Saadaa Haq... Aithe Rakh........


Here is my opinion about the Rockstar. Before anybody jumps out of his/her seat to comment that who the hell is this person commenting on a movie of this stature, let me share my idea of blogging. Its my blog and I shout here… and more over India is a free country… and when we love our stars so much unconditionally, we have every right to tighten the screws also a bit when we see an evident blunder.
Before starting this review I heard the music a LOT of times and read quite a few other reviews too from Internet and finally was very happy with the scenario cuz couldn’t find any real criticism on at least first two search pages of Google. 
My first impression of the movie from the initial teasers was that it sure is going to be a movie to look out for… cuz the get up… the passion in such a polite and soft-spoken personality like Ranveer was a welcome change. The only movie I hate him doing is 'saanwariyaa'… otherwise he has been a re-incarnation of my icon, the King Khan. I know it is a big thing to say, but the romance one could feel in SRK days was almost gone and found wanting of a personality that could carry the legacy. I mean look at 'Bachna ae Haseeno'… and you can see the SRK of 1990… the charm, the wet eyes… and then look at him in ‘wake up sid’ and ‘ajab prem ki gajab kahani’… and one could see the SRK of ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’… and come ‘raajneeti’ and you realize that we have an SRK in the making. So all in all, a true star is in the making and with this getup in ‘Rockstar’ there was no turning back of my hopes from the movie.
Of late, I’ve been a VERY late bird(I was an early bird in my school days, I used to visit the cassette shop almost daily to check if music of any new movie has come), and so was late to have the great news that in the movie that I was looking forward to had more in-store for me, even before the release. I was blown away to watch the latest teaser featuring the track ‘sadda haq’. I immediately went online to check out who on the earth has come to the Indian music scene to bless the audience here with some powerful music(cuz its been quite some time since we witnessed the Pakistani youth brigade led by Atif), and guess what it was a dream come true to see the GOD himself compose the music for the movie. GREAT. What more can an ‘insane ’ ask for. A R Rahman… yippie… finally we can break the shackles and feel free and fly along with some powerful music.
That’s it. As soon as I search google and serach the music review of the film. The dream is over. All that seemed so perfect for an early winter release was messed up… atleast by the looks… the album seemed as if it was a mohit’s album. OK, so personally it’s not that I don’t like mohit as a singer, and infact I’ve liked his works from the good old days of ‘Silk Route’ and when ‘boondein’ happened with smash hits like ‘dooba dooba’. But his song ‘tum se hi’ from ‘Jab we met’ just irritated me like hell. I was so irritated and shocked to see that this was the sound of lead singer from ‘Silk Route’, the band I loved so much. I mean, the complete fuckin’ song sounds same, no ups lows, GOD knows what the real music lingo is for that but monotonus like shit… YEAS SHIT… no matter what, whom, when, where, how… it smells and looks shit… same is the case with mohit’s songs… just bullshit monotonity… take away ‘masakkali’ from ‘delhi-6’ and ‘pee loon’ from ‘once upon a time in mumbai’ from his portfolio and listen to all the shit that he has delivered, all bloody sound same… 10 years from now I’m telling all of them will become like cheenie people… all the same… we wont be able to differentiate who is chin po and who is pin cho...
Ok so enough of foreplay… let’s get to business… for me, the stage was set for an amazing combo… a good looking movie and an unusual getup for an Indian movie star, to go with some really powerful music… For once I even thought that it may be of the league of what I missed in form of ‘Paanch’ by Anuraag Kashyap(Kalki’s husband…lol… OK… OK… we all know anurag kashyap for other reasons too, yeas he’z the one behind some legendry works of recent times ranging from Black Friday, Dev D to Gulaal to Shaitaan in recent, and That Girl in Yello boots due for release). I mean it needs SOME music, singing and performance to get anything close to ‘main Khuda’ by KK and KK(both KK’s are menon and both are really special in their own league). I mean when I saw ‘sadda haq’ it was almost reminiscence of ‘main Khuda’, the power that KK(singer) put in the rendition and the goose bump performance that KK(actor) gave… could immediately be connected to Ranveer and AR Rahman’s ‘sadda haq’. But as soon as you try to put in mohit, the aura just fades… I strictly feel that his voice is OK for smaller budget films… or maybe he might be good with one here and there in mahesh bhatt’s movies… cuz mahesh’s movies, though have a bold point to make but still are soft in presentation… I mean a violent movie with scenes of gore like murder 2 can also accommodate songs like ‘phir mohobbat’… hez a maestro at getting out special from people… so if mohit works for Mahesh bhatt then its still OK… cuz bhatt can deal with him… but with ‘Rockstar’… I personally feel he has simple and plain fucked up the album… just like farhaan messed up ‘Rock on’ when instead of resorting to pros like KK, Atif or sukhwinder he decided to go ahead by himself and really messed them up… but for me he was still far far better than mohit… hez an intelligent worksman and hence he was atleast able to pump in the passion though his voice was sounding weak and hollow at times but still he was atleast able to generate the Rock mood. But with mohit… he sounds as if hez a looser and is singing in a bus or train or in front of a temple, asking you to accept his song and his voice and talent… instead of pushing… exerting his sound on the scene… he seems wanting for recognition… now come on… its not being rude… when we pay to buy a cassette or a CD… we are not expecting to hear a plea from the singer… instead what we want is the singer to push us to go out and buy his next album, without listening to the track, out of shear brand loyalty… that is what AR Rahman is… that is what KK is, what Atif is or for that matter what Mahesh Bhatt is… we don’t need to think twice before buying their music… we just buy it… but with mohit the scene is that he comes bundled with when you buy a ‘delhi-6’ for AR Rahman, or a ‘once upon a time in mumbai’ for ajay devgan. And atleast for a movie like Rockstar, you don’t want any charity or welfare, you need power, exertion… you need a ‘PAANCH’ like power…
Personally for me… it’s a two statement review for the music:
1. A R Rahman is back in form
2. Mohit Chauhan has sounded too monotonus majority of the time and hence has fucked up the album
And yeas it is very much possible that the music might do well in terms of numbers, but it can never become a ‘sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hai’ from 'dil se'… I mean you watch ‘dil se’ and you are bound to get goose bumps when sukhwinder and AR Rahman create magic in this song… This is what we expect of AR Rahman… that even after 15 years… the echos of that song in our minds raise our heart beats… leave aside me… I toh get goose bumps even today when I remember this song and SRK being beaten up and thrown up mountains, and when mini and SRK are blown or the background chants of ‘jai bharat, jai bharat’ when the terrorist training camps were shown… for me, I admit ‘Dil se’ was special(the only movie I watched in theatre multiple times other than KNPH… hehehe… I watched both these movies atleast 4-5 days consecutively and 8-9 times in total in theater), but then I guess this is true with AR Rahman’s music for ever… I mean how can a person as sufi as someone who produced a ‘vande maataram’, ‘piya haji ali’, ‘mustafa mustafa’, ‘Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera’, miscalculate upon such a stage… Mohit is just not the person.
So, enough of anti mohit campaign(this article seems more of an anti mohit agenda than Review of Rockstar music)… let us discuss the songs and my comments…
  1. Phir se ud challa - Mohit Chauhan: opening sounded a bit like the mood of 'yuhi chala chal from swades', but surely missed the sounds of Kailash and Udit. A good composition and lyrics too were soulful… but mohit has let down, for some funny reason he always sounds crying… aaaieeennnnn aaaaaaannnnnn… +composition, - singing(KK-sukhi-kailash would’ve been better)
  2. Jo bhi main - Mohit Chauhan: the crowd sounds are special but… KK would have been perfect for this one… it’s his kind of song… even a Farhaan akhtar would have done better… don’t trust me… just listen to ‘tum ho toh’ from 'rock on'…  the song here, 'jo bhi main' has great mood, feel and crowd… but the soul is missing… cuz the performer is not singing his heart out… instead mohit is just reading out the lines given with his trade mark lousy aaaieeennnnn aaaaaaannnnnn… +mood, +composition, +feel, - singing(KK was the only person for this song… and yeas if any farahn could’ve done it better, cuz he has shown in 'tum ho toh')
  3. Katiya Karoon - Harshdeep Kaur: these kind of songs have become almost a synonym of AR Rahman hindi movie album off late… and infact nothing even comparable to 'sasural genda fool' nothing special
  4. Kun Faya Kun - A.R Rahman, Javed Ali, Mohit Chauhan: The GOD himself takes charge and leads the way… and amazing composition… right up there if not comparable to ‘piya haji ali’ and ‘khwaja mere khwaja’ amazing… one of the saving grace of the album Winner
  5. Sheher Mein - Mohit Chauhan, Karthik: sounds the funky types, comic types like Eminem(of course not rap or hip hop), karthik sounds OK but mohit is again is shehar meiinnnn… aaaieeennnnn aaaaaaannnnnn… nothing special
  6. Hawaa Hawaa - Mohit Chauhan: A typical AR Rahman like song… from his days of Telugu dubbed movies in hindi… like ‘gentleman’ and ‘kadhalan’… a singer from south or Rahmans's team would have done it far better...  nothing special
  7. Aur Ho - Mohit Chauhan, Alma Ferovic: amazing compilation and without doubt Mohit’s best in the album… + composition(sukhwinder would have just pumped extra special life in this… something like ‘aaja sanam’ from ‘khilaaf’ or even something of the league of ‘satrangi’ from ‘dil se’ by sonu)
  8. Tango For Taj – Instrumental: just another composition… no way what one expects from AR Rahman when it comes to instrumentals or background scores… remember Bombay theme, ‘sitaaron se aage jahan’ from ‘Dil se’, I mean Rahmans's instrumentals speak more loud and clear that the tracks with explicit lyrics... but here... its a diwali ka fusssssss patakha... nothing special
  9. Tum Ko - Kavita Subamaniam: a typical kavita rendition… nothing special and comparable to ‘boondon se baatein’ from ‘Thakshak’ or the likes... nothing special
  10. The Dichotomy Of Fame - Instrumental feat. Balesh, Kabuli  : again a letdown for an instrumental by AR Rahman… nothing special
  11. Nadaan Parinde - A.R Rahman, Mohit Chauhan: a maestro stroke as we expect when we listen to AR Rahman with an OK performance by Mohit(would have loved to hear a bit more of AR Rahman in the song and would have been great if Mohit was replaced by sukhwinder)                    
  12. Tum Ho - Mohit Chauhan, Suzanne D'Mello : an OK composition but could have been better if for once we could have some other singer… remember Benny Dayal from ‘kaise mujhe tum mil gaye’ in ‘Ghajini’… this is what a fresh voice can do at times… it can work wonders and give an OK song like 'kaise mujhe tum' or this one a completely new perspective nothing special
  13. Saada Haq - Mohit Chauhan, feat. Orianthi, Clinton Cerejo: Clearly the winner… a great great sound… it has the canvas of AR Rahman… somewhat like songs from ‘yuvraaj’ had… it feelsBIG… the sound… the passion… the lyrics… is just amazing… but when you listen to it more closely on a head phone you can clearly make out mohit being singled out… he bloody is again howling… hez just pure shit nonsense… put a KK or even more a sukwinder and listen to the composition.. it is bound to blow you away… a superb composition… that too an extent has covered up Mohit’s mess and is a clear #1 for the album Winner
All the best Ranveer… AR Rahman… sadda haq and rockstar… GO and conquer hearts…                

Aditya Informatics and Research Centre

In this age of Management & Technology, a group of intellectuals felt the need to have some platform, where young and budding scientists, managers, academicians and researchers could express their views and discuss the problems among their peers. Aditya Informatics and Research Centre(AIRC) has been conceived with this noble intention in view.


International Journal of Contemporary Practices(IJOCP), ISSN:2231-5608 was launched in May 2011 as a monthly Journal to be published online only in subscription only distribution. Later addressing the high demand for Print Journals in India Aditya International Journal of Research in Technology and Management(AIJORTM), ISSN:2248-9665 was launched in June. Dr. Manish Tanwar(Assistant Professor, Rampuria Institute of Management Studies, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India) edited first three issues of IJOCP and two issues of AIJORTM after which he handed over the responsibility to Amit Daiya and stepped down as Editor.


Both the Journals have been introduced to give an opportunity to budding researchers and experienced mentors for expressing refined and innovative ideas in the fields of Management and Technology. It is a humble endeavor to act as a catalyst to the imminent talent and give a chance to know about the state-of-the-art in sphere of research and knowledge. It is a small step, anticipating active co-operation of like-minded scholars that shall be able to serve the society.


Since the very inception AIRC has been serving the community around it by different means of generous donations and supporting various movements of national and international importance.

Life sahi hai... tension nahi hai...



It’s been long since I shared my real ‘Gyaan’. But recently I had too many encounters with the entertainment industry of modern days that forced me out of my shell. Of course I’ve been a bit late to actually come across all these and share them, but these have been such that just don’t let me leave them go unexpressed. A major reason being all four came from ends where they were least expected.
To start with it was ‘D. K. Bose’, God only knows what was so special in it, may be the music, may be the lyrics, may be the disgust filled in it, the truth, the nightmare, the composition as a whole, probably the pace or even the ease with which it has been rendered by Ram Sampath. Definitely it was not the video or the movie cuz I haven’t seen either of them as yet. Yes I have definitely seen the video they’ve been airing as a promo or the one that is available on YouTube. Why did it come from a least expected avenue… cuz it had Aamir Khan’s nephew, Imran Khan… that is good enough a reason for a Shah Rukh Khan fan like me for not to like or even explore anything related to this movie. But still it happened, the very first time I heard this song on my headphones it was almost as if it was saying 'here i am... rock you like a hurricane'. I immediately searched for the movie, pictures, info and again got struck by its main poster that was being used for promo and just felt real tied up as I have taken a break from sketching for now. The poster pulled me with immediate effect to do it. It had that attraction that very few pictures have created in me, literally of the league of Kalki sketches. The song triggered it all and I might have even gone on to do the sketch too but it was an encounter worth expressing. The complete compilation is magically powerful. Just loved it... hats-off.

Next one was with the movie ‘pyaar ka punchnama’. Don’t know why but I really hate these words like ‘punchnama’. I liked the song ‘life sahi hai’ from this movie even when i was not knowing that it was from this movie, for more than one reasons. One prime reason was KK, with second being Vishal Dadlani, and I know these two reasons are very much personal and lack objectivity, but to be true I’m a biiiiiiiiiig fan of these two… just love the power these two, along with recent singers from Pakistan like Atif can fill in a song. Also this song along with likes of ‘D. K. Bose’ from Delhi Belly and ‘Hawa Hawai’ and ‘Khoya khoya chand’ from shaitan, and ‘phir mohobbat’ from Muder 2, are a welcome group of songs to break the shackles and open up the flood gates that have been jammed for quite some time courtesy munnni’ and sheela’ and a couple of big nonsense hits by Salmaan Khan (with exception to ‘hud dabbang’ a great redering by sukhwinder) that completely destroyed the fresh and scintillating musical journey that was kicked off by Mahesh Bhat, Imran Hashmi, Atif, Mustafa Zahid…
Anyhow first of all I liked this song ‘life sahi hai’ and was keen to watch this movie cuz the lyrics had something pulling me all the time. No one would believe they were exactly like my ‘summer of 69’ from bagalkot. But somehow I managed to miss the movie and forgot about it. Then one fine day while I was going through my favoritest kid’s collection of movies I found this silly movie and I thought why not give it a try. And to my shockingly freaking surprise the very first frame itself made it clear that it would be another ‘Rock on’ and ‘Dasvidaniya’ that I won’t be able to wind up in 10-15 minutes and trust me it was worth giving its full quota of two hours and thirty minutes. 

The very first frame was reminisce of ‘Pink House’. It literally gave goose bumps to feel like going 15 years back in a single frame. I could exactly relate to the way they would party all the time and go to the dhaba, with LIQUID doing netagiri at the dhaba having Choudhry with him to take care off… lol… it was like a sillier DMT from 15 years back doing all the netagiri in the world having Hiremath with him. I could easily connect all those three characters to so many of my friends and batch mates from bagalkot. Second instance that gave me real goose bumps was when Chaudhry at a bar sang ‘summer of 69’, it just took me by storm, cuz it was the least expected song from a Pink Floyd fan. All this (especially chaudhry singing summer of 69) was almost as if someone was trying to take me to good old days when  apni toh geeta also used to be Floyd and metallica ki kahi. Chaudhry’s get-up at their room was exactly like pandat used to have in those days and the coolness and relaxed composition he used to have while dealing with life outside his room, whether it was giving a faintest of looks to the girls passing by while entering the pub in ‘life sahi hai’ or it was scaring the jerks away from the girl talking on mobile again in ‘life sahi hai’ or even the encounter with his girlfriend’s ex in the office, or handling all the trash that was created by his girlfriend’s friends at the birthday party. He was exactly like Rawal, calm, composed and always felt in control. Their lives, their talks, their masti, their running away from girls, everything was just too real to believe. Just enjoyed every single moment of the movie, it was almost a Rock-on that takes you to the flashback, where there’s youth and there’s tension nahi hai and there’s na kisi ka rona dhona, na koi siyaapa, har kisi ko taada, har kisi ko naapa, chichoristaan ke hum Chaudhry thay, life sahi thi, tension nahi thi.

These two encounters with entertainment industry were really worth it. And all those who have not seen these movies are recommended to go and grab a copy of these movies and watch ‘em… Rock on, dasvidaniya, pyaar ka punchnama. Hail contemporary writers and Hail modern day movie makers who have made these movies so much worth watching, making audience realize that there’s more to cinema than Amitabh bachchan going out and fighting for hours without causing any destruction to either himself or the other, just jumping like crazy and doing all the silly stunts in the world, that too in every second movie

Silhouettes

Just loved the tutorial so much that just couldn't help but share it over here. the original article is posted at http://www.photoshoplab.com/creating-sunsets-with-silhouettes.html 
This tutorial will show you how to take your regular beach day photo and turn it into a beautiful sunset silhouette. Oh, and this is my 30th tutorial.
I started with this photo from BigStockPhoto.com (Couple by Dimitrii). It’s a perfect photo, since the couple is in the foreground and there are no distracting objects.
sunset1
Start by selecting the people in the foreground. This doesn’t have to be an exact selection… but the closer the better. It’s also better to have a little outside of the lines than in. I made my selection by using the Quick Mask [Q] and, using the Brush Tool [B], painting away the red.
sunset2
With your selection made, create a new Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer [Layer > New Adjustement Layer > Hue/Saturation]. Drag the Lightness all the way down to -100. (NOTE: You don’t HAVE to go to -100. Leaving it a little higher will allow your objects to show more.)

sunset3
You should end up with something like this:
sunset4
Beneath your Hue/Saturation Layer… you’re going to create another Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer [Layer > New Adjustement Layer > Hue/Saturation] with the same setting of Lightness: -100.
Your image will be black. Select the Gradient Tool [G] and press [D] to set your colors to default. Choose the default Black-to-White gradient.
sunset6
Make sure your layer mask is selected on your new Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer.
sunset5
Now, drag the gradient from bottom to top. Do this until you get the effect you like.
sunset7
Below these two layers, create a Solid Color Adjustment layer [Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color]. Set the color to a dark orange color. I used #f78733.
Set the Layer Mode to Color Burn.
sunset8
If the color is too dark or too light, just open the Solid Color Adjustment Layer and mess with the colors til you get something you like.
Now, to create the glow of the sun. Make a circle selection with the center near the horizon.
sunset9
Create a new Solid Color Adjustment Layer and select a yellow color. I used #f4bc12.
sunset10
Run a high Gaussian Blur of around 25-pixels or so. [Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur]. Make it enough of a blur so you can’t see a hard edge in your circle. Set the Layer Mode to Lighten.
sunset11
Make a trapezoid shaped selection, with the small end being at your horizon.
sunset12
Create a new Solid Color Adjustment Layer below the orange-color layer. Fill it with the same yellow you used for the sun. Again, I used #f4bc12.
sunset13
Run a Gaussian Blur [Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur] (or [Ctrl + Alt + F]) of about half the amount you used earlier. I used 15.
Set the Layer Mode to Linear Light and reduce the Layer Opacity to around 50%.
sunset15
In case you got confused on the Layer order, here’s a shot of my Layers Palette.
sunset16
So there’s a relatively quick way to turn any photo into a Hallmark sunset photo.

batch install on eclair 2.1 and froyo 2.2

after a bit of googling i found this really cool method on xda to batch install apks on android device
color code
this is how your command prompt will look
these are the commands you need to input at your command prompt
commands you need to enter when you are replacing text in print.txt file(see screen shots for reference)


1. on your PC Open command prompt (CMD) and change directory to your apk folder(lets call it ext)
preferably keep it in C: coz its easy to reach there... coz then all you need to do is
c:\>cd\
c:\>cd ext
2. then when in apks your command promt will read c:\ext> and you should type following command
c:\ext>dir /s /b > print.txt
this will create a text file called print.txt in apks folder containing list of all apks, now minimize the command prompt
3. now do a simple replace of "C:\" in print.txt by pressing CTRL+H to "adb install -r c:\" (ignore double quotes)




4. next rename your print.txt as print.bat by simply entering
c:\ext>ren print.txt print.bat
now close the command prompt
5. go to adb shell on your PC's command prompt and enter following command
c:\ext\print.bat
your command will show following success commands


thats it... all your apks will be installed in one go
