Get the Message

Well.. One more interesting post for the weekend. I hope you are done with enough comments on my previous post, (10 years of not doing something).

" Get the Message ", the title seems really eye catching. It is !! It was this week's flavor of the program on VH1. The program was VH1- The Big Weekend.

As soon as I saw the program, I thought of bringing in a post here. Why?? Wait, Wait, I will tell you. Before that, let me tell you, there were some awesome, supercool songs playing out there. If you are a western music enthusiast, you have missed a ton.

Plenty of good songs, but the motto was a " A song with a message was being played ". Here were some of the numbers.
1. Phil Collins - Another Day in paradise.
2. Sole Asylum - Runaway Train.
3. Micheal Jackson - Heal the World.
4. U2 & GreenDay - The Saints are coming.
5. Billy Joel - Piano Man
6. John Mayer - Waiting on the world to change.
7. John Mayer - Daughters.

etc etc.....

I have been heavily criticized for being a western music enthu. People generally pitch in saying " Angrez ke Aulaad "... They have forgotten that they studied in English medium school.

I would like to say, why I am a huge western music fan, I think every song has a clear cut message. Each song just peps me up to do better, to get motivated. The band U2, Bono, motivates me the most. There are no second thoughts on that.

Hence I generally prefer to listen to these songs, than those songs which only speak about, love, love breaks, marriage, marriage failure. I don't say I really hate all those . I even like some songs which are inspirational.

But about rest of the songs, which are mostly about LOVE , LOVE , LOVE , I really hate it. Enough guys, get something else, its been decades together of love songs.

When I saw this program on VH1, this weekend, I thought I was right in every aspect. Hence this post is here !!!!!!

By the way, March 30, is the birthday of a Rock n Roll, hall of fame 'r. Guess who ?? Its Mr. Eric Clapton. He was born on this day on March 30, 1945. I have been a huge fan of Mr Eric Clapton. So here's wishing him a very happy birthday!!!!.

By the way , Am I crazy, ?? Its up to you to figure it out...........

10 years of not doing something

This April, will mark 10 years of not doing something!!!! You might be astonished to hear, what ?? you may also call me a loser, blah blah, blah, but to be honest, do I care?? Not even for a single second.

It was in the month of April, the year being 1998, I last went to a theater to watch a movie, can you believe it? Yes you have to believe it.

I somehow have managed it, thats the truth. But to be honest, I have not even an inch interest to beat the Bangalore traffic just to watch a 3 hr movie. People say, watching a movie at the theater, is altogether a different experience and quote you have missed the action.

What I say, is I don't care. I feel more comfortable watching a movie at my house, its what I have been doing all these days. But someday, I will have to go to a theater, though I am not interested, not for me but for someone else. Lets see. Till then, Cheers.

And by the way, you can call me a loser, no probs, since I don't care an inch ........ I am mine!!!

In a league of its own.

This weekend, I got to watch Taare Zameen Par. All I can say after watching the movie was that, " It was in a league of its own ". Chak De India, was also good, but TZP, was just too good. No wonder, it has bagged a handful of FILMFARE awards.

Also this weekend, I have fallen ill. I feel this week, was a memorable one, I had to say goodbye to lots of people and lots of places as well, I traveled a lot, worked a lot. I have some important updates, which I will be posting, hopefully next Saturday.

Till then Cheers.
