I went to the live performance of Roger Waters at Manchester on 28th June. More information abt the world tour can be found in http://tour.rogerwaters.com/
This was my first experience at abroad. I have listened some of his music thru "Pink Floyd" connection. Hence, I chose this concert. My observations goes as follows:
1. Money was splashed all over - The lights, visual effects, audio effect - too good to believe.
2. The crowed was too good and were singing along !
3. It was not just a sing and go concert - there was a theme like education, war, Love etc... songs, visuals were chosen very carefully.
4. The stage was so big and was constructed so nicely. White boxes were spread all over and the visuals were beamed into it. I enjoyed every bit of million dollar production.

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.

Titbits on recent chennai events
Titbits on recent chennai events:
1. Law College Violence - I was shocked when I saw the violence clippings in Jaya TV. I realised there was a growing communal tension between SCs and NON SCs as per news reports. There is no excuse for the police for not protecting the students. If outsiders are indulged in this act, the entire college management should be sacked.
The best way out to bring back normalcy would be to shift the college to the outskirts of the city so that admin can easily spot the insiders and outsiders.
2. Economy on the downturn - this is the inference from the general chat with my friends and relatives. Lot of shift change, lay-offs, cut in production have generally increased over past month. Software companies are strongly discouraging work on sat & sun.
3. Real Estate prices are going down for commercial properties. Rentals above 30k for individuals have few takers.
4. Traffic Sense is going down day by day. I had the shock of week end while driving in GN Chetty Road. I was waiting to take U-Turn - One Innova driver came and overtook me in left and tried to cut to make U-turn crossing me ! No space on that road to do that and no sense in driving like that.

Chennai Engineering college admissions
Titbits on Chennai events:
1) Plus two marks have come and the rush for engineering admission started in Tamil Nadu.
According to the trends, the fancy for engineering seat is at the highest and the capitation fee has hit the roof. No one is apparantly talking anything less than 5 Lacs and the rate is going at 8-9 lacs for the most fancies courses. Tamil Nadu police says they cant take any action against colleges as they have not received any complaints !!!
2) Looks like tapping Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary's phone is a child's play. Deccan Chronicle revealed two tapes some time back on Kodanad estate issue. Latest was released by Subramanian Swamy. This tape had conversation of Minister Poongothai with DVAC Chief. Incidentally, The Hindu paper has time to write editorial on every topic happening around the world other than phone tapping scams.
3. Chennai temperature steadily hovering around 41 degrees. So dont come to chennai until atleast end of may. Who ever living in chennai, take shelter under a/c.
4. Very mixed reports on Kuruvi success. Lot of my friends are telling, that they are able to get across the counter ticket. Who ever reserves are of "funny character" in their opinion.

1. Saw the hindi movie "Race" yesterday. What a great movie with non stop twists and turns.... I dont think any one could have guessed even 50% right. Why cant people nominate these kind of movie to Oscar :)
2. Greatly disappointed after some googling on climate change. There is a prediction that by 2050, potato and peanuts would not be available. Come on, i cant imagine :(
3. Saw Dasavatharam trailor in TV. Impressive indeed !!!
4. "Yenda Ratchasha" song from the tamil movie "Singakutti" is lovely and melodious. Janaki Iyer has sung the song really well.

1. The lyrics from the "Aana Ippo" song from the movie "Santosh Subramanian" is very very good.
2. TV Commercial of UTI mutual fund, IPL delhi dare devil are little different and good. Emkay's train commercial music (shown in CNBC) is fascinating.
3. Would somebody ask Leander Paes to shut up? He is loud mouthing like a drunkard. Probably, the media would be really upset about it. I feel Paes and Mahesh B were a divorced couple of last birth :) :) :)

4. Music Director Ram Sampath (Krazzy 4 title track) beat A R Rahman, Pritam, Himesh in one stroke by claiming around 2crore for one song. Poor Roshans they overpaid some one for one average movie !!!

Some titbits:
1. Saw the chilling lahore attack gate crash video in the news channels today and feeling little disturbed.
2. Newyorker Spitzer - Resigned after exposed from a sex scandal. He was a successful state attorney general for 8 years before becoming mayor. Very foolish act of money transaction for his background.
3. What more goodies would come out Ben Bernanke? I am little sceptical about interest rate cuts after mar 18 fed meeting.

1. Two songs from Billa (vethalai, my name is billa ) are beamed only in Isaiaruvi channel and not in any other channel. Donno the logic. But all remix songs are looks so bad after the engeyum eppothum supermix !!!
2. Have you listened to Nakka Mooka song from Kadhalil Vizhunthen movie? I listened to female version song in FM radio while driving.... I thought i had enough of Kuthu songs but this song & kutti pisase song from kaalai are ear shattering...
3. I managed to saw Mudhal Mazhai song from Bheema on Sun Music this week. Trisha wears Black Coat / Suit costume in this song - it suits her like "T".
4. Stock market Comment - US, China, Japan and India's stock market authorities decided to make ECG report mandatory for investors along with other requirements like Bank A/c, Demat A/c, PAN Card etc as the markets are turning real volatile in 2008 ...
5. Query to South India - any one able to see NDTV Imagine or any other recently launched new channels in Dish TV or set top boxes... ?
