Pudhu Postungo!!!

hi gags...
Im writing this post after a looong time as i was busy with EXAMS, Cricket, tour etc.. And now that im back into college, i thought i can start posting again... But, to start posting again, i need to hav an idea on what to post..

So, will it be a nice review on Sivaji-the Blockbuster???!!! which i saw 3 times, once in Vetrivel and once in sathyam and once on the tour in Delite theatre,Delhi... No no... To post a review for a film that is more than 15days old, is like eating idly with oosi pona thengai chutney.. So, no sivaji review... So... What else would it be???

A nice looong post on the most memorable, unforgettable tour that happened a week back??? No... 3 posts on the same topic is like eating 6 aaloo parathas in shimla without having a loparet in ur pockets... So.. for a detailed recollection of memories on tour, visit http://www.gmahesh.blogspot.com/ or http://www.vamshi30.blogspot.com/ .

Will it be a detailed expanation on the ongoing Wimbledon?? Where, its gonna be the damn swiss man smacking the a** of Nadal unlike the French open where the latter did that to the former... No no... Edhukku thevayillama Tennis ellam izhukanum??? Adhu baatuku orama nadakattum...

So, i have finally decided to write a post on the newly elected 7 wonders of the world... So... It all started sum 2 months back... Or atleast I hope so... That sms started to do the rounds... Vote for Taj... Sms to 4567 etc... I too did vote for my 7 wonders out of which only 2 got selected as the wonders of the World... So... The finalists were,

The Acropolis, Greece	Alhambra, Spain	Angkor, Cambodia	Statues of Easter Island, Chile	Eiffel Tower, France	Hagia Sophia, Turkey	Kiyomizu Temple, Japan
Kremlin/St. Basil, Russia	Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany	Pyramids of Giza, Egypt	Statue of Liberty, USA	Stonehenge, United Kingdom	Sydney Opera House, Australia	Timbuktu, Mali

I thought, of the 7 new wonders that were selected... Some deserved to be one and sum dint... The 7 new wonders actually are..

1. Well... This is the Pyramid of Chichen Itza in Mexico... A Mayan temple and is one of the last and greatest pyramids that the mayans had... Aama??? Maayan na ennane theriyadhu.. As far as i know of Mayan is Nazar of Thevar Magan fame...

2. Next on line is the Christ Redeemer, Brazil... Its a statue of jesus atop a mountain in the fashion city of Brazil, Rio de janiero...


3. The Great Wall of China... Part of the ancient wonders as well i suppose... As far as i know, its a long stone wall stretched through some kms and it forms a border for china...


4. Next comes the, Machu Pichu in Peru...It means Old mountain..



5. Next in line is the Petra, Jordan.. Itz a temple with tunnels situated at the edge of Arabian desert.

6. Aduthu, The Roman Colosseum in Italy.. Itz an ampitheatre and a modern sports stadium... One of ma favorites... I selected this in my 7 wonders too obviously...



7. The Last but not the least!!! Being an Indian, Im proud that Taj Mahal is the part of the new 7 wonders of the world.. But, personally, i thought the Taj doesnt deserve to be one...Considering the fact tht i visited it very recently and what i felt was that many wonders like the Sydney opera and Angkor Vat temple deserved to be in the new wonders but unfortunately couldnt be so... Any way, jeeth gaya bhai jeeth gaya, India ka pyaar chinha jeeth gaya...

So...Apram enna??? Avlavudhaanpa!!! Post mudinjudhu... Comment pannunga...

P.S: Sorry for those who expected a long tour post... I thought 2 posts were more than enough..

Ma oldie goldie will be back!!!

Well... I deleted ma personal blog of mine called www.sooramokkai.blogspot.com due to some fucking reasons... Now i badly want them back... So, im trying to get hold of a new blog soon... So, for god's sake plz wait till i lay ma muddy hands on tht ruddy url once again!!! Thnk u...

Review:

To start with, Unnale Unnale is a poetic love story with a difference. From the introduction itself, it seems evident that this film is something new and different from the other films of the same genre and storyline. Vinay plays a young Civil Engineer and he is an ideal hero for this film and rightly fits into the role. Vinay is a tall, young and handsome lad shows good acting prowess and has good scope in kollywood with his looks. Tanisha is one of the heroines who happens to be the sister of the beautiful, evergreen Kajol... She is beautiful and bubbly and fits the bill as the friend of the hero Vinay...She looks fresh and never looks to make the environment gloomy. Then, Sadha..... I have seen her in Jeyam and Anniyan.... But not as beautiful, as charismatic, as sexy, as lively, as in Unnale Unnale!!! I just couldnt take my eyes of Sadha.. Scene by scene, Reel by Reel, she is as beautiful as I could imagine... The story is a poetic love story as i said before and it mainly revolves around these 3 characters.. All the 3 characters have done their part really well... A warm applause to the 2 new comers Tanisha and Vinay and a really, really warmer applause to Sadha for her acting.. Her eyes speak a lot in this movie... Oh!! I actually forgot that I was writing a review for a film not for the heroine.. The other cast like Raju, Srinath and Sathish have also done their part particularly well.. There is no separate comedy tracks... Each and every scene is filled with Youth, Love and Humour and so, there is really no need for a separate comedy track... And one more thing to be applauded is that there is no blood, no action which makes it one of those out and out love story... The film has been shot in Melbourne, Sydney and London.. So there is no dearth of scenery as well... So, a must watch for youth... I think the director must have done a lot of work cos he has completely read through the mind and mentality of a girl... Sadha as the possessive lover has done her job well and I would really want to adore my blog with this...

The Big "+" Music:
Music is one of the biggest plus in this movie... The picturisation of the songs is even more amazing.. Gr8 work by Jeeva... All the songs are amazing and even before the film was released, the songs created the much needed hype..But the film lived upto the expectations. Jeeva and Harris Jayaraj have created magic in 12B and Ullam Ketkumae before. They have taken off from where they had left in Ullam Ketkumae to give a quality music which is sure to spell bound the masses.A right mix of melody and racy rhythms, the album has everything a music-connoisseur expects. Harris Jayaraj, a man of few words, has once again allowed his music to speak.

June Pona (Krish, Arun)
It begins with weighted rhythms that Harris Jayaraj is famous for. A western melody with perfect beats, the song has good orchestration which is a hallmark of Harris Jayaraj's songs. Leaving his signature in the song, the music-composer has managed to ensure that lyric and the music go hand in hand. Krish and Arun have rendered their best.

Hello Miss (G V Prakash, Anushka)
The young and talented music composer G V Prakash, who managed to hog all limelight with Veyyil, has crooned the song in the company of Anushka. Being a music director himself has helped him render the song with needed life. A typical Harris number, the song begins on a brisk note with a catchy humming, the Anglican way of rendering by Prakash is a big attraction. The additional percussion strikes.

Vaigasi Nilavae (Haricharan, Madhusree)
A perfect ten by Harris Jayaraj. A catchy melody with striking lyrics, the song sticks to the hearts on the first listening. Harris has proved yet again that he is the master of melodies. The brilliant use of guitars with percussion instruments, it is a good melody.With a solo violin in the interlude, Harris simply touches the heart and soul of the listeners in the interlude. Commendable job indeed by Harris.

Mudhal Naal (Mahalakshmi, KK)
Harris Jayaraj goes the Eric Clapton way. Begins with a perfect rhythm, the song has a catchy dilly and the mesmerizing flute in between to caress the listeners. The open-throated KK in the company of Mahalakshmi manages to create a romantic ambience. A difficult composition by Harris Jayaraj, but made to look at the easy at the end.

Ilamai Ulasam (Krish, Shalini)
Krish begins in a husky manner. With Shalini joining him, the song slowly goes on to catch the top gear. Harris Jayaraj has opted for saxophone to make a beginning. Watch out for the tunes, which flow like a stock market index going up and down. An attractive bit song.

Unnale Unnale (Karthik, Krish, Harini)
The title song of the album. Harris Jayaraj's hard work is evident in the way, the song has come out. All ready to top the audio charts, the song is oozing with energy all through. The thing that appeals to you the most is the splendid orchestration. Harris mastery in mixing and instrumentation is the real attraction of the number. Karthik, Krish and Harini play their part well.

The other plus include the other characters which play their roles perfectly well...A special applause to Kavignar Vaali and Pa.Vijay to add strength to the already strong Music of the film by penning down the songs..

Negative:

Cinematography was the positive and the negative side of the film... The Director could have avoided certain Camera angles which were not at all necessary for the film.. I think the director may have thought that there wasnt enough oomph in the film.. So, he could have avoided exposing both the heroines especially Sadha who never needed glamour in this film at all bcos of her expressions.. Apart from these, the film was as colorful and as youthful as a love story should be..So the conclusion is that the producer has taken a brave step by producing such a film because not all directors have such a bold climax in their story.Jeeva, who has done the double role of directing and handling the camera, has not slipped on both the fronts. In fact, one compliments the other. To a movie on love, his work is filled with love and care.Unnale Unnale, on the whole, is a cool romantic treat for a hot season.

World Cup Fever!! Increasing temperature!! Part II...

In the last post, we saw about the upsets in World Cup 2007 where minnows Bangladesh and Ireland defied all odds to get into the Super 8s. India and Pakistan were in the receiving ends to be knocked out in the 1st round of the World Cup. And Bangladesh continued further to upset the Proteas in the Super 8s. Now lets start with the Important matches and also the Nail-biting finishes.

Date : March 23rd 2007
India Vs SL:

This was not as nail-biting so as to include this into this post. But it was the match that chucked the Men in Blue out of the World Cup when lot was expected from them. Srilanka batted first. India struck early blows through Zaheer and Agarkar removing the dangerous Jayasuriya and the skipper Jayawardene for single digits. But Tharanga held forte on one end.He scored a patient knock of 64 of 90 balls. He along with the young and talented batsman, Chamara Silva put on a partnership of 40 odd runs to take SL to 133-3 when Tharanga was undone by Sachin. This bloke Chamara silva needs a special mention cos he played well in the NZ series ahead of this WC. He played a brilliant innings of 59 of 68 balls. He along with Dilshan put on a partnership of 83 runs which took SL to a modest total of 254-6 not to forget the cameo knocks by Maharoof and Vaas.
Now, India got off to a poor start losing the inform Ganguly for 7 to Vaas. And then, Sehwag joined Uthappa and when the ship was just starting to sail smoothly, Vaas struck again. In walked Sachin Tendulkar.. Waved the bat a couple of balls and was out to a peach of a delivery by the fiery Fernando. India tottering at 44-3. The Wall came into the crease and he along with Sehwag started doing the repair job, when the wily fox, Murali struck by getting the wicket of Virendra Sehwag. After that, Yuvi and Dhoni followed suit and finally India were bowled out of the World cup for 185...The Man of the Match was Murali for his 3-41 of his ten overs.

Date: 24th match 2007
Aus Vs Rsa:

This was the most awaited match in this World Cup, I should say...The Proteas replacing the Aussies to top the ICC rankings just ahead of the World Cup made this match even more interesting and truly it lived up to the expectations. Australia were put in to bat by Graeme Smith and what followed was an absolute mauling of the bowlers by the openers... No one needs to say that Hayden and Gilly are the most dangerous openers in the World.. Their records justify the case for them.. Their top bowlers Pollock and Ntini were battered for boundaries and sixes by the 2 openers.. The run rate soaring at around 8 an over.. Gilly raced on to 42 at a run a ball when Langeveldt struck for the Proteas. Hayden, in the meantime was dealing in boundaries.. In walked the captain, Ricky Ponting and without wasting any time at the crease started attacking the opposition.. The partnership moved on and on... And Hayden hit the fastest century in WC history by scoring 101 of 68 balls.. Kallis got the wicket of Hayden but by that time, the score had already reached 167 of 23 overs with the runrate kicking at over 7 per over.. Clarke joined force with Ponting and together they began to milk the wary South African attack.. It was a toothless display of bowling by the top ranked team in the World... They built on a massive 161 run partnership at over a run a ball and Ponting finally got out for 91 at a run a ball with the score on 328 in 45 overs...Meanwhile, Clarke was looking set to hit his maiden century in the World Cups...But eventually, he was run out for 92 of 75 balls... Australia finished at a mammoth score of 377-6 in the allotted 50 overs...
South Africa had a mountain ahead to climb on...And they needed a flying start in order to scale this mountain.. That was what happened...De Villiers got the Proteas off to a flying start.. And, he along with Smith got the Proteas on course to victory..The Proteas were on 160 of 21 overs when De Villiers was run out by a superb direct throw from deep square leg by Shane Watson... Thts were the Aussies stood out...In walked Kallis and he began to consolidate the innings...Meanwhile, Smith began to suffer from cramps and he went off... Gibbs came in and hit a 6 and a 4 but Hogg got him stumped... After that, the South African innings fell like nine pins and eventually, Proteas were all out for 295... So, the Aussies got sweet revenge for the 434 run chase as well as the loss of the top rank to them... Hayden won the man of the match award for his swashbuckling century...

Super 8's:

Moving on to the Super 8's, we could expect the closest matches between these strong teams leave alone Bangladesh and Ireland... The 1st super 8 match is not worth mentioning because the World Champions swept past the Windies by 103 runs.. But the 2nd match fulfilled the expectations of a nail-biting encounter..

Date:28th march 2007
Rsa Vs SL:

SL batted first.. Ntini and Langeveldt struck early blows to remove the dangerous Jayasuriya and the skipper Jayawardene... And suddenly the score was tottering on 98-5.. But Dilshan and Arnold rescued the Lankans and consolidated the attack to move the score on to 195 when Dilshan got out... After that Langeveldt struck lethal blows to restrict the Lankans to a modest 209...Langeveldt took 5-39...
When the innings started, South Africa lost De Villiers for a duck... But Kallis came in and joined Smith to lead the run chase... They both put on a 94 run partnership b4 Smith fell after scoring a fine half century...Then, Kallis and Gibbs put on another 65 run partnership... With the score at 160-2, Murali snared Gibbs and immediately got Boucher for a duck... 160-4 now...But with Kallis at the crease, the Proteas looked set for an easy win since they needed just 50 runs with 6 wickets in hand...The score moved on to 206-5 with Kemp,being the only other batsman out... Kallis was still there and Rsa needed just 4 runs to win..Jayawardene tossed the ball to Malinga who is known for his slinging action...He yorked Shaun Pollock and then immediately took the wicket of Andrew Hall, the next ball with a slower one... The end of the over and the next over bowled by Vaas costed just 1 run... Score at 207-7... 3 runs needed for victory and Malinga on a hattrick...Malinga bowled a quicker one on the off stump and Kallis just nicked the ball to the Wicket keeper to give the hattrick to Malinga... He became the 2nd Srilankan to take a hattrick in WC history...Ntini walked in...But was eventually yorked 1st ball by Malinga... 207-9 from 206-5... What was happening??? Were Proteas conducting a hara-kiri??? Malinga walked in to bowl the next ball.. Would it be an unlikely win for SL or would Rsa scrape through... In ran Malinga like a steam engine....Bowled the ball outside off stump and Peterson slashed the ball towards the point boundary to seal the victory for the Proteas!! But, SL fought till the end and needed to be applauded!!!The Man of the Match award was shared by Malinga and Charl Langeveldt..

Date: 4th April 2007
SL Vs NZ


This was another nail-biting encounter with SL getting lucky this time... Srilanka got to a decent start but lost Jayasuriya and Sangakkara in quick intervals...Tharanga and the captain Jayawardene joined hands together to build a 91 run partnership before Tharanga got out for 62... The last few wickets added some valuable runs and eventually Srilanka were all out for 235... Jayawardene scored 56 of 61 balls... Sajid Mahmood took 4 wickets and Andrew Flintoff took 3 wickets to restrict SL to 235...

England got off to a poor start with Vaas and Malinga removing the openers early.. The score at 11-2... But Bell and Pieterson carved out a patient 90 run partnership before Ian Bell was run out... Then Pieterson, Collingwood and Andrew Flintoff fell in quick succession with the score on 133-6...The young Ravinder Bopara joined Paul Nixon and they both put on a quickfire partnership... Paul Nixon fell for 42 runs with the score on 220...With 16 runs needed of the final over, Fernando was called to bowl the last over... Bopara hit 2 boundaries and with the score on 233-8 with 3 more runs needed of the last ball of the match he was bowled by Fernando... What a Finish!!! But this time Srilanka was lucky enough to win the match...

So, these were some of the nail-biting finishes and the important matches held so far in this World Cup... Hope you all enjoyed the review...See you in the next post!!! Until then...Keep commenting!!!


Yours cricketically,
