The New Anthem

This is the latest offering of Rahman and BharatBala to the spririt of the nation. This has been released on the 60th Anniversary of Indian Independence. These guys manage to make great music and videos celebrating the unity of India.

Rahman as always rendered another version of our anthem, albeit the score has not changed much, it is the arrangement etc. which has done the magic.

His earlier video, a version of "Vande Mataram" was a runaway success, where the both lyrics and the music score was different from the original one. But that too was superb. It gave patriotism a youthful shade to it and made Vande Mataram hummable by one and all giving it a "cool" feeling.

Hope to get more of such ones from Rahman..

Sky wars

The sky wars are raging... Indian skies have opened up for the various airlines and now there are many airlines offering services both to the premium customers and low cost customers. Now there are so many airlines to choose from to fly. Now that options are high, so is the marketing to woo the public.

This was one of the set of hoardings seen in Mumbai, depicting the sky wars. Superb.. marketing

India's world cup cricket debacle

India exited out of the Cricket World Cup 2007 early.. too early than the whole world expected. Anyway.. I am an ardent cricket fan and a great supporter of the Indian team, so naturally I am too upset about the whole episode. I was so upset the next day after the debacle that I hardly found anything interesting to do. So I don't want to ramble on further about this.

But I found something very funny. This piece is making rounds on the radio stations and I found it hilarious, not sure whether the cricketers will, but what the heck.

Enjoy..
