Maya: June 2005
http://thekingofdreamers.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 23, 2005. What can you say about a filmmaker who has the sheer audacity to make a 28 crore movie to tell you, his audience, that every little rule you have broken, every little harmless transgression of yours and even the slightest non-conformance which. Think is insignificant has all together contributed to the pathetic, backward state your country is in today? What can you say about him, when even after telling you all that, he makes you leave the theatre fully, wholesomely entertained?

Sunday, March 13, 2005. Kadhal- Kalaindha kanavugal, Kadharum ullangal, Oru kaneer kaviyam. Why do we make fully conscious efforts to subject ourselves to depression, sorrow and tragedy? Why do we seek sadness and grief? Why do we of our own accord, watch movies like. Sethu,Devdas, Moondram Pirai. And end up liking them? What is it about pathos that draws us to it? Is about love, the enduring theme of all arts which lends itself to infinite perspectives and interpretations. Are masterpieces. The back...

Monday, December 05, 2005. Love, Sex and The Maniratnam Code*. Now that I have made such a seemingly outrageous observation, let me back it with irrefutable evidence. Mottuththaan mellaththaan pooppoal pookka;. Thottuppaar kattippaar dhaegam vaerkka;. Poojaikkaaga vaadudhu, dhaegam unnaith thaedudhu ;". The bud blossoms ever so slowly into a flower;. Touch it, Embrace it, Let your body sweat it;. The flower withers yearning to be accepted, the body seeks thee;). As the red lips joined, the souls shivered;.

Friday, May 27, 2005. Theories, postulates, fundas and what not! The two ship theory. In a moment of inspiration after reading. The Life of Pi. Now, don’t ask me what would happen if the calamity is so damn disastrous that it should affect both ships. The ‘shaking the foundations of atheism’ postulate. You are kidding me right? How can you love me? Euphemistic do it intended! Who is the greater fool, me who wrote this blog, or you who patiently read it so far? Posted by Dreamer at 12:04 PM.

Thursday, April 28, 2005. Allah Rakha Rahman- This man never ceases to amaze me, the sheer musical genius he is. Just as I was recovering from an auditory overdose of. Yeh Jo Des hai Tera. He comes up with an absolute stunner of an album-. Bose- The forgotten hero. The pick of the album is obviously. Sung by the man himself. When it beguns with a. And more recently,. Yeh Jo Des Tera. He comes up with mind blowing masterpieces. But in. If there is anything else that inspires Rahman as much as Maniratnam a...

Thursday, July 28, 2005. Mangal Pandey- Signs of saturation, yet a sign off in style. ARRahman has had it with period films. I heard on one of the news channels that he has decided to stop working on them. So self-admittedly Mangal Pandey. Is going to be his last period film for quite some time and if this is the kind of work he does when he has had enough, then he should have enough more often! I am really and totally hooked. Obviously, the centerpiece of the album is Mangal Mangal. I have been bitten b...

Sunday, November 27, 2005. The great Indian dream? Is not in merely polishing the shoes but in making the shoes ourselves. Speaking about shoes, its time to trade in my black ones for a pair of hep sneakers, its time for a wardrobe rebirth. Posted by Dreamer at 2:29 AM. View my complete profile. Its a tough business. Small budgets Big Returns. Pulling off the inside job. The business of doing good. Global content, Indian style. Good relationships, good business. The lure of lucre. Blogs that I read.

Sunday, February 20, 2005. State of fear is a highly intellectual read, encompassing diverse areas such as statistics, science, weather and climate patterns, geological phenomenon and very interestingly psychology which is what the book title is about. There is a very interesting and mind boggling postulation of how human beings are compulsively made to live in a constant state of fear of something or the other. Posted by Dreamer at 12:31 PM. Tuesday, February 08, 2005. Speaking of codes and ciphers.

Saturday, January 29, 2005. Yeh Jo Des Hai Mera. Have you ever taken a full blown punch in your gut? Do you know what it feels like? Ashutosh Gowrikar makes a powerful impact with Swades. This is not a review of Swades, because, for once, I feel words will not suffice in doing justice to the experience of watching this movie. A realistic screenplay, brilliant portrayals by the cast and magical music make this movie a classic. Some of the things in the movie that affected me:. Ye Jo des Hai Tera:. AR Rahm...
