The Girl That I Disliked ...

I am surprised at myself that I am putting Tishma up on my blog page. This is the girl (read: artist) that I pretty much disliked very much. However, watching this video, it appears that she is on her way to be maturing. I wish her all the best.









I really enjoyed the next video music very much, specially after my last visit to Dhaka in 2011.  I would like to give you a fair warning though -this song is a bit funky :-)
