Remembering Sachin Dev Burman on his Death Anniversary - Biography -1

Today is the Death Anniversary of Sachin Dev Burman.Known as "Sachin Karta" to the music connoisseurs of Kolkata, "Burman Dada" as fondly called by the musicians of Bombay, "Shochin Deb Bormon" by the radio listeners of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, "S.D. Burman" by the film cine goers or simply "SD" by his "jeans" filmi fans -- he created songs that bore the stamp of his inimitable genius, abounding in variety yet retaining the distinction of his style. Drawing from the vast store of folk music-forms and from the classical teachings, as the mood called for, he produced what is known as the Sachin Dev Burman music which is at once rotund, vibrant and unorthodox both in form and substance.

Now watching The Myth

Watching a movie in Star Movies, The Myth. Sounds familiar - eh ? Okay this is the film in which Mallika Sherawat worked with Jackie Chan! An archaeologist discovers an ancient monument that has the ability to create a field of zero gravity. He has to now ensure that it does not fall in the evil hands and to prove his dreams are also real. Interesting !

Please have a look at my Durgapuja Album 2010

Finished a book

Yesterday, I finished the Book of one of my favorite author, Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol. I Started as soon as I bought this in the Platform no. 9B just before boarding to my train, and it is worth reading ! It is truly unputdownable.

In “The Lost Symbol”, Dan Brown takes his “symbologist” non-hero Robert Langdon on a high-speed twelve-hour tour around Washington DC. Broadly speaking, it’s like riding pillion on a jetbike driven by a historian screaming conspiratorial travelogue descriptions into your ears like a cricket commentary.

Actually, I think Langdon’s key attribute (his tremendous memory), which is the best thing that Brown created – an historical memory robot able to dredge up every wonky numerological / etymological / mythological fantasy ever imagined, while remaining indifferent to all of them. Even though at one point Brown has a brief chuckle at the Wiki-likes learning of modern students, Langdon himself functions as nothing more complex than a disbelieving walking Wikipedia.

Unfortunately… given how bad a film that first book got turned into, I truly worried at the thought of how bad a film ”The Lost Symbol” promises to be.

Rest in peace

While going to Sealdah station to catch Duronto yesterday, I witnessed a glimpse of a tragic incident. Saw a police van piloting 3 coffin carriage towards the last river of 3 members of a family died of an unfortunate accident in Bhutan last friday. The leisure trip during Durga puja holidays turned fatal for Biman Bhattacharjee, an ex-airforce now working with LIC, 55, his wife Soma, 44 and son Soham, 13 died on the spot when the indica they were travelling to Phoontsholing lost control and fall inside the cliff. The elder son Rohan is struggling for his life in a Bhutan hospital. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and pray for the recovery of Rohan, the only surviving member of the Durganagar based family.
