Bhagyada lakshmi baramma

Composed by Purandara das set in Madhayamavati, Bhagyada lakshmi barama is a famous Carnatic kriti. Listen to Hindustani style sung by Pt. Bhimsen Joshi. Have also added Sudha Rajunathan rendition too.

Hyderabad International Airport has theme song.

I never knew there would be a theme song for buildings, railway station, theatres, beaches or airports. Apparently, Hyd’s newly build airport has one. Interesting part is that ARR has composed this theme song. List to this



I wonder why IPL has not roped ARR yet. Have they?

Arumbaagi Mutthhaayi Poovaay...

I have huge collection of IR's songs on my IPOD nano. This collection is my best companion during long runs. Best part is, get to hear those songs i have never heard before and with lot more involvement.

"Arumbaagi Mutthhaayi Poovaay" one such song i have never heard before but fell in love the moment i heard them. Sung by Thyagarajan and Susheela, "Arumbaagi..." Starts with beautiful flute piece, carried on by violin. Who can use flute and violin combo better than IR. Though the raga is Charukesi, has folk flair to it. Not sure who is the lyricist but he is not worth knowning here.

Another Charukesi from IR's list is "aadal kalaiyE" from film "Shri Ragavendra" sung by KJ. Keep a tab on the lyrics.
