"Coffee @ MG Road"

Hey guys....

For anyone who hasnt seen the video of Vineeth Sreenivasans latest malayalam hip-hop offering from his album "Coffee @ MG Road" ....heres the deal....

Some very funky lyrics followed by some chic direction,choreography and some quality Hip Hop music makes this an instant hit among the youth.But the limelight of the show is none other than Mr.Salim "Akon" Kumar...Hes the soul of the song....

It seems "Malayalees" should not be called "Mala-ya-lees" anymore......
Maybe "Mala-Yo-lees" would be more appropriate...just kidding...

Adios my dears....Enjoy....

The Year Of the "Chali"

Chinese say it is the year of the rat that we are passing through now.But i dare to differ my dears.I dont give a dirty rats ass as to what the chinese think , but i can certainly say that it is the Year Of The "Chali" that is raging on.....

The word "Chali" has its origins deep rooted in Indian mythology...In one of the books written at that time by a famous somebody..I am sure it was Kunthi..It is mentioned that--
"Ramano a-Thorthilla...laxmananoooo mundilla" was a hit in the courts of RVN(a.k.a Ravanan)....Just Kidding(as if i had to say so)....

Over the long years after that , chali had developed into an art form(documents from that time are very scarce), only to fade away leaving memories that became legends and even these legends faded away to myths in the coming years...only to be broken once in a while by a chali of humongous magnitude...

Steve Jobs(Co-Founder of Apple Computers & presently CEO of Apple) had remarked soon after the company was founded that--
"Newton was lucky that Apple computers were not found before his time.Otherwise he would have died when the apple fell on his head and we wouldnt have any idea of gravitation".
He is considered by many the father of modern Chalis.

It is rightly said that after every fall there is a rise....

It was during such an era(the year 2008) when even those myths(about the chalis) were long forgotten that the revival of this art form fell into the hands of some unlikely heroes at an unlikely time in an unlikely place.

As it is the Year 2008 would be henceforth Known in the future as The Year Of The Chali...

The heroes were a group of wanna be computer science engineers in a dingy hostel room , praying(not studying) their hearts out to pass in the coming exam.

They Embraced the power and grew to be feared by one and all , for no one(no matter how strong,how sturdy,how prepared they were) could stand their chalis for long.

They came to be known as The "C" Company.

More to follow about the C company....till then-

Adiós mis amigos más queridos (Bye My Dearest Friends)....
