Light at the end of the tunnel

I dont care about the captions listed in the pictures below and other pictures it came along with in a FWD. But I found this particular picture to be impressive. Photoshop or whatever it is, it in itself is a darn interesting, meaningful pic. Light at the end of the tunnel.. now, that makes me think.. what if somebody actually takes a pic from inside a god forbidden tunnel that discovers the bright exit of the tunnel.

Whatever it is, the future is pretty bright out there.

New 'Bourne 3' Trailer Hits Web

If its May 4th the world is waiting for the spidey to strike on, I shall wait for the damon to hit on Aug 3rd.

" Joan Allen is still tough and cool as Pamela Landy: "Trying to kill him [Bourne] and failing -- just pisses him off." Damon is still beating down whoever comes across his path, with wildly driving cars or sailing through the air as he jumps from one building to the next.

The Bourne Ultimatum trailer is out. Hope I see a comparable soundtrack to the Identity. That still has a resounding effect.

Traditional Music of the South

I listen to heavy metal and can even bang my head against the hardest rock ;) but in the end, carnatic music or rather the traditional music is what really enlightens the mood.

On a weekend like now when work is inevitable at my office, I started looking at raaga (penniless option of desis) for some soothing music. Beat the hell out of Gangster for the past one month and so turned to Telugu music where I found this guy's name - KM Radhakrishnan. No wonder my guess was right that the music of his album godavari wud be a delight to my ears. The guy who played the tunes to the masterpiece Anand an year ago did it again with Godavari.

Uppongole Godavari song's tune sounded familiar but listening to saassa paapa saapa ssaama... (never mind :)) the song sung by the evergreen SPB was nevertheless a great feast. Brought to my mind this thought if there is any research into how to find the effectiveness of using music as a sympathetic medium for living beings?


Looking forward to a musical end to this weekend after cricket in the evening.
