Laloo: haan., haan...

No longer a democracy

India is no longer a democracy – It is Anarchy L

• Month after month, attacks after attack – Nothing changes
  
• Terrorists improving their scale of operations consistently – But our polices are not
  
• Congress is solely responsible for the situation of country as they ruled us for so long
  
• Our Politicians are next to blame – they were bothered only about making money
  
• IAS officers are next to blame – they tactfully developed error free kick back system
  
• In the end, crores of people left wondering in disbelief – is this the India they loved ?
  

 

Ghajini (Hindi) - Music Review

Album - Ghajini (Hindi) - Music Review
Music By - A R Rahman
Overall Rating - Must Listen

01. Guzarish By Javed Ali & Sonu Nigam - 4.5/5 - Lovely song, beautifully sung by Javed, humming by Sonu, really catchy tune; trust they dont imagine sunset for the end humming portion :) The little bit of additional drumming reminded me of final portion Oh Bhavrey song from Daud.

02. Aye Bachchoo by Suzanne - 4.5/5 - Inviting dance number with robust beat; Rock(ing) guitar put to good use before the end of song; Timepass lyrics !

03. Kaise Mujhe By Benny Dayal & Shreya Ghoshal - 3/5 - Slow number; Benny fails to hold our attention for the first time ! The beginning music made me to wonder whether ARR is preparing himself for background score for movies like Crash! I liked the female humming before the second stanza.

04. Bekha By Karthik - 5/5 - Surprising fusion of rock, jazz and carnival type drumming; fantastic singing by Karthik; Rahman simply freaks out in this imaginative track;

05. Lattoo Lattoo By Shreya Ghoshal - 4/5 - Foot tapping, fast number; Wow... what a meaningless lyrics !

06. Kaise Mujhe (INSTRUMENTAL) By Guitars: Neil Mukherjee & Flutes: Kiran - 4/5 - Impressive shot for peace !

Poo - Music Review

Album - Poo - Music Review
Music By - S.S.Kumaran
Overall Rating - Wonderful Folk Album

01. Choo Choo Maari By Mirudula S, Parthasarathy, Srimathi - 4.5/5 - wonderfully tuned, written kid song after probably Anjali, lovely singing and arrangement of music;

02. Maman Engirukka By Harini, Karthik, Tippu - 4.5 / 5 - fine beginning for this Catchy tune, Harini's song; Robust music in interludes and good usage of flute;

03. Aavaram Poo By Chinmaye - 4.5/5 - Lovely melody expressing longingness, Chinmayee does justice in this mesmerising number;

04. Paasa Mozhi By S.S.Kumaram - 3 / 5 - brief ballad, bad pronunciation makes you to uncomfortable in an otherwise soft, simple number;

05. Dheena By Hemambiga, Shankar Mahadevan - 4/5 - Eeriness in air in the beginning but turns normal afterwards, wonderful use of melam; listen to the fusion of tabla and melam in before the charanam 2 - Wow... but overall tune is just pass;

06. Sivakasi Rathiyae By Periya Karuppu Thevar - 4/5 - beautiful lyrics brings smile on our face on this folk tune

What I liked:

1. Rural, folk, village sound broughtout in some wonderful tunes
2. Thoughtful usage of simple instruments
3. Cant believe that S S Kumaran is debutant music director on the quality of music
4. Pray that this team to win some music awards as one can see the great effort put in

Could have been the best album of the year if they could have avoided Maestro Ilayaraja's school of music in arrangement !!!!!
