Yeh hawa, kehti hai kya, Sun to, meri jaana meri jaana… | Song of These Days

I heard this song while I was in the bus travelling home for the weekend. Although I’ve heard this song earlier – quite a time ago – this got stuck in my head this time. I came home and Grooveshark‘d it. I found it’s lyrics too, but couldn’t find an English translation. So I went to ICQ‘s Indian chat-room and got one of the guys help with translating it. Because I have a little knowledge of spoken Hindi thanks to Bollywood movies, with his help I could translate it alright (Corrections welcome!). More… »

After ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, there came the 4th edition of IPL – the Indian Premier League -, then the Sri Lanka’s tour of England and Scotland.

Broken Angel

Broken AngelIt’s time to talk about another song that is echoing in many Sri Lanka’s heads these days. Arash’s “Broken Angel” song is really leading the SL society now.

I talked to few of my friends about the song and they were really impressed about it. Although they were familiar with the song, only one or two had watched the music video. It is very important that you watch the music video of this song in order to enjoy this piece of art to the maximum. Having made by Warner Music Sweden, the music video contains a really touching story and a great techniques used to present it. …

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011; Making it the “Social World Cup” – Express Yourself!

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011A while ago Amitha Amarasinghe published a post called “Cricket World Cup 2011 Will Become the First Ever ‘Social World Cup’” in his blog “Ami’s Space“. There he discussed what are potentials of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 to become the first ever “Social World Cup”, that past world cups hadn’t comparing this year with the past.

Specially, “Social World Cup” here means bringing the influence of cricket fever to the cyber world, as cricket world cup fever is socially spreaded enough already in Indian sub-continent, I guess other major cricketing nations are the same. So, according to Amitha – and your common sense – Internet and it’s media have spreaded all over the world now than ever, even in this Indian sub-continent where cricket is almost a religion.

As Amitha have already discussed about why this can be made social, I am going to discuss about How to make ICC CWC2011 social. More… »

“Play for the Game” – and why it is waaay better than “De Ghuma Ke”

I’m writing this up to bring you the nice piece of music BanglaYouth came up for the CWC2011.

Even Indians I met through various social networks believe that the song is bullshit. I can’t believe that a country with Bollywood inside it made such a poor theme song for a international sporting event. More… »
