Review Of Rich Man, Poor Man By Irwin Shaw
Rich Man, Poor Man is the story of two brothers whose contrasting natures reflect the turmoil of post-war America. Rudy is the rich man - a romantic who would let no one stand between him and success. Tom is the poor man - the black sheep of the family on the run from his violent past. This book has had a strong influence on a lot of youngsters leaving a deep and permanent impression.
The soap that followed is equally good, although it can't be compared with the book.
The casting is just great. Peter Strauss and his portrayal of Rudy is unforgettable and he fits perfectly fits the role. While Nick Nolte is perfect as the rebellious, hyperactive, irresponsible, but emotional Tom.
Arguably one of the finest TV mini-series.
Funny Steve Martin Clip
One of my favorite scenes from the Pink Panther featuring Steve Martin. He combines his comic talent splendidly doing the absurdities of Peter Sellers.
I would like to buy a HAMBURGER.... had me in STITCHES and it still does.
Hridayathin Niramayi From 100 Days Of Love
Hridayathin Niramayi features Dulquer Salmaan [as Balan K Nair or BKN] and Nithya Menon [as Sheela] from the romantic comedy '100 Days of Love'.
Considered to be the most romantic song of 2015 [can't comment on that, although their on-scene chemistry is great].
Response from critics has been phenomenal.

Alouette, Gentille Alouette
"Alouette" is a popular French-Canadian children's song about plucking the feathers from a lark, in retribution for being woken up by its song. Although it is in French, it is well-known among speakers of other languages; in this respect it is similar to "Frère Jacques". Many American doughboys and other Allied soldiers learned the song while serving in France during World War I and took it home with them, passing it on to their children and grandchildren.
Its origin is uncertain, though the most popular theory is that it is French-Canadian. The song was first published in A Pocket Song Book for the Use of Students and Graduates of McGill College (Montreal, 1879). However, Canadian folklorist Marius Barbeau was of the opinion that the song's ultimate origin was France.
Looking back...funnily, in Mallu, we always use to sing this as "Kaalu Vetta, Gentle Ayittu Vettu".... which has a totally different meaning !!...
