HI Bishu
IAm very much interested to meet you.If you want also send me U pics.Hope to be bound together.

All The Best
Badri
Q1. What inspired you to create the music?
There isn't really so much music written about the sea or the oceans, and I think part of the quality of the film is that it's really a world that we haven't seen.
Q2. How does this score differ from others that you have worked on?
It's a unique film score for me... because it was written before the film was constructed.
Q3. What advice would you give to someone looking to compose for films?
The first rule is that you've got to realise that you're part of a collaborative process.
Q4. How do you begin the process of composing a score?
First of all I spot the sequence, and I work out where the music's going to begin and end.
Q5. Do you need formal training to write a film score?
The advent of computers has changed film writing in a very positive way... it's meant that people who don't have a formal training of any sort are able to write film scores.
Q1. What's it like conducting a full symphony orchestra?
The best thing about any session with any orchestra is the feeling of togetherness. Everyone has a role to play.
Q2. What's the difference between working with an orchestra and with session musicians?
You can't really divide a symphony orchestra. If you are working with an orchestra they are family. They live with each other all the time.
Q3. How do you deal with a musician who is struggling?
Everyone on some level is insecure and they thrive on encouragement.

Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2006 15:56:38 -0500
From Shawn Casey:
Hi badri,
Here's my shocking prediction for you...
A year from now, you'll still be in the same
position you are now.
You'll have the same or similar job. You'll
have the same income. You'll have the same
friends.
Nothing will have changed for you.
assuming you want things to change... to
improve... that will really be a shame.
How can I make this shocking prediction?
My experience with thousands of students has
shown me this simple truth: People get stuck
in a rut and it's hard to get out of. It's
hard to make any meaningful change.
BTW - a rut was once scarily described to me
as a 'coffin with the ends cut out!'
In order to change, we have to overcome the
inertia of our current position and we have
to defeat the challenge of family and friends
that often stand in our way. You know when
they spend a lot of time telling us that
we're crazy for following our dreams.
Don't let them steal your dream!
To help you make the changes you're seeking -
to help you get what you want out of life
and business, that's why Jeff Paul, Jim
Fleck and I designed our exclusive membership.
Check this site out now to see how you can get
started for just a single buck and get $1,443
of valuable products and services in return!
===> http://www.internetpromoservices.com/motm
We know that you can't get the information
and know-how you need from talking to your
friends and neighbors. They don't have the
real world experience of success to share
with you.
The only people that can show you the path
to success are those that are already super
successful.
That's why we created this membership - so you
can get access to these life-changing
systems, strategies and solutions. We're
not guessing... we've done it. Our guest
presenters aren't guessing either. They've
done it, too.
I invite you - no, I urge you - to join us
so you can see the difference we can make
for you.
Just give it a try for a week for a single dollar
and you'll be astounded by the results you see.
Check this out now:

Yours in success,
Shawn Casey
.S. I'm serious about this. Don't let another week
(much less a year) pass you by without you taking
some action to make a change in your life!

3. Mirror, mirror on the wall... Hey, that might be
your Inner Writer calling you! A Message from Emily
Seeing yourself as a creative person and a writer is
not as easy matter. But you won't be able to truly
accessing your writer's voice if you don't know that
you are a writer, even if you've never completed or
sold anything.
What follows are some powerful exercises that can help
you, no matter how long you've been writing. It's
especially useful when your Inner Critic gets
aggressive.
* Exercise 1:
Say out loud and as loud as you need to: “I am a
writer.”
If that's easy, go to next step and look at
yourself in the mirror and say with passion and
delight, “I am a writer.”
Repeat until you begin to feel calm with the
words! This simple exercise can be very challenging
but the payoff is huge!
"I am a writer."
* Exercise 2:
Create a ritual for yourself where you truly
honor the writer within. This can be as simple as
finding a quite place, lighting a candle and standing
before it in a prayerful way. Hold your palms pressed
together in front of your heart, bow your head, and
say, "I honor the writer within." Or "I honor myself
as a writer."
If you do this or any other ritual about being a
writer, please write about it and I will print it in
another newsletter and post it to the blog.
* Exercise 3:
The next time somebody asks, “Oh, and what do
you do?” make sure you say, “I write” or “I am a
writer.” This may seem impossibly hard at first. Your
throat might become constricted and you might break
out in a sweat, but go ahead and give it a try. The
more you say it, the easier it gets. The more you say
it, the more you believe it.
And if you're asked, "What are you writing?"
consider this: Few people, even close friends, are
truly interested in what you’re writing. Once you
start telling them, chances are their eyes will soon
glaze over. So when I'm asked what I'm writing about,
unless I know the person is really interested, is
this, "Oh, I never discuss my work in progress." That
usually quiets them.
Then there's the most feared question if people
know you are writer: "What have you had published?
Anything I might know? (Hee, hee, hee...)"
First thing to not only remember but to
completely embrace: you don’t have to be published to
be a writer.
Second, if you're asked what you've had
published and you're not published, tell them the
truth. "Nope, I'm not published yet." Or "I'm not up
to that point yet." Or "I find the publishing route
counterproductive to my writing. You know how it is
today, everything is the bottom line. Simply doesn't
work for me..." If you say such things
matter-of-factly, without fear and shame, the
conversation will most like move on to other subjects
and you will feel good about standing forth for
yourself as a writer. No apologies or defense needed.
* Exercise 4:
Do you put limits on your imagination? Do you
trust your intuition?
Vital to accessing your writer's voice is seeing
the imagination as a rich source of story and
character. I am amazed by the number of people who
believe the lie that we can only write about what we
have experienced. We are writers. We are creative. We
have the key to the vast imaginal world that most
people can access only in their dreams.
When I talk about the imagination, I’m talking
about that which is outside your conscious reality.
I’m talking about the unknown. I’m talking about the
mystery of life. I’m talking about what you might be
able to intuit but don’t yet have words for. I'm
talking about falling down the rabbit hole...
As creative people we are gifted in so many
ways, not the least of which is the cosmic universe of
the unconscious. You couldn't explore it all in ten
lifetimes!
Reclaim your creativity
Believe in the power of your imagination.
Trust your intuition and don't let the outer world
define you!
If you would like to reprint Mirror, mirror on the
wall... Hey, that might be your Inner Writer calling
you!, you may, so long as you include this
biographical information and let me know where you are

writer, please write about it and I will print it in
another newsletter and post it to the blog.
* Exercise 3:
The next time somebody asks, “Oh, and what do
you do?” make sure you say, “I write” or “I am a
writer.” This may seem impossibly hard at first. Your
throat might become constricted and you might break
out in a sweat, but go ahead and give it a try. The
more you say it, the easier it gets. The more you say
it, the more you believe it.
And if you're asked, "What are you writing?"
consider this: Few people, even close friends, are
truly interested in what you’re writing. Once you
start telling them, chances are their eyes will soon
glaze over. So when I'm asked what I'm writing about,
unless I know the person is really interested, is
this, "Oh, I never discuss my work in progress." That
usually quiets them.
Then there's the most feared question if people
know you are writer: "What have you had published?
Anything I might know? (Hee, hee, hee...)"
First thing to not only remember but to
completely embrace: you don’t have to be published to
be a writer.
Second, if you're asked what you've had
published and you're not published, tell them the
truth. "Nope, I'm not published yet." Or "I'm not up
to that point yet." Or "I find the publishing route
counterproductive to my writing. You know how it is
today, everything is the bottom line. Simply doesn't
work for me..." If you say such things
matter-of-factly, without fear and shame, the
conversation will most like move on to other subjects
and you will feel good about standing forth for
yourself as a writer. No apologies or defense needed.
* Exercise 4:
Do you put limits on your imagination? Do you
trust your intuition?
Vital to accessing your writer's voice is seeing
the imagination as a rich source of story and
character. I am amazed by the number of people who
believe the lie that we can only write about what we
have experienced. We are writers. We are creative. We
have the key to the vast imaginal world that most
people can access only in their dreams.
When I talk about the imagination, I’m talking
about that which is outside your conscious reality.
I’m talking about the unknown. I’m talking about the
mystery of life. I’m talking about what you might be
able to intuit but don’t yet have words for. I'm
talking about falling down the rabbit hole...
As creative people we are gifted in so many
ways, not the least of which is the cosmic universe of
the unconscious. You couldn't explore it all in ten
lifetimes!
Reclaim your creativity
Believe in the power of your imagination.
Trust your intuition and don't let the outer world
define you!
If you would like to reprint Mirror, mirror on the
wall... Hey, that might be your Inner Writer calling
you!, you may, so long as you include this
biographical information and let me know where you are
posting. Please include the following information:

Some Poems from Nepal
The Body – a building
Upon me a building is there
Standing erects-a body indeed.
Buildings of course are there in countless numbers
Standing erect by lanes, yards, roads and cross-roads
With a sink here and a flower-garden there,
And ah arid land here and a greenery there
Among which stands this building-
This body indeed.
Windowed it is
Trussed it is
Roofed it is
And attached to it is a courtyard in front.
The windows are such
As are opened sometimes
The windows are such
As are closed sometimes.
Yes there is
A building standing upon me
Erect indeed.
2
All you
I myself do not know
Why I came to break down,
Why my balance I lost today
While walking along.
Wherever and howsoever far I go
And wherever and howsoever fast I run
I do not get anywhere.
I wonder why.
People say I’m their friend
But theirs I have never been able to be.
Really none I have ever been able to become-
Neither a good son, nor a good husband,
Nor any one practical I could ever be.
So to say, till today
I have never been able to be my ‘own self ‘.
All because
The snake-like spiteful attitudes keep stinging me
I have never been able to be in ease.
3
Helplessness
Such a mind of mine
That never stays with me
How can I understand?
Such a mind of mine
That drifts away from me
To catch hold of the rainbow
How can I hold!
Such a desire of mine
That strays far beyond
Leaving me along
To amuse itself
How can I claim as mine!
So disabled I have become that
I may better be likened to a dried up tree
With a sense wriggling though
Somewhere within
Of the season mild, the spring.
Laugh I can neither,
Weep nor I can;
Even assert myself I can not do my all.
This is the rule indeed of life
Never to be intelligible to me.
Not to my liking though
My mind always roams
Everywhere around.
So helpless I am!
4
New Year and my life
At every turning point
In every differing circumstance
In every different time
I have put my life at auction
To be sell it anyhow
At it has failed to be sold out so far.
Ever in a hurry
Fleeing and running
It has all become a mess-
A disordered lot.
In the course of finding the senses in living
I have fixed its price by myself
In the manner the second-hand books
Stacked in the streets
Are generally priced.
Unable to catch up with a time,
Date-expired before the expiry date
And decayed long before it is time as I am,
I have compromised with myself
And change the life
Wishing it good,
With enthusiasm fresh and new
Along with the arrival of the new spring.
It has changed along with the change of new calendar.
5
REVOLUTION
Revolution comes
At the call of Time.
No, not for anyone’s interest
Nor for anyone’s wish
It so comes.
The songs it sings expand on
Just as the dreams open on.
The steps a revolutionary takes
Move along
Framing a history new.
The old traditions then go down
Pulling down the roads and buildings
And the towers tall.
And the New Age dawns
As a creation new.
So the revolution comes
At the call of Time.
6
My Diary
The pages of my diary
Have my one by one been filled
And gone of turning over.
The times have passed and gone into oblivion
Changing into days and years.
Some dreams have proved to be dreams
While some have turned to be reality
When the pages of my diary have gone
Torn up to pieces.
I am on my part
Being buried
Under the burden of the letters of my own diary
Being pressed down more and more.
Neither any relative I have
Nor any vision so clear;
Why I don’t know for sure
Anything new has stopped
Being recorded
In my diary.
And I find my diary
No longer of any value.
7
The stream
How much pure and transparent
A stream is
That coming out of a source
Gushes forth breaking boulders!
I wonder why
Man has failed to become as good as a stream.
Ascending the ascent
Descending the descent
The stream always flows on
Night and day
Non-stop
Moment by moment.
Along the sand-banks
And along the breaking waves
On it flows.
A stream as it is
Flowing it goes on,
Making no assertion that
Flowing it has to do,
Nor making any complain of aching
It has to go through.
I wonder why
Man has failed to become to good as a stream.
8
At dawn
When I awake
Early in the morning
Along with the dawning rays,
I find in me
A briskly rainbow
Causing me to awake,
Ringing like a song,
And waving like a story
Hailing a day all renewed
Carrying a story fresh and new.
In my courtyard
Always arrives the morning early
Glittering hurriedly
Along with the dew-drops.
I too do always awaits
That morning due-
The night indeed I never liked.
9
What is life?
Life is short living
But this living short is not for any losing
Nor for any winning to make.
So too-
It is neither for selling
Nor for being sold.
Life of course is no other than
Keeping on moving.
But here-
some one is losing
and some one is winning,
and some one is selling
and some one is being sold.
Why?
The question is mine.
Since difference is there
Between man and man
Why does the definition of life change?
Why?
An answer I do not get.
10
The Portrait
People these days present themselves in portraits
Even trampling philosophy their own
By coloring it with any sort
Of difficulties, agonies and grievances.
With no faith
And so enthusiasm also
For any ‘golden’ life to entertain
They have been distancing themselves
From their own kind.
They have become such as shut their eyes.
To shun the sight of any sort of progress
Made by whosoever he may be
Not agitated by any agitation
And not vacillated by any vacillation willfully caused so.
Some such other persons, however, are there
Who within themselves are drawing with pens of hope
Their portraits of future
Bearing the identity of the present.
11
A blow
How much a blow aches
Only a sufferer knows.
So how much deep uneasiness is
In your eyes
Only me
None but me is able to see
Only me is able to perceive.
Have only patience to wait
Time will come
When everything will be all right
Because in the course of changing of time
The pain will change
And change in to other form.
Certainly of course
The pain will then change into happiness
12
Before the Volcano Erupts
I am looking at myself
Closely
At my own reality
Living helplessly.
At my life I am looking
Turning it this way
And turning it that way
To find me and me alone
In every day
In every deed
In every result
In every time
And in every progress
To find at long last
Nothing but a living corpse
I have become.
When on the faces of my relatives
And in the eyes of those related
I find myself
Just as a machine man
With results nothing none beforehand
But with a fare struck nothing
That all these activities all in disorders
Brewing the in others just as in me
Something like a state
That prevails
Before a volcano erupts.

Along with the dawning rays,
I find in me
A briskly rainbow
Causing me to awake,
Ringing like a song,
And waving like a story
Hailing a day all renewed
Carrying a story fresh and new.
In my courtyard
Always arrives the morning early
Glittering hurriedly
Along with the dew-drops.
I too do always awaits
That morning due-
The night indeed I never liked.

What is life?
Life is short living
But this living short is not for any losing
Nor for any winning to make.
So too-
It is neither for selling
Nor for being sold.
Life of course is no other than
Keeping on moving.
But here-
some one is losing
and some one is winning,
and some one is selling
and some one is being sold.
Why?
The question is mine.
Since difference is there
Between man and man
Why does the definition of life change?
Why?
An answer I do not get.

The Portrait
People these days present themselves in portraits
Even trampling philosophy their own
By coloring it with any sort
Of difficulties, agonies and grievances.
With no faith
And so enthusiasm also
For any ‘golden’ life to entertain
They have been distancing themselves
From their own kind.
They have become such as shut their eyes.
To shun the sight of any sort of progress
Made by whosoever he may be
Not agitated by any agitation
And not vacillated by any vacillation willfully caused so.
Some such other persons, however, are there
Who within themselves are drawing with pens of hope
Their portraits of future
Bearing the identity of the present.
11
A blow
How much a blow aches
Only a sufferer knows.
So how much deep uneasiness is
In your eyes
Only me
None but me is able to see
Only me is able to perceive.
Have only patience to wait
Time will come
When everything will be all right
Because in the course of changing of time
The pain will change
And change in to other form.
Certainly of course
The pain will then change into happiness
12
Before the Volcano Erupts
I am looking at myself
Closely
At my own reality
Living helplessly.
At my life I am looking
Turning it this way
And turning it that way
To find me and me alone
In every day
In every deed
In every result
In every time
And in every progress
To find at long last
Nothing but a living corpse
I have become.
When on the faces of my relatives
And in the eyes of those related
I find myself
Just as a machine man
With results nothing none beforehand
But with a fare struck nothing
That all these activities all in disorders
Brewing the in others just as in me
Something like a state
That prevails
Before a volcano erupts.

Some Poems from Nepal
The Body – a building
Upon me a building is there
Standing erects-a body indeed.
Buildings of course are there in countless numbers
Standing erect by lanes, yards, roads and cross-roads
With a sink here and a flower-garden there,
And ah arid land here and a greenery there
Among which stands this building-
This body indeed.
Windowed it is
Trussed it is
Roofed it is
And attached to it is a courtyard in front.
The windows are such
As are opened sometimes
The windows are such
As are closed sometimes.
Yes there is
A building standing upon me
Erect indeed.

All you
I myself do not know
Why I came to break down,
Why my balance I lost today
While walking along.
Wherever and howsoever far I go
And wherever and howsoever fast I run
I do not get anywhere.
I wonder why.
People say I’m their friend
But theirs I have never been able to be.
Really none I have ever been able to become-
Neither a good son, nor a good husband,
Nor any one practical I could ever be.
So to say, till today
I have never been able to be my ‘own self ‘.
All because
The snake-like spiteful attitudes keep stinging me
I have never been able to be in ease.
3
Helplessness
Such a mind of mine
That never stays with me
How can I understand?
Such a mind of mine
That drifts away from me
To catch hold of the rainbow
How can I hold!
Such a desire of mine
That strays far beyond
Leaving me along
To amuse itself
How can I claim as mine!
So disabled I have become that
I may better be likened to a dried up tree
With a sense wriggling though
Somewhere within
Of the season mild, the spring.
Laugh I can neither,
Weep nor I can;
Even assert myself I can not do my all.
This is the rule indeed of life
Never to be intelligible to me.
Not to my liking though
My mind always roams
Everywhere around.
So helpless I am!
4
New Year and my life
At every turning point
In every differing circumstance
In every different time
I have put my life at auction
To be sell it anyhow
At it has failed to be sold out so far.
Ever in a hurry
Fleeing and running
It has all become a mess-
A disordered lot.
In the course of finding the senses in living
I have fixed its price by myself
In the manner the second-hand books
Stacked in the streets
Are generally priced.
Unable to catch up with a time,
Date-expired before the expiry date
And decayed long before it is time as I am,
I have compromised with myself
And change the life
Wishing it good,
With enthusiasm fresh and new
Along with the arrival of the new spring.
It has changed along with the change of new calendar.

REVOLUTION
Revolution comes
At the call of Time.
No, not for anyone’s interest
Nor for anyone’s wish
It so comes.
The songs it sings expand on
Just as the dreams open on.
The steps a revolutionary takes
Move along
Framing a history new.
The old traditions then go down
Pulling down the roads and buildings
And the towers tall.
And the New Age dawns
As a creation new.
So the revolution comes
At the call of Time.

My Diary
The pages of my diary
Have my one by one been filled
And gone of turning over.
The times have passed and gone into oblivion
Changing into days and years.
Some dreams have proved to be dreams
While some have turned to be reality
When the pages of my diary have gone
Torn up to pieces.
I am on my part
Being buried
Under the burden of the letters of my own diary
Being pressed down more and more.
Neither any relative I have
Nor any vision so clear;
Why I don’t know for sure
Anything new has stopped
Being recorded
In my diary.
And I find my diary
No longer of any value.
7
The stream
How much pure and transparent
A stream is
That coming out of a source
Gushes forth breaking boulders!
I wonder why
Man has failed to become as good as a stream.
Ascending the ascent
Descending the descent
The stream always flows on
Night and day
Non-stop
Moment by moment.
Along the sand-banks
And along the breaking waves
On it flows.
A stream as it is
Flowing it goes on,
Making no assertion that
Flowing it has to do,
Nor making any complain of aching
It has to go through.
I wonder why
Man has failed to become to good as a stream.
