For the past 3 years...I have been cheering for Bangalore and Chennai in the Indian Premier League coz these two teams were something that were close to the place that I call home...KOCHI....But with the announcement of the two new teams that was done earlier today.....things have certainly changed....for the better..... Mr. Lalit Modi who was announcing the two new teams...revealed the first team as PUNE...that was bought by SAHARA group...I was quite tainted after that first revelation...coz.... Ahmedabad and Pune were the top two in the bidding pipeline....with huge names from Bollywood backing 'em up...(even the opinion poll on my blog too say the same....)....and once Pune was out of the box...I knew it had to be Ahmedabad.....especially with Narendre Modi backing up....but somehow...deep in my heart....something said.... keep watching....you are gonna shout off the roof of your house...after the second revelation ..... And I did....the moment...Modi uttered RENDEVOUS grou

उफ़!  तेरी अदा (Gosh! your grace!)  Film/Album: Karthik Calling Karthik Singer(s): Shankar Mahadevan & Alyssa Mendonsa Music Director: Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy Lyricist: Javed Akhtar My Rating - 8.3/10 Reflections Hmm...its a groovy track...from Shankar ehsaan loy.....peppy..disco number...with lyrics that seem out of a hymn collection.....hymns dedicated to the GODDESS OF LOVE AND LUST ....Shankar's scintillating voice...along with Alyssa's cameos are indeed a pleasure to listen.....one of those tracks...that gives u a feeling that....it's night time again.... I have translated this track on a special request from Lillian Vivi ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1685830254)...So this one's for you..Lilian....enjoy the music....and DANCE to its feel!

कंगना (BRACELET) My Rating - 9/10 Reflections God! I had such a difficult time translating this one....and finally..I hv done it.....and this one's JUST FOR YOU ADRI.....coz u asked for it.... This is one of my favourite songs....kinda spooky at times.....but that's how Rajasthani music can get at times....it really has that DESERTIFICATION feel to it......This song....is the celebration of a bride's excitement after her marriage.....the song boasts of some typically unused lyrics....and melodies that were last heard in Rudaali.....lol! GREAT SONG.....a good dance number....and KANGANA literally means BRACELET....but....metaphorically it has been used to denote the BRIDE..... LYRICS (TRANSLATION) Kangana re kangana re Kirnon se sab rangana re - 2 Oh Golden bracelet!....color me with the sunrays Jab chaloon to chan chan chanke angana re - 2 When I walk...with my anklets on.....making a jingling sound....let my frontyard shine with its gold Jab choodiyaan khanke ka

After covering almost 1200 miles in train and another 20 odd miles on foot...up and down on a holy hill......and patiently following a swarm of devotees.....I got what I had come for.....for what....millions of faithful come...everyday....A 2 minute सुदर्शन  ( sudarshan - beautiful glimpse) of the Lord of Tirumalai....Shri Venkateswara........Tirupati Balaji.......that was the first time...I had seen his divine figure.....such beauty....such lustre.....a million suns would lose out on him....by a million times.....The deity adorned with Gold...and garlands of the most elegant flowers....and enlightening a few hundred holy lamps.... capturing one's sense of sight..... The scent of incense, flowers and other offerings.....captivating one's sense of smell...... The chants by the Brahmins......and a thousand devotees echoing GOVINDA GOVINDA ....praising the Lord....while the bells toll......imprisoning one's sense of hearing...... The very feeling of being alive makes you

 Am I excited or what? Two new franchises for next year's edition of IPL......wow....and the race is on...running hard are   Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala, Vizag, Rajkot, Cuttack, Baroda, Kochi, Indore and Gwalior.....While Ahmedabad and Pune seem to be front runners...with strong backing up....  Ahmedabad seems to be a sure winner....since it is being sought after by Adani group and strongly backed by NARENDRA MODI...making it a part of some Golden Gujarat campaign....and besides we did see how much of support an event like ICL got in Ahmedabad two years ago....now this is IPL......am looking forward to see Ahmedabad in action..in the next IPL.... Close behind are Videocon....eying Pune.....along with Abhishek Bachchan........... I really wished that Priyadarsan and Mohanlal along with the Muthoot group bought the Kochi franchise...but seems like they have deterred themselves from doing so...due to the new clauses set by the IPL governing council...which says :

मोरे पिया  Jal The Band Boondh - A Drop of Jal My Rating - 9/10 This one's not that famous ....not in India atleast...I mean...when someone mentions JAL.....what strikes our minds first is AADAT......followed by WOH LAMHE and SAJNI. This one goes mute through our ears! So, guyz and galz....if u love Jal's grief-striken songs...then this one's their best.....yes....its indeed their best ever work....according to me......gives this feeling...fresh from a break up.......and u keep remembering her/him.....and try figuring out....MORAY MORAY PIYA...kese kese jiya..... Din wohi raatein wohi pal mey wo na raha The same days....and the same nights...the very same moments...but I'm not the same tanha en shaamo mey koi vi aapna na tha Alone in these twilight hours......there was no one....who belonged to me chanda aur taare vi bole ke yeh kya huwa... The moon and the stars kept asking me...."whats wrong?" haan.. mein wohi tum wohi sama yeh wo na raha.
