Snippets II

- Peeps returned back home from a visit to Sister at Bombay yesterday and it was a total fiasco at home in the cooking area. Very few visits to the Kitchen, coupled with No Milk and Coffee in the morning made it a bit wierd for both my Brother and Me

- Some Mokkais:
At Accounts class in College- Complete Optimisers comp went into Liquidation, Rapecase quips in: So much for their Optimism crap!

At Rapecase's place- I'm drenched to the Bone and dripping wet and Rapecase's mom says "Paathu po pa, nenanjida pore" (Careful, you might get wet), that kept Golti J and me laughing for the rest of our Marathon 1 1/2 hour journey from Besant Nagar to Mahalingapuram.

- Thanks to a Compressing Software that I found, I've been able to squeeze in more songs than before into my mp3 player.

- English Class at IMS, done with the assignment and I am waiting for the rest of them to complete, I start looking at the tube-lights there and count the steel reflectors placed there. There's one right above me and I had to tilt my head back a bit to continue counting and suddenly there's this tap on my head from the girl sitting behind me. Didn't wna risk turning back and looking at her, wasn't sure if it was a jest for jolly tap or an irritating tap!

- Got a Question which included "Something" and "I need you". Soon as I read that, my head started to play Something, couldn't continue with the work and had to let it complete till the last guitar riff, was fun.

Discovery!

Nothing Scientific.

Orey naal unai naan, nilaavil paarthadu...

No idea which movie it is, but a brilliantly melodious song, by Ilaiyaraja of course. It's beats are the same as in Being For The Benefit Of Mr.Kite by The Beatles.

I'm dead sure of this because the song by The Beatles was on their best album, Sgt.Pepper's which was released way back in 1967!!

Its only Love!

Its Only Love!

I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?

It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you

Is it right that you and I should fight
Every night?
Just the sight of you makes night time bright
Very bright
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?

It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you, loving you


Artists: The Beatles
Album: Help!
Year : 1965

Happy Birthday to John Lennon.

Yeah, today (Oct 9th) is John Lennon's birthday. The Greatest Musician ever. Better than Paul Mccartney i should say. Mccartney's voice is brilliant, but John is the leader, unclaimed, but he sure is. And what better timing, I found this video on youtube this morning.

This is the Promotional Video The Beatles had made for their Help! movie. This video shows Lennon, Mccartney and Harrison strumming their guitars and Starr holding an Umbrella looking bored most of the time. The song's awesome as usual, but this video stands out. The chemistry between the 4 of them is brilliant. Simply amazing. Lennon sitting in the front playing the guitar and singing, behind him is Mccartney followed by Harrison and Starr. Most of the time, the video shows the front, hence showing just Lennon and its amazingly hilarious to watch the rest of them trying to get into picture. Mccartney and Harrison often stretching their necks, looking from Lennon's shoulder. Funny to watch Starr not even bothering to try. But the last minute is hilarious.

Confetti falls and judging by the reactions, I don't think any of them knew it was going to. Starr is obviously bored and starts moving the umbrella when the confetti falls and it takes everybody by surprise. Lovely watching their reactions, with Harrison missing a line, mccartney swallowing some.

Another fun thing is the bouncing, Lennon obviously not interested, Mccartney kinda forcing Harrison to go along. You have to see it.

Anyways, Happy Birthday John Lennon.
*Toast*

Yay! & What the...

1st June 1967, the release date of one of THE most successful and inspirational albums of all times. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, the 8th album by The Beatles, was extremely revolutionary and inspiring for lots of artists and bands who followed. The Album consists of 13 outstanding and memorable songs. This album is said to be The Beatles' Magnum Opus. This album turned 40 yesterday and I celebrated it. :D . Off late The Beatles' songs have been running in my mind. Some ppl mock at me for listening to songs that old. What nonsense I say, the age doesn't matter at all, its the quality. Imagine, a song composed and released forty years ago is still fresh in the minds of loadza ppl all over the world. What more do the composers need?

I cried sometime during Forrest Gump. When Tom Hanks says that he had an interview along with John Lennon, and how John was later shot. I really cried.

Another revolution is this Jack Kevorkian guy. All he does is help sick people who are literally on their death beds. Well, he wouldn't be half as famous as he is right now if he wasn't doing the quirky version of that deed. He helps them alright, but he doesn't help them have a decent and content death, he helps them die. It's an extended version of Euthanasia. He doesn't kill them. He straps them on to a device that he has invented and allows the patient to inject themselves with killer poisons or breathe poisonous gases. He doesn't do anything other than strap them on to the device. The Patients, before actually injecting themselves speak about how they've suffered in life and how this Kevorkian guy is helping them do the right thing.

If you ask me, he's innocent. But the thing that put him in Jail in unforgivable. He injected the poison this time for some Youzuk guy and killed him. Stupid guy further went on to video tape all this and even challenged the authorities to "Stop" him if they can. Stop him they did. He was sentenced to close to 20yrs of Prison, but he was just released from Jail under Parole since he himself had contracted Hepatitis C and was gna die in a year. The Oath? " I Won't help anyone die"....

Whattey freaky world???!!!
