Slumdog Millionaire Jai Ho!!

What's this controversy over slum''DOG''?? Why are we Indians incapable of accepting everything with a pinch of salt? Whats wrong in being a bit cynical about ourselves once in a while?
To my mind, SM is a FANTASTIC flick.. was bowled over by it. its one of those rare films which touches a deep chord in your heart. Its so positive, so full of life... and the music.... its the soul of this movie... Mr A R Rahman; the maestro...creating magic, doing wonders.. all over again! Its his ''Jai ho'' which compelled me to scribble something on this blog (after a long hiatus!) We (Rwik n I) are veteran, orthodox FANS of Mr RD Burman.. I should say, blind followers of his magical creation.. and I can say without a doubt that if there's a single soul in our country who can get somewhere close to his magic, its Rahman.. I hope the guy makes it to the Oscars, he deserves it!
I wish I could get hold of an original audio CD of this album, coz this kind of music just dozn deserve piracy... BUT this is France, that too Grenoble... chances are close to nil... will probably get it from US this summer! Till then.. here's JAI HO to lift up your spirits and to make you look for those dancing shoes ;)

HATS OFF to RAHMAN, GULZAR, SUKHWINDER, Mr BOYLE and to ALL those people responsible for this film!

Facebook &.......

Well, Nivs opened me a facebook account today. It started like this: Av (Avinash, in case you thought it is an electronics spare), an old college buddy of mine asked me if I was in facebook, as it was supposedly more interesting than orkut. I was too lazy, so she did it for me, and I admit I am having fun playing with the site. But then, I guess she is a bit apprehensive about all the girls in facebook (as if they give a fig about me);) and I dont know whether to be bothered or flattered about the fact that my darling wife still feels possessive about me to quite an extent after, what, seven years of having an affair? (Indeed, if you are ready to count the years we have been married as well)... I guess I am a bit of both :)

As you can see from the pic, am sleepy, so good nite!
