The Internet has made our world a small place to live. Information is quickly spread across the world in matter of seconds. Everyone wants to establish their presence on the web - be it for business or for personal purposes. Even a new born baby is expected to have a web site of its own.
While the world has become a small place, the list of Web hosts has become immense. Some good, some not so good at all. There is definitely no dearth of web hosts. The real difficulty is in finding the right web host satisfying your requirements, and perhaps more importantly, your budget. While some hosts are suitable for static HTML pages, they may not be so for dynamic pages (PHP, ASP, etc). You may have a web application that requires a Windows server rather than Linux server. Sometimes you want to host your own full blown E-Commerce solution.
A web host suitable for one situation may be a very bad choice in another. This is where a hosting guide comes into picture, helping you find the right kind of host for your needs and budget. Go through various categories of hosts and their reviews. And while you are at it, also learn the nuances of web hosting. And make an informed decision!
Here it is. The music album of the most expected movie of the year. Or perhaps even this decade, what with Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pairing up for the first time and with Shankar and Rahman to boot. Endhiran is bound to be a whopper, even bigger than Sivaji and Dasavatharam. And let’s not forget Sun Pictures. Everyone’s talking Endhiran. The Shankar - Rahman duo have produced amazing music in the past. Will that continue? Let’s crank up the volume and get on with it….

Pudhiya Manidha
(S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, A.R. Rahman, Khathija Rahman)
S.P.B has sung the first song, of course. A very different kind of song for S.P.B, in recent times, with lots of techno music and snazzy rhythms. Keeping with the theme of the movie, the song starts with robotic rendition of the lyrics in tandem with S.P.B’s voice. The huge surprise is Khathija, Rahman’s daughter, who has sung exceptionally well in a soulful manner, eclipsing her father who has also sung in the song. The lyrics give praise to robot, made from silicon and having an indestructible body - the new man - come to do good to humanity, always. After the initial two minutes, it’s S.P.B all the way with amazing voice modulation. Great intro to ‘Endhiran’
Kadhal Anukkal
(Vijay Prakash, Shreya Ghoshal)
Awesome humming and singing from Vijay Prakash combines with excellent music and lyrics to bring a wonderful song. The “Oh Baby” part really sets the pulse racing and the quick change in music after that has been done very well. Shreya has done well, but given her standards, one would have expected more. Perfect guitar strumming and the bagpipes in the background and the poetic lyrics combine in synergy to make this the best song of the album. Sure to become a chart buster.
Irumbilae Oru Idhayam
(AR Rahman, Kash’n'Krissy)
Two songs sung by Rahman in a single album. Does it get any better? Another true “Endhiran” song with really stirring lyrics and music. The song has a heavy dose of English lyrics and brings out a situation where a robot gets emotional / romantic feelings - the heart made of iron feeling emotion. Rap from Kash’n'Krissy is refreshing and is slow paced enough to be enjoyed by Tamil audience. Though the song would probably not be taken up as much as the other songs, should be interesting to see the song’s picturization and how the robot emotions have been captured.
Chitti Dance Showcase
(Pradeep Vijay, Pravin Mani, Yogi B)
Excellent combination of western rap, techno music and classical singing. Rahman has used percussion liberally in this song. Drums take over and quickly give way to violin. The transition where the music slows done and then picks up again gives the song a great finish. Short and sweet, but the loud music at times does make you glad that it was short.
Arima Arima
(Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam, Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer)
Three of my favorite male singers in one song. Got me excited even before I started listening. Awesome drums in the beginning with the excellent baritone voices singing the praise of “Endhiran” - wow! Hariharan has done an exceptional job, keeping the up with the music. Chorus from Benny and Naresh carries the majestic spirit. Sadhana’s humming is splendid. But the real winner is the stirring music! Majestic rhythms and royal lyrics make this the song to listen, and watch - knowing Shankar, this is going to be a visual treat!
Kilimanjaro
(Javed Ali, Chinmayi)
True to the title, has African tribal feel with tribal chants. While I love Javed Ali’s singing, his rendition of the lyrics in this song comes out odd and brings out his obvious discomfort with the language. The drums that run throughout the song add to the overall feel. A song removed from the rest of the album. While other songs are full of the now established “Endhiran” feel, this one could have been in any Rahman album.
Boom Boom Robo Da
(Yogi B, Keerthi Sagathia, Swetha Mohan, Tanvi Shah)
Seems like an extension to Chitti Chitti Showcase. The same techno rhythms and music as most of the album. The rap lyrics was interesting to listen to, especially the description of robot.
Seven absolutely Rahmanic songs. Kadhal Anukkal and Arima Arima are bound to be instant hits. Kilimanjaro will probably pick up steam down the line. It is slightly disappointing that few of the songs have the same feel, even similar music ( Newton has been disturbed a lot!) Only slightly though, after all, we have seven songs instead of the usual five or six.
If there is one thing that Shankar can do, it is doing justice to songs in his movies. The picturization of Arima Arima is the one to watch out for. The stage is set for the grand release of Endhiran. The music will keep us occupied until then, and of course, even after.
