I will be busy for the next 6 months over work and might not be able to spare time for blogging, lyrics as before. Will post less and will post when essential....

Mumbai trip

I went to Mumbai, Pune this week after some gap of 3-4 years. Mumbai never fails to surprise me. It brings up something new every time. Just could not figure out how this maximum city survives when a tourist like me bewilders abt the traffic jam on the Bandra flyover.

I drove through Worli Sea Link and felt bit excited. As usual, had bites of street food like vada pav, pani puri and one dish called "bell" - chinese chat item. All were good.

Drove down to Pune through Mumbai - Pune Expressway (done by IRB) in the foggy morning and liked it thoroughly. But the heavy vehicles end up struggling bcoz of hill terrain, curves.

There was a food mall on the way and they were calling "Thoosai" for dosa and "Soombar" for Sambar... had a hearty laugh abt it.

Will write a lot about Pune over next six months for sure...

IPL Vs PAK

IPL chose to omit Pakistan players in the auction. Enough was written by others on this topic and i am late to it.

All I can say, if Indian government wants to hurt Pakistan where it really matters is - then, it could be cricket only !!!

But i would have loved the display of some guts and transparancy instead of blaming each other on this topic.

Chennai will be back to inaction

Chennai is a very different city. Life becomes very interesting starting from Dussera days to Pongal with various activities or festivals like Diwali, Christmas, Music festical, island grounds exhibition spread in between.

You visit so many shops, relatives... plunge deep into carnatic... then relax, take it easy with chennai sangamam folk.

Then, all of a sudden, life turns serious... exams for kids, summer leave...

nothing simply nothing happens and life becomes really predictable for outdoor life especially.

How do you call it... deep slumber? yeap... starting from monday :) Have you felt that way too?

Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa - Music Review

Movie Name: Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa
Music By: A R Rahman
Over all Rating - Excellent

01. Omana Penne By Benny Dayal & Kalyani Menon - 4/5 - Lovely melody., soft ballad with interesting interludes. The end shenoy / nadaswaram music has Dilli 6 hang over although.


02. Anbil Avan By Devan Ekambaram & Chinmayi - 4/5 - One unexpected super fast, techno beat duet with in high tempo.... quite catchy. But i feel the the loud music simply drowns the overall feel of the tune.

03. Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya By Karthik - 4 /5 - soft, slow melody with broadway / Elton John effect.

04. Hosanna By Vijay Prakash, Suzanne D'Mello & Blaaze - 5/5 - Instantly catchy, addictive fusion / melody with terrific rap interlude by Blazee. The end portion music arrangement is some what similar to Enakku 20 Unakku 18.

05. Kannukkul Kannai By Naresh Iyer - 3/5 - Techno track, nicely sung by Naresh. But somehow lacks soul due to loud beat.

06. Mannipaaya By A. R. Rahman & Shreya Ghoshal - 4 / 5 - Simple melody but could emerge as catchy situational song. Decent lyrics with surprising thirukkural playing in end interlude.

07. Aaoromale By Alphons - 5/5 - complete malayalam lyrics; sung like a Blues school of mood by Alphons. He creates the mood of Blues nicely through his accent. Terrific tune and imagination by Rahman. I dont mind considering some 92 out of 5 for this song (Like Thengaai Srinivasan's thillu mullu score).
 
I feel Thamarai has let us down on lyrics for this movie when compared to Kakka Kakka or Vaaranam Aayiram. Overal, an excellent album...

Aus Vs Pak - 2nd test match

178 to win... 4th innings of the match... Pak gives it a royal mess from 34/1 to 139 all out...

What a fascinating test match it was.... Pak controls the match for 3 days but loses the plot completely on 4th day. Aus does not waste the opportunity and seizes it both hands and legs with completely confidence....

No one thought Aussies would pull it through but they made it.... Congrats folks...

Asal - Music Review

Movie Name: Asal
Music By - Bharadwaj
Overall Rating - Very Good

01. Asal By Sunitha Menon - 4/5 - James Bond type tune, nicely sung by Sunitha.

02. Kuthiraikku Theriyum By Surmukhi & SreeCharan - 5/5 - Excellent singing by Surmukhi lifts this catchy techno tune to great heights.

03. Tottodaing By Mukesh & Janani - 3/5 - typical item song., decent tune but bad lyrics make you uncomfortable

04. Yengay Yengay By S. P. Bala - 3/5 - Typical tamil thathuva paatu...

05. Yea Dushyantha By Surmukhi & Kumaran - 4/5 - starts with Paartha gn/yababam illayo humming and shifts to Jab we met - Yea ishq kya hai beat... but overall highly impressive catchy remix of 3 different genres.... dont miss this surprise tune....

06. Em Thandhai By Bharadwaj - 3/5 - simple, slow tune in memory of Sivaji (?)

07. Yengay Yengay By Karthikeyan - 4/5 - slow version... but the music arrangement lifts this version impressively.

Bharadwaj successfully experiments some new things in a mass hero movie. Hope it works well with the fans.

Chennai Book Fair 2010

Chennai book fair is being held from 31st to 10th Jan, 2010.


Time :
Working Days : 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Holidays : 11:00 am to 8:30 pm

Venue :

St.George Anglo Indian School,(opp to Pachayappan college)
Poonamalee High Road,
Aminjikarai, Chennai - 30.

I went on Jan 2nd and liked it. It was a decent collection of publishers with comfortable facilities. Do make your trip and buy some books. Avoid going in the evenings due to crowd. Go in early to enjoy smoother experience.

All (AAL) is not Well

3 idiots movie stirred the controversy of not crediting Chetal Bhagat adequately.

Background: Vidhu Vinod Chopra bought the film making rights of the book five point someone and made 3 idiots. They had valid contract with Chetan Bhagat and made the movie. The movie became a bit hit. But they chose to credit Chetan Bhagat in the end credits. Chetan objected to it and demanded due credit !

What happened then:

Chopra, Raju Hirani claimed the film is hardly based on their novel and credited the scrip writer Hirani, Abhijat.  VVC shouted shut up to the media persons on 2nd Jan and apologies later on 3rd Jan. It turned out to be an shameful and embarrassing video. Even Aamir Khan blasted Chetan Bhagat...

My Opinion

Our movie industry is based on stars and considers everyone else as set property. But Chetan Bhagat is a brand in India and he has got millions of readers behind him. Its it not enough to put a contract and paying money to the author. But putting a title card "Based on the Novel By" does not harm anyone - after all it seldom happens in India when compared to Hollywood.

But discrediting the author and claiming % contribution of the story to the movie is baffling to me. True, scipt writes are imporatna and they work hard to adapt the story to the movie. But crediting the author is totally different and it ought to start happening in India.

I support Chetan Bhagat fully on this episode. I feel the movie makers were arrogant and thought they can fool millions of readers. Its Baffling folks to say the least.

Indian movie industry needs to grow up and adopt hollywood model of movie making based on novel. It cant be star based or production based to claim originality into everything !!!!
