CWG Theme Song 2010!

So finally A.R.Rahman is ready with the CWG Theme Song 2010. Yet another vibrant track by Rahman! He tweeted the topic which got re-tweeted by 100+ (that includes me!) in 25 minutes flat! Loved the electric guitar music. And the beats at the end do give a desi feel to the song! Here is the link provided by him:

Enjoy..Jai Ho!

vocab for the week 54

a bite of the cherry  (British & Australian) 

a part of something good, especially when there is not enough for everyone who wants it  

eg. Job-sharing would give twice as many people a bite of the cherry.

vocab for the week 53

Well, change is good they say and hence I've decided to give the 'vocab for the week' label a makeover. I'll be updating an idiom with its meaning and an example. That doesn't mean The Hindu (the original vocab source) ain't good enough! Am all grateful to it :) As for now, here is some vocab for you:

a banana skin  (British)

something which causes or is very likely to cause embarrassing problems  

eg. The new tax has proved to be a banana skin for the government.
