Good thread to create bonhomie amongst members; at least the regular ones. I've stickied it. Carry on folks.
We have 2K+ views on this thread and only 50 odd unique responses. So, going by the stats, we can safely assume that the majority of the members here must be cabinet ministers, celebrities or CIA operatives under cover

I listen to music almost every day without fail together with my two dogs.

I have two dogs who are great music appreciation buddies. Great company when music is on.
Sometimes the little one inserts her "remix" into the music (Always snoring bulldog).
The older one, he sings/whines "at me" everyday before meal time (Always hungry boxer).
Cheers,

Actually when the boxer starts begging to be fed, he sits in that upright position facing me.Do they have a particular liking for HMV records?
Do you get to listen to music while on-board? Personal audio or there are also recreation centres with stereo systems? I guess the music of the oceans provides a soothing background to whatever is played! Do you explore music scene at the shores where you land? Any stories to relate.
Hi Sachin
I don't carry a mobile rig with me for music when I sail. Usually I have some 2.1 computer speakers on every ship. So that keeps belting in my awake hours. I always enjoy music on everything
So no audiophile requirements for me
what ever I am interested I just switch without bothering about career, hike, designation.... just fun!
Oops.. I forgot to add that I finished A.M.I.E (Computer Engineering) ten years after my D.E.E.E. The entire 5 years of graduation study was self education. Get list of books prescribed, study at home (while working) and write exams. It was a lot of fun to clear all exams in five years period of timeI started my career as Service Engineer after Diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engg. and worked for 9 years inluding Diesel alternator servicing. Then switched as Service Engineer for Keyboard/Mouse (helper kind of, not really a Service Engineer) and System Administration, Testing in Finance domain, Development, MicroControllers, Linux Device Drivers, Storage technologies and now in Seagate Technologies (Yes, Hard disk drive...!) as R&D VLSI Verification Engineer in Chip design division. You would have noticed I have not grown vertically, what ever I am interested I just switch without bothering about career, hike, designation.... just fun!
Yeah, financially and corporate career wise I have lost a lot. But not personally! I have full job satisfaction irrespective of anything around at works.I'm jealous!
Hi
Friends
Music is the strength that brings people of various professions under the same firmament. I have been teaching in a govt run high school for near about 20 years. I had my graduation from the university of Calcutta and masters from the Burdwan university. I can't afford to be an audiophile but try my best to feel music,specially the Indian classical ,Rabindrasangeet, Bengali adhunik and old Bollywood movie songs. In my childhood I learnt to sing and to play Tabla. Now I am happy with my photography ,reading habits and vinyls . Many thanks to friend Celester 340as he started this nice thread.
Regards
Bhaskar
