Jay Ho...

Getting up at 4.30 am and seeing the most coverted actors/actress walking on the red carpet had finally paid off around 9.30 am when the first oscar went to the Indian technecian to Russel pookutty for sound mixing in slumdog... The underdog movie for any awards function "the slumdog millianore" swept the red carpet with 8 Oscars out of its 10 nominations.. with the oscars the movie so far has won 108 awards all over the world. The real joy and exitement came in when AR Rahman won 2 Oscars for the Original score and original song catogories....
It is the time for joy and pride... the country is celebtaing ARR's and Pookutty's win... May the legacy continue... Hard work, luck and most of all the very important God's garce alome will put any one in such heights... though one will aree the music of slumdog is not that very extraordinary than the other compositions of ARR, it is the award for all that he has done so far and a boost for the one's he is going to do.... the documentry film" smili pinki" taken in India also has won an Oscar.. so America watch out we are coming....!!! Jai HO to all entire slumdog millianore team..

The India's Oscar dream...

A.R. Rehman is phenominal.period. Though ARR is pitted against the world's best music directors,(3 of them were nominated for the Oscars 10 times, 8 times and 4 times respectively and never won it even once) in the nomainations for the best original score, its that billion Indian's prayers that will take him to the red carpet and clinch the oscar statue back to our home land. Apart from original score he is nominated in 2 other catogories...espically there are only 3 nominations for the original song and two of the nominations bear ARR s name against it, so hope against hope we will keep our fingures crossed... though most of them would argue the american's award does not mean any thing to India, all said and done, it is the highest internatinal honour any artist in the filmdom would want to recieve in his/her life time. So 10 nominations and a billion prayers.. lets hope the black oscar flies back toIndia. Other docoumentry film based on "cleft lip" and its correction..the trauma of a small girl pinky who turns into a "smily pinky" is also in the Oscar race for the best documentry, so keep the fingures of the toes too crossed.... One major disappointment was the film "Tare Zamen par"s failure to make it to the nominations for the best foreign film catogory... it was a real film with original script and dont know what made the jury to reject the India's offical oscar entry in the very first round. Hmmm! we were happy atleast India's choice was correct this time unlike the last year's eklavia disaster.
so tomorrow moring just like other die hard fans of ARR I too will be glued to NDTV at 4.30 am to follow the red carpet live.... lets hope at the end of the show we too sing..."Jay ho.."

Disturbing thoughts...

After a very long time, iam in my blog spot... Thanks to my sister priya who constatnly says me to blog.. The recent happenings in srilanka are really disturbing.. when ever a news about confilts, war zones comes,my heart goes out to all those innocent people who die. I see all these as the adament approach of the politicians to just keep up their pride and political gains and loose 1000s of innocent ppl in the cross fire. What is happening in srilanka is a war against the tamils,The fight is between the singalese govt. and innocent tamilians. Thinking broadly, the tamilians are suffering in the hands of others for their rights, be it the neighbouring states karnataka for the cauvery water, kerela for the mullai periyar dam issue, Andra for the krishna water, In malaysia the tamils are loosing all freedom and are dominated by the malaias and chinese people. In srilanka the issue is very serious, the tamils are wanting a decent life to live, salary to raise their family and peaceful sleep under a roof. when the basic human rights is denied then the people stand up against the attrocities, that is what is happeining is srilanka, the tamilians are running since 1960's running for their lives, running for their rights, running to safe guard their community... every singalese govt. that comes to power denies the one single previlage to these people: right to Live. what happens when you see a army man rape your daughter and wife in front of your eyes ? such maximum attrocities are happening in srilanka.. even verse, these people are killed...left to die on the streets... the srilankan army pours the phosphorous and kills people, bombards the hospitals and the civilian places in search of LTTE's.. one thing the world does not understand is... how a mere 5000 LTTE people hold 2 lakh tamil people as hostages ? the truth is that the tamil people's only hope is the LTTE now. They are tired of running, they are tired of snake bites in the forests, they are tired of loosing their kith and kins in bomb shells, theya re tired of shifting homes on their backs, they are tired of betrayals, false promises and now they are tired of even living ! one cant be pushed to the corner of the wall and asked to live happily... the outrage of their lost relatives and loved ones burns in every tamilian's heart in srilanka, the tamilians in tamilnadu also suffer along with them.. they are angry and they are directionless.... they know the ruling govt in the state had played double game, they will never help the tamils in lanka. If atall they had cared ..they would have withdrew the support to the centre, led a team to srilanka and catch the collar of Rajapakshe and ask him to stop the attrocities by the lankan army towards killing of the innocent people. But they are all power mongers, they need to rule the tamilnadu dynasity as they are the crowned kings... after the king his son would take up, the daughter will stand aside and be a bridge to new delhi and will help grow their family fortunes and open up a new tv channel month after month.....cease fire in srilanka has become a dream and nothing is going to stop the tamil population being completely wiped out from the face of srilanka.....atleast GOD please save my tamil people all over the world.
