Allan Lamp 4 Runs, Micheal Holding 1 Wicket :)

Life is full of mysteries. I don’t have any clue when i kept this, how it came out,
but this damn thing travelled with me quite a long time.
Any body for that matter you search for something and you will end up with some thing else. Like that after a decade i am seeing this – sweet gum wrapper.

Way back 80sh Np Bubble gum dominates the gum market. Good thing about Np is it is very blunt in taste, with more elasticity and
produces big bubble. Just of the Nps crooning success, “B.Ig Fu.n” entered into the market with good band wagon – “B.ig Fu.n player contest. “
Every gum comes with a runs wrapper
Collecting 100 Runs – 10 Wickets get u a diary with cricketers photo.
Collecting 300 Runs – 30 Wickets get u a calendar with cricketers photo and autograph.

Lovely days .. we were totally mad about these wrappers. More than chewing the gum, its like seeing exam results who got what wrapper , how many runs etc. Then we do barter system also for 6 runs of Vivan richards 12 runs should be given
My luck i always get Austine Logie 2 Runs or Micheal Holding 1 wicket.

Interestingly what made cricket is the religon among us ?
Well i am say considering a sport as sport cricket is also a finest game in the world.

Cricket needs lots of concentration,
humongous amount of energy ( playing 9 to 6 in a day for any geographical conditions is not joke ),

• Good amount of mind science
• Interestingly it involves lot of physics .
• I am not joking check out some standard search engine to find out

How an inswinging yorker bowled ?
How a flipper articulated to a batsmen ?
How to play a smooth cover drive ?
How to catch a ball if your in slip and how to do that if your in a boundary… ? and lot more …

coming to the point .. “What made cricket so popular in India ? ”

1. Being a British corrupted colony nation cricket got DNAized to us.
2. Economically viable game. Just a rubber ball is enough to start the game.
3. you can play with any number of people.
4. Main thing what i feel is cricket is highly customized form of game.

e.g ) book cricket, street cricket,one pitch catch, one day, five day, 20-20 etc.You can tailor make your form of cricket and play for fun.

Disclaimer:
A person started his journey in book cricket and
yet another road side crazy cricketer,
played worst cricket so far in life,
but love the game and not the players who spoil the game.
Not only cricket any game i believe.

Apples & Oranges

Lull sunday, saltless briyani, world cup debacle made to lazy.
To energize myself i reloaded some greatest hitz of P.B.Srinivas sir. I would say its a harmony dip
Right from
Paarthein Sirithen – Veera Abhimanyu, Inbam Pongum Vennilla – V.P.Kattabomman
to few selected kannada numbers like
Aadisi Nodu Beelisi Nodu – Kasthuri Nivasa are rocking.
As expected i am also gonna a say “What a magnetic voice he has ?“. ya true.

But the post is all about a hot debate with my pal Shiva.Ranjan. As usual we started with some technical discussion( ho man ), then moved to indian cricket, then into music.

Being proud kannadiga he tempted to say “Dr.Rajkumar screwed Mr. P.B.Srinivas career ?”.
I am not at all surprised as for his statement is very much predominant among people. But i am totally mooted to take up this debate.

Give me break !!!!
How come one person de-fame others talent that too a actor Vs singer combination. Its kind of comparing apples and organes.

My friends main life line point is “Dr.Rajkumar started singing on his own?”.

Is this only point is enough to make such broad statement i donna. Well for me its a self introspection with in the person called Dr.Rajkumar.
He gauged his music talent, worked hard, practised and started singing for his movies.

Though I don’t know much of his songs but what ever i listen quite often like Beladingalaagi Baa -( Huliya Haalina Mevu), Ninna Mareyalaare(****) types are mellifluous. Even though i donna the language he made me to hum. I would say thats the success of a singer. and he created another space for his vocal ability. thats it.

Only similarities among the legends is their vocal shades, which is nature and not hindering. Further if a singer to Actor cardinality relationship is one to one then its not gonna work.

Take another typical example. Kamal Hassan – S.P.B sir – deadly duos and owner of super duper melodies. But now kamal started singing for his movies( most of them ) its not hindering S.P.B sir any way.

IMHO both are legends in musical space by their genre

P.S>> Thanks to shiva.ranjan for his hot debate. i donna he convinced or not.

Happy Ugadi !!!!

ellorum eppadi conclude panna sollura-inga >>>

Happy Ugadi to you too. For those who dont know what Ugadi is, it is New Year
for Kannadigas, celebrated all over Karnataka, the most important festival of
the year followed by Deepavali, Sankranthi(Pongal in Tamil),
etc.

Coming to Apples and Oranges, an interesting debate. To start
of, PBS is a great talented singer, who has rendered his voice to various actors
in Kannada Tamil and pre-dominantly Dr.Rajkumar, can be told that he became the
voice of Rajkumar in the film industry. PBS carved out his own niche in the film
industry and from when Dr.Raj entered, all were super hits and PBS’s career was
at a peak.

Dr.Raj is a legend, to correct you, he is a drama
artisit before movies – “naataka” in kannada and comes from that
background (father forefather all drama company people). He is trained very well
in singing from early years of his life and did lots n lots of singing during
drama performances all over karnataka for years and his singing during his drama
performances are supposed to be the most splendid attractions backing his acting
skills. He did not carry this to his film career until one point.

When he started to sing, he proved his abilities once again that
he is a gifted all rounder as an artist and hardly anybody is blessed with all
these skills.

Ruining PBS’s career – to a certain extent ‘Yes’ it
is true. There was a lot of friction that came in when he started to sing.
Although not talent wise, his musical career – business wise took a downward
graph. Ofcourse, PBS used to mention in all his interviews about his gratitude
for Dr.Raj and Dr.Raj also vice versa.

Comparing Kamal SPB – this
is not relevant here coz Dr.Raj has sung innumerable songs and is very well
trained classical singer, won National Award for singing also. Probably the only
actor so far to win. Kamal may have good knowledge, but no comparison to vocals.
No one can touch SPB who is a legend again. 10-15 songs of Kamal cannot even
touch SPB but more than 300 songs of Dr.Raj can definitely touch PBS’s career.
That is the truth.

However, PBS’s talents as a singer is
commendable and due respects to him, Dr.Raj is a gem of a singer. Talented
people get recognition somehow or the other. But when it comes to making
business out of talent, it definitely gets affected.

Mozhi

Knowing nature’s language, human language is not required.
Knowing heart’s(Loves) language, lanugage is not required.
-vairamuthu – Mozhi movie.

Its a a pillayar suzhi for this post (not a review ).
Belying point to the mozhi song – Mozhi/Language is an opus creation of mankind which carries lot of values.
But the notion of the post is all about
“How tamil language is older than sanskrit ?”.
Information gained out here is based on few ph.d papers which i went through long back.Though i am failed to recollect authors information, interestingly his idea stick to my mind.
Author’s of the paper did a great work, collected lots of information and convince you in a more comfortable way.
Among all the points he stated i am kind of over biased with this point.

We all know sound is the basic building block for any language and lets travel back to an era where there is no sound.There is no communication conduit.Only tranquality prevails.
i donna how the world look like.

As time rolls on human-being started interacting in un-structured sound form.
Taking that era as sample space.An un-structured sound will not have gamakams, no carnatic nothing. Its a plain old boolean logic based mono syllable word with action, contextual meaning,
sound created based on primitive instruments etc etc…

moving further ->

• mankind grows,
• clan splits,
• individuality crops up,
• lingos created
• invasion happens,
• grammers introduced.. etc etc
• equivalent mono-syllable words formed a simple language.

Now lets apply this theorem to our candidates ( Tamil & Sanskrit ).
Tamil alphabet starts like ka, nja, cha, …

• Mono-syllable
• Boolean form
• e.g:) ka is one alphabet/ single frequency
• Tamil is a flat language

Sanskrit alphabet starts like ka, kha, ga ,gha

• Multi syllable
• Fuzzy form
• e.g:) there are 4 ka’s / four frequency
• lanugage is more sweet or gamakkams parts.

Well in a normal terms “You can-not jump to intermediate things if u don’t know what is start and end.”.
practical examples –
1. fan requlators – legacy ones has only two mode -> on/off, –> later on,1, 2, 3, 4,off and now –> present ones have smooth shafts

2. morse code approach –> java programming language.

I like that way author convience you with various derivatives.
Remember this is an “open to doubt” information and i am not concluding any thing and idea is not that.
P.S>> “Knowing heart’s(Loves) language, lanugage is not required”

Amenda :)

Its a way back my college day moments. As like every body , going further into computers we all fascinated with Roja – Arvindswamy, neighbourhood anna in CA( pakkathu aathu ambi ), etc etc Ooops.. countless . ( let me take some other post to get pakkathu aathu ambi moments )
