To tell or not to tell?

There are some people who belong to the category, ’sonnaalum puriyaadhu, sollaama irundhaalum theriyaadhu!’ (Neither do they understand when you say it, nor will they understand on their own when you don’t say it). What to do with such people?

I am sure once you start listening to this song, you won’t have the heart to stop listening to it. ;)

Naan Vegetarian

Read the following lines from the song ‘Balleilakka’:

ammiyil arachu aakkivacha naattu kozhi patta kelappum
aadu maadu mela ULLa Paasam
veettu ration card-il serkka solli kaetkum

What’s the need to have such contradicting lines? How can the same person who kills and eats chicken (For God’s sake, it’s a baby!), love goats and cows when in all probability he might be eating those as well?!

A R Rahman’s Surabhi interview

It always feels great watching/reading old interviews of A R Rahman. These days, there are so many websites and you keep finding interviews in one site or the other often. But, the disadvantage of having so many sites is the questions are often repeated! Thanks to Bhagavathi Mohan, member of The A R Rahman Fan Club for a very old interview of Rahman in the Doordarshan programme, Surabhi. Check it out here in case you already haven’t. I am posting the link here very late thanks to my forgetfulness!

After watching the interview again today, I am now listening to the instrumental version of the songs of Roja non-stop. :D

An RTP that made my day!

Just a few days before T M Krishna’s concert, I was telling my friend how great it would be if Sanjay or TMK sings Ragam Tanam Pallavi more often in concerts. Little did I know that I would be rewarded with one so soon! :) I loved the Latangi RTP :) I would say the Latangi compensated for the main piece in Todi. Yes you read it right. Hey wait! I am not saying anything about the way TMK sang it! His Todi was excellent as usual! :) Continue Reading »

8 Things about me

Sivaraman had tagged me long back. The tag is I have to list out 8 things about me.

1. I am a semi-introvert.
2. I have this weird habit of checking, re-checking, re-re-checking whether I have taken all the necessary things when I leave for an exam or some other important work!
3. Whenever I get bored/confused/sad, I write down my feelings on a paper. I have found that putting the thoughts into words has a positive effect on me.
4. I believe in the saying, ‘Life is too sweet to be spent worrying’ and try my best to enjoy all the little things in life.
5. I love ice creams :D
6. I hate crowds! I prefer a peaceful life :P
7. I am punctual in everything I do. I have always been the first one to arrive be it meeting a group of friends or meeting some other deadline ;)
8. Finally, I have this policy of not tagging anyone ;)
