Posted by Anandhan Subbiah in Featured, Movies, Music No comments

The stakes were quite high for Vidyasagar after the immense success of Mozhi. I was really hoping that the Radhamohan-Vidyasagar combination would provide quality music one more time but Vidyasagar seems to lost it big time with this album. He seems to have gone back the 90’s with his music arrangements and the melody and [...]

Web Site Optimization - Choosing Data Formats Wisely

For example, –verbose (-v) always means “verbose output,” regardless of the subcommand you use it with.

Achu is the music director and he has pleasantly surprised me with this very impressive score on debut. Achu is from the Rehman music school and I am sure his mentor must have been very impressed with his students first outing.

General Motors unveiled the Chevrolet Volt this morning, revealing a car that is much sleeker than the angular concept we saw almost two years ago. It’s the strongest evidence yet that the range-extended electric car is on track to appear in showrooms by the end of 2010, and a good sign that GM may stick [...]
