| My older brother asked me to come and check out the condominium unit he purchased. He wanted some suggestions to make it look sophisticated. It has a nice view of the suburbs and he said that he likes basking in the early morning sunlight. He emphasized that if I'm going to suggest a window treatment, it'd better be not curtains! I remember how my older brother washed the curtains he soiled with chocolate. I told him that he can go store hopping and look for great venetian blinds. Venetian blinds are ideal for his modern furniture as well as keeps the cleaning to a minimum – which almost all men cannot be relied upon, agree?

| My musical tastes are much like a patchwork quilt. I love everything from mainstream pop, to angry 80s punk rock; from rap to folk; from big band to metal, and almost everything in between. I like lots of music because each type of music has its own appeal, whether it is raw emotion through lyrics, complex melodies and harmonies, catchy beats, or interesting chord progressions. As a lifelong musician, I find beauty in all types of music, sometimes much to the chagrin of anyone listening to my iPod on shuffle. My musical quilt, however, does not include country; I’m not sure why, but it makes me want to cut off my ears. | | |
| For her birthday, we wanted to surprise Mom. Dad already purchased a mansion down the countryside and gave us some freedom to decorate it. I was assigned with window treatments. The house was meant to house many guests as we are a large family of 12. Imagine the clutter of the grandchildren! I've always admired how Mom kept the house in proper order despite our number. With her personality, I considered ordering some Roman blinds for the windows at the dining room. I was glad that the store I went to offered patterns of roses to further match the upholstered chairs. I believe I made the right choice – she asked where I ordered them, so she could have some installed at the family room.

| I still remember that on one of my parents’ wedding anniversaries my mother was eagerly waiting for the gift and my father was at a loss in searching the gift bought for my mother. Actually my elder brother has done a naughty thing on that day as he was expert in such activities. When my father was just simply searching for the gift package in the room, he was unable to trace it out. Then my elder brother asked what happened, my father replied that he was searching for the cloth to spread it out on the table, but it was not like that. We both smiled and disclose the whole plan and demanded money for it. | | |
| When it comes to the movie, I always prefer comedy movie to the tragedy and horror one. Life is full of tension, pressure, responsibility, so it seems best for me to go for a comedy movie in the week end or so. One of such movie is ‘Baby’s Day Out’. There are many such comedy movies in Hindi and also in regional languages. But in such movies you will find some real values of life. ‘No Entry’ and ‘Welcome’ are two Hindi movies of the same kind. Jim Kerry and Charlie Chaplin’s movie and documentary are also my choice. Some informational and documentary movies are also my choice. | | |
