Yuvi Rocks

Yuvraj Singh's 6 sixes in an over against England's Stuart Broad in a 20-20 Super 8's match.
And guess who was in the commentary box excited - yeas hes another 6-6 guy Ravi Shastri..

SRK - packing the punch

As I was youtubing happened to see a Hindi trailor and looking at the lead actor initially thought Hrithik Roshan kinda reduced his musclar frame a bit and then on close look whoa it was the majestic Sharukh Khan . odamba semaya ethirukaaru.. I like SRK for his screen presence,subtle humour and he was always slim and wasnt a great dancer. In here hes different..

Blisssss

Walking in the sidewalk of a road with vacant lands on either side ,with the chilly moisture laden breeze that precede the rain blowing on your face and roaring sky with black clouds,the lightnings and thunders in the background. its bliss..

Its 2020 time

Here we go ,the world cup for the shortest version of cricket( if u dont consider the 10 and 5 over games that we play in our neighbourhood) has started in South Africa in a blazing fashion with the hosts beating the Windies in a high scoring encounter .
To cricket purists this is bullshit and a mockery of the game .But for the cricket boards its more money and spectators it is more fun and excitement at the expense of the pathetic bowlers .Yes bowlers get smashed around mercilessly.
In todays match though Gayle blew the chutney outta Ntini ,Gibbs's pyrotechniques brought the chips down in the windies camp..
not too sure how India will fare in this version of the game ..I have no expectations watsover ..
-------------
In this match , there were a bunch of dancers in the first row of the stands and were dancing to some peppy music whenever there was a boundary hit .End of the match I bet those dancers would have thought that this wasnt a great idea cos there were so many 4s and 6s hit by Gayle and Gibbs and they were literally dancing non stop throughout the course of the match.

oh sachin !!

The master blaster blazed away at the Oval today and powered one more nice win for India.
but along with the win came a shocker which read that sachin is hinting retirement at the end of this year ..
whatever good and bad that is said about him, for most Indian cricket fans Sachin~= cricket.There are a lotta people who watch cricket just for sachin..
To me " enakku nenaivu therijadhu lendhu" I am watching sachin play and every on field success ,gesture,feat of his captivated me and left an indelible mark.
So the very thought that sachin wont be playing cricket i .e he wont do what he was doing best is shocking to say the least .But as all good things do come to a logical conclusion this was to happen ..
tough isnt it ..

Ooh la la !!

This new show is sure be to be the talk of the town or mebbe probably it is ..Happened to watch this program ,part of the Sun TVs talent hunt offerings supported by none other than the legend AR Rahman and was kinda impressed with the performance of the bands .

Remix round la pinranga pa..v3 and oxygen are the bands that i found pretty impressive and V3' s original composition was awesome.based on tamizh raagam Reetigowla i guess.. Ragama naana? i know nothing abt raagams . it sounded like a faster version of "Azhagaana Raakshashi "from Mudhalvan and all i know is that this song is based on Reetigowla .. i am no music expert but have an ear for good music whatever kind that is..Hopefully they make it big..

check this youtube video of the show ...

Oru mugamo

Was listening to the songs from Bheema ...yes Vikrams latest flick.. Harris Jayaraj is the music director..so expect some "inspirational" songs - songs inspired from famous western numbers.;-).
The song Oru mugamo which i suppose is the intro song for Vikram is my favorite and was instantly reminded of "karka karka " from vettaiadu..Hope that it is picturised in a grand fashion..
mudhal mazhai looks to be a chartbuster as any Hariharan melody is ..
Listen to the songs in this relatively new streaming music website .


----
one of my friends told me that Oru mugamo is a rip off from a western song . if u have an idea about it do leave a comment .

Neo - the boss

Sivaji - super star movie trailer must be the most watched trailer nowadays .Having seen that check out this Sivaji trailer too. sooper kewl remix.

sivaji fever ... well not really

I read an article that said Sivaji fever grips US .. Well thats too much of a hype .Yes i do agree that desis in US rather Tamils in US would love to watch this movie .I am not too sure if this statement is apt in the place of Spidermans,shreks and pirates.I do understand that Sivaji's target audience in far too less than the above mentioned movies.
okay reason for the post .Happened to look at the ticket prices for the first day and the first weekend shows in major american cities with considerable Tamil/desi population and they stand somewhere between 16 $ and 26 $ . come on people 25 $ for a first day show for a movie in a cinema theatre with a not so great infrastructure - its not worth it . I did find that there were tickets priced at 16$ which is slightly better but again costlier than a normal ticket for the first day show of a Hollywood biggie.Talks like overseas rights and logistics in screening an Indian movie in the US being on the expensive side dont really convince me.If tickets are overpriced and even though if its a great movie one cannot expect a huge fan turnout.This should apply to any movie anywhere.
Result the movie is soon out on the internet for download not that other movies never make it to the internet .but i feel this could be a important factor propelling piracy.
Anyways i think all these arguments might weigh low in front of " Anything for super star" dialogues.But exploiting the eagerness and anxiety of fans for more money is definitely not good any day.

Obsessed with google

Most of us turn to Google if we need to make a web search for any information that we want .No complains cos Google gives us the best results and we know it.But that doesnt mean searching in Yahoo,live and ask who have improved their search technology too and sometimes u never know that u might find something u lookin for in a search engine other Google.
A firefox user that i am use this extension called customizegoogle
what this extension does is gives u option to search the same search-text on yahoo,Live , ask and other major search engines by clicking a link.
Also check out this greasemonkey script which even does a better job the difference being it works on all search sites whereas the customizegoogle extension only on google search.
