  To lighten a tired evening after a long day, to divert our thoughts from a sad feeling or to simply sit back and enjoy on a nice afternoon, F.R.I.E.N.D.S has always been there for us. A perfect mix of fun, friendship, heartbreak and romance, the show celebrates its 25 th anniversary today (22.09.2019). From teaching us Unagi (A state of total awareness) to giving us the perfect Trifle recipe, nothing has ever been a Moo point with F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Yes, the same music that usually makes us change the channel (before our mom hears!!) I basically love movies with underdogs breaking the stigmas and making it to the top. Now take that concept and add a fusion of our local flavour with the rich traditional Carnatic music and Indian casteism (a safe play by Rajiv Menon). This is Sarvam thaala mayam in a nutshell. Rajiv Menon questions many ...

Remembering the legend on his birthday - A.R.Rahman. Though his contributions can’t be listed in a single day. Here’s five of my most favourite moments from him, the moments which I think worked largely because of the music. The moments, which has music at its soul. Pure unadulterated lust Movie: O Kaadhal Kanmani Aadhi wants to leave Taara in her hostel as soon as possible, as he fears something might happen, due to the increasing sensuality between them. But Taara pushes him by asking what will happen. As Aadhi answers she pushes further, thus his answer gradually moves from a possibility of a hug to possibility of him getting pulled into her room. With every answer increasing desire, she finally pulls him into her room. Until then the initial mild portion of ‘Naanea varugirean’ plays out in the background. As they finally get inside, the shot cuts to the mirror with a blurred refection of them and there it starts. The music elevates with the lyric ‘Chinnanc...
