Back to blogging!
So, here I am racking my non existant brain thinking, what should I write about, what should I write about, when the topic literally floats through my head.
So, me racking my brains does not necessarily mean that I have devoted my entire concentration mediating it. Rather it means that, in between fits of distraction, I make my mind wander through the fog that is the 'issue in question', whatever that may be.
The process of mediating leads me to the path breaking conclusion that when the fog lifts, my mind will still be blank! Aah, I can see a few smirks, freeze it right there. My thought process might look exactly like my expression at many a time- absolutely vacant, but yet, at many of these moments, my mind is experiencing a euphoric sensation of wonder contemplating a strain of melody. So my dear friends I take a decision to write about something that has become innate in me- Music.
Many a time, we all think that such and such a thing is an extension of our personality. In my case, its a part of it. From as far back as I can remember, I have always quenched a part of my creative thirst in the sea of music. This, however, does not necessarily mean that I understood the opportunities to further my musical journey. As a kid, I repelled efforts on the parts of my elders to hone my musical sense. While I rejected organized musical teaching, I tried to grasp whatever I could. The result is a passion for music that is deep seated.
Coming to think of it, music is one of the things in my life I have displayed contstant commitment towards and its something I seek to better with every passing day. I dont think I have displayed an abiding interest to anything else in my life, at least not to the extent to which it is evident in my music. Doesn't say much for me, but then it is an inescaable fact. So without any further ado, let me list some of my favourite songs. Oh C'mon!If you've gotten this far, you can read a bit more!!!!
My Top 10, in no particular order
Ilaya Nila- Payanangal Mudivathillai, hits the spot anytime!

hey Kali!!!!Thanks so much for the comment:)
Hey Ramya,
You stole the words out of my mouth. In particular, the part on organized music being thrust on you is pretty much in sync with my case. I forcibly didn't make the grade in classical music and thought I escaped thanks to my Dad's transfer. But still I make up for that disinterest with some of the best attention I could pay to a job and it refers to listening to music of almost all forms.In fact when I listen to music and start working, my work automatically gets done speedily without much fuss :). High powers of concentration :D
For an Ilayaraja fan, you must probably try listening to this one from "Poonthottam", "Meetadha oru veenai",No Kamal, No SPB. Murali
:( and Hariharan instead.Who cares for the actor anyway?:) For a medium which goes beyond language, an actor is hardly an obstacle :).
Hey Sree, thanks for your comments, I will def listen to those 2 songs u mentioned, for me theres no greater joy than discovering new jewels, esp Ilayaraja's. The best part of my 'job' is that I get to listen to music!!!!I would not have it any other way:D
I was wondering who this was until I went to ur blog,Not bad, so many sentences w/o any trace of mokkai:p,:d, just kidding!lol
Changed from "Sree" to "Marauder". No more confusion. okay ;)?
The movie is Poonthottam and song is "Meetadha oru Veenai"
A couple more to feed your soul :p
"Enna solli paaduvadho" from "En mana vaanil"
"Kannalae Kaadhal Kavidhai" from "Aathma" (99% think it is Ilayaraja's music)
"Appadi paakaradhunna vendaam" from "Ivan" (must be a familiar one)
"Kadhal nee dhaana" from "Time" must be a familiar one again I guess)
hey!thanks for ur list, am off to music india right now:d, actually u have rekindled my interest with these songs, I had forgotten abt them!:)
Hi,

For someone who has still not seen Captain Marvel's only worthwhile movie in the last decade, u shud listen to "Vaanavillaey" from Ramana, both versions of Sadhana Sargam and Hariharan.
