Can’t stop listening to the songs!! How would you feel if one song after another seems to be better than the previous one that, at the end of listening to it all, you are left confused about which song you should next listen to again? Amazing songs! After Jodha Akbar, this is the only ARR’s album that I liked as much as that one (Or maybe even more!)!
A.R.Rahman has won the Golden Globe Award! Yay! Congrats, Rahman! 🙂 It’s party time, people! 😉
Wishing A.R.Rahman a very happy birthday! 🙂
As I was scrolling through the December Season schedule for the nth time about a week or so back thinking with a sigh that the Season was going to end soon what with Sanjay’s last concert of the Season being on Jan 5th, it dawned on me that the next day was Rahman’s birthday! (Pardon me for mentioning about the Season yet again! But I have been obsessed with Carnatic music big time during the last one month that these days, no conversation seems to happen without a mention of it happening!) Can there be a better way to celebrate Rahman’s birthday than listening to your favourite Rahman’s songs and losing yourself in the man’s music? 🙂 And that too when you are listening to the songs after quite sometime, I can’t tell you how happy it feels!
To me, listening to a Rahman’s song isn’t just about enjoying the music, experiencing the magic of Rahman’s music and marveling at how he comes up with such amazing compositions alone. Considering the fact that Rahman’s songs have been the ones I have grown up listening to, there are a whole lot of memories associated with quite a lot of songs. The memories range from something as mundane as me eating a Diary Milk when I was listening to some song to some momentous one like me celebrating the successful completion of some work listening to a song. Last year, during what was one of the worst weeks, Kabhi Kabhi Aditi really worked wonders for me. With each passing day, there are only a lot more memories getting added to all those wonderful songs. And with Rahman giving us more and more awesome songs, Rahman’s music continues to fascinate me more and more. 🙂 Thank you, Rahman!
Wishing Rahman a very happy birthday once again!
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.

Waking up feeling super fresh. Humming O Rey Chori from the moment I wake up till now. Window seat. Cool breeze caressing my face. Reading one of the most beautiful love stories, Erich Segal’s ‘Only Love’, for the nth time. What a great start to the day! Looking forward to the rest of the day being as great as the beginning! 😉 Good Morning & Happy Weekend to you all!
pudhu veLLai mazhai, kummi aDi, uyirum neeye, thenmaerkku paruva kaaRRu, en veeTTu thoaTTattil, mellisaiye, azhage sugama, tu bin bataye – Pure Bliss!! Listening to tu bin bataye on a loop now! 🙂
As I was chatting with my friends over lunch yesterday, the conversation drifted to December Season and before I knew it, I was happily talking non-stop about the Season. None of my friends go for concerts or are interested in Carnatic music much. Despite that, the moment I get started about my passion, there’s no stopping me. 🙂 Talking about how excited I have been for the past two days ever since I saw Sanjay’s December Season schedule and talking about what an aural treat his concerts are going to turn out to be, etc., etc., I started reminiscing about Carnatic music and kutcheris. And born out of that reminiscence is this post – a post that I have wanted to write for a long time now.

Today has been a musically very very satisfying day since I started the day with Rahman’s songs and till this moment, I have been listening to Rahman’s songs at every free moment I could get. Even though you know you keep saying this so very often, yet there are moments when you are completely lost in Rahman’s blissful music and all you can say is ‘Rahman, you rock!’ No words will ever be enough to express the magic of Rahman’s music and no words can do justice to the brilliant music he creates. These are moments when I feel so happy and proud to be a Rahmaniac. Now is one such! 🙂
I listened to all the songs of Yuvvraaj once on Saturday and liked all the songs on the first listening itself. 🙂 I again listened to the first 4 songs alone on Sunday. After that, I got the time to listen to the songs again only yesterday. Tu Meri Dost Hain was the song that I listened to first and got hooked to instantly. I have been listening to it on repeat mode for more than 2 hours now! What a beautiful song! Captures your heart right away!
The initial humming, the interlude between the humming and the opening lines aaja main hawaon mein, Awaaz hoon main in varied tunes, the entry of Shreya’s beautiful awaaz singing raat mein chandni, the line main khayalon ki mehek hoon, the lovely interlude at 4:14, Rahman’s amazing singing, the swaras RSRSSRSR right after sargam par chalti hain, ….the list is endless! Love every moment of this song sung so amazingly by all the singers!
I am in no hurry at all to listen to the remaining songs. I am going to take my time and get immersed in the beauty of the songs one by one. 😉
Listening to Rahman’s songs for the past couple of hours or so, this is what I feel like screaming out loud. 😉 Though I cannot remember the exact time from when Rahman’s music or for that matter, music itself ceased being just a form of entertainment to me, these days, music is the one thing that works wonders for me whenever am feeling low. I have this playlist of Rahman’s songs that is of some 14 hours duration. I clicked on the Play button and lost track of the minutes that passed. 😉
& lots more. God knows how many times I have listened to all these songs. Yet my liking for these songs only increases every time I listen to it. Experiencing the magic of Rahman’s music is a magical experience in itself. 😉 What’s life without music?
