Rehman rocks in OSCARS!!!

Yet again, Rehman's magic can be seen in the oscars also.. Congrats for the "Deserving Rehman's" award.. Rehaman, U ROCK MAN!!!
Coming to his speech, i guess it could be better.He talked about the very well known Bollywood dialog,"mere paas maa hai" in a very wrong context and not assertive at all. Plus, he also quoted a tamil dialog which of course I did not understand, so did the audience in the awards. And for the second award - "All my life I have had a choice between hate and love," he tells us. "I chose love, and that is why I am here tonight." (Can't comment on this, but people who don't know, the correct kind of choices he had and relatively what difficulties he faced, the statement made no sense...). (Quoted from http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2009/feb/22/oscars-2009-live-minute-by-minute-blog) A bit more energy and enthsiasm would have made the speech impressive, inspite of the "locally known dialogs" quoted by him. But then, that's his nature - soft spoken. But it is "The Oscars", c'mon buck up Mr. Rehman!!!
But as we all know, work speaks more than words, so did rehman's music is way too good, to compare with these speech or his fashion sense or whatsoever.
Ultimately, Rehman U rock !!!

Rehman just won "Best Music" in BAFTA Awards.

No doubts that A.R.Rehman gives one of the most finest music, now not only for our country films, but for international movies as well!!! Thats something to feel very very proud of. Isn't it. But I very strongly believe that, Jai ho as well as the background score of "Slumdog Millionaire" is not one of the best works of A.R.Rehman.

But then, it doesn't matter till your work is appreciated, no matter late. As the saying goes - "Better late than never"... :)

Delhi 6 music rocks. Awesome beats, in the songs. And i love the way the song "Genda phool" beats after the "mukhda"(the first two lines of the song). Its so unexpected, the way the song starts. That's the catch... Well Rehman, love it!!! Too gooooodddd!!! All the songs equally rock. My first favorite being, "ye delli hai mere yaaaaarr". Really looking forward for the movie, hoping to be equally as good as the movie is.

Well, Delhi 6, i think is better than slumdog millionaire. :)

But music is one thing i like. So good music, good work, will always catch attention!!

Cheers to A.R.Rehaman, HIP HIP HURRAY.
I am sure the OSCARS is yours!!!

'UN" REALITY SHOWS !!!

"If you think, that you have never got an opportunity to show your real talent, here is now the platform, which will give you, what you need to be a star."
Heard this a lot of times? I will help you remember where... In the television… Still trying to remember where?? Any reality show, more or less they try their level best to sound different, but unfortunately, they mean the same.

Just FYI, Sunidhi Chauhan, had won the "Meri Awaaz Suno 1996" adjudged by the legends in music like, Lata Mangeshkar, Bhupen Hazarika just to name a few!!

Does anyone remember the male winner of the same competition? He was Mr. Pradip Somasundaran. Yes, even I never remembered his name. But then as I was googling, I came across his blog. I was very excited to see the video posted by him, the first episode of Meri Awaaz Suno. After I read the blog, written by him, I was shocked!! Reality shows were as unreal then, as they are now!!! Can't digest this? How can this happen, in those days, when legends of music were judging the reality show?? Yes, he claims to have not got been awarded with what he deserved and promised, which is a very sad state of the so called very hyped up "REALITY SHOWS" which most of the urban population gets involved into, whether it be voting or crying when their favorite contestant gets eliminated.

And above all that, the winning participants are not even given what they are promised? Then why to have a platform set up to make them dream big?

Like many other talented people, even they will do what the other people do. A 9-5 job which they never wanted to, and in spite of having the talent in them, because of lack of so called "resources", their aim to reach the heights, is shattered.

I was moved reading his post. And realizing that, some things just don't end that well also, life moves on.... But the thought will always remains... Will things ever change in reality for "Happies Endings"??

His blog, (fyi) is - http://www.pradipsomasundaran.com/2008/05/sunidhi-chauhan-performing-in-meri-awaz.html

Happy New Year -2009 !!

A very happy and a prosperous new year to all !!!

A warm welcome to the year 2009 !!

GENRATION AND TIME

... Go hand in hand

LOVE, one of the most common words you will hear nowadays. Earlier, a guy and a girl walking on the road, made everyones' head turn, and now, holding hands and cuchipooing on the roads (no kona s required) are quite normal shows. ;)

Generation!!! is the answer if anyone has a question or debate with it..

Love is very simple. Parents, sibblings, friends and may be pets also. So, Love is quite simple with them, as i already told. Complication is when, it comes to your so-called boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife.

Why?

Answer is same "Generation".

What's your take?

-> Surprised? Smiling? Already knew? Or Not posible?

My take is yes, its Generation!!

Many of us would have fought with our parents saying that, you can't understand ME. Then it's generation gap. But soon the next thing (which i can say maximum number of) children would do is say sorry, as we remeber that they are elders and respect comes first. And then fight sorts out in max cases.

Here, in case of Love, between same gen people, we know our generation so well, that we always think in the lines the way we have seen the world around us and the best(or so to say the worst) part is always in the negative lines, leading to more problems.

Even if none of the two, are cheating on each other, there is always a streak of doubt.

But when its your parents, you don't doubt at all. Do you?

Thats because of TIME. Knowing a person for a long time is the only solution to the problem. We seldom tend to doubt on people whom we have known for quite a long time. Give sufficient time for your loved one, to have an unproblematic Love Life.. :) is the moral of the story!!!

So the problem of Generation, is Time itself. :)

Note: Please leave your comments. It will add on to the blog in my next post!

WHAT IS COGNOS ?

Cognos, an IBM company, is the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions. It provides world-class enterprise planning and BI software and services to help companies plan, understand and manage financial and operational performance. Cognos was acquired by IBM in January 2008.

Cognos 8 BI ensures accurate reporting and handling of numeric data. The numbers have to add up in the day-to-day processes in a scope that Excel cannot cover.

Reporting is both open and transparent, which makes decision-making knowledge-based, facilitates data management, and transforms the ‘I think’ into ‘I know’ statements.

The main drawback is query performance, a highly normalized model will lead to dozens of tables in a single SQL statement, leading to large execution plans and potentially slow performance.

Relational data sources also pose a number of modelling challenges for the framework modeller to create predictable query results.

But then it can be solved by using a dimensionally modelled database for querying.

My Take :-

Very amazing and programmer friendly.

The code hardly needs any changes.

And as it is open reporting, any changes made at the code level, will not effect upgradations in anyways (unlike SAP etc)

UI can be made as catchy and presentable as possible.

A streak of THOUGHT!!!

If you don't match with the person yoou talk to,
best thing is smile and end the conversation....

Healthy for both parties!!!! [;)]
