Moment of Ecstacy



To spell bharathi's words "Ethanai Kodi Inbam Vaithai Iraiva"....I couldn't control my moments joy of touching and feeling my new Keyboard (Yamaha PSR E403) which i had bought after postponing my purchases and controlling my temptations for the last few years.

Postponements were not made bcos of the price/issues surrounding them, but purely on the basis of how am i going to bring that to India (which is still a nightmare). But when i started playing for the first time i enjoyed every moment of the whole night.

I had a small session of trying my hand on few songs of Raja (few background scores etc), it was a fun which cannot be described in words, it has to be experienced.

My next sessions would be on the christmas day and i am looking forward to it so eagerly.

Akashe Jyotsna.....

I had read this poem after watching Hey Ram and forgot to capture the beauty of the lyrics written by Jibonanda Das, probably mesmerised by the piano recital composed by Illayaraja (I am not sure whether it was stephen devasi who played the piece for IRaja - Nee partha paravaikku or Nandri...) The original lines of the bengali poem is described here (which was recited by Rani Mukherjee in the film)... Akashe jyotsna Phuler pathe chita baagher gayer karam Hridoy amar horin jano Ratrer ei niraboder bhetor, kondike cholechi? Rupali paatar chaya amar shorire Kothao kono horin neyi Aar joto door jaayee, kaashter moton banka chaand Shesh shonale horin, shorsho khete niyeche jano Taar par dhire dhire dube jaache Shata shata mrigedaar choker ghumer andhokaarer bhetor The translation goes here.... Moonlight in the sky On the Forest Trail the Scent of the Leopard My Heart is like Deer In the Silence of this night, which way am I going? The silvery shadow of leaves on my body No more deer anywher...

Pichai Patram (Bhikshai Patra)- Lyrics

Absolutely stunned by the philosophical and lyrical beauty of the song.....illaiyaraja once again proves why he alone can deliver such a song with substance. Even though it has been reused in the "Naan Kadavul" Film - the original version sung by Raja was class apart - with more meaningful / insightful rendition. Thanks Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi for bringing out a masterpiece from IR. பிச்சை பாத்திரம் ஏந்தி வந்தேன் ஐயனே என் ஐயனே யாம் ஒரு, பிச்சை பாத்திரம் ஏந்தி வந்தேன் ஐயனே என் ஐயனே பிண்டம் என்னும், எலும்போடு சதை நரம்பு உதிரமும் அடங்கிய உடம்பு எனும் பிச்சை பாத்திரம் ஏந்தி வந்தேன் ஐயனே என் ஐயனே பிண்டம் என்னும், எலும்போடு சதை நரம்பு உதிரமும் அடங்கிய உடம்பு எனும் பிச்சை பாத்திரம் ஏந்தி வந்தேன் ஐயனே என் ஐயனே அம்மையும் அப்பனும் தந்ததா இல்லை ஆதியின் வல்வினை சூழ்ந்ததா அம்மையும் அப்பனும் தந்தடதா இல்லை ஆதியின் வால் வினை சூழ்ந்ததா இம்மையை நான் அறியாததா இம்மையை நான் அறியாததா சிறு பொம்மையின் நிலையினில் உண்மையை உணர்ந்திட பிச்சை பாத்திரம் ஏந்தி வந்தேன் ஐயனே என்...

Paatu Paadava....

Thanks to Geeman for tagging me and hailing me as a musical connoiseur. I have been planning to write an blog on music for a very long time and this was just a start from my favourites. I have tried to list down the best romantic duets in tamil films and here they are: TOP 10 romantic duets in tamil: Ulavum thendral katriniley - mandhiri kumari This was from the movie called mandhirikumari and this was one of the most romantic songs boat songs ever featured in B&W era. Probably doordarshan might be the only owner of this movie/print but still i enjoyed the tune (composed on the raag maandu which unfortunately tried in Iruvar's Narumugaye) and the tempo of the song set exactly as the tempo of the boat ride. MK radha one of the yesteryear actors was playing the negative shade in this movie had a brilliant portrayal. Maasile unmai kadhale - Alibaba and 40 thieves This was undoubtedly a masterpiece from the eastman color genre. This was one of the rare AM rajah - MGR combo (if not ...
