One last time

All of us would have gone thru some kind of 'Last time' episodes in life. Some good, some bad, overall emotional !

I went thru this, while I listened to 'BOB PRICE', in KCBS 106.9 FM this morning.

Today was his last day before he retires. I am a regular listener of KCBS and I don't miss his piece on Finance especially the 7.55 am. and the 8.25 am. reports, when I drive to work.

Today when he announced 'For the last time, this is BOB PRICE, KCBS', I felt very emotional! I've never seen BOB ( until today via the web ) but somehow, that 'Last time' sentence made me feel sad.

I will definitely miss BOB's reports.

Wish you the very best in life BOB !

Newsworthy?

This news item cracks me up.

But it bothers me that 'The Hindu' publishes these stories. Is this newsworthy to be published ? For me, the answer is a big 'NO'.

'The Hindu' was once read by aspiring IAS and IPS candidates just for the English language. These days, I feel it's like reading 'Dhinathandhi'...not that I have anything against the Tamil newspaper.

I've pointed out the quality issues in my blog every now and then.

Here is one and here is one more.

I think it's the changing times. Hope the editors realize it and bring back the quality news reporting that this newspaper was once famous for.

CHENNAI: The Fire and Rescue Services personnel rescued a man who was trapped in his bathroom in Nungambakkam on Thursday night.

According to police sources, Suraj (34) of Pycrofts Road went to the bathroom and found himself locked. After repeated attempts to open the door failed, he raised an alarm. Neighbours alerted the police who informed the Fire and Rescue Services control room.

A team reached the spot and rescued Suraj.

Happy Deepavali !

Give me the headset and play Ilayaraja songs and I'll go to heaven listening to them !

Very true...but.....

Every now and then a song comes out of AR Rahman, that mesmerizes me. The last few days, I've been listening to one of ARR's best songs.

Song is 'Udhaya Udhaya' from the movie Udhaya. Sung by Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam.

Thanks to my Zune and a great noise cancelling Sony headset I could enjoy the instruments that ARR has used in this song. It's out of this world I have to say. I don't have words to express the joy. ARR is just amazing with his BGM.

Of course, my praise won't be complete without a 'Hats off' to Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam..wonderful soulful singing !!

If you get a chance, listen to it in private, with no distractions using your headset, and you'll know what I am talking about.

Happy Deepavali !

நெஞ்சு பொறுக்குதில்லையே

கங்கையில் இறந்தவர் உடல் !!

நன்றி - The Hindu

இறந்தவர் சொர்க்கம் போனாரா ?

கடவுளுக்கு தான் தெரியும்!

இருப்பவருக்கு இந்த காட்சி

நரகம் தான்!

என்ன மூட நம்பிக்கைகளோ!

சிவ ராத்திரி

அருகில் உள்ளோரின் குறட்டை

மர வீட்டின் கர்..முர்ர்..!

பக்கத்து வீட்டு குழாய் சொட்டல்

மூன்றாம் வீட்டு பூனையின் மியாவ்

நான்கு தெரு தள்ளி போலிஸ் சைரன்

பக்கத்து ஊர் செல்லும் ஊர்திகளின் சர்..புர்ர்..!

காற்றுடன் சண்டை - இலைகளின் திட்டு

பனி விழ - புல்லின் முனகல்

நேற்றைய PIZZA - வயிற்று உறுமல்

அமெரிக்க இரவில் ஒரு சிவராத்திரி !!
