I am back again

I quit writing posts in this blog couple of months back and Its been a while since i have blogged. Few days back i popped into my blog and i noticed that my blog had many visitors and i received comments in my cbox saying that they are missing me lots. I started thinking of the good times that i had when i used to blog. So today i decided to get back to blogging. I have changed the look of my blog and deleted many of the stupid and nonsense post i had written in my blog. From now i will be writing sensible stuff and i am sure all of you will like it. This is a new start i hope you all will support me in this.

Be foccused

Focus this is just a five letter word which has a lot of meaning in it. Every humane being has many ambitions in life he sets numerous goals for him self and nobody knows whether he achieves them or not but if he does one can be sure that the a person was focused on what he was doing and was clear about what he wanted. It is very essential that all of us should be focused on what we are doing to ensure that we succeed in whatever we do.

The reason why i am em phasing on the need to focus is tat if one deviates his attention from what he must actually do then it will become very tough for that person to complete what he was doing and to succeed in life. We must never allow such situations to arise and must always be focused on every thing we do in life.

Rahman 2

In 1991, Rahman began his own music recording and mixing studio, attached to backyard of his house, called the Panchathan Record Inn. He initially composed music jingles for advertisements, Indian Television channels and music scores in documentaries, among other projects. In 1992, he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for Ratnam's Tamil film Roja. The debut led Rahman to receive the Rajat Kamal award for Best Music Director at the National Film Awards, the first time ever by a first-time film composer. Rahman has since then gone on to win the award three more times for his scores for Minsaara Kanavu in 1997, Lagaan in 2002, Kannathil Muthamittal in 2003, the most ever by any composer.

Roja's score met with high sales and acclaim, in its original and dubbed versions, bringing about an effective transformation in film music at the time, and Rahman followed this with scores for films including, among others, Bombay, Kadhalan, Indira, Minsaara Kanavu, Muthu and Love Birds, which gained him notice. His soundtracks gained him recognition in the Tamil film industry and across the country for his versatality in classical, folk, jazz, reggae, soft rock and other styles in his pieces. Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, marked Rahman's debut in Hindi films. Many popular and superhit scores for films including Dil Se and Taal followed. The sales of these albums prompted several film producers to take film music more seriously.
Rahman's work is also unique in the fact that his collaborations with some film directors have always resulted in successful soundtracks. In particular, he has worked with Mani Ratnam on ten films until 2006, all of which have been musical hits. Also notable is his collaboration with the director S. Shankar in the films Gentleman, Kadhalan, Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys and Sivaji.

His Second movie album Roja was listed in TIME's "Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time" in 2005. Rahman continued to record frequently in his studio, the Panchathan Record Inn. In 2005, a newly developed recording studio, attatched to the Inn called A.M. Studios was opened. It is considered to be the most developed, equipped and high tech studio of Asia. In 2006, Rahman launched his own music label, KM Musiq. It's first release was his soundtrack to the film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal which it released worldwide, in August 2006. His latest work includes Rang De Basanti, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Guru, Varalaru - The History of the Godfather, Sivaji: The Boss, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, and Jodhaa Akbar . Rahman has scored the movie Provoked, co-scored Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and is working on Chamki Chameli to be released in 2008 and Hindi version of Tamil blockbuster Ghajini. He is a recipient of the Padma Shri.

Loneliness

At times i wonder if i was meant to be alone all through. Not the way losers think..just something that troubles my mind whenever i get into one of my introspective moods. People are mixed creatures... they want people to share their joys and sorrows and also need their own space in life. I have met a lot of them in my journey of life and can say there is one common thread between all the people in this world... Loneliness!

That is one emotion which every one goes through at some point in our life. For some its an occasional feeling and for some its a daily existence. I belong to the category in the middle. I feel detached from the people around me at times and can be in my elements and have the time of my life when i feel like it.

Today is one of those days when am feeling contended being on my own. Just some time to ponder what i have been upto and trying to connect with my Inner self.. the person that i really am. And its very comforting to know that though many things have changed and as time moves on... there is that something which can give you the comfort feeling of being something from the past...that something which has been the same all through... Ur Inner self!!!!

Rahman 1

A. R. Rahman was born on January 6, 1966 as A. S. Dileep Kumar in Chennai. Tamilian by birth is an award-winning composer, record producer and musician. He is a musical legend who revolutionized the music standards in India. He was the only musician from India to take Indian music to the world standards and was successful in composing music at the age of 12. Today music buffs in India and not only in India, but also all parts of the world recognizes his music and his music have satisfied all types of music lovers. This magnificent man is one who redefined contemporary Indian music and is the pride of the entire nation and an idol for millions all over the world needs no preamble.

A. R. Rahman was born to R. K. Shekhar, a composer, arranger and conductor for Malayalam-language films. His father died when Rahman was nine years old, and his family rented out musical equipment as a source of income.

During these early years, Rahman served as a keyboard player and an arranger in bands such as "Roots" and "Nemesis Avenue" with friends including Sivamani, embracing numerous music genres. He played the keyboard and piano, in addition to, among others, the synthesizer, the harmonium and the guitar. His curiosity in the synthesizer in particular increased because, he says, it was the “ideal combination of music and technology.” He began early training in music under Master Dhanraj. At the age of 11, he joined, as a keyboardist in the troupe of Ilaiyaraaja, a great composer of all time and one of many composers to whom musical instruments belonging to Rahman's father were rented to. Rahman later played in the orchestra of M. S. Viswanathan and Ramesh Naidu, accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship to Trinity College of Music, where he graduated with a degree in Western classical music.

A lesson that i ve learned

One thing what i have learned is that, your parents look after you since you are born and till the time you start working and your able to stand on your own legs and look after yourself. But after you start earning and do something for them with the money you have earned, it will never be equal to anything they have done for you.

It is the duty of the parents to take care of you till you grow up at the same time it the duty of the children to take care of the parents when they grow old. Just remember one thing "what you do is what you get" "Your children will treat you the way how you have treated your parents" so please set an example for your children.

Save the tiger

I found this heartening truth and i wanted to share it with all of you so that we realize what is happening around us.

A few years down the lane after the independence it was note that the number of tigers in our country was dwindling, in order to control it project tiger was started in 1973 to save the dwindling populations of tigers. All these years many tiger census where released but none spoke of the truth.

This in spite of the fact that the number of tiger reserves has tripled since Project Tiger began. The 2006 tiger Census reveals that:

  • In 1972, a year before Project Tiger began there were 1,827 tigers in India.
  • In 1997 the Tiger Census showed that there were 3,507 tigers.
  • And in 2006 the official estimate of the number of tigers is 1,411 only.

A look at some broad trends

Tiger Sanctuaries like Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal and Bandipur, and Nagarhole in Karnataka are safe havens with the number of tigers in these areas remaining more or less the same.

Central and Western India was supposed to be a safe haven for tigers, but the latest Tiger Census shows that the number of Tigers in Madhya Pradesh have almost halved in the last five-six years.

Sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh like Panna and Kanha and even Melghat in Maharashtra have witnessed a drastic reduction in the number of tigers.

Present situation

  • Today there are 28 tiger reserves in the country spread across 17 states.
  • Central India once best habitat for tigers has noted sharp decline as per latest reports.
  • New methodology for counting tigers was introduced in 2006 using camera traps.
  • As per last census in 2002 tigers were estimated to be 3500.
  • After poaching outbreak in Sariska all tigers were wiped out here.

What the states say?

Madhya Pradesh

2002 – 710

2006 – 300

Orissa

2002 – 173

2006 - 45

Maharashtra

2002 – 238

2006 - 103

Andhra Pradesh

2002 - 192

2006 – 95

Chattisgarh

2002 – 227

2006 – 26


Its high time we realize what is happening and come forward to protect our National animal. Its just like the proverb "Its better late than never". So at least now we should start doing things which must have been done years ago. I pray that these magnificent creatures live a longer life and don't go down with the animals that have extinct.

Brisinger - third book of inheritence


The next Christopher Paolini book has been announced! The third book in the Inheritance series is titled Brisinger. The book is slated to release on September 20th 2008. The first book Eragon has already been made into a movie actually speaking the book is far far better and interesting than the movie. The second book Eldest is a marvelous one with many twist and turns and it has two stories running parallel. I badly hope the third one is a good one too.

Our trip to tada falls



HI friends i had been to Tada falls which about 100 kms from where i stay. I had gone with my friends in my friends HONDA CRV. We started at about 5:30am on a Sunday. We had been planning this trip for a long time so all of us were eager to enjoy our trip. We went pretty slowly in the highway and we reached the place after about an hour and a half. we had taken food along with us along with the necessary articles to make a small fire where we can re heat the food and have them. After reaching the hill we had to walk up for 3-4 kms to reach the falls. Water was really clean and good and very much inviting. We didnt wast much time :-) after finding a good place to keep our bags all of us dashed to the water and had a amazing time. After playing in the water for couple of hours all of us were tired. Some of us gathered wood to make a small fire so that we could heat our food. After gulping our lunch we sat down rested for a few minutes before we started on our journey back. We started on our journey back home at about 2pm. We were back in our friends place by evening where we rested again and had a few laughs about our trip after which every one started back to our home. This trip will remain close to my heart for ever. I thank all my friends for making this trip a memorable one for me.

Disappointed

I was badly looking forward for the India Vs Srilanka cricket match. I wanted to see the maestro in action. More over i was dreaming about the duel between Sachin and Murali two legends of the game but i guess nothing of that sort happened on that day. Rain played its part that day too and the second match was abandoned too. I must admit that i was happy that the first match got abandoned because India had very less chance of defending such a low score. I hope that we ll be able full game of cricket in the next match that is on Friday. I wish our Indian team all the best for their future matches. Pls win the cup guys i badly want u to thrash the Aussies and the Lankans
