Google's cool surprise this winter - let it snow

2011-12-17T15:04:00.001-08:00

Just type 'let it snow' in the search box and wait few seconds to see it. For the techie's it's not a big deal to be able to do this, but it's a nice surprise to experience. It also provides an option to defrost- neat. Google continues to surprise us with these nice little Easter eggs, even in the Christmas season. Thanks google, keep going

Who this Kolaveri Di?

I just thought what would be the fate of this soup song if it were born in someone else's head:

If Himesh composed and sang:
The lyrics would be very less, only first few lines repeated 59 times in 4 mins.
There would be 7 versions of the song, remix, reprise (i dont know what this is), female, sad (?), the HR mix, and whatever-sounds-like-a-song version......

Anu Malik: Would make Atif Aslam sing in Sufi style... and copy it for the next album.

RGV: Video would start with shadows, and after 2 minutes the audio would start, shot in the beach and released in 3 languages and called the bhoot song.

Javed Akthar: It would have sounded different....leave it, we would not understand it anyway.

AR Rahman: Hmmm..it would have been rejected by Subhash Ghai, released for some Hollywood Harry Potter movie called the 'magical soup song' and would have won an oscar.

Karan Johar: A duet with Shahrukh Khan and himself and called 'KSouper boys song'

Last but not the least if sung by RAJNIKANTH:
The song would be the national anthem of India and Japan!!!

A part of life

A famous music director - Shantanu Moitra writes about the God of music, who is a part and parcel of a million peoples' life.

Switching on the small tape recorder in my bachelors room with Roja’s Cassette was the first activity of every morning for 2 years.

Day would start with Yeh hasi wadiyaan, the sound still refreshes my mind and heart… as it does the millions of people and ends with Chanda Re Chanda re.

I used to wonder how can a human have such an impact consistently and that is when I realized it was ARR.
