My Thoughts Keyboarded

Lunch time at office has become more interesting due to my pregnant colleague. Every now and then she would ask us to do tummy watch for possible movements and occasional baby kicks. The baby seems to have performance pressure though, it hardly moves while we are watching. It might dance to the drums. Mata hari bungalow the hotel we stayed, from the breakfast hall After visiting few temples along the way we went to see the famous traditional dance of Bali called Kecak. Its Balinese dance cum drama performance orchestrated by male chorus (no music instruments used). A group of men sit in semi circle around a lighted lamp while the dancers perform scenes of Ramayana . The open auditorium suddenly got jam packed with audience around 7:30 pm and the only lighting was from the lamps lit in the center of the stage. The show started as men started chanting the word “cak” and occasionally threw their arms up in the air towards the lamp. This action denotes the Hanuman / Vanaras –...

I am pretty much addicted to music. I can survive Mondays without coffee but not without songs. The first thing I do at work is tuning into AOL online radio and put on my earphones. Also I have noticed that they play songs according to my mood, blame it on law of attraction! I am very choosy about what I hear and take my time to upload a song to IPod. If I like a song thats being played in the radio, I find it in YouTube. I hear it online few times and only if it's impressive I download a mp3 copy. I don’t want to buy the entire album just for the one song I like - Which mostly turns out to be the only good song in the album. Off late I find recycled music everywhere. It’s either a remix or a tune that resembles one or more songs. Last week I was listening to Kelly Clarkson new song " Already gone ” which sounded like Beyounce’s- “Halo”. I noticed a striking similarity in the backing track, piano and drums. Apparently I am not the only one who felt this way. During YouTube ho...

Have your ever felt the power of Music in you? Things which you cant even express in words?! Switch off the lights, Lock the door, The world can wait, it’s your time! Play your favourite music and lie down Then you would know what I am talking about Music is who 'I AM' Sometimes it brings feelings which I don’t even know existed Sometimes it makes me cry in happiness Sometimes it takes me to myself Music is TRAVELLING I am in new land, I call it heaven I may fill it with flowers, clouds or music symbols I may then travel to special memories Music is NOW No more problems of today No more worries of tomorrow No more space or time Music is LOVELY Its ecstasy of first love, atoms in action Its as colorful as sunsets and rainbows Its as deep and filling as oceans MUSIC Haunts me Like recurring dream Like a morning beam Like a smiling baby Like a blushing lover Like a tail waving dog (dog potachu) Like a morning fog (edhugai monai vandhucha, vatsa chance ellai) Every breath I take, w...

Oh yes, now it’s your chance to tell your acquaintances that your friend is a Hero. (Drum role followed by “tish”) Yes it’s me! Ta – duh da Oh good you are still reading. which proves you have not fainted or still shaking your head equivalent to that of wet dog trying to get dry. So I repeat, (like in military movies after missile shot, 'I repeat target still not destroyed' ) I did actually act in the leading role of an album. Even I couldn't believe it when “Whatever productions” decided to cast me in the main role (May god save it!).After small budget production, retakes, lack of numerous stuff and long hours of editing. The video is finally out for everyone to see and it’s in you tube! "Views" increasing every minute ( yaar pakkarangaradhu vera vishayam). I can see you are all excited and jumping to see it, but wait! Please read the disclaimers before seeing it. Disclaimer 1: This creative stuff belongs to new age, no copyright violation.

I am going crazy Completely Addicted Mesmerized Hypnotised I have gone mad (adhan theriyumennu solla kudaadhu) I have to confess it I know I can’t say it directly to you So I am writing this (oru post podanumnu edhayaavadhu ezhudha vendiyaadhu) To you and to the whole world I am so into it Yes I am in love And it feels so good to admit it All smiley Bubbly Chirpy Windy And so Happy It’s like adrenaline waterfall inside (namalukku scientific vaarthai pottu pammathu kaata mudiyum la) I never know it is possible That I could taste honey in ears Until I heard you (ahaa peter jaasthiya erukko , kammi panniduvom) To be honest I did not like you at first Until last week when I happen to hear you Now I can’t take it out of my head When I speak about you I go all red So here it goes...

When I went to cafeteria last evening , I couldnt stop admiring the wonderful sunset.It like gold glittering everywhere. Its bright, its gold and yellow .It feels heaven. God must be a painter! While thinking about this , I also remembered one of my favorite song by MLTR - Paint my love written by jascha richter. Isn't it amazing to compare ones love to 1000 sunsets!If one sunset is so beautiful what can I say about 1000! I always get mesmerized by such beautiful lyrics. I was wondering whether I can watch a perpetual sunset. I mean a sunset which never end. Of course Yes... I can do. If you are wondering why I have gone nuts, here is the principle not from me.. but from "how stuff works" Let's say you are in plane flying westward around the Earth's equator. At the equator, the time zones are a little over 1,000 miles (1,609 km) apart, so to cross one every hour, your plane would have to fly at over 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 kph). If you started flying at 12:00 ...

There are three reasons to write this post, No1 - I don't want the " not a good post " to be the first one when people open my blog, not to be too negative and whining. No 2 - I want to keep writing so that I can improve my writing skills. No3 - well oops!, I don't have a third reason, but 3 reasons seems like a good number :) I was in A R rehman music coma and just came out of it. Seriously what happened to this guy , I did see "Range de pasanti" and "mangal pandey" but I really dont see a A R rehman of Roja, Indira, Alaipayudhey days. I hear some news about him now and then that he is doing concerts in abroad or doing some stuff, but seriously this guy seems to have lost his roots as Tamil music director. When I heard the latest Wordspace advertisement where he defines what music is, wow cant stop admiring the background music he composed for that advertisement. while writing this blog also it keeps buzzing in my mind like repeating record. I am ...
