Two extreme themes and Yet...

I am still going on with my employment search. To escape (more of adding spice to) from the daily routine of applying to open positions and reading and updating my knowledge, I have started to listen to random songs on Youtube. I just wanted to share 2 such songs I stumbled on and when ever I hear them, I feel as if I can see me singing them (Okay, I am kidding). We all have those songs or those films to which we can relate to. We will feel as if the song or story is about us, our life. That is what I felt with these two.



First song is 'Cant be tamed' by Miley Cyrus. I have seen Hannah Montana and hence know all the lime light Miley carries around. I never thought that Miley will come out with a strong song as all her songs used to soft and mostly melodies. But this just blew me off. Especially the words. At this time when some people want me to change track from my passion of Networks, I wanted to scream at them to stop judging my abilities. And this song said just that. Singing along to it lets me to let go of my build up steam and Miley, THANKS!! Many people are saying that this is a copy of Lindsay Lohan's work, Rumors. I have heard and seen Rumor and there is nothing similar about them. True that both say what other people are trying to do to the lead role. Yet they both are as different as the land and sky.

The next song is by Miley as well, named 'The Climb'


A song telling me to push and try and try and try even harder till I get to the top. After some months of employment search, I recently had to accept the fact that the candidates can be rejected just because the interviewer is not an expert in position requirements. Though I felt angry and sad, I pulled myself through it. This song, tells it perfectly. This song may not be the perfect song for the situation. But I stumbled on this by chance and instantly connected to the lyrics.

These two songs are two extreme emotions yet it feels as if they are the exact mixture of emotions I am feeling. And I know that there are people out there who hate Miley. Well, one cannot always be a kid with Disney. She grew up and you just have to accept it. As for the parents who are saying that Miley is a role model for your kids, please!! You have to bring up your kids yourself. Dont hate on my blog. Go somewhere else!

2 things that stole my heart recently..

I love music.. But I am more of a bathroom singer and stick to listening to them when in public.. And I try to hear as many new songs as possible (from different languages, cultures & countries) so that I can experience all the emotions and feelings connected to music.. Guess I am going overboard (overbored??). But I heard 2 short songs in Tamil with 2 different extreme emotions and they simply blew me off..

I fell in love with VTV songs as I always feel something beyond my usual emotions when I listen to them. ARR's music in VTV made me feel the love as I have not experienced it, with his music and bgm (not that his other compositions are bad). VTV holds a special place.. But then I heard these 2, and I have added these to the VTV list..

1. Paarvai vali sumanthal, mounam athai purinthidume
    Nenjam munu munuthaal, nesam athai unarnthidume
    Naanaa naanthaana- Maarinen, Vaasal odinen
    Maanam paaraamal- Suriayn engum thedinen
    Megam theeyai pozhinthidum nerame
    Manam vidiyal inithida..
    Kannil thookkam ponathe, Yeno.. Yeno..
    Acham thoondil poduthe, Yeno.. Yeno..

Film: Achamundu Achamundu.

2. Yaarum paarkatha medayil - Kaathal saalaiyin oramai
    Naalum naalume odinen - Ellai illaamal..
    Unnai kandathum mayanginen - Nenjam ketkaamal
    Kaathal sollave thayanginen - Yetru kolvaaya??
    Yaarum paarkatha velayil - Kaathal saalaiyin oramai
    Naalum naalume odinen - Ellai illaamal..
    Kaathal nenjile aasaiyaai - Megam thooruthe saaralai
    Sernthu nanayave neeyume - Kooda varuvaayo???
Serial: Kanaa Kaanum Kaalangal: Oru Kalloriyin Kathai.

The first reason I like these both is the fact that they are really short when compared to the songs in Tamil movies or Serials for that matter. Serials usually have loose-thanamaana-ratham-kothuchifying-pazhi- vaangifying stupid songs and when one or two of these refreshing ones come along, they become a hit (remember Kaathalika Neramillai's title song? Ennai thedi kaadhal ennum vaarthai anuppu..).

I have no idea as to whether these 2 songs are hit. But when u see the movie and the serial, these 2 pretty much sum up the way the lead roles feel in such a short span. You just have to hear this song and you can say what is happening in the whole movie without seeing it (atleast the gist ofcourse). I am being redundant, but I seriously envy the people who wrote these. They gonna stay with me forever..

For the sake of non-tamil people, here is the rough translation,

1. My silence can understand the pain concealed in your eyes
    My heart can feel the frantic murmurs of your heart
    Oh, is it me or not? I have changed and have started to run
    Leaving my pride, I am now searching for the silver lining
    It is the time for the cloud to spew fire (metaphor: meaning that the danger is near)
    All I need now is dawn (metaphor: wanting the trouble to end)
    Why have I lost my sleep?
    Why is fear fishing for me?

2. When none is seeing me, in the corner of 'Love' street
     I ran and rand continuously, without a boundry
     I melted when I saw you, with out listening to my heart
     I deliberated expressing my love, Oh, will you accept it?
     When none is seeing me, in the corner of 'Love' street

     I ran and rand continuously, without a boundry
     In my heart filled with love, it is raining affection
     I wanna get drenched in that rain with you, will you come?

I am sorry that I cannot link the songs here as they are not online (in Youtube). I guess it did not get the reach it needed. But still, wonderful compositions..

Wanna Feel Ashamed???


Indian politician and s/o Ms. Sonia Gandhi is Mr. Rahul Gandhi. He was arrested in UP in a so-called staged act and he released a press report saying, "I feel ashamed to call myself an INDIAN after seeing what has happened here in UP".

As a reply to the press release, a daring letter was written by an IIT'an to Rahul Gandhi. I recently happened upon this letter and wanted to do my best to spread it out. Hence I am posting it on my blog. I hope India becomes clean of the money laundering criminals who term themselves as politicians. The letter is as follows..


NITIN GUPTA (RIVALDO)

B. Tech, IIT Bombay

Dear Rahul,

YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL ASHAMED???????

But don't be disappointed, I would give you ample reasons to feel


ashamed... You really want to feel Ashamed..?

* First Ask Pranav Mukherjee, Why isn't he giving the details of the account holders in the Swiss Banks.

* Ask your Mother, Who is impeding the Investigation against

Hasan Ali?

* Ask her, Who got 60% Kickbacks in the 2G Scam ?

* Kalamadi is accused of a Few hundred Crores, Who Pocketed the

Rest in the Common Wealth Games?

* Ask Praful Patel what he did to the Indian Airlines? Why did

Air India let go of the Profitable Routes ?

* Why should the Tax Payer pay for the Air India losses, when

you intend to eventually DIVEST IT ANYWAY!!!

* Also, You People can't run an Airline Properly. How can we

expect you to run the Nation?

* Ask Manmohan Singh. Why/What kept him quiet for so long?

* Are Kalmadi and A Raja are Scapegoats to save Big Names like

Harshad Mehta was in the 1992 Stock Market Scandal ?

* Who let the BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY Accused go Scot Free? (20,000

People died in that Tragedy)

* Who ordered the State Sponsored Massacre of SIKHS in 84?

* Please read more about, How Indira Gandhi pushed the Nation

Under Emergency in 76-77, after the HC declared her election to Lok

Sabha Void!

* WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHT THIS ARREST?

Dear Rahul, to refresh your memory, you were arrested/detained by the

FBI the BOSTON Airport in September 2001.

You were carrying with you $ 1,60,000 in Cash. You couldn't explain why

you were carrying so much Cash.

(Incidentally He was with his Columbian girlfriend Veronique Cartelli,

ALLEGEDLY, the Daughter of Drug Mafia. 9 HOURS he was kept at the

Airport. Later then freed on the intervention of the then Prime Minister

Mr. Vajpayee.. FBI filed an equivalent of an FIR in US and released him.

When FBI was asked to divulge the information, by Right/Freedom to

Information Activists about the reasons Rahul was arrested ...

FBI asked for a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from Rahul Gandhi.

So Subramaniyam Swami wrote a Letter to Rahul Gandhi, " If you have

NOTHING to HIDE, Give us the Permission"

HE NEVER REPLIED!)

Why did that arrest not make Headlines Rahul? You could have gone to the

Media and told, "I am ashamed to call myself an INDIAN?".

Or is it that, you only do like to highlight Symbolic Arrests (like in

UP) and not Actual Arrests (In BOSTON)

Kindly Clarify.....In any case, you want to feel ashamed, Read Along...

YOUR MOTHER'S SO CALLED SACRIFICE OF GIVING UP PRIME MINISTERSHIP in 2004.

According to a Provision in the Citizenship Act, A Foreign National who

becomes a Citizen of India, is bounded by the same restrictions,

which an Indian would face, If he/she were to become a Citizen of Italy.

(Condition based on principle of reciprocity)

Now Since you can't become a PM in Italy, Unless you are born there.

Likewise an Italian Citizen can't become Indian PM,

unless He/She is not born here!

Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Man who Exposed the 2G Scam) sent a letter

to the PRESIDENT OF INDIA bringing the same to his Notice.

PRESIDENT OF INDIA sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi to this effect, 3:30

PM, May 17th, 2004.

Swearing Ceremony was scheduled for 5 PM the same Day. Manmohan Singh

was brought in the Picture at the last moment to Save Face!!

Rest of the SACRIFICE DRAMA which she choreographed was an EYE WASH!!!

In fact Sonia Gandhi had sent, 340 letters, each signed by different MP

to the PRESIDENT KALAM, supporting her candidacy for PM.

One of those letters read, "I Sonia Gandhi, elected Member from Rai

Bareli, hereby propose Sonia Gandhi as Prime Minister."

So SHE was Pretty INTERESTED! Until She came to know the Facts! She

didn't make any Sacrifice, It so happens that SONIA GANDHI

couldn't have become the PM of INDIA that time.

You could be Ashamed about that Dear Rahul!! One Credential Sonia G had,

Even that was a HOAX!

THINK ABOUT YOURSELF.

You go to Harvard on Donation Quota. ( Hindujas Gave HARVARD 11 million

dollars the same year, when Rajiv Gandhi was in Power)

Then you are expelled in 3 Months/ You Dropped out in 3 Months....

(Sadly Manmohan Singh wasn't the Dean of Harvard that time, else

you might have had a chance... Too Bad, there is only one Manmohan

Singh!)

Then Why did you go about lying about being Masters in Economics from

Harvard .. before finally taking it off your Resume upon questioning

by Dr. SUBRAMANIYAM SWAMI (The Gentlemen who exposed the 2G Scam)

At St. Stephens.. You Fail the Hindi Exam. Hindi Exam!!!

And you are representing the Biggest Hindi Speaking State of the

Country?

SONIA GANDHI's EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Sonia G gave a sworn affidavit as a Candidate that She Studied English

at University of Cambridge

According to Cambridge University, there is no such Student EVER! Upon

a Case by Dr. Subramaniyam Swami filed against her, She subsequently

Dropped the CAMBRIDGE CREDENTIAL from her Affidavit.

Sonia Gandhi didn't even pass High School. She is just 5th class Pass!

In this sense, She shares a common Educational Background with her 2G

Partner

In Crime, Karunanidhi.

You Fake your Educational Degree, Your Mother Fakes her Educational

Degree. And then you go out saying, " We want Educated Youth into

Politics!"

WHY LIE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIALS?

Not that Education is a Prerequisite for being a great Leader, but then

you shouldn't have lied about your qualifications!

You could feel a little ashamed about Lying about your Educational

Qualifications. You had your reasons I know, Because in India, WE

RESPECT

EDUCATION!

But who cares about Education, When you are a Youth Icon!!

YOUTH ICON

You traveled in the Local Train for the first time at the Age of 38.

You went to some Villages as a part of Election Campaign. And You won a

Youth Icon!! ... That's why You are my Youth Icon.

For 25 Million People travel by Train Every day. You are the First

Person to win a Youth Icon for boarding a Train.

Thousands of Postmen go to remotest of Villages. None of them have yet

gotten a Youth Icon. You were neither YOUNG Nor ICONIC!

Still You became a Youth Icon beating Iconic and Younger Contenders like

RAHUL DRAVID.

SURNAME

Shakespeare said, What's in a Name?

Little did he knew, It's all in the Name, Especially the Surname!

Speaking of Surname, Sir DO YOU REALLY RESPECT GANDHI, OR IS IT JUST TO

CASH IN ON THE GOODWILL OF MAHATMA?

Because the Name on your Passport is RAUL VINCI. Not RAHUL GANDHI..

May be if you wrote your Surname as Gandhi, you would have experienced,

what Gandhi feels like, LITERALLY ( Pun Intended)

You People don't seem to use Gandhi much, except when you are fighting

Elections. ( There it makes complete sense).

Imagine fighting elections by the Name Raul Vinci...

You use the name GANDHI at will and then say, " Mujhe yeh YUVRAJ shabd

Insulting lagta hai! Kyonki aaj Hindustan mein Democracy hai, aur is

shabd

ka koi matlab nahin hai! YUVRAJ, Itna hi Insulting lagta hai, to lad lo

RAUL VINCI ke Naam se!!! Jin Kisano ke saath photo khinchate ho woh bhi

isliye entertain karte hain ki GANDHI ho.. RAUL VINCI bol ke Jao... Ghar

mein nahin ghusaenge!!!

You could feel ashamed for your Double Standards.

YOUTH INTO POLITICS.

Now You want Youth to Join Politics.

I say First you Join Politics. Because you haven't Joined Politics. You

have Joined a Family Business.

First you Join Politics. Win an Election fighting as RAUL VINCI and Not

Rahul Gandhi, then come and ask the youth and the Educated Brass for

more

involvement in Politics.

Also till then, Please don't give me examples of Sachin Pilot and Milind

Deora and Naveen Jindal as youth who have joined Politics. They are not

Politicians. They Just happen to be Politicians.

Much Like Abhishek Bachchan and other Star Sons are not Actors. They

just happen to be Actors (For Obvious Reasons)

So, We would appreciate if you stop requesting the Youth to Join

Politics till you establish your credentials...

WHY WE CAN'T JOIN POLITICS!

Rahul Baba, Please understand, Your Father had a lot of money in your

Family account ( in Swiss Bank) when he died.

Ordinary Youth has to WORK FOR A LIVING. YOUR FAMILY just needs to

NETWORK FOR A LIVING

If our Father had left thousands of Crores with us, We might consider

doing the same. But we have to Work. Not just for ourselves.

But also for you. So that we can pay 30% of our Income to the Govt.

which can then be channelized to the Swiss Banks and your Personal

Accounts under

some Pseudo Names.

So Rahul, Please don't mind If the Youth doesn't Join Politics.

We are doing our best to fund your Election Campaigns and your Chopper

Trips to the Villages.

Somebody has to Earn the Money that Politicians Feed On.

NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHIs. YOU ARE SO CALLED GANDHIs!!

Air India, KG Gas Division, 2G, CWG, SWISS BANK Account Details... Hasan

Ali, KGB., FBI Arrest..

You want to feel ashamed..?

Feel Ashamed for what the First Family of Politics has been reduced

to... A Money Laundering Enterprise.

NO WONDER YOU ARE NOT GANDHI'S BY BLOOD. GANDHI is an adopted Name. For

Indira didn't marry Mahatma Gandhi's Son.

For even if you had one GENE OF GANDHI JI in your DNA. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE

BEEN PLAGUED BY SUCH 'POVERTY OF AMBITION'

(Ambition of only EARNING MONEY)

You really want to feel Ashamed?

Feel Ashamed for what you ' SO CALLED GANDHI'S' have done to MAHATMA'S

Legacy..

I so wish GANDHI JI had Copyrighted his Name!

Meanwhile, I would request Sonia Gandhi to change her name to $ONIA

GANDHI, and you could replace

the 'R' in RAHUL/RAUL by the New Rupee Symbol!!!

RAUL VINCI : I am ashamed to call myself an Indian.

Even we are ashamed to call you so!

P.S: Popular Media is either bought or blackmailed, controlled to

Manufacture Consent! My Guess is Social Media is still a Democratic

Platform.

(Now they are trying to put legislations to censor that too!!).

Meanwhile, Let's ask these questions, for we deserve some Answers.

YOURS SINCERELY
