Assault on the eardrums…

Why do I no longer get goose-flesh when I am hearing to the songs of the current generation movies? Let’s say you just heard songs from a newly released movie. What is the probability that you will be wanting to hear the same album (or at least 50% of the total songs) after a month? Am I too harsh? OK lets say two months. And Oh yes I almost forgot to mention. Be meticulous and bother to correct your answer up to three decimal places to make it appear as big as possible. The odds in favour of taking a stroll on the moon are more than listening to those songs…aargh!!

Crass is what I can say. Where have all the musicians gone? Except for ARR and S-E-L. Who has given them the rights to assault our eardrums? Where are the likes of maestro Illayaraja and Burman? I feel saddened at the plight of the Gen X songs. These songs are nothing but cacophonous, reverberating in your ears, resonating with not one but zillion frequencies making it everything but music. A pure aberration. Let’s not even go near to the movie content.

And the consequences..you abandon your MP3 player or flush out the memory more often, thanks to the flash memory. Blessed is me living in the age of zeros and ones else I would have been double assaulted with tapes.

Ditch the drums for tabla. Replace the electric guitar with sitar. Has the flute become extinct along with dinosaurs? If this is the music custom made for the Gen X, sorry I want the legends to get back to their work. Let the Phoenix rise from the ashes…

I feel flustered and flushed.

RF lifts RG!!

Of late this space has been deserted;reasons being nothing 'blog-writeup' happening in yours truly daily life. Even if something creeps out of blue I kept myself saying "Dude wheres the time to think let alone to write!" Yeah the age old excuse. I am glad I am busy. OK that is all about myself. Now lets rant about The Emperor.

Gosh...You would have been in Mars if you haven't seen the above picture. How special was it and will it be..I am in a state beyond Euphoria. The much awaited Roland Garros and the 14th slam getting at the same time and more importantly expanding the 'coveted league' to SIX.

It was the least interesting finals I have even seen with Fed butchering Soderling. Can't blame him. Fed was too hungry (for the trophy) to be tamed. It would have been a eye treat to see Fed taming Rafa at the Garros. I love to watch the scenes of Federer burying his face in his palm. I smell victory in his tears.

And coming to the question where you see in almost all the dailies these days " Is Roger the greatest tennis player ever?" Comparing eras would be the most foolish thing. Rod, Sampras, Becker, Bjorn,Sampras were all greats in their own eras. I haven't had chance to witness their games. But to me, in this era Federer in THE Emperor. He redefined tennis with his amazing fitness and breathtaking game. I will be surprised if Rafa wouldn't be the 7th player after Federer in a year or two, if not this year. All he requires is one damn US open.

Kudos Roger...
