Rising Star - Amit Trivedi, Music Director

As a music fan, we have a next rising star in Film Music field - Amit Trivedi.

The composer behind some of the finest albums of the recent past has got immense talent, imagination, composing skills, punch in his side. I am sure you will hear a lot about him in the next 10 years. Now, an intro on him:

Amit is based in Mumbai and started composing music in his 19-20s. He has composed background score for TV serials, Dandiyas and for McDonalds, AirTel ad jingles.

His Aamir OST had some great tracks - Ek Lau track of Aamir was extensively used by NDTV during 26/11 tributes. Phas Gaya (Never Mind) had inmpressive orchestration, instrumentation, arrangement, voice selection and originality.

Then came the stunner called Dev-D. 18 Tracks for 61m and swung across Rock, Band, Hindustani, Punjabi. No other word would describe the album as much as the cliched word "Awesome" !!! Emotional attyachar became a anthem across the Indians and no one can dispute that.

My favourite tracks of Dev-D are Emotional attayachar, paayaliya, aankh micholi. It is a sin if you have not heard this album.

Wake Up Sid had one track of him - A sufi melody called Iktara and won the female singer award in various platforms.

I cant wait to lay my hands on Udaan CD which is releasing this week.

Go green and Cell phone bill

Understood that everyone is talking abt Go Green. But corporate post paid holders need paper print bcoz they need to distinguish personal and official calls to get reimbursement.

Even if i subscribe to email, i hv to take print out.

Instead of sending 100 SMS, emails, voice calls why dont the phone companies talk to the Corporate?
