Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham ~ You Are My Sonia!

I admit I was not too into Bollywood untill I met my friend Nurmaidah from Sorowako, Sulawesi. My gosh she was so into it, I bet she watched every Bollywood movie that ever entered Indonesia! Talk about Bollywoodization! When we carried out our university community service in East Flores (KKN Flotim 04), one of the remote islands east off Java, the young girls there danced to the music of You Are My Sonia!
I have not ever followed-up on where it came from till now (3 years later!) when my India-Pakistani friend asked me to watch ‘DOR.’ So here it is, a tribute to my growing interest in Hindi movies :)

OK, I’VE GIVEN UP TRYING TO EMBED THIS VIDEO ON THE NEW VERSION OF WORDPRESS, SO HERE’S THE LINK

C’mon ladies, have some freedom n’ dance to this tune :)

Spring Clock

As of today, Stillwater is officially back to 12 hours different to Yogyakarta! Well, that’s easier to keep track of. If it’s noon here, it’s midnight back home, if it’s noon at home, please never call me pass that time!

Daylight savings time has begun again, giving more time for the farmers to cultivate their crops. Happy planting!

This is the first year that the switch to Daylight Savings Time has started early. Usually, we move the time forward 1 hour on the first Sunday in April but now is on the second Sunday in March.

From an environmental point of view, we’ll lessen our energy consumption! Less time that we have to turn on our lights!
