Dogs gave Oscar to DOG

I am not an expert in movies or music but I strongly believe these are not for experts but for audience like me. I have watched a lot of movies and listened to a lot of songs. Practically I am a movie freak and I live with music and listen to songs for at least 12hrs a day.

I have watched this movie with lots of anticipation. I haven’t heard of the story as always. I feel that I ll not enjoy the movie if I hear the story before watching it myself. From the title I expected the movie would be something like ‘GURU’ story of someone who knew what hunger is and what money is and who fights his way to riches.

I didn’t say that only this sort of a story is a good one. The point simply put is our Chennai Visual communication students have made better short films than this movie. True and people in the industry would for sure agree. This movie would have made an above average TV series in an Indian channel and definitely nothing more.

I do agree Rahman is a legend. More than 30% of my playlist is occupied by his works but this one. People please do tell me do you heartily agree that the ‘Jai Ho’ song is one of Rahman’s best. This is something mocking to this music maven. I guess even Rahman himself agrees to it. He has said that he had only 2% faith that he ll get this accolade.

The worst part is Indians celebrating such a mock aimed directly at their face. This magnifies the impression the global community has on us as FOOLs.

Not only the Indian people even the global community will agree there are unmatchable movies in Indian cinema history which inspite of their poor finance have touched millions of people. This prejudice and discrimination will one day destroy Oscar.

Savaged in Savagegarden

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply, do..

Hmmm..soooo pleasing to hear. I truly madly deeply love this album. I have this collection of songs "I want u","to the moon n back","Break me shake me","Tears of pearls" for a long time but I never cared to listen to them once.

Then one day was so bored of the other songs and felt like there must be something to compete with the then monopoly Enrique. So I thought of giving this a chance, 'oh my..' since then I m completely 'adddicted' I finally got something to replace 'Enrique' addiction.

It may be not be the case that u really want to say,
"I ll fly to the moon n back
If u ll be, ll be my baby'
but it feels great to recite these lines,isn't it?

Then comes this 'Tears of pearls' I simply couldn't control the temptation to dance (lol). Beautifully composed and perfectly enjoyable.

At first when I found most of Savagegarden's lyrics are copyrighted I was ridiculling what's so spl? but now I feel they are outcomes of some serious effort. The magic they have on me is very quaint.
