When I was in College, I listened to Sonu Nigam for the first time. To his early album - Deewana. I was instantly dissolved by the joy of his singing. There was no doubt in my mind that he was going to rule the world of Indian playback singing. He did soon afterwards.
Being a great A R Rahman fan from my high school days, I got this thought. "How will it feel if Sonu sings to A R Rahman's tunes ?". I was overwhelmed by thinking about this possibility.
Later, the two combined to create many awesome songs like "Sat Rangee Re" in the movie "Dil Se".
Somehow they were not like the song that I had imagined. Years later, a song was born in the movie "Jhoota Hi Sahi" where my dream was fulfilled. The song "Do Nishaniyaan(Shorter Version)" magically created the same feelings in me when I imagined this a decade back.
Surreal. Magical. These moments make life worth living. Catch a glimpse. And download it if you wish.
Dido. One of the few western musicians I have been listening to. Simple and honest music with a subtly passionate singing style.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn these 2 got together for the song "If I rise" in Danny Boyle's movie - "127 hours".
Sounded interesting to me on my first listening. As usual, Rahman has rowed into uncharted waters. The amalgamation does n't appear revolutionary to me. At least yet. But I am happy.
Bangalore feels like paradise today. I mean, just the weather.
Noon was served chilled today. And I am loving it !
Chennai is being lashed by the rain gods, maybe that is creating these unusually cold winter days in Bangalore ? Top it with the fact that I had to wake up early and went cycling.
I wonder if life can remain so joyous like this over longer periods of time. Without any bells and whistles like money and fame.
