Emotional Atyaachar

By

Now with the work I do listening to songs and selecting them to be air played has become quite monotonous.  I have some how developed a deaf ear for songs which keep coming on to my desk.  There are very rare moments I get to open them and EA (Emotional Atyaachaar) from the movie Dev D was one such song.  The brass band of marriage processions which is part of most of our north Indian marriages (most because I did not get married the brass band way) and now a days slipping in our south Indian weddings too.  That sound has an immediate connect to something important to all of us.



The term Atyaachaar means Rape in our modern day to day dialect.  But the thought of it being used in a Bollywood song with such power was unthinkable.  Anurag Kashyap who directs the movie too has shared a fantastic story about this song - http://passionforcinema.com/devd-emosional-atyachar/  The influences he has shared are eye openers too.  The slightest thought of Atyaachaar gives us many imaginations. Its one of the few words in the dictionary which can give you goosebumps at any given time of the day.

I at work and with friends have used EA to the core like with my friend who was cribbing that I did not call when I promised to return the call - I told her bachhe ko maar degi kyaaaa??? EA teri band karr.... To a colleague who was showing who is more stingy - don't EA me all right? just pay the F**** bill....  With a drunk friend.. Next time do not drink please because your EA reaches the next level once you get drunk.... etc etc etc... Uses and abuses of EA is what made me a crazy fan of the term EA..

No one is spared of EA, all of us are going through this shit every darn day.  EA starts at home Mother telling you that you should stop smoking or start eating on time.  Wife's - Should I say anything about this?? Kids - Who demand with a cute face from chocolates to getting married to their own choice, Maids - who want more salary.... Watchman even the street dog who wags his tail when he needs bread.

EA has many faces at offices like the watchman who salutes at the beginning of the month and the parking assistant.  The office assistant who blackmails you for leave because he brings you lunch everyday.  EA is everywhere home, street, office and even in your dreams too.  How many times you do self EA to self pity to go have an extra peg or one for the road drink or even a smoke.

This song after a long time changed my mood from a total listen to everything to listen to only EA.  If you support anti piracy thing and want to drive in the pirates of piracy industry then go buy this CD every song in this movie is an original.  Its now a musical and if you really have a wide range of taste of music I advice you buy yourself this and I promise this is no EA for you to buy it.  Remeber the brass band version is what I am talking about not the rock version.



WATCH OUT FOR THE WORD "WHORE" IN BRASS BAND VERSION AND ALSO "BITCH" IN THE ROCK VERSION ;) 

Buy line- buy it to believe it ;)

TAUBA TERA JALWA... TAUBA TERA PYAAR TERA EMOTIONAL ATYAACHAAR...

I The Revenant!! (I live to tell the tale)

By
I really have no idea what to title this, tryst with destiny, final minutes, death at doorstep, light after darkness, reincarnation, second life, how I cheated death, My Life = 1300 Rs, I The Revenant, Sea rescue... But I am sure why I am writing this, I do not want to forget anything which happened on this day. It was early hours of Sunday, December 18, 2016, day after we had Mahpeede Mahablu show in Baindur.  We wanted to go to the beach till sun rises, come back get ready and leave to Bangalore at any cost before 10 AM after breakfast at 9 AM.  So we slept late, since we were in the same beach till 11 PM.  We went in at around 6.30 AM and tried to get into the sea at point 2 in the image below.  Later we realised that the current here is too much of the Sumana or Baindur river, force of the river was enough to make the sea water less salty.  This is clear sign that the current is super strong.  Looking for a suitable location, we moved to location...

My Article on Kannada Theatre Scene

By
Kannada Theatre Scene Ninth Century AD: King Nrupatunga wrote Kavirajamarga in the matured script of Kannada. It is the first recognised literary work by any author in Kannada history. Being a set of poems it was recited to people at numerous literary gatherings. Hence, we could also categorise it as the first script in Kannada literature. Kannada theatre has seen a huge wave of changes from the times of Jaina Works, Vachana Literature, Dasa Sahitya till today's Modern Kannada. When you go to the new look Ravindra Kalakshetra with improved interiors and exteriors and interact with the Kannada theatre activists, you get the same look and feel, as it was many years back. You still get to see the old scripts, which are, staged every week and meetings/readings going on in the Samsa Open Theatre. However, when you ask them the question of this article "what happened to the new age writers, why are we going back to the age of Shakespeare or of Karnard?" Everyone unanimously a...
