MY TRIP TO GOA BANGALORE...!

Hi people..I had been wanting to write about my goa-bangalore IV tour since the time i came back but unfortunately the exams had kept me away from writing it. And now, its not that easy to recollect everything coherently and post it here. But glad that one of my friends (also a blogger) has been writing about the tour and here's the link http://mytravelchronicle.blogspot.com/ for those who wish to read our wonderful tour experiences.

The music season...



The long awaited music season- december season as we all call it, is starting to get heated up across chennai with all the sabhas and fine arts organising great concerts for this margazhi maasam. And no doubt i'm thoroughly excited about attending as many concerts as possible this time. It's usually been impossible for me to attend concerts every december as my exams wud always be on the run keeping me away from them, but this time luckily its all over and i've already planned a schedule for when and where i'll be going to listen to those wonderful kutcheris. And for those who expect me to write reviews on the concerts i attend, i'm really sorry that i hav never attempted to write any before, coz i feel i am not good at it. but then, let me try this time in my blog space and hope you all like it. This is wishing all the music lovers "A Happy December" and hope to see you all here discussing music!

My Musical Journey....!



Becoming a famous singer has always been my dream, rather my mum's wish i wud say. and now that i hav given quite a few performances on stage, i am happy that i hav set my path towards my dream. As every singer says, my first guru was none other than my mum. yea, i still remember running around the house, blindly repeating the lines sung by her, in my own childish voice..little did she realise that i wud become the proud disciple of the gr8 living legend "smt.D.K.Pattammal" but then it didnt happen that soon. we shifted from mumbai to chennai, for my parents rightly thought it was always better to bring up a child under the luv and care of elders(especially the grand parents). and there began my real musical journey. i was in my 2nd std wen i attended my first formal music class and my teacher was ms.Ashwathi(disciple of smt.D.K.Pattammal). startin from the basics of carnatic music...SA RE GA MA....my learning process continued successfully for about 6 yrs under her teaching. one fine day, my teacher felt that it was the right time fr me to take up music a bit more seriously, in the sense..to persue it as my future career. and today i am really thankful to her for being so kind and pushing me a step forward in my musical journey. yea! she was the one who introduced me to my present guru , a gr8 celebrity whom i wud'nt hav even imagined of just meeting her in person, if not fr her.
its been a grrrrrrrr8 honour to learn from such a gr8 woman! but i was too young to realise her gr8ness wen i was a beginner. and she used to be such a loving and wonderful teacher, (i am too small to talk about her anyways, so i restrict myself for it wud be highly childish to comment on a legendary person). since then, i hav cum a loooong way in music and today, my parents feel really happy for their right decision at the rite time. the bombay life wud hav been more enjoyable but i wud'nt hav got this opportunity unless i was here...
though its been a real long way, as my guru always quotes "sangeetha saagaram" which means music is a never ending ocean and its a never ending learning process....i hav a long way to achieve atleast a very small part of wat my guru has done... for which i realize the amount of hard work to be done, and i'm sure i will live up to their(amma, appa and my guru) expectations and make my mum's wish cum true, very soon!
