles, tastes, thought processes and needs maybe better than the boss himself. The other Donna (From Suits) is perhaps a tribute to the Donna from West Wing, who knows her boss really well and knows/keeps the pulse of the workplace. They are extremely efficient and incredibly indispensable. Blessed are the people with such secretaries.
For the writing team, The secretary (who has been around for long)is an ideal character to have a lovely banter with setting up comedy, drama and even the idea of romance (but no romance itself). If you have something going on you can depend on the secretaries to know!
Long live the Secretaries!
This is the promotional (music) video for Aamir Khan’s upcoming travelogue ‘Satyamev Jayate’. Have a lot of thoughts on it which I will share later. For now, just enjoy the video :)
