<div><font color=#660033>Hello ShivangBuch,</font></div><font color=#660033>No problem, we all are very happy to have you here. I've gone through some of your posts in Orkut and all your explanations to people's posts are really enlightening.👏I'll go through more whenever I find time, it's definitely interesting to see what others think of Ramayan and Shri Krishna.</font><font color=#660033>Thanks for your sweet compliments. Here in IF, every famous show, book, or movie has its own forum, under different categories, so that the fans of each respective thing can go to their separate forum, but our great Ramanand Sagarji does not have his own forum.I have talked with the admins of IF before and they said that forums are created only for recent shows and movies, which is kind of unfair because all these new mytho shows like NDTV Ramayan, Jai Shri Krishna, and Meera all have their own forums where polls and various threads can be created. So I initially created Fan Club 1 for Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan in the NDTV Ramayan Forum in the form of a single thread, but when we finished 150 pages (it is a rule in IF that once about150 pages are completed, new thread must be created) and created Fan Club #2, and when we finished FC #2 as well as FC #1 of shri Krishna in JSK Forum, I decided to merge Ramayan and Shri Krishna together and create a new Chat Club in the Chat Clubs Forum. We also had some trouble in the past about Ramanand Sagar's shows not being allowed to be discussed in the New Mytho Forums, and I didn't want our FCs to be locked, so the Chat Club Forum seemed like the best place where we would never be disturbed and our CCs would be safe. Now, Lola and I are trying to convince the admins to create an everlasting forum for our old mythos, but we don't know if it will work. So until then, I try to keep these CCs as organized as possible so that it feels like a mini-forum though it's only a separate thread.😊</font><font color=#660033>I'm not very frequent in Orkut. To be honest, I only logged on yesterday when you gave us those links.😳</font><font color=#660033>But here's my profile...</font>[/URL]<font color=#660033>Yeah, I agree that the quality of technology varies in Ramayan and MB. In the war episodes, MB's tech was better but in showing the naturalness of the vanvaas and the cottages, Ramayan was better. Having been directed around the same time though, I think both Ramayan and MB looked a bit alike in terms of technology.😊</font><font color=#660033>I also like many of the songs in MB, especially Kripa Krishna Ki, Prem Sagai, Binati Suniye, and the RadheKrishna songs, but like you said, while MB's songs were more lively, RJ's songs were more devotional, which is why I'm often pulled towards his choupais and bhajans. My fav songs in SK are the Maharaas Leela (Jab Antaryami Ne Dekha), Soja Lalla Soja,Kaliya Naag, Na Jaane Tose, Prem Jagat Ka Saar, and basically all the RadheKrishna songs and Bal Krishna songs. I also love the Devaki Vasudev wedding songs. In Ramayan, it is soooooooo hard to list my fav, but I never ever tire of Ram Kahani, Luv Kush Ram Kathas, Sita Ram Vivah, Swayamvar, etc, etc, basically all of them.😆</font><font color=#660033>Even my favorite form of the Hanuman Chalisa is the one sung by Ravindra Jain, it truly touches my soul.😍</font>

Yes Didi.
That technology during war looks simpler and better in Mahabharat due to natural background of clear sunny sky behind and clashing of arrows like present era and also the warriors actually fighting in the background rather than some scene put behind (In some scenes Angad is found at two places - in the main frame and in the background - that looks silly and easily caught). And also arrows hitting in the chest etc is exactly as per description in K M Ganguly's translation of the epic. But the arrow technology shown in Ramayan was fascinating for me along with leelas of Hanumanji and Angad. Also when it is regarding celestial weapons clashing with colourful design, it is not totally illogical (One disappears - becomes fruitless and goes to own abode of deities when more powerful deity weapon is faced). It looked so logical when dear RS dada has shown/treated weapons live and not NIRJEEV (Particularly when Brahmaastra and Paashupaatra have intellect to decide whether to harm Lakshman or not and Chakra does the Parikrama). Gradually I started developing interest in the deep spirituality of the serial. Though right from the childhood, I loved to see the sages so naturally and even at the age of 5, I liked the scenes of Bharadwaj, Sharbhang and Sutikshna.
I searched for your orkut profile yesterday only didi and sent add request. Please add me over there as well. And thanks for the detailed explanation about the application of the site. Now as far as I have understood, I present my analysis over here:
# In orkut, we have communities; here similarly, we have Forums - Fan clubs & Chat clubs;
# Within orkut communities, we have Threads/Forums/Topics and Polls; here, we have Posts/Replies and Poll facility only in case of FCs and not CCs;
# Community owner and moderator can accept or reject membership; here, forum starter has got that right;
# Within orkut community threads, we have different Posts one by one; here, we have Quotes to be the specific reply to individual post;
# On orkut, pictures can be posted only in certain communities if such features are enabled by the community owner; here pictures can be posted in any forum provided the person posting has crossed certain number of minimum limit posts.
So far as facilities of this CC is concerned against SK FC1, I haven't found any practical visible difference or any feature lost which you people normally use (Poll and others might be ok). I mean I have hardly found any difference in the visibility of the two. Sad that the administrators have certain restrictions particularly in case of these heavenly creations which can be treated as an exception to the general rule. Do you have all the informational contents (Apart from the pictures which you people are bound to have) saved in your PCs which have been posted in former forums? I have my all important orkut contents saved which I can send to you all in a mail too. That will make it easier & faster to read. I saw that you and Lola haven't joined Mahabharat serial community which is mainly debate dominated. However, you will find lots of posts of mine in various threads relating Ramayan with Mahabharat and advocating Ramayan.
And so far as my favourite songs are concerned, I have heard the classical songs of BalKrishnaleela part of BRC MB only a couple of times. I only admire classical music but when it comes to liking, I like simple melodious music like RJ compositions (Chhand/Choupai/Doha/Poetry based rather than RAAG AALAAP) and Rafi-Mahendra Kapoor-Lata-Asha Bhonsle songs of Shammi Kapoor-Rajendra Kumar-old Dharmendra fame movies of Asha Parekh/Sadhna. I admire 'Lalit kare nav bhor vandana' song based on raag Lalit, but I don't frequently hear it. I just hear again and again the RCM choupai based song sequences and songs of devotional lyrics with flute-taanpura speciality of RJ.
My most favourite songs in MB are:
Based on lyrics - Kripa Krishna ki (Inspirational for our daily industrious life to achieve success in academics and profession from zero base) and Jay jay Janani Shri Ganesh ki (Because it is four in one - combined devotional song for Paarvati - our family ishtdevi, Paresh/Shankar, Ganesh and Hari/Krishna)
Based on music - Again Kripa Krishna ki (Due to is rhythm and the experience as if the rivers, trees, grass & leafs sing song) and Jay jay Janani Shri Ganesh ki (Atmosphere of temple & marriage created due to Bells & Shehanai).
As you mentioned, in Ramayan there are plenty to mentioned and same thing I posted in Ramayan community on orkut. But later I made an attempt and tried to distinguish some songs in first category of my liking with lot of trouble 😊 which I copy over here:
(01) Entire song sequence from proceeding from Ayodhya for Tadka vadh to Dhanurbhang ('Purush sinh dou veer' to 'Pehenao jaymaalaa' - I couldn't distinguish those songs - for me they are the one continuous)
(02) Kevat song including Sitaji's prayer to Gangaji and description of importance of Prayaag tirth.
(03) Aise bhakt kahan
(04) Jin par kirpa Ram kare woh patthar bhi tir jate hain
(05) Navdha bhakti
(06) Janam janam muni jatanu karaai (Vaali's realization in the end)
(07) Jis kaaran aaye, us kaaraj
(08) Bharat sam nahi duja koi tyaagi
(09) Mat jaao, ruk jaao
(10) Yahi raat antim
(11) Jan jan ke priya Ram Lakhan Siya
(12) Ram ave Avadh ki ore sajani
(13) Nirnay ki ghadi ab aayee hai
(14) Song sequence starting from first war of Indrajeet (Do raajputra1) till his death
There might be some editing in this later too. [lol]
In Shri Krishna also there are plenty. The most favourite is 'Jay Shailsute'. I could come with better analysis in that also later perhaps.
