Jackie Chan

Hello good morning friends


Yesterday i saw Jackie Chan movie. i was luxuriated in with his stunts and his comic actions. So i Wanted to sketch him with my wand. So i got into Google and got one of his picture. With that i made a quick sketch. The pictures are here. Plz do tell your Comments.

Born in 1954, Chan Kong-Sang (meaning born in Hong Kong), Jackie was the only son of Charles and Lee-lee Chan, who were very poor and worked for the French ambassador to Hong Kong. Charles was a cook and a handyman, while Lee-Lee worked as a housekeeper. Jackie's parents had no money to pay for the surgery bills and had to borrow from friends and relatives, refusing the offer from the lady doctor who delivered him to 'adopt' him.

At 7, Jackie's parents moved to Australia to work. Being a naturally energetic boy, Jackie was enrolled in Yu Jim Yuen's Training Academy to study Peking Opera. It was a grueling process, where they had to wake up at five in the morning and turned in late at night. They spent most of their time learning acrobatics, martial arts , acting and putting on face make-up and minimal time on formal lessons. Jackie had said life in the Peking Opera School was tough, where one can easily get beaten up by Master Yu if one did not train hard enough or were naughty. Separate interviews with Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Mars (though not from the same school) also echoed that Peking Opera Training is extremely tough. Together with Sammo And Biao, the three were part of the Famous Seven Little Fortunes troupe. Jackie was to spend 10 years at the Opera School some sort like an apprentice learning an elusive skill, one which will put him in good stead for his superstar future.



With the decline of Peking Opera, Jackie entered the film industry in 1971 to work as an extra or stuntman.


Thank you

SIVAJI - THe BOSS

Sivaji: The Boss (Tamil: சிவாஜி) is a Tamil language film, directed by noted director, S. Shankar. It stars Rajinikanth, Shriya Saran, Vivek and Suman in the lead roles with Nayantara, Manivannan, Raghuvaran and Shankar himself in other pivotal roles. The movie was subsequently dubbed into the Telugu language and released. The film's score and soundtrack was written by acclaimed composer, A. R. Rahman, with lyrics from four lyricists. The film, prior to release, gave rise to great expectations due to the number of high-profile artists involved with its creation. The post-production stage was completed towards the end of March and an official trailer was released late in May 2007. The movie was released on June 15, 2007 in approximately 2,900 theatres in 47 countries,[5] after several postponements, and has opened to rave reviews.


The film re-wrote several Indian box-office records prior to release. It is the costliest production to date with 102 crores; a title previously held by the 2002 Bollywood film, Devdas which cost 100 crore rupees. The lead actor Rajinikanth became the highest paid actor in India, receiving 20 crore rupees for his role in the movie

That z enough with the information about Sivaji........................


The entry of Our Super star was excellent and the first half was full enjoyment and didnt score much.

But the second half was perfect rajini score and the re- entry is very good. His appearance was too good .

The songs have come out very well. A.R.R (King of Music ) Proved himself . Picturisation was really good.

If i rate the song

* Athiradi
* sahara
*oru koodai
* sivaji
* kaveri

the settings and costumes have been taken care marvellously throughout the film.

TOtally a commercial film for Rajini himself ......................................................

Vivek has done his job perfectly .................................

ALl have contributed more.

But they cud have reduced so much good artists in small role any way the film is going to b a hit

WELL Done SHankar. And AVM has done their best in spending .Given grand and mind blowing settings ..................................................................

BOTTOMLINE: hai buddy sivaji is COOL.........................

these are my opinion ...................... Pardon me if there are any mistakes.........................

and let me know

The essence of my life


Music.Music.Music Itz my passion. For me music is everything.

Music in others mind:

Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed through time. Elements of sound as used in music are pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture.

How i got this interest:

From my childhood i used to sing all cine scores and slogas, in a perfect tone. When the film Bombay was released, i was fascinated by the song "uyire uyire". I heard that song a couple of times and i was happy practicing it as i was a bit difficult pitch for that age to cope up with. Once my grandpa(a great, famous, noble doctor ) found my talent when i sang the song along with the video of that song. He told that he was amazed to see my talent and the next day he put me into a class for learning music. At that age i used to sing but didnt know the value of learning it. But i learnt for 2 years and then left that. After six months my mom took me to a music teacher who taught me music for more that 5 years . During these years, i shaped my voice to a bearable one and learnt some techniques in singing. In the meanwhile i was one in the quoir in my school from 6th standard to 11th std. Due to the board exams i left my classes to concentrate more in studies and i left the quoir also for the same reason.

When i entered my college, I participated in intra college competition. Among 300 to 400 students i was selected in one among the best 10. But i lost in the finals. I recognised my talent on that stage.
Thus my passion and interest in music was developed.

According to me music is something which is with me always in pain and also in happiness.

Not only singing:

Listening to music , playing keyboard and violin are also the fields i want to do more.
My people..................

I have a set of people who are fond of my music. They encourage me and motivate me to do work on that so that i cud excel some day. I love them.

I consider them precious , becoz in my music career i have been given only constant discouragements from some set of people .


Anyway Music is my everything and itz my life. I want to become a playback singer i want show the world my talent.

Adore music . lose pain

Photography


I wanted to know more about photography so this blog. Photography is an art which enable people to capture the events or even loved ones still in their hands. Very technically,Itz definition is as follows,

Photography
is the process of recording pictures by means of capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects expose a sensitive chemical or electronic medium during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically.


First of all i share my ideas on this field. Then i will provide u friends with a bung of links wic tell u all about photography.

Taking snap for a passport , or for a license is also an art and flicking the poses of models is also an art and painting a live picture with kinds of brushes and paints is also a part of photography (see only paintings were used as photographs in older days. i have seen so many such paintings).

The word comes from the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφίς graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή graphê ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo.

The two kinds of photography that i have heard are black and white and color. According to me, the perfection/talent in this art can easily reach everyone through black and white photos. i didnt mean that color photography doesnt. it tells about the talent of a photographer with that technology............................

some of the flicks i did are here.

Comment on them plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................
