Silence..the magic spell !!!

Sometimes it feels that talking does not seem to solve much.. sometimes we speak volumes through silence.. I just had such an encounter with the eloquence of silence..and it has left my eyes moist.. we all demand some things to be said to us..most of the time.. things that 'I care'.. ' I luv'..but may be I never tried to understand the beauty of things someone can convey without uttering a word... now I know.. those gentle..subtle deeds and words..matter a lot..it is that which make life much more beautiful and worth living..

One song which comes to my mind now is 'Aahista' by Pankaj Udas...the wow song from the wow musician.. It has always remained in the list of favourites..a song so subtle and as gentle as the breeze that passes through the fields...without making the tiniest of noise.. a serene..soothing experience.. Pankaj Udas is a fab singer and a brillaint musician whom I look upto..A very old track..it still is as fresh as it can get..

The kind of love the song depicts conquers all barriers of culture and nationalities... where life is bliss.. I agree to the saying that "It is only when you have both divine grace and human endeavour that you can experience bliss.." life becomes blissful when you take that extra step to know.. to understand the language of silence..sometimes the most precious moments of your life is wrapped underneath the silence of those unsaid words.. let there be a fresh breeze of unsaid unborn words in our lives... let there be love..

Never miss that gentle wind that blows in to your life... never miss the depth of silence in others.. never let your mind get this feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should have been paying attention to..never let it feel that you did not experience it at all..for it is true that "it is better to know and then accept it rather than not to know and always wonder.." :) coz the most important things in life are not 'things'... so think of it..dream of it...live for it...As Gibran says.. "The reality of a person is not what he reveals to you..but what he cannot reveal..so if you would want to understand him listen not to what he says..but what he does not.. "

"Sometimes I wish that I was the weather...you would bring me up in conversation.. and when it rained.. I would be the talk of the day.."

PS: This song dedicated to the one who made me understand the magical eloquence of silence and the mesmerizing beauty of it.. :) thanks yet again.. I have found my dream!

The vibrant colours of music!!!!!!!!

Music has a rejuvenating effect most of the times... It just revitalizes your soul and makes you fall in love with everything around you. This is exactly what Harris Jeyaraj's songs from the Tamil movie "Vaaranam Aayiram" will do to you. I have always wondered how people create music. It’s such a divine thing …creating something out of the world.. It has always amazed me. Ever since I have known music….

The entire album has a whole lot of surprises in it. The seven songs in it, which has seven different shades and moods, just will make you feel “WOWED”. I am astonished by Naresh’s and Prashanthini’s “Mundhinam” and don’t get the right to words to explain the magic in Sudha ragunathan’s voice when she sings “Anul Mele”. I kinda missed Bombay Jayashri singing to Harris’ tune. But yes, Sudha will never let you down.. The added surprise element is Shruti Hassan rending her husky voice to “Adiye kolluthey” . Came across many reviews on the song which said it is a flick from “Alaipayuthe” song “Ententrum punnage”..but whatever little I have known of music I feel it is just the rhythm and the tune as it is very original. There is this gentle rock music touch to most of them and Harris has done a wonderful job of blending various genres…

“Vaaranam Aayiram” is an awesome come back of my favourite composer after some disappointments we all had of late. This is just him, the creator of original feel fresh music. With all his favourite instruments..Sax, Violin, Veena, Drums, Mouth organ and not to forget the guitar interludes… It has given me a million reasons to smile and just has changed the entire thought process where I started my day sulking and the moment the songs were on there was a drastic change of mood. Well.. that says it all. This is the “BEFORE” and “AFTER” effect and it’s a soothing feeling all of you out there will experience

“Vaaranam Aayiram” is so full of colours and life. Am all ears when I look forward to “Yodha-II”- sequel of the Malayalam film “Yodha” (1993) for which Rahman himself gave music for. Am sure you are just gonna create magic again in that… Keep composing…a million other songs from you we await… keep amazing us…
