ARR @ his best

-
FB has been filled with status updates of videos from MTV Unplugged 2. Especially from the yet to be released Mani Ratnam movie song "Nenjukkullae". More than that song, which sounds like a remix of "Enna ithu" from Nala Damayanthi..this one is my favorite of the lot. Loved the original version from Swades. Ennamo NRI's ellariyum ARR koovi koovi India vanthirunu koopdra mathiri oru super feel irukum. But this remixed version is simply awesome. Wait till 3:58 in video when he switches over to tamil. Goosebumps guaranteed. Awesome awesome rendition and amazing clarity. Bless you Rahman for these masterpieces.

I am wordless to describe this man. Humble genius he is. especially the tamil lyrics must be touching to NRI's like you.

Incidentally, today whole day i am listening to Vijay prakash - rehman's combo in yuvraj - manmohini more. Just listen to this song if you hav'nt mind blowing song.

I did NOT like Nenjukkule... sounds like a mish mash of every other ARR song... but then all his songs kinda grow on you with repeated listening, but this song i heard once, shared on FB cos friends wanted link and that was it...

I did see the entire show on mtv site, and well, some songs were good, some were ok.... liked Phir se udd chala unplugged version

The King is dead..Long live the King

The perennial BAD boy of music world..The King of POP..is no more. My initiation to english music was thru him only. "Beat it" was the first song i heard and fell in love instantly. My personal favourite of all his songs is "heal the world". Excellent lyrics and wonderful music. For a person who dominated the world music scene king size..he did had his fair share of controversies to fight with. I guess its the curse of the musicdom that instant fame is accompanied with imminent embarrassments. My longtime desire was to attend a LIVE concert of MJ...now that is one desire of mine which will never be fullfilled :( My Dear "Black/white" man..may your soul rest in peace, now atleast.

Power of Mango People

This is what Aam Janta or Mango people as in "Love Aaj Kal" can do. Swaram is a known name in blogsville and one look at the comments column for ANY of her posts will make any blogger go green with envy. Just an "Hi" "How are you" post would get minmum 100 responses :) Avlo famous she is. More than anything, its her enthusiasm and compassionate nature to take up social causes has won her more friends and accolades. She and her hubby Su are 2 beacons midst the dim veil surrounding the might of common people. They are not super human but ordinary folks like you and me. But the deeds which they do are so magnanimous and purposeful that, on one side it makes you aware of the potential hidden in each one of us and serves as an awakening to take up better causes and on the same side, makes u feel ashamed for not having any purpose to follow. Both of them are employed and they suffered a personal mishap in recent past resulting in financial loss. Still, their ze...

P.S: Kwaater adicha epect varutha :D aapy weekend.
