<i>Hmm, let’s see. What do I say about myself? If you ask me a question, I WILL give you my honest opinion. I don’t have a ’plan for life’ as some people grandly like to put it. I take each day as it comes and try to fly with it. I like getting high on life and most of the time try not to take myself too seriously. If there is a question that I like to ask it has to be ’Why?’. Does that make me philosophically inclined? Maybe. </i> <b>My pet peeves are: </b>Telemarketers, hypocrisy & double standards, I-Pod’ers (this species exists!), arrogance and people who think beauty and brains can’t co-exist. <b> Want to know still more about me, huh? Here goes:</b> What's my favorite drink? Bottled water. Who's my Role model? Have different role models in different aspects. Absolute heaven on earth? Home. And everybody has one! I don’t believe - In love at first sight. I believe - That friendship is an essential ingredient of love (No, I’m NOT quoting Karan Johar!). I believe - That Starbucks is overrated. I believe - That while ignorance may be bliss, knowledge is power! I believe - That God knows how to dance! Lastly, I believe - In ANYTHING as long as it is incredible! ;-) . Painting and poetry are two of my main interests. Didn't Leonardo da Vinci say that <i>“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen?” </i> I also enjoy listening to a wide variety of music, watching movies. My dream is to tour the entire world.

Hi Smitha, Good review as usual. I haven't read this book per se, but would like to say that most child prodigies unfortunately get pushed towards success, either by parents or by mentors/trainers. It is sad but can't be helped I guess. Another interesting thing about gifted kids is that most of t Read More...

Ava ji! I live in the US and there is only one Indian movie theater where I stay. These theaters play star-studded, well promoted films on the screens most of the time. That is to say that chotte banner waale films dikhaate nahin hain. :( So will have to wait for the DVD. Uma

Hi Smitha, Good review again! I've never read anything by Chitra Banerjee, but your revu makes me want to read this one. I'm a sucker for short story collections and this one seems to be a good one with a nice positive message. Life is nothing but a series of errors?? Hmm...Debatable. LOL. Uma
Hi Ava, Good review as always. Haven't watched this one yet. Will get it once its out on DVD.\ :) Uma

Hi Ratna!!!!!!!!! Late but made it huh? Thanks for the comment. I agree that it will have to be a neverending list if one sat down to make a list of best songs with all the three singers i.e. Rafi, Kishore or Mukesh. I like the songs you have picked out too. There is another one of his (I'm not Read More...
Hi Shanti!!!!!!!!!! Here you are!! Thanks a lot for the RRC. I agree with you on Mukesh's voice. There is simply so much pain/dard in it, that I sometimes feel that he doesn't even have to try to sound sad. I like Zubaan pe Dard Bhari a lot too. In the picturization I like all those curtains/dr Read More...
Hi Dove Eye!! Thanks a lot for the RRC!! I like the song 'Dil Se Tujhko Bedili Hai Mujhko Hai Dil Ka Guroor Tu Yeh Maane Ya Na Maane Log Maanenge Zaroor' a lot too. Are there two versions of this number?? Uma
Commented on indian1969's review
Hi Ratna!! Manzilein apni jagah and chalte chalte are two of his songs that I like best. He was actually very talented but got ruined after his 'disco' phase I think. For some reason I find most of his later numbers to be unnecessarily loud. Good review as usual... A good job done in filtering Read More...
Hi Sarav, This is the FIRST time you have visited my space. Thanks a lot! and thanks for the RRC! Mukesh's voice is a deep baritone and I think it is best suited for sad songs.

Hi Thakurman!! Thanks a lot for the RRC!! Like Main_Chup said, 'yeh reshmi zulfein' is a Rafi song and not Mukesh's, but yes its very very romantic!! ;) Kishore and his 'ooohhoo hoo''s are in a league of their own. He singing was extremely spontaneous and he was much more versatile than Mukesh Read More...
