Its been some time i wrote here and gaps between each post is getting wider… But I hope in future , i might post more here as i am expecting something which might help me stay connected much more efficiently .Anyway coming to today’s post , as i said in my earlier post , this is just a weekly update of my play list but this time a little more of what i thought of those songs when i listen…..Again as i said earlier , search these songs in raaga.com or last.fm , you will definitely find them for sure…
1.)no me ames (duet with marc anthony) from On The 6 by Jlo
- this song used to be my favorite in my school days when AIWA cassette player were the latest boy thing … really lovely songs , but i don’t know what the real meaning is …
2.)Shattered from This is Us by Backstreet Boys
- One of my favorite band .. even though off lately they aren’t that good , as they used to be some years before , but still they are my favs
3.)Kan Vizhithal from Guru
- Really beautiful melody . Sung beautifully by Sowmya Raoh
4.)Oh Shala from Kaadhal Solla Vanthen by yUvan
- Currently the most heard song , it has really nice feel to it , even though i felt the lyrics could have been a little bit better.
5.)My World’s Spinning from I Believe by Tata Young
- I dont know why , but this week the list is mostly of my school days favourite.. This song has so much memories. Its really a energetic love song , just like Anbil avan song from VTV
6.)Taramp from Doli Saja ke rakhna By A.R
-Even though i dont know what the real meaning is , I still love the song , thats the wonder of music.. Its counterpart in Tamil is Jodi , But Hindi version was the first to come . So since i heard it first in Hindi I prefered the Hindi Version more.Again this song has so much memories in it….
[ad#250] 7.)Spectacle Discovery from National Treasure OST
-The use instruments is really amazing in this OST.
8.)Poojava Poojava from Priyamudan
-One of the few songs which takes love so deep and dark. The lyrics in particular are deep and strong. One of my favourites.Actually that film is all time favourite.
9.)Elay Elay-Kid version from Kathiri Veyil
-The kids voice is sharp and the speed pickup of the whole song is just correct, added with the sweet crisp , bits of her reply to the kids reply makes this a unique song .. Must hear.! And don’t miss the soft piano in the deep background – its the same music when the song starts. When you hear it the along with the whole song , it gives a different feel to the song. Just try it..After all Music is another form of art !
10.)Never Gonna Leave Your Side from Never Gonna Leave Your Side by Daniel Bedingfield
I will just leave you with the lyrics of this song.. Its simply sweet.
“Never Gonna Leave Your Side”
I feel like a song without the words
A man without a soul
A bird without its wings
A heart without a home
I feel like a knight without a sword
The sky without the sun
cos you are the one
I feel like a ship beneath the waves
A child who’s lost its way
A door without a key
A face without a name
I feel like a breath without the air
And every day’s the same
since you’ve gone away
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning
You used to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that could describe how I miss you
and I miss you everyday
yeah
and I’m never gonna leave your side
and I’m never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won’t let you go
cos when I’m lying in your arms
I know I’m home
They tell me that a man can lose his mind
Living in the pain
Recalling times gone by
And crying in the rain
You know I’ve wasted half the time
And I’m on my knees again
’till you come to me
yeah
I gotta have a reason to wake up in the morning
You used to be the one that put a smile on my face
There are no words that could describe how I miss you
and I miss you everyday
yeah
and I’m never gonna leave your side
and I’m never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won’t let you go
I lay my head against your heart
I know I’m home
I know I’m home
I know I’m home
and I’m never gonna leave your side
and I’m never gonna leave your side again
still holding on girl
I won’t let you go
cos when I’m lying in your arms
I know I’m home

If you like my playlist , do comment below..
Thanks for reading through
Recently i thought that i would aggregate my favourite songs and put it as my playlist , but i thought instead of that, i would select a song , which i love most and describe the best part of the song , which particular line or tune i like in it so that you all can also experience the ecstasy like me. For me music is deeply intertwined with my life. That’s because of the constant encouragement and support from my family and also my friends. Anyway shall we get into the world of my music..
Today my selected song is “Thuli Thuli “from Paiyaa. Recently it was nominated as the top song so far in 2010 my Behindwoods.com. Previuosly i used to love yuvan , he had all the variety in the start , but as time passed , i started seeing more remix from his father’s songs and less variety . but as usual , the world is round and this time he has came with a big bang. This song is full of love and backed my the strong lyrics, this one song is to be heard a thousand times, thanks again for the superb lyrics by Na. Muthukumar
[ad#250]
Song is sung by haricharan. The song starts with a good beat and slowly takes into the main song. Haricharan voice is excellent and particularly in one place which is will tell you a little later. Before going, here is the lyric of the song.
The background beat and use of instrument is excellent. Even though i don’t know carnatic , but i used to sing lots of songs. So as a non carnatic person , and as person like you , i know how difficult it is sing certain part of the song. For carnatic experts , those may be a cakewalk , but for day today life , especially when you don’t have a music player , you become the singer and your mind becomes the virtual instrument player.
The song hits the high note in the middle..and rapidly followed by another high . As a casual singer, hitting two high successively is a bit difficult , unless otherwise you want to stop for a few seconds and take the right pitch and take on the second high… anyway its all easy if you start the first high a little lower , so that the second high can be covered with the rest of the breath and don’t have to peak again . But anyway if you try to sing the two peaks continuously, i am sure the voice will have to break a little on the second high.. it’s that high and yuvan is always known for his highs..
The best part of the song is not the tune or the singer … its the lyrics. The most romantic lines i have heard in the recent times. It really shows how much a love can do and willing to do. Even though all the line are just metaphor , they are all beautifully woven together to give a nice romantic feel
This review is one i wrote for www.Thinkdigit.com/forum
Thought i should add it here and update also…
So here we go …
I Got 40 GB version .. so i will stick with this version alone .. but will also point out the pros/cons of other version too..if any
ok Can we get started… ??

the main difference in the different version are in
HD : as the version suggest….
USB PORT : 40 GB version comes with front 2 usb port
60 GB version comes with 4 , 2 in Front and 2 in Rear
80 GB ditto of 60 GB
PS2 compatibility : 40 GB doesn’t support ps2 games while other version supports them thru emulation ( emotion engine)
FLASH CARD READER : 60 and 80 supports … 40 doesn’t..
SACD : not many will be knowing this .. anyway 40 gb doesn’t support…
Here is why 40 GB is fine for many…Indians : ( this is my personal view)
1.) USB port doesn’t matter as u can add USB hub and connect your peripherals in them..
2.) Hard Disk doesn’t matter since its totally legal to swap your 40 gb with 120 GB or more …( laptop hard disk with 5400 rpm ) and more over i still haven’t used much of the hard disk..
3.)Flash Card Reader : well as i said .. connect a card reader through usb .. ( the local one which cost around 500-700 ) and well u have a card reader..
4.)SACD : what is it ??? so doesn’t matter to most
5.)Money : Ya you save around
5k = 2 PS3 games
but if u want the best of the ps3 and want the ultimate.. then my advice is just wait for few more months as there has been plans to release a newer version of PS3 with better hardware and probably with GTR 5 prologue
so enough said….about hardware.. what about software??
well the latest firmware is 2.10 has the following features..
[quote]Voice Changer
The Voice Changer feature has been added to voice / video chat.
Other new or revised features in version 2.10:
Music
You can now select [Type 3] as an option under [Settings] > [Music Settings] > [Bitmapping].
A new pattern has been added for the visual player.
Video
DivX and VC-1 (WMV) have been added to the types of files that can be played.
Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 is now supported.
[BD Data Utility] has been added. [/quote]ok if u have the previous version.. just update it .. coz with DIVX playback.. u have a wide range of video format playback.. which is very nice..and u will be able to play almost all DOWNLOADED videos..
the Actual software is called the XMB (Xross Media Bar)
this is how it looks with icons placed vertical and horizontal and navigation through them is fun and easy..
and this i some what i found on the net.. regarding XMB..
[quote]XMB color schemes
The XMB’s default background color changes depending on the current month of the year, and it changes brightness depending on the time of day. A major color change occurs on the 15th and 25th of each month, the color gradually changes between those dates, but the major change is during the three days before those dates in each month. However, a later firmware revision (1.90; released July 23, 2007) allows users change the background of the XMB to display any photograph saved on the console’s hard drive.[/quote]
this is really nice .. but there are also themes , very cool looking themes to fit…
DESIGN :
Well it cant get any better…
the black silky, shiny outer surface with curved outer part.. puts this console on shelves as a showpiece.. a costly jewel…
and the silver lining is absolutely awesome…
SIXASIS:
The best Joystick ever…
with well placed buttons and absolutely weight less and it does perfectly fits in your hand.. and great for playing for hours..
but as for me .. my hands get sweaty… and the SIXASIS tends to loose friction or grip.. but a soft cloth clean will put the controller back under my grip…
for starters like me .. the wireless feature took me my surprise.. because it made gaming more easy and comfortable.. now i can sit / lie down/ and play the game… without worrying about the wires..that’s a great plus for hardcore gamers… Sony claims that you can add up to 7 ( ya , did u get the no correct .. its S-E-V-E-N) SIXASIS .. through Bluetooth and claims to have a range of 20 meter… but in normal case.. it will provide a good coverage for a single room..without any obstruction with walls .. between ps3 and sixasis…
PS3 controller has got a rechargeable battery and the battery life once charged comes for nearly 4-5 hours of play.. i.e. by using SIXASIS through Bluetooth…
i think this number is great since u don’t have to be connected to ps3 all time.. and the wire provided is also stable and thick..and at this point i just want to tell a small incident which happened to me//
i had my ps3 in vertical position and very edge of my table.. and when i started playing ( with sixasis connected to ps3 thru wire) i subconsciously pulled the sixasis away from ps3 and to my surprise the sixasis came separate or say the wire with usb connection slided out smooth, which would have probably been a disaster with the wire pulling own my whole ps3 to the ground..NICE ENGINEERING THERE… SONY !!! HATS OFF !!!
ok lets come to the accelerometer feature…( which i had it in k850 too )
this version of accelerometer is far more better than what i have in k850…
the sensitivity is top notch, and accurate, precise.. simply awesome…
but one downside is there is no option ( or i didn’t find ) to control how much the accelometer should ne sensitive or something like that… little downside .. but not that much a BIG problem..
ok lets rightly start with the Media Centre function
Media Function :
Well at present PS3 is capable of playing major formats..
the following are the formats supported
The following types of videos can be played:
Here is a small tip:
If u insert the thumb drive and your Ps3 doesn’t show any files..don’t panic.. just press the triangle and select ” SHOW ALL ” .. to show all the files regardless of folder name..
this has been a common fact that SE phones read respective files in respective folder ( except k850) such as jpeg in “PICTURE” folder and MP3 in “MUSIC” folder .. etc.. and that’s how PS3 works too … so this tip will help u when your files are out of order with the required folder name..
So well said about the formats.. here why PS3 is incredible to replace us HOME THEATRE :
1.) it supports up to 1080p ( simply awesome) , that’s really awesome considering present day costly DVD players.. and also needless to say BLURAY PLAYERS
2.)extensive control over the media files… ( copy to internal ps3 hard disk if u want.. delete them, move them .. change video screen size , audio options, etc etc..)
3.) optical output .. and also HDMI output and support for 5.1
4.)and support for BLURAY ( the future format …)
5.) and also support to profile 2.0 ( bluray) which makes VERY VERY FUTURE PROOF…
6.)Superior quality and output of A/V makes this one the BEST REPLACEMENT of all those players ( DVD/Bluray) out there ..
remember: today’s BD player are still not 2.0 profile supportive.. meaning .. it cant be even upgraded through a update like in ps3.. since profile 2.0 requires a local HD of 20 GB and network compatible.. which leaves many players in dark..
so as far as video playback is concerned.. let me tell u i have never experienced like this simply coz .. it was a tremendous move from DVD player to something high definition like ps3… for me .. PS3 playback is top notch..
u simply cant expect anything better…
it gives u option like
1.)screen size : normal , actual size , zoom
2.)audio volume control + boost
3.)some other option like : dynamic control, reduction of noise level , pixel level reduction … etc.. (forgot other names…)
4.)selection of audio channels
5.)display of details like bit rate, channels, time lapsed , format , subtitle option etc..
6.)time search is also there with chapter search too..
its just a few features away from PC version of movie viewing…
on the whole .. it simply is superb..!!! enough to replace all the players out there…
Gaming :
Needless to say we all know what a cell proccy is capable of ..
and given a MONSTER proccy .. the games are simply fluid smooth… no glitch whats so ever…
but there is a small disappointment.. ie the memory… as i have mentioned before.. it supports 256MB GDDR3 , which many consider to be not enough .. but many developers say that since 1080p is he max video out and max video input supported by most LCD out there … they feel this wont be a problem.. and say that it would be more than enough… !!! ( this is actually from Crysis Developers )
with the best the controller .. and best hardware .. all u get is BEST GAMING CONSOLE… !!! end of topic…
p.s i have got burnout paradise (720p support) .. and so far i haven’t had any issue and graphics are simply spectacular ( when i was playing games in PC with 800×600 or to max of 1024×768 ) and also since there isn’t many games with me … i cant explain more about the performance.. but as for now .. its cheese smooth or oil smooth .. or baby smooth .. whatever smooth u want
Updates / Firmware :
Sony has been regularly updating the PS3 Firmware and they are quite Good at it.When I bought PS3 it was just a nibble gaming console with little options and features.. now it plays nearly all Video format and relatively STABLE
so this far … i think i have covered most stuff.. if not please do comment here..
A different film with loads of information and truth in it…A film I very much liked .. but felt at one point of the time that it keeps repeating again n again… anyway a great film to watch..and a must watch film.
Yes its a film based on Indian Kid and poverty but whats that has do it with our film industry .. Only thing we have from our film industry is A.R.Rahman.. but wait , is it the first English movie he is working on ??? NO !!!
Then why is the whole India Celebrating this Oscar ( I meant to say the awards for director , film editing , Cinematography etc..)
The only true victory or say should be proud of is A.R.Rahman … and not the other things… For Your information , Slumdog Millionaire is a DAMN British produced movie and actors are Brit- Origin… now these things said .. Should we really enjoy the victory of SlumDog millionaire ?? and what have we come to ?? Depending on foreign director to uphold Indian Film industry ..!! and virtually saying that there is no good directors in India… Its a Shame!!
O.k Here is another piece of information or say a truth , There are over hundreds of films being released each and every year from the film industry …and this includes the more prominent , Bollywood , Kollywood , Tollywood… and all other wooods….
Why cant we get ONE film into Oscar ??? Isn’t that be the question of the hour ? Or say where is our film industry going towards ?
Except for HYPES ( nowadays even Dog food comes with Hype !! ) , there is not much to dwell into todays film.. Except handful of movies others are mostly commercial oriented.. anyway lets come back to SlumDog Millionaire
Yes , I do agree , its a film which involves Indian actors , Mumbai , Taj Mahal etc etc… but wait is this the only film to show all these or involve these ?? did any one know about a film called The Darjeeling Limited ? Even that too had ” India ” in it ?? and what about the film ” Mighty Heart ” which was entirely shot in India and also involved Indian Actors .!
All I am saying is lets us celebrate the things which REALLY belong to us ..
A.R.Rahman …?? Yes off course .. He should be celebrated as a HERO.But many critics from India have commented that even though A.R.Rahman has won the awards , are the Songs , OST really deserve it ?? I mean to say his works here in India is far more awesome than what was in Slumdog… and needless to say there is a part in the LIQUID DANCE song where he has taken a Tune from ” Gentle Man ” – Chiku Bukku Chiku Bukku Railae ..
Anyway we can take his award as a mush delayed Tribute to the MUSICAL KING OF INDIA!!
So why did we go Gaga over the film ???
What made us go ??
Who is the culprit here ??
The NEWS CHANNELS !!!
I don’t want to write about them here … it would only extend this article..
I don’t know when they will start showing , focusing on the real NEWS ..!!!
All I want to say to all is since because some fool over the TV is saying some Sh!t .. Don`t take it just like that .. Analyze for a moment .. All these news channel want is SENSATION to feed in and we people are really Hungry for it !!
But I hope in future , i might post more here as i am expecting something which might help me stay connected much more efficiently .Anyway coming to today’s post , as i said in my earlier post , this is just a weekly update of my play list but this time a little more of what i thought of those songs when i listen…..Again as i said earlier , search these songs in raaga.com or last.fm , you will definitely find them for sure…
