My blog
was started for TES – Technology Entertainment and Science. But I did not do
justice to entertainment since I have written only 1 article in that.
Let me
compromise a bit – an article about my favorite movies and songs in 2012 - which
I never want to miss. Some of them may have released before 2012, but I’ve
heard them this year and thanks to my music freak cousin for sharing most of
them
Also it is
my personal opinion and I don’t discount other songs and movies at all
Try the
songs and movies listed (if you haven’t done yet) – hope you will enjoy it!!
