  • Raghu Dixit – Music Review

    Got my Raghu Dixit CDs on Friday and have been listening to them ever since. Here is quick and dirty review. Overall, as a friend said, “They seem to be influenced a lot by Indian Ocean & Euphoria.”

    1. Hey Bhagwan – Nice song. Already had it and love it.
    2. Mysore se aayi – Feet tapping and fast paced song. Again I already had it and love it.
    3. Gudgudiya Sedi Nodo – The best song of the CD!! The song is fast and the lyrics very nice 🙂
    4. Ambar – I had first heard this song in Delhi, and the song has grown on me since.
    5. Khidki – Not that great musically, but nice lyrics.
    6. No man will ever love you like I do – Brilliant lyrics!
    7. I am in Mumbai – Brilliant song – last heard it in Pilani.
    8. Soruthudu Maniya Maligi – Slight blues effect on the song. Nice feel to it. Again, like Gudugudiya, attributed to Shishunala Sharif.

    All in all, a very nice debut album. And a def must get considering it costs you only 180 bucks (including shipping).

    However, I expected Har Saans Mein to be on the CD, and also it to focus slightly on other group members. I know Raghu is the man behind the band but they do deserve some space on the CD.

    PS: Read the comment by Gaurav Vaz, bassist RDP, on the focus bit above in the comments section below. Also, check out his photoblog for some pretty cool snaps.

  • Goodbye Gilly..

    …thou shalt be missed.

    Of the current crop of Aussies, Gilly and Lee are the only two I like and while I rejoiced today for India, a part of me was sad that this brilliant cricketer shall not play again. To me he remains the best all-rounder I have ever seen. I still remember the Mumbai test where he and Hayden clobbered the Indian attack mercilessly, to take it away from India’s grip after India was totally in command.

    Goodbye Mate. You were one of the best that ever wielded the willow!

  • Jim Corbett – here I come

    We (our IP group) are off tonight to the foothills in Uttaranchal to the Jim Corbett National Park for a weekend full of fun and uncontrolled fun!

    More on the trip once I return. Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

  • QOTD

    Comes from TED 2008.

    The Tibetan monks told us: “we don’t really believe that you went to the Moon, but you did; you don’t believe that we can achieve enlightenment in a single life, but we do.”

    TED is a conference which gets together some of the most brilliant minds of the world. Someday, when I have the money or am as important, I will attend one of these TED conferences.
