Many happy returns of the day baby!
you have been my best ever i can get.
you have been part of best and the not so good times
you have allowed me to go out with other girls and you havent hated me for that nor felt jealous abt that.
you have given me a sound sleep when i lay my head in ur lap
you help me to ease my pain and share my joy
and even mom loves u and you are the only she is very comfortable with compared to others
rest of the clad envy you
you have taken me to places i have never been before
you are my first and last. and would remain so forever.
you are my.... trinity
if u r still guessing whom i talking abt, its my car. she completed her first bday on nov 25 :)

departed souls...
movie for the month to watch WITHOUT FAIL:
The Departed
either you will completely bow down to Scorsese and admit he is the god in serious drama making or you will fall in love with dicaprio and nicholson. either of which, is worth it.
go out. get your tickets

one more....
ystrday one more FM station was added to the list. Sadly, its too loud and they are trying the used and overused tricks, plays, games and moreover irritating and rather displeasing presentation.
This is the tenth FM station in short span of 6 months. Few more to go. And save yourself. Coz, just like television, we are bound to keep our hands on remote, similarly, we can see one hand trying to steer and the other trying to steer thru the frequencies to be heard of good music to sail thru the traffic blues.
sad but true. its gonna get more worse.
be prepared to be thrown at more frequencies.
btw, there might be a day where we get to hear kannada, english, tamil, telugu and malayalam tunes in one or rather could be dedicated for each language, to represent bangalore. which is a mini-India.

reviving radio
I never would hav thought our city would have most number of fm stations compared to any other city in the country. Its a very good sign of how bangalore is growing and how much impact it has made. I still remember the first radio station bac in childhood called Vividabharathi and which was quite fun to listen to it on mornings. But as we grew and so did technology and peoples mindset, the idiot box completely took over the radio life and radio was left for a mere existence to just to prove that a so called medium is available.
But thanks to the private stations, especially Radio City which bought bac life to it and there on it's history. But today the scenario is quite or rather completely different. Its good to have so many stations, but everything in life has a flipside too. And this one is not spared either, I have learnt that there would be total of 15 fm stations in less than 2 monts from now, but why so many stations? I fear that it might end up being an medium like television of today, where you just keep shifting channels and at the end you are completely dissatisfied with what you have been given at. Even right now, I have started doin that with the radio. I just keep changing stations as long as i get to hear some good music. Thats all matters to me.
And one thing, I am sure anybody would hate is the ads. More than the music and RJ's irrelevant discussions, we dont need ads. But cant help the same as its the only revenue model for these guys. But it could be limited tho. I have started hating Radio City only coz of its ads. On an average show of an hour, you would get here max of 7 songs and the rest would be ads and RJ's blabber. We dont need that. We need music. I need music to beat the traffic blues while driving. I am tired of these ads which keep shouting at your face. But offlate, Radio Indigo and Big Bangalore are quite good, would say they are really good. At Indigo, I get to hear some great international tracks and at Big Bangalore, its all about kannada and the local flavour. I like the fact, where this is the only station which plays some real good old kannada songs and their presentaion is quite neat. Thats what I would like to hear about. All said and done. Radio Rocks.
Anyways, I am keeping a close watch on these stations on how they grow and what stage it would reach. I am curios.

chill out what you are yelling for...
its been such a long time out here.. gotta admit that been quite busy all this while... moving out from being an guy doin little bit of moonlighting to a full time profile, which to be very honest, has taken up most of my time. Cant believe myself. its been kinda roller coaster ride tho, loads of work, running around, new stufss all around.. its been good.
last week had been to munnar and need to say this here.. its one place I would like to go again and again.. next place after goa. Its just breathtaking. If you havent been there yet, I would suggest you to pack your bags and make a move right now, trust me you would fall in love at first sight. wish i could settle there in midst of those huge mountains... sigh
will be here very often now on.. see you guys around more.

he came. he saw. he conquered
April 12, 2006. the day we bangaloreans can never forget. I as a kannadiga cant even think of.
It was the saddest day in the history of karantaka, leave alone bangalore, coz one of the most talented actor, down to earth, simple, loving and a great human, Dr.Rajkumar, passed away. No matter how much I write here, or how much I describe this great human will be very less. This article is not abt what he was or what he did to be the man what he was, to reach such a great heights, where litereally thousands and thousands of people get on to the roads to just get a last glimpse of him.
I always used to wonder how many people would cry when I die. How many people would shed tears. I would say, very few. When I mean few, it would include my family, my close friends and some relatives who would just drop in for the heck of it. But what it takes to make an entire nation/state, millions of people to shed tears, rush towards your home to get a last glimpse. I am stil unable to figure that out, it cannot be just hard work, coz in this era, every other human is sloggin their ass off to sustain their livelihood. Then apart from hard work, what it would be? Money, Influence or Luck? I dont know wether it could be all. But in his case, it was just hard work and love of his people.
Its really sad to loose such a person. I grew up watching his movies, idolised him, used to worship him during my school days and wait for every sunday evening on DD channel for his movie. And imitating his stylised accent in front of girls to impress them.
This day, more than his demise, I am sad the way his so called fans paid their homage to him, thru the paths of riots and voilence and forcing everyone to close thier shops and destroying public and government properties and not even allowing the final rituals to be completed.
truly sad.

voila
finally, stepped out.
you may ask from what.
Lemme make your cloud of doubts fade away by saying 'everything'.
Is that clear. not much. isnt it.
stepped out to be a fulltime freelancer. decided to go solo 2 months bac. its been a hard way since. but a sense of satisfaction covers it up. nothin could make you happy when you get a chance to put your soul into the work you are passionate about. Dont know where do I go frm here. Need to make few key choices. Need to weigh the pros and cons. Need to reach the dream.
I will.
stepped out of laziness. being a solo in my field, has made me to push myself harder everyday. no more 'lets do it later' attitudes. right here right now. it works.
stepped out of fear. fear of everything to anything.
end of story.

phew!!
the one and only thing what everyone would hate to do is to CHOOSE. In life, you need it or not, you deserve it or not, you have a choice. life is full of choices and not of chances we take.
choices shape us. but to choose a choice, god dammit.. i hate it.
dont know what to do. too many choices. what and what not to.
difficult path lies ahead.
faith keeps me going.
power of god within me. his grace, a bit of hard work, a bit of luck. keeps our life rolling.

Daniel Powter : Bad Day
hav been tripping on this song for the past few days.. its just simply mindblowing.. it just completly takes me to some other world when I am listening to this:
you can download this beauty here :
http://www.multimedia-search.com/download_mp3/Daniel_Powter_Bad_Day/767253
Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
kudos to Daniel Powter!!!

choices of a choice
well.. a year is gone. its quite hard for me to digest the fact that I am done with 2k5. Few days bac was in the self analysis mode.. trying to figure out what were the things I did... what mattered most..good.. best.. sique.. pathetic.. and the list was quite impressing tho. feels good and at the same time.. feel like i am sucked up.
i guess thats what life is all about. just keep on heading.. things r bound to happen.. ppl r bound to hurt you.. make u feel low..but there r things which can u lift ur spirits up.. ppl who make u feel how much you mean to them.. when i look bac at myself.. all those years..i just wonder.. what have achieved.. whats it that would make me happy.. i have done anything worth.. i have made any good..overll.. i have been a good human whom i wanted to be..but when the answers pop up.. its way too tough to take a cal on the questions and froze on one decent answer.. its all mixed up in here... the only thing which I felt we do is.. we just carry on..we just keep doin what we have to do..we know we have done mistakes.. we know we have been good.. we console ourselves saying.. we r good.. hell with the rest of the world. and we move on... and thts the beauty of life. the only thing which matters is how strong are our principles and our values. how much we respect this god gifted life, which is a bundle of everything, which we may like or not..we are carrying it. if not. we have no choice either.
end of the day.. its all about choices. we make out of ourselves the human what we want to be by the kind of choices we choose. Only the time can reveal how much good we were in choosing those choices. Had heard this somewhere.. choices choose us. we dont choose them. dont know how far its true.
but had one of the most memorable year of my entire life. thank you 2005!!!
