Aparna’s Blog

Inspite of knowing that ARR’s unplugged concert was going to be telecast on DD last Sunday, I totally forgot about it and realized that I had forgotten to watch it only when I saw the messages in the group the next day! I finally found the time to watch the videos today and I just loved it! There should be more performances like this!

I switched on the computer planning to just check my mail and maybe read a few blogposts and then go to sleep early. But the result of watching the videos was that all I wanted to do was to just listen to his songs.

Dheemi Dheemi, Rang De Basanti, July Madham, If You Wanna Come Along, Puttham Pudhu Bhoomi, Spirit of Unity concert theme, Hey Goodbye Nanba, Andha Arabic, Aayo Re Sakhi, Veerapandi Kottayile, Like an Eagle, Chayya Chayya, Latika’s Theme, Muppadhu Nimidam, Mayya Mayya, Barso Re and the list goes on! I want to listen to all this and more right now, even while I am busy copying song after song of ARR to my mp3 player!

P.S: Writing this post has made me reminisce about how this blog was a couple of years back - when almost every alternate post of mine was on ARR’s music and the frequency of posts in this blog itself was much better than what it is now!

I have been hooked big time to TNS’ Dwijavanti RTP and Delhi 6 (the title song) for the past one week. 2 completely contrasting songs! Can’t stop humming ‘ye dilli hai mere yaar’. Won’t Delhi 6 be the perfect song to listen to when you are going for a drive on a highway? The magic of TNS’ Dwijavanti continues! Absolute beauty, isn’t it? It just makes you lose yourself in the blissful music! 40 min seem to pass by in a jiffy!

Last weekend was a great one and so very reminiscent of December Season, thanks to Svanubhava & Sikkil Gurucharan’s concert and Dr. Chithra Madhavan’s lecture, with which concluded my memorable weekend.

The months of July & August are a shopaholic’s delight, since there is a sale going on in almost every other shop! Pothys, RmKV, Chennai Silks, Mokshaa, Pantaloons, Westside to even Jute Emporium, Metro, Woodland, etc. etc.! Seeing the newspapers filled with all the ads announcing the sales, it’s hard not to be bitten by the shopping bug! And the result of that is the shopping I did in Rekha’s Boutique last month and in RmKV yesterday.
