Reusing the music...

I just realized that "Yaara Yaara" from "Hum Tum" and "Chanda Chamke" from "Fanaa" has same music. Jatin Lalit reused the same music in 2 years... I don't know if that would count as plagiarism?

Though, I have numerous instances where a piece of music from earlier bollywood songs have used as main theme music in later movies. In fact, most of movies from Yash camp have reference to music from earlier movies but this much more common. This is first time that I have discovered an instance where music is same.

BTW, here is the original for recent hit "Pehli Nazar" from Race. Those who want to sing along this number "Sarang Hae Yo" from "Kim Hyung Sup", here are the lyrics... (I can't translate)

From The Horse's Mouth

Here you have, from the horse's mouth, enough clues to tell you what happened behind the curtains. It is very obvious, at least to me, that it is a case of deliberate distribution of nuclear weapons by a sovereign state. I also think that USA knew it all along about "America's Best Ally on War on Terror". Only when things went out of hand, US forced them to admit it and they made him an scapegoat. Scientist generally act in best interests of their nation. It is only the politicians who screw it up.

Forrest Gump

Just finished watching Forrest Gump on TBSHD. Tom Hanks' acting is just superb. He doesn't speak much (except narrative) but the emotions are so clearly reflected... It is just awesome... I have seen this movie multiple times... and every time to the end... It is one of my all time best...

Do you believe this?

I can't believe the words coming from US diplomats, Rice and Bush. This article analyzes it in detail and I agree with most of what is written there. It is strange that growing corn prices are attributed to India, though, as I understand India consumes much less corn and our primary diet consists of rice and wheat. Corn is being increasingly used for biofuels and the money there is more than money on grain itself. Given that the size of arable land in world is limited and probably decreasing every year, spending valuable grain to produce energy is probably waste of an important resource. You can't grow grain in ocean... for now, that is. Until such innovations are possible, grain should be used more intelligently. India is a net exporter of grain so making these statements proves nothing. US needs to stop the dictatorship attitude that it has.

Edit: The data shows different reality... US consumption is about 1 ton per capita with an increase of 11% last year while Indian consumption is 0.15 ton per capita with an increase of 2% last year. And, US is still crying foul!!!... Looks like some people never get it... with oil threatening to touch $200, corn will probably follow similar trend...

Edit: Putting things in right perspective...

The New India: Part 2...

Here is another example about the new India... It is pity that mere 27 story building is being termed as skyscraper... still a long way to go...
