Blend of Music in my Life

Recently when I was searching my system for the instrumental piece of music I came across a folder named Morning Raga. I started hearing the pieces and I simply fell in love with the music in it. I searched in the web for the movie and watched it. The movie was good for it relaxed my mind entirely. But before watching the movie I heard the song Mathey more than what 50 times for it was amazing till I saw the movie. After watching the movie I found few more pieces excellent.

I have always had the craze for the string instrument from my high school. I wanted to learn either guitar or violin. After 23 years I concluded that I have to give it a shot. I was amidst the confusion of choosing between the two. Guitar is western where as violin has a carnatic touch. Since I m a crazy fan of Ganesh Kumaresh duo I landed upon violin and has been learning for the past 8 months.

When I heard Thayae Yasodha in this album I was amazed by the way the violin was used. All in my life Mahaganapathim has been my favorite in the carnatic angle. Have heard lot of version of the same song like the one piece that comes in this piece. The song in any version always leaves the heart refreshing.

Right from my childhood my mom wanted me to learn vocal. I found that vocal was not my arena. But it took me 23 long years to figure out what I m really interested in. I m have a feeling that I have wasted all these years.Yet I feel that it is not too late for I have few more years left in this world.

This music which has blended in my life is changing everything around me like I feel fresh always.I m starting to see this world in a different way.I feel music everywhere around me and everything around me. This is changing everything in me. All in my life I have never felt traditional or any of those stuffs but now at present I m feeling like I m turning into a traditional girl. More than anything these kind of music has left a small trace in me which I m holding it at present.It is nothing but a thin smile in my lips.

I think it is a bend in my life which is making many things different. I m not sure how long it will sustain in me but the music in my heart will die only along with me.

Raavanan (Raavan in Hindi)

The Hindi version of the music released first and I was impressed with ARR's score. When I saw the singers list I was a bit disappointed when Shreya Goshal was absent. I started wondering how Rahman forgot Shreya. In another two days I got the Tamil version of the music from my bro. My god Rahman is amazing. I found Shreya here in the tamil version. Rahman still believes in Shreya's Tamil rather than her hindi (Just joking). Off late I found that I miss something in Rahman's score if Shreya is not there. This time the only one miss is Blaaze. When Arr used Blaaze(Hosana) amazingly in VTV, I guess he absolutely has given break for the guy in Raavanan.

Usurae Pogudhaey - Karthik & Mohamed Irfan

I can't find words to describe the feeling when I heard this song. This song really has made a great impact on me. The feel of the music literally took me inside the jungle. It also gave a clear view of the emotional imbalance that happens inside the human mind when he/she faces with the inevitable truth. It gave me a feel around the jungle and waterfalls and I know Mani does not spoil the viewers expectation.

Veera - Vijay Prakash, Keerthi Sagathia & ARR

This score clearly shows the nature of the veera character in the movie. Though the song is a small bit it makes a great impact. Vijay has done his part in this song. Of course no album is complete with out ARR's voice. The husky voice behind Vijay's voice is awesome. Hope the song makes the same impact in case of video also.


Kalvarae - Shreya Goshal


I need not say how the song would be. Any Shreya Goshal's fan should be able to guess how the score is. She has improved a lot in her Tamil pronunciation. I have always cursed ARR for bringing the Hindi lead singers into Tamil film industry esp. Sadhana Sargam, one who spoils the entire essence of Tamil. In case of Shreya, Arr has made the sweet mistake of letting her inside the Tamil film industry. The lyrics and the music rips open the heart. I can't find words to express the feeling that I got when I heard the song for the first time.


Kattu Sirukki - Sharnkar Mahadevan & Anuradha Sriram


A different pair of singers in ARR's list. It is amazing to see Shankar, music composer himself, to come forward and sing for ARR. As always Anu does her best in shifting in her pitch. There is no one in my knowledge who came shift in pitch so easily than Anu herself. The duo has done best and way to go

The other 2 songs has disappointed me. The song thok di killi(Hindi) by sukwinder singh and kodu potta the same in tamil by Benny Dayal is the biggest diappointment. Ranjha also didn't make the list.

Waiting for the movie. Hoping to watch both the hindi and the tamil version.
