Music

There is some sort of power to this thing called " Music" . As this famous quote goes
when words fail -"music speaks" ..trust me ..i experience it so much in my life ..

Sometimes , all i got to do is just listen to some of the songs that can make me come back
to the zing mode. I am so emotional and can feel so easily weak hearted even when the problem
is not related to me or my family .All i have to do then is ,listen to a lovely composition that can pep me up .
And is it only me or many others too who feel this way about some songs ...
Whenever i listen to tamizha ,tamizha -i feel some kind of patriotism arising inside.
And when i listen to some songs like Pani vizhum malarvanum and recent songs like Hosana, Nenjukkul
all those rehman ,harris melody ..i feel bloody romantic . Of course, some of these songs even bring some nice memories to my mind. And how can i forget some of these peppy pop numbers. Oh , i crazily sing along too. i remember during school times , keerthi and i used to just hum along and have competition amongst us .
Even appa added to it by asking us questions on name of music directors , lyricist of some of the old hindi songs .We had fun playing those quizzes. Then , there was no computer at home or we did not  even know what was google to figure out answers .It was wild guesses or answers that we would have to recollect names based on some previous conversations . Some of the english songs that kept repeating on our tape recorder were Ricky Marting -Maria , Steps, Macerana. And now it  seems so funny but still am unable to stop myself from thinking how Keerthi and i recorded our singing talent ..we used to even practice before the recording .And like some expert musicians ..we even hummed the lines or the chorus for the other :-)
I still remember recording kannalane song from bombay and the " gubusu gubusu chikku " en all that !!!

How can i leave out the anthakshari competitions .it continued even at work places . I always won those
competitions . It is fun and  fun and just fun !!!
Having good knowledge on both hind and tamizh songs helped me win those games as most of the participants would be well versed with  just one of the languages songs and not so much with the lyrics.

Some songs leave you with nice feelings , some pep you up , some makes you dance and some brings in sadness .. Some voices are so deep and they have the power to create magic ...Like A R Rahman and Mohd Rafi ..off late , i like Alisha's too ..she was too good with her rendering on Tera hone laga hai ...
ARR ..solla ve vendaam ..some of his songs haunt you and some are rendered with so much bhakthi -like Haji ali , Khwaja meri khwaja. I have to talk about Ilayaraja ...can't leave out his compositions ..some songs are awesome ..he has made the best use of  orchestra in his times ... violin was used so much !!

Music has so much power ... Vihaan turns around to the computer or TV when some song is played.
He loves the DOCOMO jingle ...he is keenly watching the TV when Docomo ad comes .And i always play old macdonald song on the computer when he his having his food . Now when i sing that song he looks at the computer thinking that song usually comes from there :-)

It amazes me ... Music and it's power !!!!

No wonder JAI HO got us the OSCAR !!!!!
