It is hot in Coimbatore, hot like I've never experienced in the past. I am known for covering myself under a sheet all round the year when asleep, this year I had to abandon that. Intermittent summer showers cool things down a bit but the afternoon heat is excruciating. The lull after the last race in Sepang and the race in Spain this weekend are heating things up too. Will McLaren continue their good run despite their car looking shaky at times (the blue haze from Lewis' car at every turn was scary)?
AR Rahman's "Sivaji" is another thing that is adding to the summer heat. This album is hot and shows what Rahman can do when he get's his own sweet time to work on a soundtrack. I hope the background score lives up to the demands of a Rajini movie. Waiting for this movie to release to see how it fares. Though 'Big B' was a dissappointment, it's music was the best to have come out in recent times. Alphons Joseph is the man behind the soundtrack which get's me to a pertinent question. Why is he not doing the background score for his movies? "Big B" is a case to point.
Haven't read anything in the past 2 months except weekly magazines and the daily newspaper. Call it laziness or not being able to allocate time for it. These days I sleep all day and then work all night. Catch up with some errands early in the morning before going back to sleep again. Heading toward to Madras this weekend and guess what? It's always fun to be with kids and the joy of being with Mia and Meeshma is unparalleled. Especially when you see them fighting for ownership over you, it's not to be encouraged but it's a nice feeling. I will drive them back to Coimbatore on Sunday and I hope the roads are better this time around.
On the back of my mind there's a thought to take a quick trip to Edapally and take part in St.George's feast this year, this is one of those random lightnings I keep getting so it may happen or simply may be dumped. "Roses in winter", "Destination Christ" - two albums Timmy brought back from the trip to Malayatoor released by the RexBand lives up to the expectations I had. The songs are simply fantastic and there's a particular song dedicated to the Late Pope John Paul II which moves me in ways I cannot describe. I am a fan of the late Holy Father and I cannot but submit myself to the power of the music and lyrics and experience his presence in my life. I would love to share the music with everyone on the internet but I don't want to encourage piracy, if anybody wants a demo track or something I'll put it up online. I'll also be glad to purchase and mail copies of this CD if anyone desires.
