Website Review: www.womens-clothing.biz

posted by admin

Looks can be deceiving and this is what came in mind when I first browsed this Women’s Clothing website. This aims to cater to all the clothing needs of a woman – right from jeans, intimate apparel, sportswear, dresses for occasions and even a whole selection of accessories like scarves, jackets and coats. In addition to this, the variety within these headings is quite vast in itself with several styles, colors, sizes etc. available for each garment on display that the visitors are free to choose from quite a huge variety of clothing for every kind of occasion.

 

There is every type of garment which women actually wear throughout the day. However, the extremely simple and uncomplicated interface eludes the casual buyer. This is so because there is not much content on the homepage save for the indexes and lists which broadly categorizes the type of garments that the site offers to its customers. But if they prod inside even in one of them, a whole range of clothes come up on display. The visitors can then easily add them to the shopping cart and place an order. This simplicity is enough to make Women’s Clothing a really helpful and resourceful web site.

Music Review : Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

Director: Kunal Kohli

Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi

Putting efforts and into good music albums has become a rarity these days with more funds into publicity. But Kunal Kohli belongs to this rare breed of film makers who just cannot do without great sound in their movies. So with the fun-filled and melodious tracks of Thoda Pyaar, he scores yet again.

Carrying the baton this time is the hit music director trio, Shankar , Ehsaan and Loy who have proved their skill time and again with bunty and babli, Kal ho Naa Ho and Taare Zameen Par. With new sound in the tracks, they have carved a new milestone. Together with the accomplished Prasoon Joshi providing his soulful lines, they sure have delivered.

The first track Pyaar Ke Liye is a smooth and calm song with beauty in its vocals sung by Shankar Mahadevan. Though its not as catchy, it serves as a good background filler. Then comes the loud and catchy bhangra song to move you into the groove ñ Nihal Ho Gayi. This song is filled with Prasoonís fantastic lyrical ability and Shankarís tunes who seems to do as good a job as he did in Kajra re and Rock n Roll Soniye.

This is followed by the cheerful and vivacious Bulbula sung beautifully by Sunidhi Chauhan. Prasoon again adds a dose of energy to make it chirpier with his lines. Beetey Kal Se server to teach a positive lesson to the younger ones in the film and with Shreya Goshalís, child singer Snehaís sweet vocals and Praoonís magical poetry, the song hits its mark.

The song, Lazy Lamhe, is the most infectious song with its high-spirited music and lively presense. The song hints at the Musical trioís superb capability at the job.

The conclusion is that the crew scores with the beautiful music in the album.

Music review: Jaane Tu ya Jaane Naa

posted by admin

Movie: Jaane Tu ya Jaane Naa

Producer: Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan

Director: Abbas Tyrewala

Starring: Imraan Khan, Genelia Dsouza with many special appearances

Music: A R Rahman

Lyrics: Abbas Tyrewala

A.R Rahman seems to have delivered yet another modern and contemproray music album with Jaane Tu. A year ago, this seemed unlikely and the music was not doing well but then Aamir stepped in and the troubles vanished. He made a few changes and now Jaane Tu might cash in nicely. He replace Himesh with A.R. Rahman, the best of course and needless to say, he did the right thing. 

Rahman might not have given the same sounds as in the royal Jodha Akbar, but then this film is a light hearted comedy based around the lives of a few college friends. Nevertheless, he has given us a truly refreshing experience with his latest work after Ada, another soulful album.

The trademarks of Rahman, style and classy tunes are abundant in all the tracks with lots of retro guitar fills and interludes. This adds a certain degree of modernism. The best example is the ultra chic and melodious song, Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi. The catchy tunes and brilliant singing make the song beautiful. It is funky and the guitar fills adds rhythm and mood to the song. Rashid Aliís singing are a breath of fresh air!

Then the peppy Pappu Cant Dance song is another well composed piece with intense drumming and some really inventive rythms and Abbasí nonsensical lyrics the pupose being fun and masti. Close listening will reveal the carefully composed song which seems plain to average ears. Guitar riffs in this one are also awesome. Kahin To Hogi Ho is a signature Rahman track which is absolutely enchanting and meaningful.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naaís title track is sober and but lacks any of Rahmanís unique tunes as in the other tracks. Howver, the Jazz based Tu Bole Main Boloon is a creative and skillful piece using classical instruments. This one is song by Rahman himself and he sounds fresh as ever.

Needless to say, this is one of the best albums of the year so far.
