en�vyn. pl. en�vies
A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another.
--------------------
There are only two phenomena that arouse this feeling in me.
1. Arundhati Roy's political writings
2. Mac OS Programmers (the really geeky but eccentric variety)
To recover from the incompetence and mediocrity that surrounded me this morning, spent 1 hour reading Unsanity's blog. Fun all the way ... love your haxies. Stuff that really should've been embedded in X but Apple decided to leave out just to shatter our already frayed nerves.
A little more about the Farid Ayazuddin Qavaal Group sans Munshi Raziuddin ... watched a video last night that we recorded in February 2003. Realised with startling poignancy, the role of musical conductors. He maintained discipline with subtlety, raised the benchmarks of the performance consistently, wasn't willing to accept any goofups, and just kept everything together ... what an institution. His trademark gestures just made me weep. I wonder if Farid will be able to make the transition gracefully. May just go overboard which would be tragic.
