Now thats a melodious tune - Maayera!

I found a new song to play in repeat. After raving about the 'Tere bin', it is turn of a telugu song to occupy my time during work, apart from well, work.

Harris Jayraj upstaged his calibre with this one composition, even he has miles to go before he scales levels of Illairaja or Rahman, but man, what a melody this song is.

Mahesh has always been lucky to get great melodies, but it was usually Manisharma who was delivering the goods. So it was interesting wait and watch how the tamil import would score for the Prince. All the songs from the movie are a treat, a worthy 25 minutes of listening pleasure.

Now, coming to the song Maayera, the lyrics and setting of the song reminds us of 'Jaane kyon log', and the tune is more in sync with 'mellaga mellaga vachi' from "Aasa aasa aasa" and 'dilse re' from "Dil se".

Just listening to that song, you can hear honey dripping from SPB's voice. There is no one else, no one else today in India to match this versatile genius.

For a decent review of all the songs, check out this link - 'Sainikudu'

Tere Bin from Bas ek pal

This song "Tere Bin" from "Bas Ek Pal" has been on my mind since last week and it wasn't the case that it took a few times of hearing to sink in. It hit me right away. I like the "bas ek pal" album as much as I liked "Gangster".

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin

lekar yaadein teri, raatein meri kati
lekar yaadein teri, raatein meri kati
mujhse baatein teri, karti hain chandni

tanha hai, tujh bin raatein meri
din mere, din ke jaise nahi

tanha badan, tanha hai ruh
nam meri aankhen rahe
aaja mere ab rubaroo
jeena nahi bin tere

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin
tere bin, main yun kaise jiya
kaise jiya tere bin

kab se aankhen meri, raah main tere bichhi
kab se aankhen meri, raah main tere bichhi
bhule se hi kabhi, tu mil jayen kahin

bhule na, mujhse baatein teri
bheegi hai, har pal aankhen meri

kyun saans loon, kyun main jiyun, jeena bura sa lage
kyun ho gaya tu bewafa, mujhko bata de wajah
tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin

Golimaar, maar maar! Be scared :)

Update: :) I see that there are some hits to my blog, by people who are searching to net for meaning of "Golimaar". It means shoot with bullet, or shoot to kill with a bullet. Simply, Goli=bullet, maar=kill(vb). HTH.

Admittedly, I am NOT embarrassed at this video, because it was such a dear song and one of the first song that got me hooked to Chiru. Alright, I am not the biggest fan of Chiru and I wont recommend all the stupid movies that he is acting lately, but this song has got to take the cake when it comes to defining pop culture in telugu movies. Radha, as usual looked lovely and Chiru simply rocked.

Alright, they copied from Jackson's Thriller (arguably his best too), but this video has our own jackson, who personified hardwork. Even though the movie "Donga", made in 1984, can't come close to "Khaidi" in establishing Chiru's place in telugu film industry, this song would probably rate among his top 10 videos.

This 'scare' song has meaningful lyrics to boot (I prefer lyrics of nandikonda vagullo, though) which makes it all the more richful scary experience. So why wait, go ahead and watch it. Dont forget to thank me :)

Pretty flower!

Once in a while, I try to do google searches and pick the first the link that it results in it - google has this "I am feeling Lucky" feature and I use that if I want text based results. Today I searched for "Pretty flower" and this is the image it resulted in. I dont know why it is first among the results, but it is really pretty nevertheless. Enjoy!

Where as, a "Flower" is the one below :)

Doug?

Deskside support person just came by and asked if I am Doug.

Do I look like Doug?

Jim, may be, but Doug?

The side kick :)

I saw in sappy romantic movies and read in milks and boobs series, but never happened to me in real life. However, lately I realized that I was being used as a side kick to get to the main hero, a cool friend that I made in this new place.

There were atleast couple of girls who are/were being nice to me, just so that have more access to this guy. I never regretted (even though, wouldn't have minded) not being the stud guy around, but I totally resent this side kick role. :) Even more so because its frikken real life.

Now I know how all those ugly female friends of hot girls feel like. It must be very very tiresome.

I'll break this loop and will let you know how I managed to do that! BOOYAHH!

Happy Vijaya Dasami and Gandhi Jayanti

Today is Dussara and also Gandhi Jayanti. I wish all the readers a very happy celebration on account of both these reasons.

Every one from my generation will remember that 'vijaya dasami' day when India defeated Pakistan on a friday, and that day was Dussara. Beating Pakistan was sweet, but beating them on a friday was a feat never done before. Jai Durga ma, was the slogan for a week :)

All of us know what Gandhi gave back to humanity, while we all look back and see his contributions, I want to jot down a list of possibilities if Gandhi was never born!

• 10. I wouldn't have sung the song 'I am bringing sexy back' wearing a short cotton towel, while I was in the bathroom.
• 9. We didnt need to pass the petition to make Indians vote for Gandhi as "Times Man of millenium" to overtake Christ.
• 8. No one would know 'Raghupati Raghava Rajaram."
• 7. No one could have claimed to kill him.
• 6. Khadhi would have been featured by Ralph Lauren.
• 5. Nehru wouldnt have been the first primeminister of India.
• 4. Indira would have just been a Hindu girl who married a Farsi guy - and Rajiv wouldnt even be a rich brat.
• 3. India would still have got its independance in 1947, albeit a little less dramatic.
• 2. Indian politics wouldnt have been kept on ransom by Politicians who wear a Gandhi cap.

and last but not the least -

• 1. Einstein need not have said "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood."
