New Theme!!!

I just felt like changing the look of the blog, so hunted for a simple and clean theme and I found this one!!
Okay, this is also mainly black like my previous one,but I kinda like it very much.Simplicity.
BTW, for those looking for a new theme/skin, check out BlogSkins. This site has loads of skins...various types even for other blog types like wordpress, if I am not mistaken.
Anyway, hv been trying to get that links bar aligned properly, but I can't. I guess I will leave it just like that.

Oh,watched Dhaam Dhoom btw. And as I have mentioned above there, its a BIG dissapointment.

That's all for now.

Harris Jeyaraj does it again!!!

Yes, as much as I am a fan of AR Rahman...I simply love the man's one time assistant, Harris Jeyaraj as well.

I simply have no words to describe his awesomeness. He's probably one of the few consistent music directors of Tamil Cinema, apart from AR Rahman of course.
So, here I am spreading my thoughts on HJ's latest album, Vaaranam Aayiram. Vaaranam Aayiram is Gautham Menon's latest venture starring Surya. This is their second film together after the hugely successful Kaakha Kaakha (luv this movie :D).

Anyway, here's the list of the songs HJ has composed for the movie.
  • Adiyae Kolluthae
  • Anal Malae
  • Mundhinam
  • Oh! Shanti Shanti
  • Yethi Yethi
  • Ava Enna
  • Nenjukkul Peithidum
All the songs are totally superb. After the wonderful 'Dhaam Dhoom' songs, HJ has done it again. This time, even better!!! The only notable difference would be, the absence of Bombay Jeyashree. Wonder why she has not sung any song for this one.

Anyway, my pick of the lot would be:
  • Mundhinam : Sung by Naresh Iyer and newbie Prashantini, this sung is just simply sweet. The lyrics are also extremely beautiful.
  • Nenjukkul Peithidum : This one is by Hariharan. It's really sad that I am just realizing what a wonderful singer he is and what an amazing voice he has. I seriously love his songs, and hearing this song has only made it awesomely better.
  • Anal Malae : I must admit that I have something for slow-mo songs by HJ, especially the ones sung by Bombay Jeyashree. Anyway, this song is by Sudha Ragunathan who in my opinion, sounds almost like Bombay Jeyashree. This song, is of course another beauty.
For all those music people, and of course those who love Tamil Songs, please go and get these songs. They are a MUST!!

Am Back!!!

Yay!!! My exams are finally over...actually, got over last Tuesday. I was just kinda tired and had a really nice weekend full of nothing. I did nothing. And that's exactly what I like to do :D .

By the way, right after my exams, a few of my friends and I went to Mid Valley and literally spent our day chit-chatting + Starbucks + a movie. And seriously,
Starbucks'
Chocolate Chip Frappuccino ROX!!!


And, 'Black Water' which is currently running in cinemas, is quite good. Oh, I must say that the subtitle when they showed the movie's title was 'Hitam Buaya'!!! I wonder since when, air became buaya!!! LOL! On second thought, may be they were referring to the croc in the movie, but still!
Initially, the movie seemed like a documentary, but after the first 1/2 an hour or so it got pretty interesting. It's a typical 'crocodile' movie, where they have this big Croc gobbling up people and how this group which gets stuck in the middle try to save their lives.But, overall it was pretty 'entertaining' I would say...hehe...exciting too...I know, that these are not the words one would normally associate with these kind of croc movies, but I must say that I enjoyed the show. :D
By the way, the movie is supposed to be based on a true story.

Anyway,from now onwards, I will try to post as frequently as possible...and I actually have a few things to post about too. Watched some nice movies on tv/dvd, heard some new songs...so, yup...some posts on them will be up very soon.

That's all for now... ch@o!
