Moosik

Well, this is my first write up . I don't want to make it too obvious by writing something really long or too short. Neither morose nor too excited. I love music . After Vivsu baby , it is the next thing that gives me happiness. So here is my first post .

Music is there everywhere. Yesterday when I went swimming with my brother Darshan called as Darshana (my lovely brother) , I just floated for a couple of minutes and felt the water. My head was immersed inside the water. I could hear nothing but absolute silence. The sound of water. Everything else was 'shhhhh' . It was a brilliant experience . There is some element of music in silence as well.

I got introduced to English songs by Vivsu baby. I was bored in the beginning but since I am mostly interested in the lyrics, I started liking even death metal. Believe it or not , I listen to death metal when I am pain . Negatives aside , Vivsu also taught me that music is not just in the tune or the lyrics but the background score which adds to the beauty of the song . Now , I like the drums, the beats the guitar pieces and the smallest things which we usually tend to not notice in a song .

Carnatic is what I had to master by now . My laziness made me shift through six different Gurus and now I am still in the Varnas (Gawd, I went to my first Carnatic class in my third standard when my grand parents forced me to). But still I appreciate Carnatic music even today . The songs of 'Morning Raga' movie, SPB's tunes of 'Ragam Taalam Pallavi' et al just make me jump with joy. Definitely not to forget MS's Suprabhatam . The Sanskrit version is just adorable.

Now coming to filmy. Scores of Sonu , Shreya and SPB are just too soothing to the ears . My favourites cannot be listed here . I rarely follow Hindi movies but Kannada songs are just too beautiful. If you want to get started with Kannada film music , I suggest you first hear the oldie goldies - 'Neerinalli aleya ungura','naguva nayana','nee muDida mallige hoovina maale', 'aakashadinda dharegiLida rambhe' which is Vivsu's favourite. I love this song too . Recent flicks being 'Maleyali jotheyali','Mungaru male'. OMG I seriously don't remember the songs. Its that big a list. I have actually avoided smileys from the beginning of this post. But I just can't help it . :) :) :)

Finally , my best :) Sugama Sangeetha . C.S Aswath brought into the industry a completely different perspective of the Sugama sangeetha with his incredible compositions. I heard that he was a perfectionist . His tune of 'Marali baa manvantharave' and 'Muktha' were just too brilliant. My sir Narahari Dixit just gave away hundreds of songs which I don't even remember.
The best of all times is 'Mysooru Mallige' by KSN .

Kudos to music. Will be more specific and elaborate in my next posts:)

Adios

  2. Hello,

    Nice posts. I just cant stop myself appreciating it..:)

    I really miss those days when we used to spend hours together to discuss about the meaning hidden in the lyrics of the songs..:( Especially 'Yaava mohana murali kareyito' song's discussion with Divs and Vivs.
