Inspite of knowing that ARR’s unplugged concert was going to be telecast on DD last Sunday, I totally forgot about it and realized that I had forgotten to watch it only when I saw the messages in the group the next day! 🙁 I finally found the time to watch the videos today and I just loved it! 🙂 There should be more performances like this!

I switched on the computer planning to just check my mail and maybe read a few blogposts and then go to sleep early. But the result of watching the videos was that all I wanted to do was to just listen to his songs.

Dheemi Dheemi, Rang De Basanti, July Madham, If You Wanna Come Along, Puttham Pudhu Bhoomi, Spirit of Unity concert theme, Hey Goodbye Nanba, Andha Arabic, Aayo Re Sakhi, Veerapandi Kottayile, Like an Eagle, Chayya Chayya, Latika’s Theme, Muppadhu Nimidam, Mayya Mayya, Barso Re and the list goes on! I want to listen to all this and more right now, even while I am busy copying song after song of ARR to my mp3 player!

P.S: Writing this post has made me reminisce about how this blog was a couple of years back – when almost every alternate post of mine was on ARR’s music and the frequency of posts in this blog itself was much better than what it is now!

Soul-stirring song! The feel with which Rahman has sung it won’t fail to move anyone!

• Mandolin Srinivas’ Enta Muddo

• Mandolin Srinivas’ Giriraja Suta

• Roja Janeman sung by Hariharan

• Kanava Illai Kaatra from Ratchagan

• New York Nagaram

• July Maadham Vandhaal

• Rahman’s ‘Spirit of Unity Concert’ Music

• Guitar Prasanna’s ‘Peaceful – The Effect’

These songs will forever remain some of the most cherished ones in my life. The memories that these songs hold are special to me! 🙂 It’s 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 that’s 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. 🙂 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. 🙂 I hope the rest of the day remains as great as the beginning. Good Morning, folks! 🙂

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 it’s not his best. 😐 Though I haven’t listened to Jai Ho as much as Latika’s Theme or Mausam and Escape, that song has still really become one of my favourites.
