Do you agree?

You know we have heard this over and over again, "Before you can love someone else, you have to love yourself, first." This saying has almost become a cliche. Yet, on some level, some feel uncomfortable with this. I wonder why ? Is it right to please and care for others first, often putting ourselves last. I think learning/gaining to love yourself may be the greatest love you can ever experience and achieve. Think about it my friend ;)

Y Tu Mama Tambien

| Tuesday, August 30, 2005

“coming of age” as many say it, is what the movie Y Tu Mama Tambien about. The movie to me is shockingly and uncompromisingly true to life in almost every way; the dialogue, the visual style, the details about Mexico ( though I have never been there, one could tell ), and the sex scenes. I will say that the sex is abundant in this film as well as the discussion of it, mostly because of the fact that the two boys have been raised in a sex-obsessed culture and eagerly take part in that culture. However, in defense of the sex scenes, they are treated with complete honesty, unlike Hollywood sex scenes, and are not glamorized or eroticized whatsoever... don’t be fooled into thinking this film is in any way pornographic. It is quite a good movie to see. Has a few surprises too so watch out!

Moongil Nila

From the very first track Pul Nuniyil by Hariharan on this album-Moongil Nila, one will discover that this music can penetrate ones heart of hearts to deeply stir and bring to the surface.. complex combinations of emotion. This is not one of the regular/typical party album.. as a matter of fact the very soundscapes on this album are a little off-putting ( considering party ). This is the type of album that could clear a party. But if it did clear a party, at least the people left would be interesting... I am very much thrilled to hear this album composed by my good old friend N. Niru known to me as S. N. I remember the first time meeting him in the basement of a temple in Paris which he was renting to create his ambition. .. great times :) Now to see him in India, recording music is awesome.. way to go bro! Wish ya all the best!

Some of my fav clips here;




Listen to the full album Here:

I have heard my parents say, it is a special musical gift to bring up true emotions and yet another gift to move the listener through those feelings. That seems to be true in this case yet again!

HellBoY

Hellboy as the name suggest it is 'hell" of a movie, expectations" may be the key here. Simply because it does not have a typical comic-book hero cinematic treatment. I enjoyed the subtle humor most of which was scripted to Hellboy -- like taking counsel on his love relationship with Liz Sherman( Selma Blair she looks old by the way..) from a young boy over cookies and milk. It is quite different, watch it for yourself!

My religious Guru/Teacher once said; "submit to Lord and prosperity will come closer to you". The key here is "closer". Nothing comes to you .. you have to go/want/strive. Keeping in mind "Anything that is happening is for the better" you have to know; you are the creator of your own dramas, god allows/helps you to have more control/strength to reach the infinite.

In my opinion..

| Thursday, August 18, 2005

Swaminathan Sivaramakrishnan from the A R Rahman Fan Group says:

"If Mangal Pandey flops, it would be Rahman's 9th consecutive flop in Hindi...
Coming in the line of Bose, Kisna, Swades, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, Yuva, Meenaxi,
Lakeer and Tehzeeb. In the same time Baba, Udhaya, Parasuram, Kangalal Kaidhu
Sei, E20U18 and Aayitha Ezhuthu have flopped in Tamil. Only Boys, in between,
was a mild success and New, a moderate success.

Mere coincidence or.... ?"

If you ask me I would say; a large part of Arr's "decline" can be attributed to him not having the same enthusiasm over his recent Indian projects as he is into making it big outside! A part of it, though, is that he seems to be using the same things over and over again, some call it as the A R Rahman touch; conventions like that are cool when they're original, but when you reuse them over and over again, they stop being original, even if you're the only one using them.. And as far as the Tamil film word is concerned he is not producing the "Nan Tamilan" feel with his music ( not talking about lyrics) It does not have the necessary Tamil/ South Indian flavor. Basically I think Arr has talent but he needs to be given more time/control and he needs to replace some of his old conventions with new, creative ones. To add more, I think Arr has to just keep coming back to his ears, his heart and his desire. In other words like my earlier post he, ARR has to compose himself.

Compose yourself!

To put it simply, do not do anything that you have no interest/affection in. No one is/can asking/forcing you to keep doing the things you hate Why go home and beat yourself up for not going over and saying a few words to someone you find really attractive? Can any damage they could do to you by rejecting you possibly be any worse than the damage you're going to do to yourself for missing the chance?
Just keep in mind;
You're a carefully-rehearsed list of weaknesses and strengths you've told yourself you have.

The Comedy Central Roast: Pamela Anderson: Last Sat or Sunday.. can't remember but I watched my first celebrity 'Roast' in The Comedy Central; People sit around and say terribly hurtful things to a person ( worst a celeb ), in the guise of 'good-natured' ribbing. Personally I would start swinging punches at the first off color remark. I'm not sure how a person sits through these things without severe personal damage.

Help yourself first.. then come/assist others; moto of the mankind of today. Isn't that announcement made on every airplane ride you've ever been on? Help yourself and then assist others.
I believe that's where we many times wore ourselves out and discouraged our ownselves mentally and emotionally, because we overextended, trying to help other people when we ourselves are needy.
I say spare me that ‘it happens for a reason’
Shit. No ‘God’ pre-packages my life
like mom did for school lunch..

Looking gleefully at the sky all I see are stars,
Some are near but others are so far,
The sky is black the sun is gone,
It'll be some time before the dawn,
And sometimes it seems there is no end to the night,
It just makes me appreciate the wonder of the light.

Awfully weird day!

| Wednesday, August 10, 2005

I had a car accident this morning (not my fault) and am still dealing with Laurel Police to get my VW, GTI. Obviously my little red babe got towed! I need to call the Insurers too. I just had some service work done last week. VW always does a phone follow-up to see how satisfied their customers are with the service. So my phone rings and this guy tells me he's from VW and wants to follow-up with me. I'm not surprised since this has happened several times before. However, with the accident this morning and now towed car I could not help but get frustrated so, I waited for him to say it again. I maintained my composure and refrained from bursting...until he asked: "How can we make your VW experience more enjoyable?" Well since you asked..

Awfully weird day!

My emotions-
Joy, Sadness, Grief, Fear, Anger
were blocked
Memories didn’t stop
They were back to remind
Of what I saw

She can’t remember what happened
How it occurred
“Why me?” she asks herself
“Is this what I deserved?”

She almost ran away
To hide
To breathe

She wasn’t angry at
Anyone but
Herself
Blames herself
For it burns now!

For you :)

Driveeeeee

We drove and drove and drove as far as we could, 24 hours ! But it was a very successful road trip. It took us 24 hours to get to Key West, FL thanks to traffic; 6 to 7 stops including breakfast, lunch dinner and peeeee.. ohh and the rain(heavy). Between the climate, the sunsets, the gals, the food, the nightlife, the pool, jet skiing, parasailing, the beautiful scenery and the relaxation, we all dreaded the migration back to our respective winter homes too sooooooooooooooon.

What’s the best to see/view,
Black or white in moi?
I’ll still express how I feel
I won’t let it stamp out my zeal
I will rise above the pain
and fight off the rain
I will take time to learn
This goal for which I yearn
to dislodge the dark
with a powerful spark
