Vellai Pookkal – The Finale

Posted by: Naren on: November 6, 2008

After a decent fight, this was what Arun and I could come up with for LitSoc Light Music Solo Competitions. Composed and sung by AR Rahman, it is a wonderful piece from the movie Kannathil Muthamittal. Just to be clear,  me choosing the song and the ongoing clashes in Sri Lanka [...]

Bangalore Ahoy!!

Posted by: Naren on: August 18, 2008

Hard this semester’s going to be,
I will be squeezed for time if I know me;
GRE, CAT, Placements and more,
I must definitely go to Bang-a-lore!

Day -18:
If you read that as Day 18, you are as wrong as the next person who reads it as Day 18. It’s minus 18 and if you are wondering why, [...]

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic – A Peek

Posted by: Naren on: June 29, 2008

For eons, man has questioned himself over and over again as to the very existence of The Supreme Power, God to no avail. There have been many theories propounded and fallacies noticed in all Holy Books and there is still a general confusion prevailing in the earnest minds of today’s youngsters. Director Kunal Kohli [...]

Dasavatharam – A Review

Posted by: Naren on: June 16, 2008

After a 2 year long hiatus, numerous changes in the cast and crew members and hyperbole built around it in a tsunamical fashion, the magnum opus of Kamal Hassan is a mite disappointing to the die-hard Kamal fan, an ecstatic moment for cinema and for the good old skeptics, utopians and critics whose ink [...]

Hope for the lovelorn…

Posted by: Naren on: January 31, 2008

 
Romance is not my cup of tea,
flirt with me and so shall you see;
This is how well I can lie,
talk to me and you won’t notice the time fly!

I laid my eyes upon this girl,
coming out of the water like a shimmering pearl;
She watched my mouth open like an [...]

Days of my life…

Posted by: Naren on: January 31, 2008

 
I get up in the morning, bright and gay,
And then realize that it’s not the best of things to say,
I go back to my sleep,
As I have a reputation to keep!
 

So, I get up in the morning, bright and fresh,
and ever so slowly, reach out for my brush;
Anything more said would [...]

Whose Chat Is It Anyway?

Posted by: Naren on: January 29, 2008

Introducing amateur poets, Naren and Manasa, in their poetic best (or worst??)!! Deeply inspired by the famous television series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, I tried to chat using just poetic verses, if you may call them that. Enjoy the show, where every thing’s made up to the point that it is hard to believe [...]

Music to the year!!

Posted by: Naren on: January 2, 2008

01011988 – I don’t remember what I was doing. I don’t like repeating myself, hence boring you, so lets go 10 years forward to….

01011998 – For people who have been to the Ukkunagaram Club on 31st of December (any year would do), stop here. You certainly know what I did that winter. Those who haven’t [...]

Music…

Posted by: Naren on: December 20, 2007

How many of us can relate to the classic melody by Mohd. Rafi, Mere Mehboob Tujhe, from the movie Mere Mehboob? You must be wondering what I am talking about. How about, the one and only, “greatest” of all music composers, Himesh Reshammiya’s Tanhaiya or Jhalak Dikhlaja?? Ah, I see your face glow. But, is [...]
