A's Blend Of Emotions

Whatever be the heights of stress, listening to beloved Dr. M.S Subbulakshmi Amma's Kurai Ondrum illai" would just make me feel God with tears of joy. So many hurdles in life at every stage, be it a little one weeping for a candy .. or a school kid weeping all day either for missing her "A" grade or for having messed her school speech.. or a high school girl tossing a coin every minute to see if her love would be reciprocated .. or a frustrated woman losing her job on turning a quarter century ........ It feels so good to think that "the next minute is just a minute away" when we are really uncomfortable in some situations in life. But the moments we treasure in life? We probably cannot freeze that moment or order the clock to stay where it is. Neverthless, we can always move down the memory lane and grab those smiles. " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sle...

Movie : Thirupaachi Song: Kannum kannum dhaan Originally sung by Harish Raghavendra, Uma Ramanan Now rendered by Anand (Welcome Anand!) & Aparna Kind of a telepresence recording experience to produce a "blend of two voices" ..

Tried my best to give a better audio-video sync effect. Although it's definitely not a "perfect mixing", it was worth learning! .. Thanks to PowerDirector! Here is the video..

Lots of freedom within a cage. How good does that sound? Well.. who does'nt become happier to step out of the cage to a more comforting place? (exceptions are always there) All set to hibernate.. I felt as happy as a clam at high water. Expected to get out of my cage happily.. but hey, Do things always happen as expected? (Aah! I tasted salt just now :( ) The so-called comforting place makes her feel completely deserted and dejected. To some trustworthy people, we can always be ourselves (I thought so). But, I realised there cannot be another "Me" to understand and interpret myself better than me,myself (not to forget the Almighty ofcourse). Yes, yet another bird's talk.. smile amidst tears for I've realised something new again :) Note: A blog post .. not to fight/argue with anybody's personal opinions or realizations. Thanks!

I remember the days when I used to listen to Sudha's Thirupaavai for like thousand times.. Also I keep waiting to watch her sing and answer some music related questions in one of the best possible ways at the Margazhi Maha Utsav. I also remember the day I bought an audio cassette of the movie "Ivan" as soon as I knew that she is singing a number in the same. Her recent rendition of "Annul Maele Pani thuli" for the movie Vaaranam Aayiram is amazing (unlike the movie itself :) ) .. on the Natabhairavi scale .. I wish I could get the karaoke for this track as I am messing up with the track when I remove the vocals myself.. Listen to the original for now :)
