Hmm. Is it possible to buy a tin of that at the corner shop? It seems to me I noticed some once, next to the tins marked 'Sleep' and 'Relaxation'. :D Several friends have asked when I'm starting the next album, however, and I have only two words for them: "Not yet" !!! Thank you for the good wishes, they mean a lot. :)

If I had my choice, I'd be doing either radio/audiobooks or theatre full time, but I'm not there yet. My piano CDs tend to be listed under Classical New Age or Classical Healing; they're generally hard to classify as they're "thinking music" (as one friend puts it) and not merely easy listening or "please ignore me!" music. I was online for most of Pakistan's innings, and I managed to check in on the first innings from time to time. I was impressed that Pakistan held India down to so few runs, and I'll admit, somewhat worried. However, that was nothing compared to the stress of the last 10 or 12 overs during India's innings! Talk about riveting! I'm glad to know I'm not the only person short of nails this week. :D I will indeed try to make time to get back to 'Silly Points' - it's been far, far too long.

What kind of music do you write? I presume you arrange it as well, must be quite challanging. Did you get any time off to watch the thrills (and spills) of India's win? Even though not a fan of the 20/20, I got hooked into it and bit almost all my nails off in the process. Drop by our forum when you have time, Nospinquest and I are trying to rejuvenate it.

I have less and less respect for so-called "professional athletes" who appear to be completely self-absorbed.

I am sure the young boy would cherish those moments. That was really a good gesture by dhoni as he gifted his T20 world cup winning shirt to a young kid.
