Pinnacle of Instrumentation -Thiruda Thiruda (A treat to your ears)

Image
2016 in a interview with film critic Rajeev Masand, composer Amit Trivedi made a surprising admission about the film score that truly inspired him. "One of my friends introduced me to the album and I was awestruck by the kind of music my ears were listening to", he said, "That sound still inspires me, it makes me think how the hell can one think like this. It's fresh and still gives one the feeling of not having heard something like this before." The album  which made Amit trivedi go gaga was  Thiruda Thiruda (1993)   Directed by Mani Ratnam and composed by none other than our AR Rahman. Hmmmm.... I had heard it multiple times... It was good. But why did Trivedi go gaga over it? I gradually picked my favorite Bluetooth earphones. Opened spotify , My faint memory had failed me. Damn the songs were so good. I had played those songs in LDAC codec (its just a high quality audio codec). Damn , I literally cried listening to the instrumentation. A  Rece...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqJtGuxHwPQ Ever had the feeling that you have no friends?? Or no one to bear your pain. Or no one gets what you are going through???? It is all part of Human life. Don't believe me ? நா.à®®ுத்துகுà®®ாà®°் tries to explain this in a song . If you haven't heard it once in your life, STOP whatever you are doing and go click the above link. Then , comeback here. Almost everyone knows that I am a sucker for yuvan's music and Na Muthukumar's lyrics(Well, who isn't??). This is a tribute for my love towards the lyrics of Na Muthukumar. It is my go to song that I listen to when I am depressed. The song deals with many  emotions on the whole, I would like to segregate it into 8 based on my knowledge on emotions. உண்à®®ை ஓய்வின்à®®ை வலியோடு வாà®´்வது தனிà®®ை உணர்தல் கடவுளின் à®®ுடிவு துà®°ோகம் தீà®°்வு 1.

Why posting statuses about depression doesn't help!

According to the most recent estimates from the National Institute of Mental Health, just over 7%  of all U.S. adults experienced an episode of major clinical depression in 2017. This is for a country which concentrates on mental health. There is no proper data for mental health in India. Would like to start the article by understanding what depression is... Situational depression or clinical depression??????? What is Situational Depression? This is a short-term form of depression that occurs as the result of a traumatic event or change in a person's life. It Usually last's a week or so. Triggers can include: Divorce Loss of a job The death of a close friend A serious accident Other major life changes So, What is Clinical Depression?

I'm not Rich ,but I'm not poor! I'm not perfect, but I'm not imperfect! I'm not beautiful ,but I'm not ugly! I'm not an extrovert , but I'm not an introvert!, I'm not happy , but I'm not sad!. I'm just a perfect amount of broken mess. -Pranavh Devidasan.

The Beautiful Scar.

She was beautiful. She helped a struggling soul , not because she was beautiful. She saved a dying plant , not because she was beautiful. She wanted self respect , not because she was beautiful. She got angry when people ignored her brilliance , not because she was beautiful. She withheld her emotions , not because she was beautiful. She wanted to be respected not because she was beautiful. She withstood hell , not because she was beautiful. She had many scars , because she was beautiful. -Pranavh Devidasan.......

Pranavh Tries to review - Darbar....

Regular mumbo jumbo... Rajni film,  written by a biased die hard Rajni  fan... Your opinion might differ from mine. This was a Rajni celebration day.. My ratings will be as follows(from low to high): Unbearable Bearable Average Above average Good Excellent! If i have to jump into the review!! Murugadoss has done some work on the script.  Some scenes sound good on paper. But fails on screen. Somewhere in the middle of the movie i felt murgadoss wanted to make Thuppaki based thriller, But something kept pulling him down. Some scenes where he takes prisoners help to track the villain. There are some logical mistakes , scenes which could make you to think. if this could have happened in unicorn land with fluffy rainbow clouds.. All the villains speak in tamil without lip sync.. Commissioner ADITYA ARUNACHALAM is appointed as to wipe out drugs in mumbai. Thalaivar comes in with Hatori hanzo sword(Yes, Tarantino fans i am looking at yo...
