B4U Music - Titbits

Watched B4U Music for close to two hours today to catch up with Jaane Tu's pappu song. My reaction to 2 hours observation here below as titbits:

1. Fell in love with Badi Albeli Hai Tu song from the hindi movie Khushboo. Music by Adnan Sami. Lovely beats, very energitically sung by Udit Narayan & Sunidhi Chauhan.
One more lovely song Kyon Hai Mujhe lagta is sung by Adnan Sami and Shreya Ghosal. Try it folks...

2. De Taali's title track has got fabulous rhythm.

3. Two old people Sunil Dutt and Manisha Koirala are dancing to the tune of Mehboob's song. Music by Ismail Darbur. Poor track.

4. Mere Baap Pehle Aap's trailors are very good and catchy. Priyadarshan (only consistent successful director of Hindi Movies from south) makes this one really cool. A movie trailors is supposed to introduce the movie to audience which our priyadarshan executes cleanly. Just compare with trailors of Tashan, Black & White - one can see the difference. Mahesh Bhat groups comes next in producing good trailors.

5. Sarkar Raj trailor is damn good. Looks like RGV is back with a vengence. Bird inside me tells that gorgeous Ash would steal the show in the movie than others.

6. Finally, Jaane Tu Song - Aditi song is catchy and cool. Pappu cant dance track starts of well and lyrics are good. But Who is pappu - trust it is not Salman Khan !!!

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.

Another City, Another Serial Blast

Another City, Another Blast, Same old statements !!!

"Barbaric attack on the innocent people"

"We will bring the capture the culprits behind the blast and bring them to books"

"Remain Calm"

"Don't politicise the issue"

"Soft on terror"

"Help of Foreign Hand seen"

"Intelligence alert was issued before 3 months to ------"

I am really scared about terrorism spreading to small cities... Pray god would give us strength to live despite the odds...

Update: India is competing with Israel, Palestine, Lebanon on number of terrorist strikes !!! & the last two blast cases remain un-solved.

Intelligence against Nature

Human being has come all the way from darvin's theory to landing on the moon....

But we consistently failed to track the nature in terms of erupting volcanos, earth quakes, tsumanis etc... How come no sign of warnings for devastating China's earth quake?

Instead, we spend so much of money against military power, spy satellites, one stupid oil war on Iraq (& the price of Oil is trading at historical high of $125), submaries, war tanks, lovely modern guns etc... Sad indeed :(

Man U - EPL Crown

I am not a great football fan. But i had to watch the finals match today with my young cousins.... Man U played brilliantly - where as Chelsea was bit subdued throughout the match. That made a difference in retaining the English Premier League crown by Man U - for the 10th time !!!!!

Kudos to Alex Ferguson, Rooney, Giggs, Ronaldo & Tevez for holding on with the gruelling schedule.

Turkey F1 - Massa's hat-trick

Lovely race overall. Massa scored his hat-trick in Turkey. Hamilton surprised with three pit stop and came 2nd. Kimi had a quite 3rd position.

Kubica, Rosberg had a good race. Force India's Fischella drove as if he is driving a metro water lorry in crowded JC Road before crashing... He had a real bad week end.... Super sunday for Ferrari !!!
