Yes I have searched every where too. And I thought this great songs needs to be recognized! Thus my attempt. Correct as needed!

Whenever I do "go back" listening to 80s Raja and 90s Puyal and all those come/go artist, I found myself that I recharged, I have a new love again to play music.

First, I present to you the Maestro of India, who, here has provided beautiful string orchestration. The songs also has some interesting chords with guitar & flute taking the lead initially then followed by the violins. The interludes too have abundance of sounds from these instruments. Not to forget S P Bala and S Janaki who just makes it more charming. Extra kudos to S P Bala for his improvisation with his laughter! Listen for your self:

Idaiyinil unn viralgal..yezhudhidum yen sugangal
Anaikkaiyil unn udalil azhundhidum yen nagangal
Meendum meendum naan vendum bodhu...
Kaadhal yogam dhaan kattil meedhu
Kaaa vendum unnodu dhaan


Secondly, please sit back and relax to this extraordinary work by Mr A R Rahman. He does what he is best at, evoking the feeling of pain and loneliness. In this particular song as usual Rahman keeps changing between minor and major scales. What more can I say? I am so lost in the pan flute which takes up playing a sweet melody with the strings continuing to support it, the danya part of the tabla which keeps coming in between surprising you at the same time making you to want more. And of course the singers, we have Sujatha rendering beautiful aalaps. And S P Bala in Tamil and Hariharan rendering Hindi. There is also a second Hindi version with S P Bala taking the lead but honestly Hariharan blows him! I am posting all three versions you be the judge!

Tamil - S P Bala & Sujatha
Velli oadai paesinaal sonna vaarththai njaabagam..
Dhaegam rendum saergaiyil moagam konda njaabagam..


Hindi - Hariharan & Sujatha
Koi nahi hai mera sirf teri aas hai..
Khwabo mein tu saanso mein tu roja..


Hindi - S P Bala & Sujatha
Jee raha hu isliye dil mein pyaar hai tera..
Zulm sah raha hu kyo intezar hai tera..

More soon :)

"Great leaders are not born. They are made—to a large extent, self-made.."-Marshall Goldsmith

The above quote makes a lot of sense to me now. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I seem to be getting some good attention these days. My productivity stream is looking brighter than yesterdays. The networking I've been trying my hand at for a while seems to be falling in place. I am getting things done my way and in the right way. I am happy!! Je le sais, je le pense, aussi j'y crois un peu plus que toi Jegan!

I was invited to a lunch meeting day before yesterday by my parent company's president Mr. Rick Learner.I must say I felt very much appreciated and valued around him. A good client of mine had arranged for the lunch meet. He wanted to treat me for my efforts in helping him maintain a good financial standpoint. As a thank you note he treated me and invited Rick too. I must say I was very surprised at some of the extra good comments I heard him say about me to Rick. No, I don't mean I don't deserve it, it is just that I don't recall doing anything that deserved appreciation to that extend. I mean I did my job sincerely and as always tried to go the extra mile but still kept it within my range. Anyway It was a very good day, lunch!!! Thanks to Joe Giordano!

Wednesday - 11:35 am, I stumble into my office almost feebly, light headed, wanting to puke! I don't know why and how people think of it to be cool, or fun but I am really happy I tried it because it definitely killed my curiosity. I coughed a lot, my throat burned, and I felt really dizzy. I hated every part of it, and I realized after that it is something I plan on never doing again. STOP smoking!!






Here, a song to make me feel good in-spite of the bad that my curiosity lead me to. I think this song is about letting someone go because there is something better out their for them. In my opinion it is saying (much more poetically) "I'm here for you and I'm willing to do anything for you or be anything for you, but if you need to find something better I understand. But don't you dare let me forget you."

But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

Wake me up! Wake me up! .. It has been 18 hours since I watched Inception, by Christopher It's Nolan's existential heist film – did I mention its a love story, your mind is the scene of the crime. But your heart will pull the trigger!

"whose subconscious are we in now?"

To go into details of the story would be a disservice to those who haven’t seen it, besides, words escape me in trying to find ways to describe it. Many of Nolan’s movies usually demand repeated viewings to fully grasp the story, and this one is no exception. So go to the theater and WATCH the movie!! Don't forget to bring your brain too ;)

Music soothes my soul.. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do :)



"Sanam Yeh Baatein Kaisi..Kahan Meri Kismat Aisi"

It seems A R Rahman has this knack of presenting the ‘joy in pain(Swarnalatha's aalap in the beginning)’ genre in the most hummable form possible...(taras khaa'o mere haal pe).As sure as the sun shines, my heart beats for you. There isn't anyone as wonderful as you in this world. You hold my heart in your hands! Sun ri!

Soothing me..
