SWAASAM -Music for a social cause

Image
I just realized that I didn't post anything on our second successful album "SWAASAM", released in aid of ARUWE. What to describe on this ? Success, Satisfaction, Solidarity, Sincerity, self-effacing ....the list goes on.... Thanks to all the celebrity singers: Benny, VVPrasanna, Haricharan, Vinaya and Priyadarshini... What a humbleness, down to earth character that they all had and adapted to our comfortness... It was a lively unforgattable experience for us, if at all we have to say so...What a gift for us to have these great versatile singers sing to our tunes and show their expertised improvizations...What a great satisfaction for us when they understood that this goes for a social cause. Of course a great memory for all of us, as we had our own Actor Dhanush and Music director James Vasanthan releasing this album and yet another milestone in our musical journey, which started from the hands of music director Vijay Antony. Yes, they all understood that we are doing it ...

Music ....where we are...

Its been a long time that I got into my blog for various reasons of being busy...now its time that I realized that I have not been updating my blog. Hence I decided that I should often keep visiting and posting my posts and comments on various activities. After a long time, we had a chance to regroup as HCL tech tunes for ISTD annual conference at chennai trade centre..We were fortunate enough to entertain the crowd from both illayaraja and rehmans music...everyone enjoyed in the audience and people had a chance to buy our album CDs too.. My sincere thanks to Vijayakumar Rangaraju - my friend / colleague at HCL for getting this possible... Will do more in the days to come...watch out guys....

I am back in business...

Many people were enquiring me as what happened to my blog updates ? I was so busy in the past 3-4 months, that I failed to keep in touch with my blog. In the coming days I have more to update ... Happy reading....

Story Time - Story #1 63 Vs 64 Kevin - Kasinathan, Story #2:Dr.Guru 19 to 39

It's been a long time that I have written short stories. I have always been thinking of music and humour all the way, where a short story of my friend santhana restarted the story writing in me. My way of writing stories is to imagine as if I am writing a story for a movie. Eventhough it's a short story, I try to write as if this story is going to be directed by some one in the film fraternity. Just gave a weird thought on these two stories and wrote this in a span of 2 days. These two stories have different plots and different audiences that it may appeal with. Whatever might be, request you to spend some time reading it. Might sound to you as a movie! Even if it does not appeal for all, I am sure it may appeal for some. It may not be my Cup of tea, but you can read this with a sip of your tea. Happy Reading and post your comments. If possible I have a poll at the end of this page, do answer that.

Aruwe (அருவி) - My first Album Creation

Image
It was a dream come true. At the age of 20 when I penned the lyrics and composed the song "Kaalai NeyraThendralai" during my college - Thermal engineering class, it was a dream to compose and release an album along with my college junior Mahesh, thanks to our HOD who was tak ing the class at that time in providing this rare oppurtunity :-). As Mahesh (keyboardist) went for his higher studies, the dream came to a stop (not fully). In the year 2005, when I met a likely minded close friend of mine - Benjamin in HCL, I had put forth this idea and that is where we thought of giving life to our dreams. We had the similiar likely minded people (Aarthi, Nivethitha and Sasidharan) who agreed to contribute and our efforts of creating an album came true with a social cause. Yes, we did the album for Aruwe ( www.aruwe.org ) with a social cause in mind as all the profit of selling this Album going towards aruwe. The album was released in 2006 at Kamarajar memorial hall,...
