Golden Globe for Nattu Nattu (RRR)
The big news for music lovers in India is out today ,  Nattu Nattu of RRR received most prestigious international Golden Globe Award. It has beaten western heavyweights like Taylor Swift and Rihanna.
The song composed by  M M Keeravani and written by Rajmauli was filmed in front of Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky's official residence in 2021.
By and large people in India  are delighted that a hit song from  India won such a prestigious award. But there are few rational voices from music industry who feel otherwise . There are so many better lyrics and compositions during the year in Indian Films such as : 
RangiSari – JugJugg Jeeyo, Dholida - Gangubai Kathiawadi , Doobey – Gehraiyaan ,Thumkeshwari - Bhediya , Kahani - Laal Singh Chaddha, Jab Saiyaan - Gangubai Kathiawadi , Ami Je Tomar - Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 , Manike Mage Hithe – Thank God , Deva Deva - Brahmastra , Yeh Ek Zindagi – Monica, O My Darling.
In fact, Telgu composer M M Keeravani has composed much better songs in the past and were not even considered worth nomination for Golden Globe Awards : 
Rose Rose Rose. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, K. S. Chithra.
Jaamurathiri. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, K. S. Chithra.
Chethilona Cheyyesi. M. M. Keeravani, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam.
I mention the lyrics of Battu Nattu for you to decide the wisdom of nomination: 
Polamgattu Dhummulona, Potla Gittha Dhookinattu,
Poleramma Jatharalo, Potharaju Ooginattu,
Kirruseppulu Esukoni, Karrasamu Sesianattu,
Marrisettu Needalona, Kurragumpu Koodinattu,
Yerrajonna Rottelona, Mirapathokku Kalipinattu,
Na Pata Soodu, Na Pata Soodu,
Na Pata Soodu, Natu Natu Natu, Natu Natu Natu Veera Natu,
Listen to my song. Naatu Naatu Naatu, Crazy Naatu.
Natu Natu Natu, Natu Natu Natu Oora Natu,
Naatu Naatu Naatu. Wild Naatu.
Natu Natu Natu Pachi Mirapalaga, Picha Natu,
Natu Natu Natu Vichu Katthi Laga, Verri Natu,
Gundeladhiri Poyela, Dandanakara Moginattu,
Sevulu Sillu Padelaga, Keesu Pitta Koosinattu,
Yelu Sitikalesela Yavaram Saginattu,
Kalu Sindhu Thokkela, Dhummaram Reginattu,
Vollu Sematapattela, Veerangam Sesinattu,
Like dancing which makes your body sweat
Na Pata Soodu, Na Pata Soodu,
Na Pata Soodu, Natu Natu Natu, Natu Natu Natu Veera Natu………..
English Translation: 
Like an aggressive bull jumping in the dust of the fields 
Like the lead dancer dancing at a local goddess’s festival 
Like playing with the stick while wearing wooden slippers 
Like a gang of young boys assembling under the shade of a banyan tree 
Like eating a jowar roti with a chili. 
Listen to my song. Listen to my song. 
Naatu like a green chilli. 
Naatu like a sharp dagger. 
Like beating a drum which makes your heart beat faster
 Like the shrill voice of a bird which can make your ears ring 
Like singing a song which can make your fingers snap in rhythm 
Like the wild dance when there is a fast rhythm Listen to my song. Listen to my song. Naatu Naatu Naatu. Crazy Naatu……….

Is Kedli Mother of Idli : Tried To Find Out Answer In Indonesia

Recently I traveled to Indonesia and surprised to learn that culturally Indonesian are very close to us. Even their food has certain commonality. And interestingly I come to know that our very own Idli has its origin in Indonesia. Let us start with religion. Hindu and Budhist influences arrived in this archipelago much before birth of Jesus Christ. It is however unclear that how the cultural and spiritual ideas from India were diffused in the area. It appears that there had been regular trade links between southern part of India with Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Bali as well as many other Islands in Indian as well as Pacific ocean. The traders from India brought their cultural, culinary and religious influences. Java legends refer to Saka-era, traced to 78 AD . Stories from the famous epic Mahabharat have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror those found in southeast Indian peninsular region. The Javanese prose work Tantu Pagelaran of the 14th cent...

I met Punit Pania yesterday at Independence Brewing Company. an happening watering hole in Lokhandwala area just before his stand-up comedy act. In fact he was generous enough to share his space with The Book  Club event on first floor of pub, he shared his journey from a safe Corporate Den to the wild world of stand-up comedians. Punit is a Non-Gujju born and broughtup in Gujju dominated Society in Kandivali East as a protected child, where his parents did not allow him to travel any place beyond the reach of auto rikshaw ! Not only that her mother was so protective that she was happy to concede her son's intent to start a pathological lab in the area so that he come every day for maa ke haath kaa dopahar ka khana !

Elton John is my most favorite singer. He is a singer, songwriter, pianist and composer all rolled into one. In terms of sales, he is the fourth-best-selling music artist worldwide . In 1998, he was knighted by British Queen this got ‘Sir’ title, but for music lover like me whether he is Sir or not a Sir , it is immaterial. He has won heart of millions of music lovers, that is more important. These days I am living in Harrow Burroughs of London, Pinner is a part of it. Yesterday I was in Pinner Library and out of a conversation between two young ladies I come to know that this international rock sensation was born and brought up in this area only. I asked the ladies  about the details. Than they shared that he was born in house at 55, Pinner Hill Road in March 1947.

The boy was named Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and raised in the council house of his grandparents at 55, Pinn...
