The best music for your money's worth

Well, well, well, after my best chai story here I am with another scoop in yet another edition of my rather irregular blog. This time it's going to be music for your ears especially if they are rather partial to quality sound.

After listening to the Sony's, Onkyo's and Bose's of the world get ready to be introduced to the best value for money sound being manufactured right here in apna Delhi.

Handcrafted under the personal supervision of Mr Nakra, whom me and my partner fondly refer to as the Bose-Einstien condensate (he seems a bit of a genius to us) Enbee systems do not have jewels or cubes to boast of but they deliver on one place where it matters most - bang for your buck.

Till date everyone's who's been to a party at our house says a good word about the music system (and ours is 1984 old). Guess how many times has it been serviced in all these years - 0.

Anyway the reason why I am writing this now is the happy conversion of one of my good friends from Mass Comm (who spends half his life in a sound studio so clearly knows what it ought to be) who has just picked up an Enbee for himself. It's not that Bose is not good he said but this quality at this price is simply amazing. That leaves me personally thrilled for some reason.

If you'd like to contact Mr Nakra, visit him or buy an Enbee system of your own leave a comment on this Blog and I'll pass on the details. But hurry, he's in semi-retirement mode and may soon stop making these glorious beauties after all. And that will be one big loss for music-kind!

Does shaadi.com really work for 30+ or the second time?

Given that arranged marriages are the de facto way people get married (and it doesn't work quite as well when you're 30+ or trying the second time around) finding a way to connect the once bitten or marriage shy is both a challenge and an opportunity.

One would think the age new mate engines (sites like shaadi.com) would work well but one look at the 30+ profiles and I quickly logged off for a good couple of months (err I might have to go back though).

It's not the websites fault - it's us.

Seems no one in India splits until they were somehow trapped into marrying the nightmare of their dreams. Every second profile screams "Innocent divorcee" almost like it's some kind of desirable educational qualification. Really?? I wonder. Is there anyone out there who could be kinda repentent but better for the experience. I mean to me that sounds much more acceptable, don't you think! "Innocent..." is probably an invention of the same people who brought you descriptions like "wheatish girl, convent educated from respectable family, BA pass... " the first time around. Well the latter I could use to describe myself partially but never would (you know what I mean?)..so"innocent divorcee"...no way (even if you were taken for a ride)

But till then do people like me have much choice but to browse the likes of Shaadi: I mean one can't expect to run into prospects in a bar in Delhi, or does it happen all the time (and I'm the dummy)?

30 + singles / divorcees out there - your comments please!!!
