Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya (MOVIE REVIEW)

On a friday afternoon....I made through the bulging traffic of Jaipur Highway & MG Road.....to reach PVR MGF on time for the 3:25 show.....of the movie...that I wished to see in Kerala 2 weeks ago for just 30 bucks...in some air conditioned movie hall.....unfortunately...the movie released today.....4 days after I made my return.....from God's own country....hmmm....lets talk about this movie now....which one..u ask???....its VINNAITHAANDI VARUVAAYA .....which translates to.....

REHNA HAI TERE DIL MEIN .......and like his previous flick.....this time...too....the Hero...is a young jobless mechanical engineer.....who is more creative than technical......and Our dear...

மன்னிப்பாய Mannipaaya Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya OST Shreya Ghoshal and AR Rehman My Rating - 9.1/10 Reflections Great track.....even though Shreya Ghoshal is the one who sizzles throughout the song....but the highlight of the song.....well....erm....its not the occassional Rehman who plies...but the chorus.....humming along with the warm string orchestrating in the backdrop...... Just a great song.....although...Omana Penne is still better.....yet this song...has its uniqueness too.... GREAT LYRICS......WONDERFUL...

Home (Daughtry)

Well....as I pack my bags....for my trip...down the country...to the place I call home...I would like to leave you with this one song....HOME by Daughtry..... Its one of those songs...that brings strong emotional tears into my eyes...... excerpts frm wikipedia- " Home " is a 2007 song by American rock band Daughtry from their self titled debut album. The song had been climbing up the U.S. charts for a few weeks before the song was announced as second single (possibly due to its use on  American Idol  as the show's "vote off" song). Chris Daughtry wrote the song on the couch the day before he left for  American Idol . The theme of the song centers around the singer being grateful for what he has, but still longing for his family. Therefore, he realizes it is best if he comes home, where he is surrounded by love. He states during the chorus: I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going hom

भारतीय चलचित्र की दुर्दशा

हुआ क्या है? हा? क्या पता, क्या हुआ! एक वक़्त था, जब भारतीय सिनेमा दुनिया भर में उसके नैतिक्ता के लिए जानी जाती थी| पर आज वह वक़्त, वह पल, ज़माने के उलझनों में कही खो सा गया है! आश्चर्य होता है, जब टी.वी चालु करते ही अंग-भंग दर्शाती हुई नचनिया दिखाई पड़ती है! हाँ! मानता हुं मैं ये के ज़माना बदल गया है, नर और नारी के बीच जो फासले बनाये गए थे वो सिमटने लगे है, किन्तु ये द्वारे कब खुलने लगे? रुपये कमाने का नया तरीका, अंगो का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हुए दस मर्दों के बीच अशलील हरक़तो को मध्य नज़र बनाते हुए नाचना! क्या आसान रास्ता अपनाया है इन औरतो ने| इनके निर्देशक ये समझते है के ऐसे विचारहीन एवं प्रतिभाहीन झरोके परवाने से लोगो वास्तविकता से दूर एक काल्पनिक दुनिया मैं खींच के लाया जा सकता है जो काम वासना से भर पूर्ण हो! और इनसे इनके चाहने वाले भी बढ़ गए है, जो दिन मैं इनके प्रदर्शन देखे रात भर सपनो मैं इनके साए लिए फिरते है! मनुष्य के नैतिक्ता पर इतना बड़ा प्रश्न चिन्ह लगा दिया गया है| लेकिन किसी को कोई परवाह नहीं | एक तरफ नारी संघठन वाले कहते है के नारी माँ होती है, बेहें होती है एवं जननी होत

ஓமான பெண்ணே / ഓമന പെണ്ണെ/ Omana Penne  (Darling Girl) Singers : Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon | Malayalam Lyrics : Kalyani Menon My Rating - 9.8/10 Reflections Whoaaaaa!...........Rahman.....u r impossible!....................no..no....this is no negative remark...rather a remark of FASCINATION......coz...thats what one would feel after listening to this marvel of a ballad!.....OMANA PENNE boasts of vocals from BENNY DAYAL and a lil cameo by KALYANI MENON who has penned down the malayalam part for this song.......Its absolutely....unmissable...even if you don't understand Tamil or Malayalam....forget that fact...go for this track....listen to it once...and you'll automtically listen to it again...your ears will play that track throughout the day....and might even haunt you in your dreams.... Whats more perfect? Rahman's composition....Kalyani's lyrics...or Benny's vocals?...Rahman deserves unprecedented credits....but I don't think stripping off Benny

Aman Ki Asha (Reflection and Translation in English)

अमन की आशा (A wish for peaceful/Secure Nation) Shankar Mahadevan, Rahet Fateh Ali Khan Gulzar "The two leading media houses of India and Pakistan - The Times of India and the Jang Group - have come together to develop a stronger Track 2 in the diplomatic and cultural relations between India and Pakistan. "Aman ki Asha: Destination Peace" looks beyond the confines of a 62-year-old political boundary to the primal bonds that tie together the two peoples." This is what I got from The Times Of India's online section on Aman ki Asha........... Now, recently they released the first single from the album.....titled Aman Ki Asha ........ अमन की आशा ....penned down by the legend himself- GULZAR SAAB..........and vocals rendered by Our very Shankar Mahadevan and Rahet Fateh Ali Khan ( from across the border....:).... ) The track opens up on the peaceful notations of a piano...or is it a jaltarang?..sorry...I really don't know....but whatever it is......mo

Petals (My Photographs)

©   20 10 K Hari, KAAMA Vol II. I still don't believe it when I look at this photo----- THAT I SHOT IT ! Someone on facebook complimented this photo as AWESOME ! and to this.,....I could only say one thing....." Such is God's creation.....AWESOME! " Petals is a very simple work....yet it defines boundaries that I could never transcend previously.....Boundaries..that now I believe.....I can cross......shot with a simple Sony digicam ...and further manipulated using Lightroom and Photoshop...this will remain one of the first of its kinds from my side......and one of my favourites too....... It all happened yesterday while I was returning from a trip to the Singh Sahib Gurudwara............everyday I would walk past that Dahlia bush (placed arcadiously at the entrance of my apartment).......without noticing it.....or at the most.....just brushing by its reddish blue shade........... But yesterday.....with an envisioned mind.....the Dahlia captured my senses.........
