What music did I listen to this week?:

One of my Indian friends, Arvind, is a musician who performs at local bars. He plays some older rock covers like Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers. So I've been jamming out to some of his performances. He sings in Hindi, too. Nothing beats live music!

What activity was the most fun this week?:
