Break ke baad!

And so the break up party became a legend. Celebrating the end of a
relationship, that was once considered a long term investment. Calling friends
over to binge and booze, receiving best wishes and break up gifts, even hunting
for a possible next. No bad blood, no rona-dhona, no stalking each other or
strategising moves to hurt one another. Hmmm…how we wish this could actually
happen

Desi Punk

another point to make, “Rock music does not belong to any country.

They are cars, offices, buses and trains. Though we don’t end up chewing things but lack of exercise does lead to lack of energy, headaches, eating disorders and an inability to rationally deal with small vexations. So, isn’t exercising together a great idea?
