Rednex is a Swedish manufactured techno/folk/bluegrass band. They had an international novelty hit with the song "Cotton Eye Joe" in 1994. Although extremely popular in Germany, where the band holds the record of most total weeks (25) at No.1 on the German singles chart over the past 30 years—scoring such hits as "Old Pop in an Oak", "The Spirit of the Hawk” and "Wish You Were Here"--"Cotton Eye Joe" remains Rednex's sole hit in the United States.Rednex is a Swedish manufactured techno/folk/bluegrass band.

cotton joe
i dont remember my age-but the class is X
doordarshan was the only channel
on occasions we had to listen to pop
this one was my child hoods favourite tune. ok its lifted and used shamelessly in Simhadri
"Cotton-Eyed Joe" is a popular American folk song known at various times throughout the United States and Canada, although today it is most commonly associated with the American South. In the Roud index of folksongs it is number 942.
"Cotton Eyed Joe" (also known as "Cotton Eye Joe") has inspired both a partner dance and more than one line dance that is often danced at country dance venues in the US and around the world. The 1980 film Urban Cowboy sparked a renewed interest in the dance. In 1985, The Moody Brothers' version of the song received a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Country Instrumental Performance." Irish group The Chieftains received a Grammy nomination for "Best Country Vocal Collaboration" for their version of the song on their 1992 album "Another Country." And, in 1994, a version of the song recorded by the Swedish band Rednex as "Cotton Eye Joe" became popular worldwide.( source: wikipedia)

complex subject--- simple treatment
My son who is studying 8th class raised three serious questions:
Q1:What is wiki leaks ?
Q2:Why Noble Prize was placed on a empty chair?
I explained him in many ways.
He felt confused and put up a serious face as if he was trying to understand the repressive measures by democratic and communist govt.
Not able to see his failure to understand i took up rather amusing way to solve his problem.
I)Ans for Q1:
I took him to my relatives house. There I left him for a while. Then I visited another relative X's home. There we talked about the previous relative. On our return I asked my son what he saw and felt. He asked me "Nana(dad) , why they are complaining against each other?" I asked him to wait for a while. After a hour my both my relatives came to our house.They talked in great spirits.
I thus spoke to my son: sampath( his name) now i am US govt . I know about both my relatives but play the card of innocence. They also play the same card when both are present. now there's a secret which i alone know. Now you also know that. If you want you can leak it. You will be despised by both of them. This is what wiki leaks doing. Leaking secrets.
My son seemed satisfied with my explanation.
II) The second answer was rather delivered by a teacher in his class.
Shyam his friend is not in the great looks of the teacher. He was always given punishment by that particular teacher. Yesterday he received a medal for his skill in sports. I( oh, i am sorry. i am the correspondent of the school) sent the medal to the class and as to give it to him. At that time Shyam was given a punishment to stand outside the class. The teacher could have called him in and should have made him happy. She simply put the medal near his bag. And proceeded with the class. My son was horrified and asked me why was it so? I simply connected it to the noble prize episode.
III) Then my son asked me the climax question: Why you answered same questions in different manner in the morning? All these happen in and around
That's it Ravi Babu garu. Complex issues . Simple solutions.
Loved your comic sense in Manasaara.
Loved the music.
Loved the plot.
Your heroine will go places. That's for sure.
But Sir, Love Stories should be simply told. You wanted to tell
---- how love happens all of a sudden
---- how people forget everything when they are in the aura of love
---- how hard to digest when the girl knows that the boy is coward and runs away
---- how a coward can overcome his cowardice to win his love.
Alas. You brought in
---- Kalari or Kalarippayattu ( martial art of kerala)
------ A village ( or town) called rajapalayam in kerala
------ you declare the village is still 200 years back in civilization
------ but a bank with computers operate where the village elders don't even allow cell phones
------ a school for blind
------a national championship of kalari( this is great cinematic liberty)
----- and two love stories of mother & daughter
----- training modules aka karate kid
And i am unable to follow all these in one movie.
I am even unable to understand whether a simple story was presented in a complex way or too many complexities made simple
Thank god. I left my son at home.Other wise my life would have been simply complex.

THE RGV REALITY
when I was 11 I used to sleep on the dhaba ( terrace ). starring at the stars and their small size ( my social teacher should be complemented for he failed to explain the funda of stars) I often wondered why humans never try to bring them down.I always dreamt one day I will take a vessel of a stars size and go there in a space ship and trap a star in the vessel and bring the star down to earth. It gave me immense pleasure to imagine the scene and my childhood innocence made me believe that one day I will .
But as I grew up and ironically chose social as a subject to teach, I realised the fall of my dreams. Even though i knew the foolishness of my dream i liked it. For it taught me impossibility should be accepted with grace. and its better we realize the reality in its own terms. And throughout life till date I always saw the way reality murdered the dreams.
And some dared to present the reality in books paintings and more often movies. Govind Nihalani made Tamas and people are shocked to see the ugly face of truth. Gulzar made Maachis and people remembered the days of trauma. Recently a journalist made Peepli Live and the country for another time discussed farmers suicides.
I have lots of examples in the pipeline. Ray, Mrinalsen, Shyam benegal ,Basu chaterjee, Ritwik Ghatak, made films to present reality by accepting its bitterness. The films never distorted the reality. they never provided solutions. often the directors accepted the truth that " bringing stars down is a impossibility" thats why these great men always vented out anger through characters ( see the character of Nasserudin shah in Aakrosh)
Dear Ram Gopal Varma : watched your Raktha Charitra 2. you does an impossibility. you murdered reality.
i don't want to discuss movie here.
What ever be the profession one should always choose between two things.
Create.
Follow.
Paradoxically often you quote Ayn Rand.
Let me tell you
The pain of knowing yourself will make you prepare yourself for the ultimate you are destined for.
This is what Roark should have felt when he declined the deans offer in the beginning. This is how peter keating should have felt when he tried to build his last project. ( sorry guys to know Roark and Keating study "The Fountainhead")
In Ayn Rand's Words
" ---------------- only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man's proper stature_ and that the rest will betray it."
