#86: New Headphones, New Instruments

With an endless variety of headphones available in the market today, we audiophiles love upgrading to better headphones don't we? But what's the best part about getting new headphones?







For me, its that first moment when I plug them in to listen to my favorite song and the superior sound quality makes me realize..."Wow!! This song is so much better than I knew it!!" Those subtle nuances in the vocals of your favorite singer that you never noticed before, the instrument playing faintly in the background never heard before, discovering these is like falling in love all over again.

       

Of course you then repeat it with all your favorite songs and before the day is up, you end up humming and smiling like the infatuated hero in a Hindi movie. Little silly, but truly awesome!!

P.S.: Please do leave your comments and suggestions or requests for #85. Thanks for reading

#87: The Unexpected Win

Have you ever entered a competition (quiz, debate, sports, art and craft, anything at all really), knowing all well in advance that your chances of winning fare no better than this guy here.


                           

Doesn't it feel great to be the underdog for once? To be doing something out of your comfort zone just for the fun of it. When its not about winning but just having a good time. Believe me, in today's competitive times, this is a rare luxury, meant to be cherished. (Top 100 Moment? Not yet)

Here's the icing on the cake: Remember that moment when mid-way, with scores tied, you suddenly realize - "Wait a minute, if I continue whatever it is that I'm doing, I can actually beat this guy!!" (Top 100 Moment? nah, just a bit longer to go)

Well the cherry, on top of the icing on the cake is that if you carry on with nerves of steel, a whole lot of rubbish football or half-cooked quiz answers later, you may just find yourself yelling..."What?! I won?! Seriously??!! Woohoooo!! Yeaahh!!" Top 100 Moment? Hell Yes!!

P.S. I dont know if you've been in this place before, but if you have, admit it, you felt just this way didnt you??
