Look who's rockin' !

Bryan Adams coming to India! For the third time! The concert is on Feb 4 and 5.
Here is how the ad goes...
First time he came...You had girlfriend but no money (I had no money and no girlfriend)
Second time he came...You had money but no girlfriend (Same as before...)
and Now...You *to be filled* (why do I bother?)
India sure is a hot destination for concerts nowadays. But the trouble is its too damn expensive! The couple of junys from our college had attended the last concert and they are loaded with cash.
One day I would like to listen to his concert with my beloved (Come on dear! Bryan Adams is no hard rock he is very soft!) Hmmm, may be Coldplay as well.
I want to go by myself to a Metallica concert or an Iron Maiden one! (No baby! Its too metal and women get abused in heavy metal concerts!)
May be I should stop...


Others who had visited India recently are Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour( Pink Floyd), Scorpions, The Rasmus etc.

The place I want to be this February 4 th? In IIM Bangalore. Not for enrolling there! (Though it would be nice!) The Jethro Tull concert for their annual festival.
Jethro Tull is a brilliant progressive rock group with an unique sound like none other. The band contains a hauntingly beautiful lead flute (Yes! Flute) and an acoustic guitar by the vocalist Ian Anderson along with usual stuff (Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, drums, keyboard, bass guitar etc) .
The vocals are really great as well.
I have seen a couple of their live shows on TV and it was great.
By the way the band has been around for the last 40 years! If you have'nt listened to them please do. A fine starting point would be "Waking Edge" from their Grammy winning album "Crest of a Knave" in 1987. The song is not too highly rated, but I love it as it haunts me. Recommended albums are Aqualung, Minstrel in the Gallery and the Christmas Album (the latest). I have listened to these three only and In the process of downloading two more.

I know that I have been writing too much about music lately. But would you guys prefer me ranting ? I will be ranting soon I guess as regular classes for the last semester :-( has started and our new teacher (the lady) is totally ##^^@&@!

Later Days...

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
