I have been hooked big time to TNS’ Dwijavanti RTP and Delhi 6 (the title song) for the past one week. 2 completely contrasting songs! Can’t stop humming ‘ye dilli hai mere yaar’. Won’t Delhi 6 be the perfect song to listen to when you are going for a drive on a highway? The magic of TNS’ Dwijavanti continues! Absolute beauty, isn’t it? It just makes you lose yourself in the blissful music! 40 min seem to pass by in a jiffy! š
Soul-stirring song! The feel with which Rahman has sung it won’t fail to move anyone!
Watching the last half an hour or so of Kannathil Muthamittal on K TV today morning, I remembered the post of mine that has been lying unfinished in the drafts for a long time now.
Sometime in June last year (this post has been in draft from that time!!), there was this thematic concert of T.M.Krishna that I went to. The theme of the concert was āRelationshipsā. As I heard a moving rendition of Mahakvi Bharatiyarās āchinnanchiru kiLiyeā(which he had chosen for the relationship between a father and his daughter) by TMK ā how does he manage to bring so much bhava in everything that he sings! TMK rocks! š ā, I couldnāt help remembering the movie āKannathil Muthamittalā the moment he sang those lines in the song. š As my thoughts drifted towards the movie, the first thing that came to my mind was what an apt title Mani Ratnam had chosen for the movie!

These songs will forever remain some of the most cherished ones in my life. The memories that these songs hold are special to me! š Itās amazing how songs can capture so many memories so vividly!
Listening to Ravi sing this song in Super Singer today, I immediately wanted to listen to it and thatās what I am doing now. This song is one of my most favourites! Unni Krishnan singing the very beautiful lyrics, set to an even more beautiful music by the inimitable Rahman, with such an amazing feel makes it a song which seldom fails to touch my soul every time I listen to it! This is a gem of a composition indeed!
Hooked big-time to this BGM from Swades. Just 40 seconds duration. Yet look at the magic that Rahman has created with his music! This is my mobile ring tone now. š I just love the scene featuring this BGM. I wish it had not been deleted from the movie.
The day has begun on a great note, thanks to ARR’s music. š I hope the rest of the day remains as great as the beginning. Good Morning, folks! š
I seem to be in love with the movie all over once again after watching it for the nth time today on Star One. Today was one of those days when I enjoyed each and every moment of the movie more than usual. I was absorbed in the movie. Completely! The village, villagers, excellent acting by Shahrukh and others, costumes, dialogues, amazing background music for each and every scene, songs, lyrics, Kaveri Amma, the love story of Gita and Mohan, the cute little village kids, I can just go on and on about every single thing in this movie! As much as I want to write a long post on it, I want to watch some of my favourite scenes from the movie again too. And since I donāt seem to have had enough of Swades for the day, this post will have to wait.
Am now listening to the tracks of Slumdog Millionaire and with each listening, I seem to like each of the songs more and more. As much as I enjoyed reading/watching so many shows/articles/blog posts/interviews, etc. on A.R.Rahman post Oscars, I also got tired of hearing every other person saying that Slumdog Millionaire is not his best. I just wish everyone just enjoys the songs instead of repeatedly saying that itās not his best. š Though I havenāt listened to Jai Ho as much as Latikaās Theme or Mausam and Escape, that song has still really become one of my favourites.
Dull. Gloomy. Bored. The blues need not be Monday morning blues alone. It can be there all through the day. Adding to it is the weather that is equally gloomy. Itās slightly drizzling here.
