Music video featuring me!!

Couldn't have been a more perfect time to start blogging again. I went for a flash mob last Saturday at San Francisco that was published into a music video. Take a look!!!! I start dancing (the one in green on your right) starting at around 3:38 when the flash mob joins in, and then again at the ending of the video. My friend-cum-roommate Amruta makes a cameo at 3:14 .. sitting on a picnic blanket.

The song is Magic Door by artist Marissa Guzman (album Joy Road). The rest of the song is also shot in the streets of the beautiful city SFO.

Since we knew this was going to be shot in a video, it involved driving all the way to SFO city for rehearsals before the d-day, and meeting other folks dancing in it. This is one of the truly exciting things I've done in a long time... and I plan to keep the trend goin.. ;)

Its surreal ..

Like any other day, I stepped out in the morning to get into my car and drive to work. There was a light wind blowing, but strong enough to ruffle the delicate white spring blossoms on the trees. And the petals blew in the soft wind strokes and landed on the windshield of my car :-)

It was surreal and beautiful as I admired the small, white petals resting ephemerally on the glass, before being lifted off by another stroke. Like a painter making brush strokes of white across a big canvas.. like an orchestra conductor composing a symphony with the movements of his arms. And the white petals lined the pavement as I drove by...

Take a moment to stop and stare at the small things around us.. I promise you'll begin your day like me..with a wide admiring smile!

P.S. I dint click this picture myself, but surely searched a bit, optimizing my search strings, to bring you an image as close to how it was.
