Song - Azhagu Nilave ; Movie - Pavithra ; Year - 1994

I'm listening to it even now. My eyes are battling with tears. This song somehow disturbs me a lot. It has become a regular repeat in my car.

Listen to it, you'll feel what I say, there's no words to describe. I guess, Chitra would have gone in tears while singing this song.

It's my own country.

I can't get what I deserve. I need to bribe for my rights. Even if it's legal, I need to bribe to get things done.

A government officer, is not moving the applications of NOC for applying passport to the higher official's approval because she herself was denied for some reason sometime ago. And the victims of that frustration? All fellow government employees that comes for NOC. The file is not moving beyond this officer. A revenge for the response she got. Is there somebody to question these kind of officers?

When a government promotion panel is in place, with the positions vacant, the Higher official is not issuing the promotion order yet. Why?

What kind of system is it? Where is this country heading to? Huh.......

The man that redefined the contemporary Indian film music, is all set to march towards the Oscar podium. His work in the latest flick ‘slumdog millionaire” is the new carrier of his career to the next stage.

Almost every magazine on earth reviewing and giving laurels to the movie doesn’t fail to praise the final credit sequence of the film.

Watch this year’s Oscar nominations for the soundtrack or song, there could be this name called “A.R.Rahman”.

and lots more...

The Mozart of India has proved it yet again!

In recent times, the song, I listened to the most number of times than any other is "Dil Ka Rishta". Truely international composition with a brilliant blend. You listen to the heavy orchestration with a mix of rock kind of feel. The first thought I got is, its a perfect fit for a performance at the "American Idol". What else to say? I wish this finds a place in the Oscar nominations.

The other songs that I listen repeatedly are Tu mere dost and Tu musukura. Lovely songs that we can cherish this lifetime.

I loved the Shano shano remix better than the original version (in my opinion). I'm sure this would be seen in the future dance reality shows.

Zindagi is a soothing lullaby, with the soft rendition by Srinivas.

Mastam mastam, an interesting and soft rythmic song that my dad was tapping while travelling :-) !

Manmohini is another surprise and very interesting piece, that balances the album with genre cycle i guess.

There's nothing I would skip listening to in the album.

Thank you AR for such a gift to us again !!!
