veLLai pookkaL

Complete silence apart from A R Rahman singing VeLLai pookaL! In a state of bliss that cannot be described in words 🙂

veLLai pookkaL ulagam engum malargave
vidiyum bhoomi amaidhikaaga vidigave

Good Morning folks!

Mandolin Srinivas’s Purnashadjam

Mandolin Srinivas’ playing has always left me amazed! This one is no exception. Lavanya Rama in Purnashadjam has always been one of my favourites. I am listening to this composition, Gananayakam, for the first time today and it has got me hooked to it now! I must say, this week has been a musically great week for me. 😉

Please listen to this one even if you are not a Carnatic music lover. I am sure you will enjoy it.

The magic of A R Rahman

I recently transferred some of my favourite songs that I haven’t listened to for quite sometime, to my mobile. So, I have almost stopped listening to radio now. The next three paras of this post is what I typed in my mobile as a message when I was travelling home from work after I pressed the play button in the music player with the random option turned on. 🙂

Oru Vaarthai Kaekka

Many lines of this song from the movie Ayya makes me ROTFL

Nee keadaikka vendum endru thundu seetta ezhudhi poattaen
Peachi amman kovil saami, paper saami aanadhu enna!

Oh nee kodutha kal kooda senkal saami aanadhaiyya

And here comes the best line:

Katta bomman uruvam poala unnai varainthu maraithae veitthaen,
Desapattru oviyam endru veettu suvatril appa maatta

You should watch the ‘oviyam’ of ‘kattabomman-poala-Sarathkumar’ shown in this song to fully appreciate this line 😉

Shauk Hai

For those who haven’t listened to the full song yet, here it is:

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

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. 😀

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! 🙂
