@alien_987 I hope Sai is trying to carve a niche for himself and not trying to take it forward from someone else. Being compared to other artists, especially the ones they grew up admiring, is an artist’s worst nightmare. Let them be!
@alien_987 And being an astute fan of Ani, since his musical inception, you can see the proof of the pudding inevitably in his first 4 films itself (before even considering what he did in Kaththi), which flipped the script of Tamil film music’s sounding.
flow state. that scene in f1 when brad was flying. in whiplash, when miles teller was one with drums. when time slows down and you are operating at a frequency beyond thought. you are no longer making something, you are simply the conduit through which it comes into being

ABSOLUTE CINEMA IN SYDNEY. 🍿
- Sam Konstas involved in an argument with Bumrah.
- Bumrah removed Khawaja on the last ball.
- Team India totally fired up.
- Bumrah gives an ice cold stare to Konstas after the wicket. 🥶

MUST READ. A not talked about enough high of @ashwinravi99's career, but one that's my most favorite.
Ashwin is the only Indian bowler in history to breach the colossal 900+ ICC Test Rating Points barrier. 904 at his peak in 2016.
ICC Rating Points define sustained excellence: a measure of how untouchable you were at your peak. Between Nov 5, 2015 & Dec 8, 2016, Ashwin unleashed a reign of terror unmatched in Indian cricket history.
In just 15 Tests, Ash decimated batters, claiming 102 wickets at an outrageous 18.22 average, with a strike rate of 40 & racking up 12 five-wicket hauls. He wasn't done! With the bat, he hammered 612 runs at 43.71, including two centuries in the Caribbean while batting at No. 6. This all-round carnage crowned him the World’s No.1 All-Rounder.
Batting Average: 43.71
Bowling Average: 18.22
HOW. ABOUT. THAT?
Even in T20Is, he was GOLDUST: 27 wickets, 15.62 average, 6.29 economy, 14.8 strike rate. ODIs? Barely played. But it didn’t even matter.
Here’s the kicker though: 2016 was prime Kohli too. He was a monster, a King Kong.
Tests: 1215 runs at 76
ODIs: 739 runs at 92.3
T20Is: 641 runs at 106.8
That year, Kohli was King Kong. But Ash was an absolute Godzilla.
I have so many special moments from Ash's career. But him having this titanic 2016 & usurping THE VIRAT FUCKIN KOHLI when Kohli was in his prime & winning the UNDISPUTED ICC CHAMPIONSHIP BELT will be right there at the top! Cheeka style la solnum na, 'VIRAT KOHLI MACHAN. MARAKADHA NEENU!'
That year, it wasn’t a contest: it was a clash of the titans. Godzilla vs Kong. Kong roared, but Godzilla ruled.
This was the post match interview. Atherton asked all this after India were down 0-3 IN England
Imagine Rohit trying to answer such questions after getting whitewashed 0-3 AT HOME
Heartbreaking news from EY Pune - a young CA succumbed to the work pressure and nobody from EY even attended her funeral - this is so appalling and nasty!!!
