Megamae Megamae

8 Replies

As I saw cotton candy-like clouds adorning the evening sky, making it a treat for the eyes, I got reminded of one of my favourite songs, megamae megamae from the movie, Vaanam Vasappadum and the entire bus journey (Oh yeah. This is yet another post on what I did while travelling by bus 😛 ) had me humming this song to myself. I remembered that it had been really long since I last watched/listened to the song and here I am now, happily listening to it for the past one hour. 😀 I love all the songs in Vaanam Vasappadum. This is one of the few non-ARR albums that I have bought. I like the picturization of the songs too. I am now going to listen to other songs from this movie. 🙂 Meanwhile, you enjoy watching this song here. (Couldn’t find a better quality video)

Good Morning!

Hey All! Good Morning!

Having had to read quite a few times about me being bored, I guess it would be a good change for you to read that it has been more than a week since my boredom went away! So how did I beat the boredom? All I did was a little introspection/retrospection/whatever and before I knew it, I was out of boredom! Rather, boredom was out of me. 😛

Monday Sans Blues

15 Replies

Yes! Today was a Monday when I didn’t have the Monday morning blues at all! Thanks to A.R.Rahman & Reetigowlai! 🙂 Started the day listening to ‘Sakkarakatti’ songs! Liked all the songs the first time itself! More on the songs later. The other song that I have been listening to the whole of today is the song that seems to everyone’s current favourite – ‘kaNgaL iraNDAl’ from ‘Subramaniapuram’. This is one of the most beautiful Reetigowlais ! 🙂 Can’t stop humming the song! 🙂

T.M.Krishna’s Todi

8 Replies

There is a saying in Tamil that goes ‘vilagi poanaal virumbi varum’. Well that’s how it has been with me and T.M.Krishna’s Todi! Todi turns out to be the main raagam in most of his concerts that I go for. And the worst part is that I miss many of his concerts where Todi is not the main. I missed the concert where he sang Sahana RTP too! 🙁 Before you start off saying that his Todi is excellent, etc., etc., having listened to way too many Todis of his, I know it very well too. Yet I am just not interested in listening to Todi in every other concert! Just last Saturday, he sang a RTP in Todi in a concert, which, by the way, was superb (That concert deserves a separate post. I will write about it soon). So I least expected Todi to be the main raagam in yesterday’s concert. But when that is exactly what happened, I left the concert the moment he started the Todi alapana.

iru vizhiyin vazhiye

Leave a reply

iru vizhiyin vazhiye from the movie Siva – Excellent singing by SPB and Chitra, nice beats, wonderful flute & trumpet (?) interludes, typical Ilaiyaraja song. The interludes in Hamsadhwani raagam are beautiful. Super song! Can’t stop listening to it!

Jashn-E-Bahaaraa

When the caller tune is Jashn-E-Bahaaraa, who will complain when a friend doesn’t answer the call? 😉 I didn’t even have the heart to cut the call even though she didn’t answer. 😛 And guess what I am doing now? Listening to the instrumental version of Jashn-E-Bahaaraa on repeat mode! 😀 What a beautiful song! Rahman rocks!

Sanjay on Ragamalika

2 Replies

For all those fans of Sanjay Subrahmanyan out there, in case you are not aware, he is one the judges for the finals of Ragamalika – the show on Jaya TV. Yesterday was the first episode of the finals. It will go on for another couple of weeks I guess. I started watching the show only after the first participant had started singing. By the way, that participant sang quite well and that was the reason why I paused channel surfing. Little did I expect to see Sanjay as the judge! Srinivas was the other judge. I have watched many shows where Srinivas was the judge and I have always found him to be a good judge.

As far as I know, generally, it’s only the judge who is a non-classical musician who sings/performs before the competition starts. But, it has been quite a long time since I last watched Ragamalika and I have no idea how it is nowadays. So, can anybody who watched the first segment of the show please tell me if by any chance, Sanjay sang anything in the first segment? Also please tell me what Srinivas sang. Thanks!

Ada – The Songs

18 Replies

This is one movie where I liked all the songs the first time I listened to them itself. 🙂 And the more I listen to each song, the more I like it! But, as I started listening to the songs of ‘Ada’, one thing that struck me was almost all the songs had an already-heard-before feel to it. This is just an observation and not a complaint. 😉
