Ok.. I finally found a link to download the video from "Curtain Call", Eminem's Last Album FOREVER!!!. Its 32.3 WMV file. Pretty good quality ripped off TRL. I'm kinda still in a state of shock after watchin it.. almost tears tricklin down...but holding on. Things will never be the same again without Marshall Mathers holding the mic, the same hand which inspired many souls like me to take to Hip Hop & explore rhythm and poetry(rap). Hope he doesnt make a sellout comeback like Jay-Z & the rest of the shitheads.
Get the video here.....EMINEM - WHEN I'M GONE VIDEO

Date with the DOC
Before you jump to conclusions, let me clarify this 'date' was an impromptu appointment with my "family" doctor. I've found it interesting that only we Indians use the word "family" doctor. According to the unwritten dictionary of oft used indian-english words, "family doctor" is one who's been associated with treating one or more generations of your family as a general physician.
This FD(i.e Family Doctor from now on) is an interesting chap. He's totally bald, has rashes all over his head, has a gleaming smile, hasn't increased his fee for the past 15 years and can treat almost every ailment with the same set of medicines prescribed in different combinations. So, when I was down with a cold, I used his prescription which I had obtained the previous time I had the same symptoms and self-doctored myself.
Being the idiot I was, it didn't work. I didn't have a sore throat but ended up taking pills for that. 5 days of eating anti-biotics has only cleard a blocked nose. My throat has become worse, my senses of smell and taste are totally screwed up. I HAD no other option but to pay my FD a visit.
To describe his clinic is pretty easy. According to folklore, his clinic has remained the same over the past 30 years. He has a small 15 X 15 ft room for attending to his patients. A 5 X 5 ft waiting room with a seating capacity of 7 people. This doc can get pretty annoying for waiting patients as he talks a lot about the "family" of the patient he attends to. So, the season of cold,cough & fever like rite now, he may make you wait for 45 mins. For entertainment during this time, we have magazines like Outlook, The Week dating back to 1999 lying on a chair. Think his neighbours dump old books in his clinic.
After an agonizing wait, I finally got to him. He took 2 mins to check my pulse, heartbeat and general stuff like that. He took his pad, scribbeld some pills for me to take for 5 days. I doubted if he's presribing the same pills as I had taken earlier. As usual he was asking me about my family and whether I'm placed etc, etc. Once I got out of the clinic I headed to the pharmacy to check if I'm gonna be taking the same pills again.
Bingo!! 2/3 pills he prescribed, I'm aldready taking them. A new pill which he gave frekking cost 124 bucks for 5 days dosage. Damn!!! Should've gone with my dad's advice. "Always go to a doc once you get cold, cough or fever. If you go after you've done self medication, whatever medicine he gives you, its gonna cure. You're gonna end up wasting money and prolonging your illenss!"
P.S : Always go by your dad's advice on when to visit a doc, when to stop dosage n when he says "Don't drink cold drinks, this is the season of cold". If only I had listened. Sigh!!

Madras Tales - 4 - Don Raze
LOL! This track was done when I wrote a short story, an 8mile'ish story of moi going by the name of "Donnie Raze". The lyric is written in the context that it was supposed to be for a movie soundtrack where I have a disagreement with a "rap" star who has made it big by faking stories about himself. So here it goes..
p.s.. this turned out to be one of my best rap singles to date according to critics..

Verse 1:
yo yo Freestyling come on
mad at me coz i kept it real,
whattup dawg? got any deal?
hah! thats the best joke i've ever cracked
but u said u was on crack
i laugh at that,
coz u had ur moments, back to reality
now u snapped back n u mad at me
why dawg? i dont know why
oh wait! hold on, coz i called ur lie
i dont wanna talk, i dont wanna walk
i dont wanna chalk out a plan to be ur man
coz whatever i say i aint gonna say it
like i said before i aint gonna be a foe
but just know that way before i knew a friend
i trusted now, now busted
me no speak again. me dont give a damn,
u's a bitch, u cant be a man,
understand we playing a level gameplay
u not like me coz i'm not like u
and i aint like u, let loose can bite u
fight u? fuck i got better things to do
but i aint like u, keep running my mouth
thats what this is about,
i dont give a f**k if u got clout,
coz it aint for the dough, b keep it low,
there aint time for potshots,
u get shot with a glock bigger than ben clock
i know i've unearthed the birth of a jerk
who squirks everytime he speaks his words
now wat am i to do, wat am i to say
how i got these fake ass gangstas play
with me coz i kept it real,
real like a bottle of beer,
n i gulp it down while i search for u
i break it down to put it in u
n i bark with a hark as i see u fade
bitch know u cant fuck with raze
blaze away with the fire
in these line that spit with desire
see u dissapear in industry
see u get erased from history

Madras Tales - 3 - No Rap Game
This is a track I wrote after getting sick of the SYSTEM & the wannabe's. Both of 'em arent worth shit.
Verse 1:
my musics gonna hypnotize, a whole country traumatized
with religion and poverty, communist hypocrisy,
the whole dman shit's botherin me
am i the only one talkin sense,
when govt spends so much for defence,
they gonna run out of ammo in the next war,
so they took my taxes and bought some mortars,
and i pay for every mine that they plant,
while people get blown away, even infants,
half of india is under 25,
i dont give a shit,i wanna live my life
we dont live in the gandhian era anymore,
we forgot who was subash chandra bose
history judged people too fast,
after 55 years, we still kissin ass
Chorus:
its a shame, a billion people no rap game,
talented musicians leaving people in awe,
but not a bold lyricist, so here i am,
using these words to fight, stay tight, i'll surely bite
Verse 2:
indian rap aint goin nowhere,
but we got a bunch of wannabe's in the air,
tryin to mock the gangsta shit,
all they do is talk, but not one hit
2020 is the year i'm waitin for,
jus like any other 20 year old,
but i'll be double my age, maybe on the front page
when we become a super power, i'll send u flowers
coz i'll be the only one left in the game,
all the others in the grave was so lame,
while i juggle two things allrite,
engineer the day with rap at nite , i still bite
i'm not new to being singled out
thats why i belive in talent, and not influential clout,
when i walk away i want people to remember,
that free will is something that i will not surrender

Madras Tales - 1- Plan of Action
Lyrics
Intro:
its been a long time, since 2001
when I dropped my first rhyme
same world, same city, same game
everyday I'm fighting to save my name
save my grace, its taken to a new level now
I'm gonna spit some ill shit,
dont think i'm legit, when u say my name
Chennai's never gonna be the same again
Yeah..no fear man.. n I got it locked
come on..make the music stop!!
Verse 1:
its been 5 years, no thrills, no cheers
I've come to the stage with no fear, no tears
n i forsake fights with my peers
who got no idea wats written on their foreheads
I been stupid before
made mistakes now i know for sure
that I've grown beyond it
so i dont do them anymore
now my life's stess free
I got da knowledge to see
how i can trust enemies
n I dont have that many
trust me, i've seen it all from empty crowds
to booing mobs to total freak outs
I've been around madras city
doin shows to get publicity
ai! it aint goin nowhere
now I don care coz I'm still out dere
and I know one day dat I'll shine,
when girls come up n say "I want u to be mine"
all the fortune fame n superstardom
is not gonna count when I leave this world
so I'd rather live life for watever its worth
I keep sayin rap is my passion,
but we underground cats need a plan of action
so dj's take the cd n put it on ur playlist
coz I dont do this for money, those cats on gay shit

Madras Tales Release
Ok. After 5 years into the rap game, I'm finally coming out of the underground rap scene. For those who've seen me on download.com as India's first rap artist "nVy" n supported me through the underground time, a big THANK U for gettin me to the #9 position on the India Charts. Although, I'm getting out of the den in 2005 rather than 2010. Also a big shoutout to my ex "Gangsta Rap - Dred Nox" bandmates Varun, Joseph, Joel & Dhanush. For my friends who've seen me emerge from "Yeah, he's a rapper" to "Shit! U rock uhhh rap", another big THANK U, epecially ones who egged me on to pursue rap.
When I first started writing, I thought it would be just another thing I start-stopped. Even though I've gone thro lot of tough times over the years, Rap's been the only saving grace in my otherwise boring life. Representing Chennai gives me great pride and its gonna be Chennai for life.
Releasing a compilation commercially n going after the money isnt what I got into hip hop for. So without further adue, I bring to you, the tales from a city once called "Madras"..
Every post I'll include the lyrics and link for the mp3 file. Keep checkin every week for song updates.

My Experiments with Environmental Science
Ok!! I've finally finshed giving the most annoying subject I've ever come across. Its "Principles of Environmental Science & Engineering". So that brings the tally of completed exams to 2.
Studying for this paper was such a pain. In my whole lifetime I've never sat in a chair for 4 hours and crammed till my brains were about to blow. All this because a bunch of my seniors scared me saying "Watch out Man!! That subject can prove to be tricky". And before writing the exam, something struck me. The paper is going to be corrected by some guy who would've paid for cheating his way into getting his degree. All he is going to glance thro my whole paper for 5 mins and fill up anything between 2-16 in each column.
So, I made up my mind. "The guy who is gonna correct this is not going to know bullshit. So why dont I slip in some abuses and give him a piece of my mind?"("Guy" here can be male/female but going by popular opinion and cliche most of the examiners are out of work post graduates calling themselves "lecturers"). My nasty mind got into work as soon as the exam started. Altho I had to write atleast a few lines related to the subject, I was working on the crap I can slip in. I've recollected the exact text from whatever I had written for a few questions which I jotted down in my question paper before turning the paper in. So here it goes.
Tactic #1 : "Causes for pollution : The causes for degradation of environment is enumerated by a total breakdown of law, order & socioecomic disorder. This is clearly highlighted by the permutations & combination followed by the mutation of biodegradable organic matter found in the earth's surface"
Marks : Probably a 2 on 2 coz it totally confuses the examiner & gives him an impression I know everything. Bingo!! Give them what they need & they'll just eat it. Even if its bullshit.
Tactic #2 : "Latent Heat : A factor U is called as latent heat of water given in the theory by Dr.Assojack."
Marks : No comments. Will be surprised if I get any coz I totally missed the point. But what the hell, this is Anna University.
Note : Notice the clever use of variables to basically imply that the examiner is a jackass if he gives me any mark for this.
Tactic #3 : "Give 4 protocols : Accodring to the Industrial Pollution Act, 1396, industries freeing effluents need be acted up on by the crack cane whipping technique specialising in the "polluter pays" principle."
Note : 1396 says it all. Wonder if industries existed then.
Tactic #4 : "Specific Heat : Its with a force F coupled with U acting on Consumers with K+ ions found in Unary organism in the biosphere"
Note : it deciphers to F**K + U
Phew!! Now just gotta wait and find out how much I get. My estimation is anywhere between 60-70 on 80. How come??????? Two words....
Anna University!!

Aaru Music Review
Aaru is a movie coming out with a lot of expectations. After the blockbuster Ghajini, people expect Suriya to become the next star in the race for "Superstar" staus. From the music of Aaru, you can pretty much understand that this is a forumula-masala movie which rides on Suriya's new found stardom tag.
Coming to the music of Devi Sri Prasad, there's hardly anything new about this album. Reminds you of Maayavi & Sachein in parts. But on the whole, its pretty average.
"Soda Bottle" by Shankar Mahadevan & Saaki Mukesh is a typical gaana song about the protagonist, a good goon called Aarumugam from Adyar. A foot tapping Koothu number. Reminds you of Simbu's early day kutthu songs.
"Paakathae" by Tippu & Sumangali is a melodious track reminding you of Kaadhal Valrthaen from Manmadan. Nice song which may turn out to be a sleeper hit. Gets better on repeated hearing. Watch out for the guitaring.
"Freeya Vudu" by Jassie Gift, Vadivelu & Co is by far the most masala oriented song of the movie. With Jassie Gift stealing the show as usual with his unusual voice, making mockery of the tamil word, "Vaenan Da" as "Onnaann da" makes you laugh for a till you realise the song is over. Vadivelu does a cameo but seems to have missed the beat as well as voice to sing. Shades of Pushpavan Kuppusamy come but he's not credited.
"Thottutae" by Karthik & Sunitha Sarathy is a techno song. Has the feel of the "Aa Aaa" techno songs but is out of tune & by the far the most boring song of the album. Repeated beats, poor lyrics render the talented voices useless.
"Dhrogam" by Hariharan does justice to his voice. But the choir is kind of annoying & lost the pitch totally. The song may go well with the situation on screen but as such is pretty average. Only plus for the song is Hariharan & the use of "Chendai" insrument in a techno type song.
"Nenjam Ennum" by Srinivas & Kalapana is another melodious number with a kutthu background. Stange way to fuse a foot tapping background with melodious singing. A so called rapper (think its Premji of Sullan fame) comes into an interlude making you wonder if they really trying to sell Hip Hop with a gaana effect. Reminds you of "Kannaum Kannum" from Thirupacchi. Pretty good song on repeated listening. But gives you the feeling you've heard it somewhere before.
On the whole, Aaru will delight Suriya Fans. His female fan base will feel let down with no romantic number to speak high of. Its a very average score when compared to Suriya's best like "Kaakha Kaakha" or "Ghajini". Its just a remixed "Maayavi".

Pssstt...the word on the street is you can get the mp3 at http://www.tamilbeat.com
I only tell ya what the streets is talkin. Check it out yourselves if you wanna see if the streets is true.
Coming to the music of Devi Sri Prasad, there's hardly anything new about this album. Reminds you of Maayavi & Sachein in parts. But on the whole, its pretty average.
"Soda Bottle" by Shankar Mahadevan & Saaki Mukesh is a typical gaana song about the protagonist, a good goon called Aarumugam from Adyar. A foot tapping Koothu number. Reminds you of Simbu's early day kutthu songs.
"Paakathae" by Tippu & Sumangali is a melodious track reminding you of Kaadhal Valrthaen from Manmadan. Nice song which may turn out to be a sleeper hit. Gets better on repeated hearing. Watch out for the guitaring.
"Freeya Vudu" by Jassie Gift, Vadivelu & Co is by far the most masala oriented song of the movie. With Jassie Gift stealing the show as usual with his unusual voice, making mockery of the tamil word, "Vaenan Da" as "Onnaann da" makes you laugh for a till you realise the song is over. Vadivelu does a cameo but seems to have missed the beat as well as voice to sing. Shades of Pushpavan Kuppusamy come but he's not credited.

Elections 2005 : Results
Lalu Prasad Yadav has been dethroned after 15 year rule. The NDA has won. Its a huge saffron wave across bihar. Click here for info on that.
Nitish Kumar is the new Chief Minister of Bihar. He seems to be a very humble man. They even showed his family on NDTV. Very simple unassuming family. Hope everything works out well for Bihar. Click here for info on Nitish's press conference.
The Congress got s**t rubbed in its face. They call it a "vote for change". Just like when the BJP called the national elections in 04 the same way.
Priya Dutt won the Mumbai North West seat. Her dad Sunil Dutt was holding this seat for the past 6 elections. It'll be interesting to see if she gets into the Union cabinet immediately. Or will she be another of those missed-my-boat politicians?
Shiv Sena's getting its ass kicked. With Bal Thackrey calling it quits, Narayan Rane seems to have consolidated his stand as an alternate to the Maratha Supremo. Interesting verdict here too.
LDF wins in Trivandrum. Rather retains its seat. No prizes for predicting this one!
Thats about the election 05 for now. Next Election to watch out for is going to be fought on the Home Front. TAMIL NADU 2006, is going to be one hell of a fireworks display.

Website Up & Running!!!!!
My new website is up and running. Although I found an amazing host, the domain name costs atleast 200 bucks. Have to write a check n all crap. For a personal website, this one's pretty ok. Its a pretty ordinary site designed to release my rap songs. If you don't know by now, I'm a Hip Hop artist.
Anyways, check out the link on the right side of this blog. I've also added a picture gallery n other personal stuff.

Judgement Day approaching for Bush
As the count of suicide bomb incidents in Iraq is catching up with the number of casualities of American Troops, President George W. Bush is at the crossroads of his political career. Everyday there are multiple suicide attacks aimed at the coalition forces of Iraqis seen as supporting them.
A lot of people are saying "Bring the troops back home","Disengage in Iraq and let them rule themselves". My question is "HOW?". These are people who didn't have a democractic leader for the past 30 years. An entire generation hasn't seen the likes of freedom. There is no organized Media, Press to report the situation properly. Whatever is being touted as "Iraqi media or press" is nothing but exiles chosen and installed to show a bias towards the administration. And we have the spinsters like CNN & BBC who take extreme pleasure in either tearing the Prez apart or suck up to him.
Coming back to plans of withdrawal, that is NOT a solution. You put your hands into s**t, now you can't just take it out and walk away. The Bush adminstration made the grave mistake of not going in without planning an exit strategy. Whatever exit strategy they adopt from now on, there ARE going to be more American & Iraqi casualities. I don't think the terrorists reducing their frequency of bombings if Bush keeps hitting them back with all the air power or missles.
What went wrong was the complete pounding of Iraq in the quest for the search of 1 man. Even he's not safe as people are after his blood. Saddam must be grinning right now. He will be happy Americans are into s**t but fearing every second when a bomb laden car will crash into his jail cell. So much for his years of flaunting his lavish lifestlye. He's become just another bum in jail.
As the body bags keep returning to America and women, childen & innocent men keep dying, all Prez Bush can do is switch on CNN at his vacation spot, sip on some wine and watch the vicious circle he helped unfold. Iraq may or may not be a Vietnam. But it sure looks like its getting there. Bush's moment of truth may have just arrived. Its a pity that we the people of the world have to watch him happlessly handle something he's not capable of handling (he couldn't even manage Afghanistan when he jumped to Iraq. Where's OSAMA?). Or are we going to see the Prez Bush we saw after 9/11, while standing with the people of New York saying "They are going to hear from us". Simple Mr.Bush. The terrorists dont give a s**t about you or anyone in this world. They seemed to be licensed to kill just like any army in the world. Sad, the enemy here doesn't even have a face. I repeat, WHERE'S OSAMA?

Story of "All on eyez this"
When I first made a post "All on eyez this", people were like "Dude. Isn't is All eyez on this?". Nobody saw the bigger picture. See people who add "spin" literally change the substance and style of a certain news item to change your opinion or atleast make an attempt at changing your opinion. So to all you fellow spinsters who like doing different things differently, I present to you some stuff I came across which can be categorized between "interesting" and "weird".
A weird theory page where they say the sky is a scrambled egg and the sun is the yolk. I know its all bullshit probably written by some out of work 20 year old. Damn!! The extents people go to when they want to "spin" science. Check it out.
Speaking of out of work 20 year olds, there is this guy who's started his own religion. See..to cut a long story short, we all know about Darwin's Natural Selection theory. Bush is trying to bring a new science subject to 9th graders called "Intelligent Design" to be taught along with Darwin's theory. This ID thing basically proposes "external" control a.k.a GOD.
To counter this, a 24 yr old guy called Bobby Henderson proposed the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a mark of protest. He is a self proclaimed prohet who had an encouter with a Flying Spaghetti n was touched by his "noodly appendage". Totally hilarious take on mocking the whole agenda of Bush & Religion. P.S. If you follow FSM then, in heaven you can find beer volcanoes and strip clubs, the increase in global temperature is due to decrease in number of pirates, this religion is also called "Pastafarirism". Dont miss this read. Too funny.
"Bush and Blair will lick your boots". Hafiz Abdur Rehman Makki is a hardcore islamic propaganda machine in Pakistan supporting them terrorists in the name of "Jihad". I quote "You are saying that the earthquake has occurred because the plates beneath the earth have dislocated. Oh foolish scientists, don't you know that the plates could have never moved without Allah's order?". Need I say more. Check out the saber rattling. His sermons attract lots of people on Fridays it seems. Bunch of lame d**ks who can't think for themselves.
Ihateganguly. This site offers a hate forum to vent your anger. What a bunch of jobless people to actually spend money to buy a domain name. And even more jobless people to post in this shit. But some of the jokes are hilarious.
People magazine has named its "sexiest men alive" list. #1 is Mathew McConaughey of "Sahara" fame. Comparing to the first list which had Mel Gibson as the sexiest man alive, People has again proved to be the industry d**k sucker.
Thats it for now folks, but watch this space. More "All on eyez this" posts now n then.

Moral Policing, Bush and Goverment bashing
Upon request to start posting lyrics and links of songs I've recorded, I gave it careful thought thinking about copyright issues n stuff like that. But what the heck, I'm not some major artist or something. But "a lot of truth is said in jest". So here's my latest offerering called "F the Free World"
Follow this link to hear uncensored version of the song. And below you can find the censored lyrics.(Bad quality .rm file for now..will load mp3 soon)
Follow this link to hear uncensored version of the song. And below you can find the censored lyrics.(Bad quality .rm file for now..will load mp3 soon)
"F the Free World"
Chorus:
F**k the free world I'm going crazy
Cant do anything coz I'm too lazy
Freedom is something that god gave me
Moral police kissed my a$$? Maybe
Fuck the free world I'm kicking some knowledge
to all those who want a new role model
coz this is the true facts,
s**t is serious not somethin to laugh at
Cant do anything coz I'm too lazy
Freedom is something that god gave me
Moral police kissed my a$$? Maybe
Fuck the free world I'm kicking some knowledge
to all those who want a new role model
coz this is the true facts,
s**t is serious not somethin to laugh at
Verse:
what kind of a world do we live where we can't party
dont think I'm a jackass to go n sip bacardi
I'm a spectator to all the s**t people sayin
and they think I'll spectate until they win
no I wont standby and just watch,
all you crazy people fighting for primetime spot,
thse 3 minutes is what is my primetime,
where I'm gonna kick some knowledge from the front line
see the kids turn 16 and become wannabes
and they only place they can go crazy is a party
so wen guys wanna chill they hit the discs
dance drink n probably watch some chicks
and girls like to dance so they come too
n probably run in to a guy they then do it to,
middle of all this are the couples who want space,
coz the moral police is everywhere except this place,
when the press gets to know this they snap them pics,
n splash it across the front page to get more hits,
when people see the bulls**t they say this is madras?
you damn right it is, is it the gandhian era?
but we only narrowing our minds to something new
see as time changes , people change too
what we can do is just ignore this thing
is sleaze something new to hit the public again?
it happens in the daylight, happens in the limelight,
but oh! Its taboo if it hits our life,
so all the people shouting this is someting new,
jus shut up n work, let the kids do wat they do,
they'll learn it when its time,
maybe when they get AIDS they'll start to realise,
they wasted all of it partying all their lives,
now they dont have much left so lets all stop,
and the moral police, f**k them too,
bunch of 19th century dudes in this millinieum
dont know society is changing as young ones are born.
half of India is under 24 years old,
more babies are born as I write this score,
people narrow minded must make it broad,
else your kids will walk out, dont say I didn't warn
talkin about the world, yeah we at war,
but who are we fighting I'm not sure,
sayin islamic terrorists, isnt that a racist
people keep sayin that without even facing,
coz bush hynotized n everyone embraced him
and one day, Indo-American war will rise,
and China will be on our side, n so will the world
bush's succesor will walk a tightrope ,
2020 china a superpower,
India riding under its shadow man
India will never be a superpower man,
when half of its population is under poverty line,
they need jobs n shelter n food to survive,
not computers n electronics Mr.Vajpayee.
and I dont see any change in the new goverment,
they just picking up from where the BJP left,
talkin of the left, f**k the communists too,
they're part of the 19th century dudes,
talkin about home, I'll stear clear,
coz JJ may jail me like she did the seer,
the parties look like they'll keep on fighting,
after everyone of their leaders keep dying.
but the people will still keep buying
all the bulls**t fed to them, I'm not lying,
and the IT industry is looking kinda good,
bringing cheers to a lotta neighbourhoods,
but the fact of the matter still remains,
we just slaves of world, nothing's changed.
when we gonna stand up n fight like Gandhi?
when we got bollywood potrayin a guy like bunty,
the people of India are following fads,
things that dont last long n memories lapse,
but it is a true fact that we didnt act,
and voted leaders who's purse's aint intact,
coz every guy who has money becomes a leader,
and only few make it like APJ's career,
all these prophecies will come true one day,
it will impact our society in more than one way,
but hey, if u belive in following me,
then follow my lead and say...
Chorus(1x)
Exams just 2 days away. Still haven't started studying. Looks like its gonna be the midnight cram as usual. Peace......

Navin Varma the Hip Hop Artist
After being reffered to as a rapper by several individuals, its time I made my postion clear on this. I AM NOT A RAPPER!!! I'd prefer to be called a Rap or Hip-Hop artist. Reference as a rapper genrally creates a an impression that
1.I do drugs
2.I glorify violence
3.I dont give a damn about society and socialising
4.I dont really care about life
5.I'm always behind money and women
6.I treat women like s**t
7.I've been raised as a thug
8.Always quarrel & get into physical fights
Can't think of any more to add to that list. However, I am NONE of the aforementioned. As a Rap artist I wish to pursue the intricacy with which you get to play with words, make them rhyme, sound funny and at the same time make people think about the issues I'm talking about.
I am born into a loving family who provided me with everything I needed. Working my ass off through School and College to securing my future with a good job in the IT industry. And I developed enough skills to get where I am now. So to all those who criticise the rap artists, get a life. These guys had a hard childhood from a harsh neighbourhood and dont have many options. They either hustle their way from the streets selling drugs or they hustle their way into the Hip Hop INDUSTRY. Some artists keep it REAL and do what they gotta do in their life but turn to rap to seek refuge from all the crazy things happening around them in an ever so crazy world. The latter category fo Rap Artists is where I fall in.
So for all those saying, "Hey, meet Navin Varma. He's a rapper" thinking its hip to know a rap artist, you are wrong. And for those who think they're cool always and hate it when someone of higher CQ (cool quotient) comes across (implying moi), I got 3 words for you.
"SCREW YOU HIPPIE"

All on eyez this
Abu Salem admits he was behind Bombay blasts - how convinient. when you know you not going to die, why should he lie. so it makes it easier for him now that we extradited him on conditions. no death penalty. maximum of 25yrs of life which ever comes first. with his money n guns he'll get out legally in about 5 yrs. down with CBI!! down with the Govt. this country is going to dogs.
Narasimha was shown on KTV today. For those who dont know who Vijaykanth is, there is an amazing write-up by Vinod on him.. read up n laugh ur ass off.
Boy band "B5" incites girl frenzy - bloody boy bands are responsible for girls aged 16-20 going insane. To counter this, we should BAN "Boy bands" which have members with age less than 18.
Weird Science. Nice website about how fool' experiments n all weird research is carried out. I ran a weird science search on google and this came up. Its ACTUALLY a scientist n his research. DAMN!!
50 Cent is back in the Hood!! Pics from mtv on how he went to the hood n found out it hasn't changed much. I gotta show some love atleast. I USED to like him.. anyways, interesting read.
After listening to an awesome song called "Spun" by bay area band, Flipsyde, I wanted to find more of their stuff. Unfortunately, not much of their work is online(not incl p2p). So after much search, I found this video stream of their video "Someday". This band sound' are totally a new kind of rap/rock. Watch out for them!!!

"Get Real or Get Lost"
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS A LONNNGGG TIME...THE MASSACRE OF 50 CENT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. NOTE THIS DAY. IT MARKS THE DOWN FALL OF CURTIS "50 CENT" JACKSON.
When this came out, the whole world was up in arms against the so called "violent" Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. "Get Rich or Die Trying" released two days ago and the reviews tell the story the whole rap world's been saying all this while...
As Jadakiss said
"Yeah, you got a felony, but you ain't a predicate
Never the King of New York, you live in Connecticut
This is a true fact
Since when has it become cool to get shot and not shoot back
And I don't got a problem with clout
You ain't get shot again yet, so what's your second album about?
Your raps are pre-school, you made a lot of money, now be cool
'Fore I swell up your lips like seafood
Can I get a mic check? You don't stand a chance
To dance with me dog, ya steps ain't right yet
The block is just fine, the D's straight
Most likely your new CD is a weed plate
Bunch of love songs, 100% pure garbage
Just somethin' to break up buds on
You should just sell clothes and sneakers
Cause outta your whole camp your flow's the weakest
It'll take a lifetime to see 'Kiss
You had to get shot 9 times to be rich"
Here's how a review by Bill White for Seattle Pi reads :

Here's how a review by Bill White for Seattle Pi reads :
All bets are off for Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, whose film debut should get him laughed out of show business. Based on his own trumped-up autobiography, "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " is a disaster on all levels.
The greatest liability is Jackson himself, whose face is as inexpressive as his mumbled lines. The script, hobbling from one narrative inconsistency to the next, runs a close second. Together with cinematographer Declan Quinn, Irish director Jim Sheridan has created an imitation of black urban life that is even less credible than Jackson's poetic gifts.
The story begins with a botched robbery that is followed by, though not connected to, the shooting of gang leader Marcus (Curtis Jackson). As he lies bleeding in the street, his life flashes back across the screen. It is the standard rap sheet: no father, mother deals drugs to feed family, she is murdered, he takes over the family business, discovers his inner soul in prison, and, when trying to break gangsta ties to become a rapper, is threatened by former colleagues.
The cliches are piled on, and when the story catches up to its opening, it is with boredom and despair that we learn Marcus has survived the nine bullets, and another half hour must pass before the movie ends.
The supporting characters are less than stereotypes. Bama (Terrence Howard) is introduced as a trigger-happy killer but turns out to be the good guy. One of the movie's most ludicrous scenes has him saving Marcus' life during a pretentiously posed shower scene in which assailants and victims slip around on soap while knives flash in the steam.
As drug kingpin Levar, Bill Duke is trapped in an execrable Brando / "Godfather" imitation, and the costume department only managed to come up with one wig for Viola Davis to wear throughout her 20-year term as Marcus' grandma.
Even the soundtrack lacks flavor. 50 Cent is as dull in the studio as Curtis Jackson is on the screen. If rap is going to survive, there is some weeding out to be done.
My advice to Mr. Jackson: "Get Real or Get Lost."

Sue my way to Superstardom!!
Recently I came across an interesting news story. A man sued a Furniture Store because coz he got glued to the toilet when he used their restroom. MAN!!! Then it struck me. The whole Indian Penal System sucks when it comes to suing other people. I got this brainwave where I will start suing companies which will shut me up for the negative press.
Now, coming to the list of people. The first one which comes to my mind is Microsoft. I use a perfectly illegal copy of Windows. But exactly before my exams , it crashes and I end up reinstalling the whole thing. So I waste a lot of productive time I could have otherwise used to study. On counts of "bad quality","obstruction of work", I'll sue those b******s. Windows must be made 100% crash proof or taken off the shelf.
Second on my list would be news channels like NDTV & Headlines Today. Every news story that they come up with is classified as "breaking news". Even when a report of a donkey born with 4 heads is shown, its called "breaking news"..
Next on the list of people to sue. Anna University. I've been thro close to four years of their "Bachelor of Engineering : Computer Science". I have not acquired any skills to call myself an engineer. I haven't been allowed to engineer anything. All my money was put into financing the Alcohol expenses of my college chairman. I am not suing the college coz I feel happy they've just they not curbed my freedom unlike Sathyabama. As some professor idiot on TV says "Its all about the system". So Anna University, coz of u, I have become a worthless engineer. On counts of "institutional breakdown","rampant malpractice","no research or engineering work encouraged" and "bad quality of education" I will be a richer man.
Other people on the list include:
1) Hutch - poor quality of signal in my loo. can't send msges while eh...lets skip that. just poor quality of signal.
2) BSNL - a$$*0Ies told me its 2-8am free downloads. I get charged if I connect before 2 and go on. I have to disconnect after 2 and reconnect for it to be free
3) ITC India - they own 87% of tobacco products in India. Yet they sell cigis at different rates. They must streamline cigis and bring them to same rate. No more discrimination
4) Indian Penal Code - bcoz the number of cases I file will reach a judgement 50 years from now. So If I sue them, there will be lots of public interest and within a year, I'll be a richer man.
Bottomline, I'M GONNA BE RICH..............AND FAMOUS

"Yes Vikram....I'm completely amazed that a donkey has been successfully born with 4 heads. It looks very awkward and is attracting a lot of people to Periyapatti. The entire village is shocked...They have never seen this before"Of course the Indian public idiots watch such trash. Only numbskulls like the reporter will go all the way to capture this on camera. Who cares if a donkey with 4 heads or 4 d... eh..ok..bottomline WE DONT CALL THIS S**T BREAKING NEWS. And other news like when somebody is greiving the loss of a loved one, they put a mic in their face and ask them "How do u feel?" What kind of a f***ing answer do they expect? "I'm feeling great."? I'm gonna sue them on account of "anxiety attacks due to graphic images shown","instilling fear by showing blood and gore in the name of journalism while covering bomb attacks". No more blood on News Channels. Period. Leave that to the movies.

MALLU THEORY
"Being a native of Cochin, brought up with a feeling that Kottayam is my home" would have been a good first liner to my autobiography if I HAD lived in Kerala from birth. But I gotta rephrase it as "Being born & brought up in Chennai, often thinking of Kottayam as home and going on to find out my roots were in Cochin was one major bummer".
Ah!! The great pleasure I have in making fun of the sakhavu (conrade) from my native. Ironically, I've come to a weird conclusion. Mallus are the best people in this earth. There is no other community more diverse than us poor souls. Contrary to my initial judgement about mallus, they are actually pretty nice people. (I'm talkin from a third person' view coz I dont have the heart of being a mallu or of a tamil or....I'm of the 'lost identity' tribe)
Mallus are generally nicer to their fellow human beings outside the state of Kerala than in the nativeland. The soul representatives of Mallus all over the world are the "Chai Shops" or the "Juice Shops". Every street in every city in every state will have a chai or juice shop run by mallus. They also sell tobacco products, all kinds of things to munch and authentic Kerala masala tea. I have the privilege of frequenting two such shops in my 'hood. They are really sweet people who allow me to keep account a.k.a credit. I don't need to cough up cash every time I make a visit. I can 'clear' the 'account' when it reaches 'dangerous' levels a.k.a Rs.100,200,300 and so on..
Today night I took a stroll on the beach. I was desperately looking for a pack of stubs. I went to my favorite haunt, JP. It was closed. I went to the next chai shop(run by non-mallus) which I occasionaly go to. I told the guy "I'll pay you first thing in the morning coz I forgot my wallet now". I was humiliated by the guy and sent off with an angry stare. Fortunately, I bumped into my buddies from JP. Even though their shop was closed, he got me a pack of stubs from a shop nearby. He enquired how my diwali went, what I did and all.. After chatting with him for sometime, I realised how proud I am of being a mallu.

So I came back home a happy man. Proud of my mallu roots. Happy that I found a mallu juice shop. Happy on having mallu friends in what I call my hometown, Madras. My theory on why you should and shouldn't be a mallu reads:
Why You Should Be A MALLU:
1) Will have contacts all over the world from San Francisco to Sydney
2) Can keep accounts at any shop run by a Mallu
3) Flaunt or Practice your Malayalam Speaking Skills
4) Share a theri (abusive lang) with your friends in public and have bystanders joining the fun.
5) Get invites to Sadhyas (feast) on every occasion. From marriages or house warming
6) Using N number of permutations and combinations of the above 5 which can be applied in many practical circumstances.

Why You Shouldn't Be A MALLU:
1) Every 2nd person you meet may come up and say "AAhhhh! Enthekke Unda Visesham?!" (Yo! Wats up man?)
2) You'll get arrogant and 'pissin off' answers.
Eg."When's the next bus?" "Go ask those guys in the bus terminus. I got better things to do"
3) You'll have a family function to attend every alternate day.
4) You'll get stuck in a stampede trying to get a seat in a marriage sadhya. Its worse than the theatres..
5) You'll have to remeber the nicknames of a million people.
Eg. Rajan will be called Unni. Soman will also be called Unni. Plus some 100 relatives with the same nickname. If thats not enough, no one cares to update you on the official name of the guy.
6) Using N number of permutations and combinations of the above 5 which can be applied in many practical circumstances.
