Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.<br /><br><br />(Posted on Nintendo DS running [url=http://cid-2602f0e287041cef.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2602F0E287041CEF!106.entry]r4i ds[/url] DS OperaMod)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515743025896718503.post-50245056006745849402009-09-07T03:39:24.598-07:002009-09-07T03:39:24.598-07:00The photograph of Mahesh looking the same (boyish,...The photograph of Mahesh looking the same (boyish, smilling,) as I remember him in the late sixties. Standing outside Music Academy waiting for the school bus. May his soul rest in peace.<br /><br />My wife had been dreading the 'C' word to such an extent that even a casual reference to it was enough to upset her. There is a famous dialogue in the movie Anand "Lymphociroma of the intestines...". She could never sit through that sequence.<br /><br />About an year back the same movie was on TV and we watched the scene and dialogue with bated breath. We were expecting her biopsy report around that time.<br />It was positive and she had to undergo two surgeries, chemo and radiation. Thankfully she is allright and progressing well.vinay kumar (BM '80)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515743025896718503.post-88394599309610984562009-08-16T02:34:38.321-07:002009-08-16T02:34:38.321-07:00Nice meeting you at the Tag Centre this morning. ...Nice meeting you at the Tag Centre this morning. came home visited your blog and read about Mahesh. He and I learnt sitar together and his charming smile and nimble fingers flying across the frets was melody to the ear and treat to the eyes. Before the ustad used to arrive to take classes he used to play little pieces composed by himself. He loved movie background scores and i used to share my collection scores from Dr.Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia and Benhur and Ennio Morricone scores etc. We also discussed the scores. He always had a wish to publish his background score for "Kuruthi punal"<br />T.S.

It is so nice to see your childhood...Mr.Mohan Ram,<br /><br />It is so nice to see your childhood with Mr.Mahesh, one of my favorite MD's. It was such an irony that he had to compose music for "Nammavar", which incidentally had Kamal as a cancer patient. Having said that, he is a great musician. I love his song "Poonguyil paadinaal". He was extremely unique in one way where he composed a song without any musical instruments. Thanks to the wonderful chorus work and of course Kamal's mimicry and singing stuff,"Edhileyum vallavan da" and who can forget the other "Sorgam enbadhu namakku" in the same film!!! MAY GOD rest his soul always in peace.<br /><br />Sincere Regards,<br /><br />ASHOK RAMAMOORTHYAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958003938505637467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5515743025896718503.post-47648470885478840982009-07-29T10:40:22.610-07:002009-07-29T10:40:22.610-07:00Wonderful!

Usually, am very much aware of Music Director’s name and was wondering how I missed this name in the industry (probably due to not many films he worked on). Hence, did a Google search!! The search results gave me a sweet surprise –I’d been a craze of “Nammavar” movie songs especially the “Udaiyodu Pirakkavillai” song but never knew the name of the composer till I read this entry and proceed to do my search! It is an amazing song and more than happy to know finally I discovered who the composer was, that too through a friend of HIM! Sad to hear that he is no more, though.<br /><br />The Bucket List – What a coincidence! It’s more than 3 weeks now I’ve placed my request to the library for this DVD and still it is not back from loan. Now, that you have said so much about the movie, I’m losing my patience to wait any longer. Hope to watch it soon!<br /><br />Keep posting!<br /><br />Cheers<br />ShaamsShamalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059702618799040461noreply@blogger.com
