Whats hot in Delhi than the temperature there? The metro. If you step in to the metro station you have a feel that you are in London. But it makes you proud to realize that its India. Truely India Shining.
The Station.

The machine.

Was amazed when i read this article about a group of A R Rahman Fans in a blog…
” Around the same time in 2005, fans of renowned music director A. R. Rahman were hard at work organizing a concert in Bangalore. These guys managed everything from promotions and ticket sales to stage construction and crowd control on the day of the concert (October 8, 2005). As part of their effort to gain recognition as the official Rahman fan group, they also decided to present Rahman with a gift a montage, composed of thumbnail images of all his album covers, which formed the contours of his face. Faced with the prospect of buying expensive software, a group of fans (who run a design company called 3xus.com) went on to develop their own software. After many sleepless nights of painstaking coding, they finally got to meet Rahman and present the gift. A few days later, they learned that Rahman liked the gift and planned to display it in his studio in Chennai. This is a story of fan activity that mainstream media completely ignored.
Acknowledging these fans perseverance, technical and marketing savvy, and global network established through online activities, Rahman and his team have decided to collaborate with them to promote and organize concerts in different cities worldwide, evolve new modes of music distribution, and work together to tackle piracy. “
Now take a look at their output…

The song which rules my playlist from last few weeks is Bandeh… An awesome work from Indian Ocean for the movie Black Friday which due to the contraversy surrounding it, did not find its way to the silver screen. Thanx to Puneet who mailed me the lyrics…
arey ruk jaa…arey tham jaa…
arey ruk jaa re bandey
arey tham jaa re bandey
ki kudrat hans padegi ho…
arey neendein hain zakhmi
arey sapney hain bhookhey
ki karvat phat padegi ho…
arey mandir ye chup hain
arey mazjid ye gumsum
ibadat thak padegi ho…
samay ki laal aandhi
kabristan ke raste
arey lathpath chalegi ho…
kisey kaafir kahega
kisey kaayar kahega
teri kab tak chalegi ho…
ye andhi chot teri
kabhi ki suukh jaati
magar ab puck chalegi…
Such a wonderful work. Hope the music lovers in India would appriciate such works than the Nasal Effect or the Surooorz….. and Oooooooooz … !
