Eden fiasco - a funny take

Ground inspection is going on by ICC. An imaginative, funny take on how the inspection would have got carried out...

ICC: Can we inspect the ground ?
Eden Off: yes pls
ICC: How many stands we have ?
Eden Off: 10
ICC: How many are ready ?
Eden Off: all are ready. but you are supposed to check it. Dont you want to check?
ICC: Yes., we will check. Why no chairs on this stand?
Eden Off: Chairs will be put in another 10 days. you see., there will be dust when construction is going on. so., we want that to get over.
ICC: When this stand 7 will get ready ?
Eden Off: dont tell anybody sir... this was ready some 5 months before. But the top three rows got collapsed and then we rectified it. It is almost ready now.
ICC: (didnt know what to react)... now, is it ready or not ?
Eden Off: yes, it is ready now. only painting is pending.
ICC: Why the Debris is remaining all over?
Eden Off: If we clean all the debris, it will bring drishti. we will remove it 15 days before the match.
ICC: What is drishti ?
Eden off: you see., folks who walk inside will say "wow","beautiful"... that will bring drishti. and it is not good for the stadium.
ICC: Where about the lights ?
Eden Off: Tower is there. We bought Crompton lamps instead of Philips to save some money. But we cant test it now.
ICC: Why ?
Eden off: We have not paid the Electricity bill during last three months. bcoz, construction work was going on. No need for light... you know...
ICC: Faints....

Gone case

Dont understand the fuzz about flag hoisting in J & K. After all., J & K state consumed enough money from GDP over many years., sacrificed many souls....

but still... one cant hoist a flag.... only privileged people can do it twice a year ... i suppose... otherwise, it is viewed as crime !

Generalists to the fore

India is run by two significant set of people.

One is IAS Officers - They are normal graduates, post graduates. Does clear hell lot of civil services / UPSC exams and gain the post. They are rotated randomly inside government over their career across various divisions and manage the show.

They are mainly generalists.... But they take decisions like running a power project or constructing a dam etc.

Second set is High Court Judges - For the past 20 years, they have a say in every big policy decision made in India... right from Caste quota or job quota, various financial fraud cases, 2G etc...

What is interesting is... Can you or me become a General Manager in say Big Bazaar, Toyota showroom ....

Mass crowd is dangerous

India's population has grown exponentially.... Infrastructure is no match for the demand. Hence, Sabarimala cannot handle 1.2 crore people in 45 days duration.

It is foolish to presume "no risk" mentality to go places like Kumbhmela, Sabarimala to quote as example... We are in a country where there is no value for life, risk, protection, organised approach, Queue system or quota system or any scientific measurement based ticketing system.

In fact, parents make the kids to follow "no footwear" in those period ... I feel like slapping their parents than kids. Senseless is the only word.

Note : I am not against going to temples but against mass visits.

KO - Music Review

Movie Name - KO
Music By Harris Jeyaraj


The less is better about the music of Ko. Harris fails to come out of his comfort zone for the N-th time. So., the album sucks big time and sounds highly repetitive, mundane.

Ennamo Yedho is the only brilliant pick of the lot.

Track List

01. Ennamo Yeadho
Aalaap Raju & Prashanthini

02. Gala Gala
Tippu, Krish, Haricharan & Sayanora Phili

03. Venpaniye
Sriram Parthasarathy & Bombay Jayshree

04. Aga Naga
Vijay Prakash, Tippu, Ranina Reddy, Priya Subramani & Solar Sai

05. Netri Pottil
Naresh Iyer

06. Amali Thumali
Hariharan, Swetha Mohan & Chinmayi

Busy 45 days

Hi Folks., Long time since i had simple post to update you all...

1. Had a busy 45 days from Dec first. Came back from Pune., had to set domestic issues in order.

2. Had a lot to catch up with family, friends and relatives. Went around a bit and met first circle.

3. Then, December music festival started. Had season ticket for Parthasarathy swami sabha, Mylapore. Listened close to 15 concerts. Marked improvement in my listening skills w.r.t carnatic music.

4. Working on to identify raagas. As of now., little comfortable in Taalam !

5. Some work at office too. Driving down to MEPZ (21km) is bit tiring and creating little discomfort in knee joints. So., avoiding peak hours as of now.

6. Finally., linked my domain name to my blog. You will be able to see "www.svijayganesh.com" hereafter instead of accessstreet.blogspot.com.

7. Will try to write generic posts regularly from this month...

8. Will post Lyrics only if it is really interesting.... or if it is from a quality composer. and will avoid sundry songs from 2011.

Lyrics of If I rise from 127 hours

Dido and A.R. Rahman – If I Rise Lyrics from 127 hours Movie
Director - Danny Boyle


Dido:

In your life, your mad
In your car, your sad
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
More than it is

Dido:

If I rise, one more chance
All our dreams, more than this
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

A R R:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

Child Chorus:

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call
Though I’ve never lost
Believe I don’t care
Never again

A R R & Dido:

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

Child Chorus:

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call

Dido:

If I believe, there’s more than this
Anymore than this

No One Killed Jessica - Movie Opinion

I saw No One Killed Jessica at Satyam on Jan 6th Evening show (Blind date).

Plus Points

1. Rocking first half
2. very decent screen play
3. Neat Casting
4. Punch dialogues
5. Not crossing the limits or too much of melo drama or underplay of emotions when the incident still lingers on mind - Thats's the best contribution from the director Rajkumar Gupta of Aamir Fame.

Minus Points

1. Second half could have been tighter
2. Characters left or introduced in midway - Example Inspector role, Head of TV types....

Over all - Worth watching for the promising director & Rani's lovely role.
