Shredding the barricades!

After tasting the sweetness of my language, I sensed the sweetness of other languages too. When I understood that His music has the power to beautify the language He touched I decided to shred the barricades and savour the sweetness of ‘Tamil’ bit by bit. It took me seven long years to become somewhat skilled at understanding and conversing. Lucky am I that I am a Tamil bahu owing to which access to His Tamil music was trouble free. And when I learnt that ‘Sangam’ was the period in the History of Tamil for literature, I concluded that the period when Isaigynaani ruled this earth would be known as Sanga kalam for Music in future.

Savour this song!

Raining Honey!

Fascination for the local language was so much that I hardly ever took interest in knowing the sweetness of my Mother tongue till I was greeted with this song on a Ugaadi day. Maestro taught me the significance of my mother tongue. For me, this is the best Telugu patriotic song ever composed. And for you?

The Sun Rises Here!

After realizing that it was impossible to reach the peak where His music stayed, they created an artificial peak and started deriving fake satisfaction by climbing it and trying to reach the heights.
There is so much creativity in His music, that nothing more could be done to bring any change except to change the meaning of fine melody, eventually deceiving themselves and also others. Many changes followed a single change. By pushing the masses into a fake world of music and keeping them away from the natural music they derive satisfaction.

Lucky am I that I was sturdy enough and could not be pushed.

Om Shanthi Striking!

One of the many things that make me happy in my life is when the sales boy of the local music store comes to me with Raaja’s new releases, as soon as I enter the store leaving behind all other customers. The store manager updates me with Raaja’s impending projects with a lively face, and the remaining customers put across their eagerness to know more.

This time I was greeted with ‘Omshanti’. With unlimited happiness I returned home for peacefulness.

What a surprise? ‘Chinna polike ledu’ (not even a little similarity), so much versatility. His yester year’s music is so different from today’s music. Raaja once again presents His power and gifts us with tunes that exactly fill the cavities of today’s music world. Only His music helps me to change with the times because, to my mind He is the only Creator who creates tunes by taking care of the period, the situation and the character. I am not the same as I have gradually learnt to change with the times with His music and am ’flying on the moon.’ ‘Ottesi chebuta’(I promise) this is the real meaning of ‘Om Shanti’(peacefulness).

Banquet Treasured!

Those were the days when feeding myself with Hindi in the morning and Telugu in the evening was a practice. Waiting for the songs from ‘Sadma’ in radio Ceylon’s ‘aap hi ke geet’ is still cherished. There were many unfavorable mornings and evenings. But on a favorable evening in the same year, I could treasure this Eternal Gift in my little mind.
Savor the feast!

Health booster!

His songs are instant health boosters. No matter how much tired you are, listening to one song can make you energetic. As for me he is the only classicist who composes as per the structure of a particular language. You feel so happy when the pallavi starts, the interludes and the charanams will surely surprise you. Enjoy the ride!
