Not unlike most people I know, I find more time on my hands to admire nature, have nice chats and watch movies (and my campus gives ample opportunities for all three) at the time of an exam. I decided to make a post on two consecutive days, for a change.
I am not sure though if I really have anything to write. Have seen a few brilliant movies lately, but not in the mood for reviews. Do watch, if you have the stomach for movies with gore and twisted narratives, this Japanese flick called Tetsuo if you are able to get your hands on it. It's a scarier version of Lynch's Eraserhead, and I hadn't even heard of it till a friend recommended it to me a few days back. Absolutely mind-boggling stuff. Of course, people in Delhi, and almost everyone who occasionally turns up here happens to be from Delhi, can copy it from me during my impending visit.
Heard the soundtrack of an upcoming movie called Delhi Heights. Music and lyrics by Rabbi Shergill. I never got around to listening any other songs from his first album apart from Bulla Ki Jana. Should have listened to Tere Bin earlier. This song, which is also a part of the soundtrack, is divine. Have been playing it over and over again.
I have also discovered something on the net that I am dying to tell someone about, but can't. Because I am afraid it might die out the moment it gets known that I know about it. It's just something that I had expected for long and, in one of those crazy coincidences that define our lives, came across it today. I love the internet. I love Blogger.
Have been feeling really nostalgic about Delhi these days. My last visit was spoiled because of something dumb that I did. My next visit in transit is going to be too short for me to really surpass that, but one never knows with me. Because of that I am already having second thoughts about cutting down my planned stay and not being any longer there than I am absolutely needed to. Some things are better the way you imagine them to be than they are in reality. Anyway, Dilli door ast, as of now.

It's actually Delhii Heights. I have thought of the (Indian) porn movie idea too, much like an India-centric wikipedia because a lot of articles to do with India are stubs. With porn, the bottleneck may be getting enough actors (or performers), even more than the social stigma attached to porn film direction and prodution. In fact, it is this very stigma that will prevent you from getting good talent in your movies. Scripting for porn films will be fun, though.
Actually, I believe getting actors is not that difficult. I am sure Indians are as eager to make a fast buck as Americans or Europeans are.
tere bin is a wonderful wonderful song...i wrote a post mentioning it recently....and i didnt know any punjabi so this helped a lot...http://rabbism.blogspot.com/2005/07/tere-bin-rabbi-shergill-lyrics.html
i love the song..loved it even when i heard it as rabbi's first album but only recently got to know the meaning :)
Yeah, been to that site. And I am a fan of the song for the lyrics. More for the lyrics than the music, at least.
