Blue, Passage, Sanjay’s concert

7 Replies

What more can I ask for? I am finally listening to the ‘Blue’ songs now. The songs are all excellent!! 🙂 I will try to write an elaborate post on it later. For now, I am happy getting lost in the magic of Rahman’s music. I listened to the tracks from ‘Passage’ yesterday and liked those too. I went for a Sanjay’s concert in the evening. Nattakurunji alapana & Begada were the highlights of this concert. I managed to read a book too today – Sudha Murty’s ‘How I Taught My Grandmother to Read & Other Stories’. Today has been a very satisfying day! 🙂

P.S.: There seems to be some problem with my blog. 🙁 Your comments will have to wait till it gets resolved. 🙁

I want to go for a Sanjay’s concert!

Can there be a better way to relax than reading a good book with some good music for company at the end of a day, a major part of which saw me being in an irritated mood? Am now reading P.G.Wodehouse’s ‘Service with a Smile’ (a Blandings story) and listening to a recording of a concert of Sanjay.

It has been really long since I listened to a full-length concert recording of Sanjay and that has made the listening experience even more blissful now! I have already started reminiscing about the Dec Season 2008. 🙂 Those amazing Darbari Kanada, Madhuvanti, Chayaranjani, Saramati, Chandrakauns, Abheri and Desh RTPs, those fast-paced Aarabhi swarams, Yadukula Kambhoji & the brilliant Todi at Narada Gana Sabha, the brigas-laden (or so I remember it was) Purnachandrika alapana & the Vakulabharanam & Kanada pieces at Kalarasana, Shanmukhapriya at Indian Fine Arts, Ravichandrika Alapana at Sri Parthasarathy Swami Sabha, Janaranjani alapana at Kartik Fine Arts, Kapi at Krishna Gana Sabha, the Hamsanadam piece at Margazhi Mahotsavam, tunbam nergayil, nijagadasa and that veryyyy beautiful ninnaye rati (in Bhageshri) at Music Academy! I want to listen to it all again!! With a concert of Sanjay on what seemed like every other day and all the concerts turning out to be equally brilliant ones and me spending most of my waking moments listening to just Sanjay’s recordings, what an absolutely blissful and most satisfying month it was!!! I, now, so very badly want to go for a Sanjay’s concert! Somebody please organize a concert of his soon! 😛

P.S.: With the P.G.Wodehouse book providing some laughter in the form of some humorous moments and Sanjay’s awesome singing providing that indescribable and unsurpassed magical experience, I see no signs of my irritated mood anywhere near me. 🙂

What to write?

For the past ten days, I managed to write something here everyday and even though the posts were just a few lines long, those were all spontaneous posts. As much as I don’t want to break the streak now, I suddenly don’t seem to have anything to write about! What do I write? About the awesome, amazing Sanjay’s Sahana that I am listening to now 🙂 or about getting hooked to uyirile from Vettayadu Vilayadu yet again today, or about how happy some things which cannot be mentioned here 😛 made me feel or about how I seem to be one confused soul struggling to come to a decision about certain things or about how I am thinking about whether I should publish this post or just delete it? I am sure you will say that I should have indeed deleted it 😉

The year that was!

A major part of the first half of 2008 saw me being down with boredom. And then, there was this bloggers’ block. The no. of unfinished posts lying in my drafts written during that period stands testimony to that. These apart, though 2008 was better than 2007, still quite a few things which I wish had not happened, happened. But hey, now is not the time to dwell on all those. There are lots of moments to cherish and a lot of other things thinking about which makes me so happy.
