LYRICS OF Yeh Ishq Hai from JAB WE MET

Haan hai Koi to wajah
Jo jeena ka maza yun aane laga
Yeh hawaon mein hai kya
Thoda sa jo naasha yun chane laga
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Hua hai teri raahon mein aakar (pucho na pucha na)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Milega teri bahon mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Todi maine sare hi bandhan zamane tere
Todungi na mein vada
Aadha hissa mere to dil ki kahani ka tu
Piya mein baaki aadha
Dekho na dekho mujhe kya hua hai
Teri yaadhon mein kho kar
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya hua hai
Teri baton mein jeekar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Mere jaise lakho mile honge tujhko
Piya, mujhe to mila tuu hi
Tu hi mere hooton ki khilti hui si hasi
Gila bhi piya tu hi
Dekho na dekho mujhe kya hua hai
Tujhe sapno mein lakar (dekho na dekho)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya hua hai
Teri baaton mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

Haan hai koi to wajah
Jo jeena ka maza yun aane laga
Yeh hawaon mein hai kya
Thoda sa jo naasha yun chane laga
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Hua hai teri raahon mein aakar (pucho na pucha na)
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Milega teri bahon mein aakar

Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan

DO NOT THINK THAT I HAV...

Quit blogging...Here i come with much more interesting and many many things to talk about! A short story of why i hadn't been blogging all the while would be my post for today as a start up.

Well..I'm really happy to share with you all that i have successfully completed my 4 yrs of engineering in first class with distinction. And that my brother has got an admission at ICFAI, hyderabad and its already been a month and a half since he's left home. Since then, its just been "ME" at home attracting all the attention possible from mum and dad...which in a way has been really good but at times different(not bad) !
My limitless but limited vacation has been absolutely enjoyable and useful and i just didn't find the time to pool in my thoughts as and then. I had spent the first few days of my holidays painting and drawing....trying out new different art works....one of them being the glass embossing. Glass painting was another thing that i tried this time which turned out to be a wonderful pass time. I had the chance to learn a special kolam(rangoli) called "sahasra dhala padmam" meaning 1000 petal lotus from my granny. Though i knew and drew such rangolis at ease usually...this one required a special way of drawing it. Lot of calculations and dimensions that would exactly bring 1000 petals had to be done before starting it. Coloring it was even calculative and consumed a lot of time but i loved every moment creating this piece of art :)
I guess i would have taken a week's time to complete it but now it would remain on the wall beautifully framed for ever to boast about my painting skills... lol!

The next few days i went shopping ...enjoyed myself lazying around ...eating...movie watching...facebooking...orkutting...and tweeting(my latest addiction) and happily spent those days having absolute fun!

A few days in Bangalore was my next plan and it was so much fun! I even maintained a travelogue so that i could get back and post it in my blog but there was so much to do and enjoy there...that i totally forgot to complete it :P Never the less i still remember the entire trip and may be i would write it as a different post later.

Back home then and had to get my marksheets and certificates from college...doing this job was quite irritating as chennai's heat was taking a toll but then meeting friends in college was fun!

So all said and done, Its going to be a blogging spree for a while now and i am happy that i started it today! Keep looking for posts on novels...movies...recipes...photography and music!

CHEERS !!

Father of the bride (a) Abhiyum naanum

         

       I happened to see this movie called 'FATHER OF THE BRIDE' which only after watching i realised that it had been the same story that was remade into the recently released tamil movie 'ABHIYUM NAANUM'. The latter one ofcourse i liked very much and saw the movie more than twice. But i liked the english version even more. 

  Not only this movie but i have started watching a lot of english movies these days and finding so many stories being copied straight away by the kollywood directors as in the tamil version of 'sleeping with the enemy'  being remade as 'urchagam'.

What ever it is...as far as the movies are a gud time pass, i enjoy watching anything and everything any number of times :P

so wats wid all of you people? Any gud movies that you hav seen lately?

THE MOST ENTERTAINING SHOW I"VE EVER SEEN...!

    There is this show on kalaingar tv called "VPL" from 9:30 to 10:30pm thru out the week and i just had a chance to watch it today. It is the 1st time i'm watching it and lol...watta comedy! 

   Its all about 4 people chatting, debating and gossipping about the IPL and what makes it so lively is the comedy and fun they portray!

 It was so funny that i cud'nt stop laughing for continuous 10 mins...It is a really great show and the cricket lovers (who know tamil) would definitely enjoy the show as i did! Do watch this show once and you'll become a great fan of it! 

Have fun! CHEERS!

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!

Carnatic music moves beyond its boundaries...

There are rare times when a classical art form moves past its well etched boundaries to present itself in a new medium with added sparkle and sheen. For Carnatic music this is that moment; the moment when timeless tradition chooses to don the attire of the times. The Kutcherry or the Carnatic Concert has now embraced the magic of cinema. For the first time ever, classical music of South India will beckon music lovers across the world from the silver screen - Margazhi Raagam.

The Artists
Renownwd carbatic musicians Bombay Jayashri and T.M.Krishna are the performing stars of "Margazhi Raga"

"Margazhi Raagam" ---> enjoy carnatic music like never before!!

THE KALKI DAY

109 years later and he is still in our minds! It was an occasion to remember the contributions of Kalki Krishnamurthy, a freedom fighter, nationalist writer and novelist. The Kalki Krishnamurthy Memorial Awards were distributed to two young artists at the Bharatiya Vidyabhavan Auditorium here on Tuesday on the 109th birth anniversary of Kalki Krishnamurthy The editor of Dinamani, Mr. K. Vaidhyanathan graced the occasion with his presence and presented the awards to singer Gayathri K, and mridangam player, Ganapathy Raman. Comparing his invitation to be present at the occasion, to a Nobel Prize, Mr. Vaidhyanathan was all praises for Kalki and his contributions to the literary world. "Kalki was a great man who commanded respect from all walks of life. His works can be compared to those of Bharathi's with regards to the continuous effort that is put into his writings. In the 19th century when novels were not accepted, every person who read one of Kalki's books always made sure to read all. He gave importance not only to views, but also to news"
Besides the artists, their gurus, Mrs. Suguna Purushottaman and Shri Rangarajapuram Jayaraman were also honoured. Also present during the function was Mr. Kalki Rajendran, son of Kalki. The award ceremony was followed with a performance by the winners Gayathri and Ganapathy Raman, with Hemalatha and Anirudh Adhreya on the violin and kanchira respectively.

Well..i can see you wondering why this piece of information has been put up in my blog. Its just that i was given a wonderful opportunity of initiating this program with my prayer song which i consider very prestigious and a memorable day in my life. The following week, an article about this function had appeared in the tamil weekly-"KALKI" in which a small picture of mine and a few words about my singing were also included, and the pictures that you see are the ones i'm talking about. It was a great evening altogether and looking forward for a lot more opportunities to prove my mettle.

MY TRIP TO SATHANUR

My dad and I had planned to attend the sathanur koil kumbabishekam that was going to be held on the 15th of SEPTEMBER ’08. This is a short travelogue of my trip down south that includes the koil kumbabishekam as the major part of our tour.
It was 8.20 in the late evening when we started from home. I was a little too excited about this trip as it was my first trip with my dad as the only company through out the journey. With my brother jokingly commenting at me and my mom laughing at it, me and my dad started off for a long night drive in our car. Our plan was to pick up my uncle from his place and then head on to vaitheeswaram koil.
We reached pammal exactly at 9pm where my uncle had been awaiting us. Just a five minutes break and all the three of us left the place by 9.05. Mr.murugesan, our driver had accompanied us to the tour but my dad hardly let him drive the car. As car driving is something that he enjoys the most, guess he would really have had a very enjoyable time doing it.
Our first destination was obviously our kula theiva sthalam -vaitheeswaram koil for which we took the dindivanam route. From pammal, we caught the GST road and crossed my college SRM at around 9.50pm. What a colorful night it was, the lightings over tall buildings, highway lightings, and lights beaming out from the Lorries and cars which was a treat to the eyes. It’s very rare that we get to enjoy all such things in our daily routine. And on top of it all, with my dad’s excellent and smooth driving, I almost dozed off to sleep.
It would have been around 11.30pm when my dad woke me up for tea at a small tea shop in a place called “Irayanur” approximately 35kms from pondy. Though it was only a mouthful, it was highly refreshing and we geared up for the highway drive once again. I was listening to music in my i-pod, my uncle having a sound sleep, the driver accompanying my dad in the front and my dad driving-we crossed puthucheri at 12.00am and reached Chidambaram koil at around 1.40am. just as we’d been going, I’d dozed off once again when my dad woke me up saying we’d reached vaitheeswaram koil in less than 5 and a half hours. The time was 2.10 early in the morning. After sending the driver to his hometown-kumbakonam, we lodged our bags and luggage in a small room near the temple and took a nap for a very short while.
At 5.00 am, my dad, uncle and I vacated the room and went into the temple to take the holy dip(snanam) in the koil kulam which is considered auspicious. It is believed that a dip in that holy pond would make you free from all the diseases as the temple is famous for lord Vaitheeswaran. I’d been there many times since childhood but this time, it was a new experience as I already said, it was the only trip without my mom’s company. I was given the responsibility of taking care of my dad, myself and the belongings all myself which was indeed a great task. Once we got ready, we had a very nice dharisanam of the god-vaitheeswaran and the goddess aavudai naayaki and returned to our car. My dad and I went to a near by stall to have our morning break-fast which was a small cup of tea. We usually have a practice of going to the famous “thayyal nayaki” a small hotel where we had our breakfast after every dharisanam when ever we went as a family, but this time it was only this small cup of tea as my uncle had to fast for the "chathurmasiyam viratham".
Thirumanancheri was our next nearest destination which was a sudden inclusion in our trip. The place is famous for lord shiva’s temple(uthvaganaathar well-known as “kalyana suntharanar”). It is believed that a person looking for his/her marriage is blessed to get married soon if he/she visits this temple-kalyana suntharanar koil. From there, we drove to “neruveli” a small village near thirumanancheri. This place is famous for the “utharavaahini kaveri river”. At around 10am, my dad and uncle decided to have another holy dip in this kaveri river. I noticed something strange there- my uncle applying the soil from the banks of the river kaveri on to his body, and to my astonishment, my dad too was following him. When I asked what was that all about, my uncle explained that it was as good as using a soap and that it had a lot of medicinal values. May be it sounded too superstitious to me, but no wonder my dad was amazed by his uncle’s dedication and values of such beliefs. I clicked a few snaps of the place and shot the fast running clear water of the kaveri in my vedio camcorder. All the three of us had our home-made food that we’d packed for our tour. We relaxed there for about an hour and headed off to sathanur.
Just as we started from there, my uncle suggested that we would visit the “vana durgai koil” at kathiramangalam and soon our plans changed all over again. On our way to that temple, we came across another small mariamman koil where kumbabishekam was going on. We were right on time to attend the poornaahuthi which was around 10.40am. And 20 minutes drive from there, we reached the kathiramangalam temple.
I had become pretty exhausted by then, wonder how my dad managed to drive with so much energy. Quite a long drive from there and at 1pm, we reached our final destination “Sathanur”-my dad’s native. I’m sure it would have been a nostalgic experience to him for he kept telling me his old memories and his childhood stories throughout the trip with such an excitement. We went to hari mama’s(my dad's 1st teacher) house where we’d planned to stay for the night. The old lady(hari mama’s wife) was kind enough to welcome us and serve lunch which was around 2 o clock in the noon. After so many hours away from home, I had a “feel good” experience there, a feeling of being “at home” again. Evening at around 6pm, the temple visits began once again. We visited almost all the temples in sathanur ranging from the smallest and the oldest to the biggest and most famous temples. One evening was definitely not enough to admire the nuances of the temples. Mr. and Mrs. Shankar (hari mama’s daughter) had also accompanied us to visit these temples. Wow!! Wat a woman she is! One of the very very few people whom I admire is this lady-Mrs.Raji shankar. It seems she’d been born and brought up in sathanur and no wonder every tom dick and harry knew her so well. She was so friendly, and made me feel comfortable through out my stay in sathanur. We had a sound sleep that night in their house.
Next morning, on the day of kumbabishekam, I woke up at 5am and got dressed up to attend the kumbabishekam. After having breakfast, we went to the temple and the pre-kumbabishekam rituals were going on. My dad was thoroughly enjoying his day, meeting his old friends. I was made to sing a few songs over the mike on stage, another thing that my dad really enjoyed. The temple was getting crowded as time went. Almost the entire village had gathered there to watch this great event. Finally, the kumbabishekam took place in a very grand manner and I had taken few shots in my camera. It was time for lunch, and we all had a great feast in one of the biggest houses in sathanur, and the family was known for their hospitality.
We relaxed for a very short while and I then started packing for my trip back home. It must have been 2pm by the time we started off from the little village. From there, we went to kumbakonam to pick up our driver and headed off to Chennai. Again a long drive and I spent the time listening to music and messaging my friends. Back to Chennai in no time, dropped my uncle at his place and reached home safe. I must agree I missed my mom a real lot, but then altogether it was a wonderful and memorable short tour down south with my dad.

A DAY IN MY ROUTEIN...

As i was drafting one of my other posts, my dad just happened to go through my blog for the first time, and i must say he was pretty impressed with it. Guess he hadn't expected me to do something of this sort, meaning, something different from what i usually do-"orkutting"!
And what surprised me more was that he spent few more minutes reading my other posts and was excitedly appreciating me for this new venture of mine. I felt really elated and good about it. He also suggested that i could write more about myself rather than posting other stuffs which would make it much more interesting. So i thought, why not, start off wid my daily routien.
well, my day begins at 5.30 in the morning...the time when you will find my mum trying hard to keep her temper under control, and dad calling out my name a few hundred times patiently and the famous "me" enjoying the so called "5 mins sleep" until my alarm starts yelling. The clock strikes 6 and my daily monotonous routein starts..time alloted for my music practice is from 6 to 6.20am which i hardly stick on to (giving a lame excuse and postponing it to the evening). finally, i get ready for an enjoyable day in college and reach my bus stop exactly at 7.06am! My journey to college is almost a short tour that requires atleast an hour to reach the college campus provided there's not much of a traffic. Once i enter the college, its fun and only fun , enjoyment and excitement for the rest of the day. I just luv being with friends, chatting, eating together, etc etc etc and all the usual stuffs that happens inside a class! And SRM being an excellent place for enjoyment, i really have a wonderful time around. at 3.30 pm, time to relax ourselves after the tiresome lectures thru out the day, getting together again for a nice chit-chat with friends discussing and gossipping as we board our respective buses for another short tour back home. I reach home at around 5.50pm, my mum waiting with a cup of hot tea and refreshments. The moment i enter the house, i log on to orkut and spend my precious time wasting on chatting-as my mum keeps scolding. [:P] After a long argument with her( mostly regarding my postponed practice or orkutting) i begin my practice for the day. It goes for about an hour say, till 7.30pm and then its dinner time, followed by tv watching, online chatting, and blogging o'course(the recent additions to my routein) that keeps me awake till 12 or 1 or at times even 2am in the night. And one thing that i deliberately missed out to mention in my daily routein is "talking over the phone" which is b'coz i din't know where to insert that. lolz, yeah...that's one thing i am really addicted to apart from orkutting and it goes on and on and on thru out the day what so ever.
And this is how my day ends...! well i don't think this post would hav bored you much, as its always human tendancy to get curious to know about others' day to day activities..:P
i'd like to get your suggestions to know if i can proceed writing something of this kind or continue with stuffs like the previous ones.

KUSELAN- a review

If you want to see and enjoy a family drama with sentiment, clean comedy and neat portrayals, Kuselan is the only answer among all the recent releases. Kuselan, truly the most awaited movie of the year is released amidst lot of expectation and fanfare today and no doubt the film is surely a different attempt by Superstar Rajinikanth and Vasu.

First we should congratulate Rajini and director P Vasu for the honest remake of the meaningful Malayalam original Katha Parayumbol (of course there are some cliches, but those are tolerable!). The gist of the story is very simple but interesting. Rajini wants to convey the importance of true friendship. 'Matha, Pitha, Guru, Nalla Nanban and finally God' is the new lineup that the Superstar follows in real life too and the message to convey the young generation to follow.

Balu alias Balakrishnan (Pasupathy) is a poor barber, who is living in a tiny village Marayur and struggling to manage his day today life with a beautiful wife (Meena) and three children. He is unable to buy some good basic equipment to develop his barber shop located in the local Market. But he is quite satisfied with what he has despite the antics of his competitor (cum one time assistant!) Vadivelu, who earns lot of money by forcing local people to visit his shop for cutting and shaving.

One day the entire climate of the village totally changes just because of the arrival of Superstar Ashok Kumar (Rajinikanth) for shooting his film. Everyone in the village go to see and take photographs with the Superstar. But heavy police and Z category security force prevent them to have a glimpse of the Superstar.

Meanwhile news spreads around the village that Balu and the Superstar are close childhood friends. After knowing the fact, everyone in the village give new respect to Balu and his family. The local money lender comes forward to help him to develop his saloon with all brand new modern equipments to just get an intro with the Superstar. Everyone in the village wants to cash in on their friendship.

But just because of his ego, Balu does not like to even pay a visit to the guest house where the Superstar is staying. But the entire village, including his own family members force him to visit the Superstar and renew their relationship. How do the old friends meet at last? The question leads to the sensational, never ever seen climax of the film.

For years, many have doubts and questions about Rajinikanth's personal life, Himalayan trips, saint like life style and political interests. In a face to face conversation between Rajini and a critic (Sundar Rajan), P Vasu exposes the other side of the Superstar well. The way Rajinikanth replies to all the queries of Sundar Rajan is excellent and it helps the Superstar himself to satisfy a faction of people, who are always pinpoint him.

No doubt, Rajini is the real star of the entire show. From the second reel itself the film rounds the Superstar. Most of the scenes reflect Rajini's real life incidents and not even exaggerated a bit. Performance wise Rajini easily overtakes all the characters and particularly in the sensational climax everyone is stunned with the outstanding, class performance of Rajinikanth. (I have witnessed that most of the young audiences came out from the show with tear and mostly women audience hail the superior performance of Rajini!)

Pasupathy who comes throughout the movie has done his role well. Meena just repeats the same performance that she has already done in the original. Vadivelu is one of the real winners of the show. Particularly in a scene with the superstar, Vadivelu has played well and showed the exact feelings of a villager while he is happening to see a superstar once in his poor life. Nayantara is just appearing as the co-star of the movie and she has also done her job quite well. Other comedians Santhanam, Livingston, MS Bhaskar, Brammanandam, Chinni Jayanth have also played their part well and help a lot maintain the tempo of the film.

Aravind Krishna gives a new tone to the movie and his style of picturisation is really good. Three songs of GV Prakash Kumar are hummable but the opening song of the Superstar is not up to the level to Rajini's earlier films. The Superstar is just appearing in the film for just 40 minutes. But most of the audiences feel that it is a different but complete Rajini movie.That is the magic of superstar Rajinikanth!
