VTV Unplugged

Did you watch the Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa audio launch that was telecast on TV yesterday? Weren’t the unplugged version of all the songs as awesome (at times even more?) as the original songs? 🙂 It was a pleasure seeing everyone on stage performing with so much passion. How I wish the unplugged versions too get released! Talking about VTV songs, I am hooked big-time to Hosanna, Omana Penne & Aaoromale. I have listened to other songs only a few times since I don’t seem to have enough time for these 3 songs itself! Rahman is amazing as always!

It can’t get better than this!

10 whole days of doing nothing other than attending concerts and lec-dems has come to an end! And there couldn’t have been a better ending to it than a T.M.Krishna’s concert and a Sanjay’s concert back to back! All the 15 concerts of Sanjay this December Season, 6 full concerts and an hour and a half of 2 concerts of T.M.Krishna – what a month this has been!
