Ghajini Season

Its the end of year time and what better way to celebrate it than to watch the most awaited movie of the year-GHAJINI.
After long discussion and trepidation me and my roomies finally decided to go for the movie on 25Th December.Tickets booked in advance and we were are revved to watch Amir Khan in a so called "once in a lifetime role".
We were a bunch of 7 people,out of which 3 of us have already seen the original movie,nope I am not talking of the brilliant Memento but the original Tamil Ghajini.
I have been a die hard Amir khan fan since childhood,but this is probably his second movie(after mangal pandey) that he disappointed me.
My view was shared with another of my friend who had already watched the Tamil version.
As a Amir fan This was a bitter pill to swallow but I had to accept that Surya(the Tamil hero) outdid Amir in every frame.
The movie was excellent(a frame to frame copy) and the climax which the director changed was even better.
But I came back to our lair with an unexpected heavy heart.

Remembering a lost Genius!!!

Its been a long time since my last post,work and other issues being the reasons.

I think I must continue with what I had written in my last post ,about Pink Floyd.
I had introduced to this mesmerising band thanks to Roger Walters,but as I delved deeper there was another person who intrigued me,Syd Barret,the founder of the band.
Lost genius,that's what he is described as,someone who had ridiculous talents but was undone by 'LSD'.

One should listen to Floyd's first album 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' .
the sound is unimaginable if you think it was created way back in 1967(Phew!)
But unfortunately drug abuse took its toll,he got disoriented as days went by and finally he left the band he had formed by "mutual consent".
But his impact was long lasting,as proven by immortal songs like "Shine on you crazy Diamond" and "Wish you were here".

Truly World music lost a DIAMOND!!!!
