Nothing to Write

Friends, I hope you are doing fine. Really I did not get anything to write. I thought not writing anything is also can be a blog to buy sometime to get an idea.:)

Well, my birthday was on March 2nd and we are going to celebrate that this weekend with friends and few families at our home. Other than that no special updates. Take care and I will come back with a bang after sometime.

Inspired!!!

As you know everytime India gives the nation's well recognized awards like Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padmasri etc. Well, keeping the controversies apart I really felt that this time the awards were given to most appropriate people.

And they are really inspiration to our generation. I am primarily happy that SP Balu(one of the eminent singers in India) got Padma Bhushan. He is my inspiration to get into singing. Well deserved person to concur the award.

Also Akkineni Nageswara Rao got Padma Vibhushan(first telugu film actor to get). More than his acting, I would say his life is more inspirational. The discipline he had(i would rather love to say say "he has") and the focus he had towards his career was extra-ordinary.

Also, I am reading news these days about people demanding to award Bharat Ratna for Sachin Tendulkar. I dont think its required for him. Dont get me wrong:). I am saying there is no need to demand, it should/will come by itself to him. No doubt that he is deserved being for that. But it will not be glorious to get it by request or demand.

Thanks to Government of India for this inspirational awards. May many of these awards come to well deserved people and elevate the India's pride.

New York Trip

Hello all,

As planned, I have completed my trip to New York along with my wife. It was different and interesting this time. As usual city is more beautiful that too in Chrismas/New Year's time. We have visited all standard places like New York city, Washington DC, Pittsburg etc.

However something different is that we went to Empire State Building observatory to have glimpse of the city skyscrapers. No words to explain, but just WOW.

Spent sometime meeting friends and relatives which was relaxing. Also had a family get together for new year night playing games etc.

A nice break from work with this trip. Finally had to come back to work and should sit tight for more period this time as there is no holiday season soon. Till then have a good working time guys. Some pics below as usual to get inspired.

Friends, I hope you are all doing fine. Well finally I am visiting New York city nearly after more than 2 years. I am very much excited to visit the city that too in Christmas/New Year time. I feel the city will be like a newly wed bride in this time, so beautiful and cute.

Well this time I am taking my wife to the east coast first time and personally my visit to there will be Nth time.:).

I will post more details after coming back from my trip. Till then take care. Happy Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Bahamas - Miami Trip

All,


Recently I went on for a vacation to the bahamas and Miami. Believe me, they are wonderful places on the planet earth and must visits if possible. The weather was perfect, and the travel was great as I took a cruise to Bahamas.


Overall its a nice and relaxed vacation for me, as opposed to my usual trips where I will be in driving seat most of the time. Miami beach is one of the best beaches to visit with blue waters and white sand. Same with beaches in Nassau(capital of Bahamas) as well.

Posting some photos below for you to get inspired and motivated.:)

More performances

Hi, I am glad to say that I had couple of more chances to perform songs. One is in a program organized by local telugu association on the name of a great singer Ghantasala. Other one is a hindustani classical performance organized by Kalanjali. My music class is also going on well. Only thing is that I am not getting more time for practise. So these performances help to keep me on tune and track.
Nothing more to say as there are no major happenings from my side. I hope you are all doing fine.

Movie Reviews

ENDHIRAN(Tamil)


Well, finally I get to see the most awaited picture of the year(should I say decade?). ENDHIRAN. This is my first tamil film I watched straight in a theater. I always loved Shankar who delivers the movies with picture perfect quality. Endhiran is another feather in his cap, however I felt he changed his movie making style with this movie. Moreover, being Rajinikanth as hero Shankar had no limits on the budget and could deliver an awesome entertainer.
However any movie will have likes and dislikes and below are those in my perspective. This is purely my opinion.

Likes

1. Standards are extra-ordinary. Felt like I am seeing an hollywood movie DOT
2. Everyone says that Rajini is a stylish actor, but he is a good artist as well.Liked the ROBO character
3. No over hyped emotions

Dislikes

1. I wish the first song was shot completely with full rhythm. My favourite song
2. Shankar is known to elevate the movie in the first half to the peak. I did not see that in this. He dealt it pretty normal

Anyway, this is a must watch movie to appreciate the advanced technology Indian movies are running towards.

Another interesting rumour is that Chiru-Aishwarya Rai-Shankar combo is going to grace the silver screen. I wish this dream combination works out soon. :)



KHALEJA(Telugu)

Well, this movie also had more hype because of the reason that Mahesh is coming up on screen after 3 years of gap. Cant say anything but this is like a normal story. But Mahesh did a different role with more sense of humor. Most of the time he was able to generate the genuine timing comedy. As usual he looks awesome. But it did not have the complete punch of Trivikram. You cannot compare with Athadu which was picture perfect.

I wish the director concentrated on story line more rather than standard masala elements. Songs are just OK. Fights are typical Trivikram type but need to change eventually for upcoming movies.

I would say that the movie is one time watchable if you go without expectations.
