The 30-Day Music Challenge

In the efforts of getting back into the swing of blogging again, I have decided to take upon the 30-day music challenge. A challenge where every day of the month, I will post a song based on the list provided below. The idea is to share a little bit about myself through music. But here is the twist. Well, my twist only because I like to be unique. Not only will it help me make sure to post at least one entry a day for the next few months, It'll be something different. Life is blah without music! So here goes...

The Challenge: 30-Day Music Challenge

Contender: Marketing Elite by day, Music lover by night

The Rules and Regulations:

Day 01 – Your favorite song
Day 02 – Your least favorite song
Day 03 – A song that makes you happy
Day 04 – A song that makes you sad

2. The second month will consist of 30 songs that will all be in Hindi. (Third=Bangla, Fourth = Arabic, Fifth = English etc..)

So with that being said, here it goes...

4. Battling the balls that's been thrown at me every other month
a. major car accident
b. drugged by maids to steal 30k from my bag
c. Dengue fever
d. Father and mother falling ill
e. Traffic
5. Touring other cities in this country (aka. The Sunderbans, Cox's Bazaar)
6. ICC World Cricket Cup 2011 in Dhaka

Waking up in my apt in Manhattan this morning has been no less than a full on surreal experience, only because I didn’t know if it was going...
