The First Song that Comes to my Mind by A R Rahman is "Enge enathu kavithai".Its my all time favourite ,rendered by none other than Chitra. She has a enthralling voice..!!

On the music front ARR changes midstream from western drums to Mirudangam in this song.I tried my best to perform this song.No chance...no one can compete chitra's voice.I can say, her voice is something extraordinary.

Thee..! thee..! thithikkum thee..!!


It takes me back to those exhilarating moments when I hear AR Rahman for the first time, that happened way back in early 90's. I still remember those magical moments when I heard ARR's albums for the first time especially "Kadhalan" - the chorus "Indhiraiyo ival sundariyo..", Thiruda Thiruda's "Thee thee thithikkum thee.." which
never failed to transport you to the world of fantasies and
beautifully mounted visuals.

Years passed by, A.R Rahman started losing his Midas touch, until "Rang De Basanti" happened. Back in Tamil after a l...ong time, I experienced those mesmerising moments all again with “ Munbe vaa “ from Jillunnu Oru Kadhal.

This time , I tried my best to do well this song “ thee thee”. It’s a wonderful experience ,singing in husky voice. Hope you enjoy this song.

Ondra renda asaigal ..!

Behind the calm and serene face lies the spirit to venture into the unearthed mystery of music. Harris Jayaraj !

A wonderful music director who can able to render a fusion of carnatic and western peppy beat with right orchestration. . With good percussions and a touch of 'Arabian' music stuff, he has managed to create a feel-good sound, which is sure to click. He has taken delivery of a new Euphonix MC Media Application Controller for his recording.

Recent years, I admired almost all the songs of Harris. I became a great fan of him after I heard the song “ Mercury mele “ .What a song.! What a lilt. Harris Jayaraj weaves wonders when he join hands with new directors. I never heard music directors used “sax” in a awesome way other than Harris..


Harris Jayaraj topples Rahman few years back. He broke ARR’s monopoly at the Filmfare Awards by bagging it for the film “minnale” I will be going on writing about his fantastic compositions and numerous songs with great tunes. I would like to mention song “ manjal veiyil” from vettaiaadu vilayaadu and “june ponal”, “unnale unnale” from the movie unnale unnale.Here, I tried my best to perform this song with some extra western touch. Let me know, how you feel about it.

Kaatre en vaasal vanthay !

One of the very beautiful song by A.R.Rahman. He has chosen the apt singers for this song. kavitha krishnamurthi's shrilled voice made me to hear this song many more times. She has a special voice and only few songs suits her voice.


This time, I am performing this song with Naveen, who has a great passion towards music and he has a very good talent to sing Ilayaraja's song in ilayaraja's voice. I find no difference at all :)
I would like to thank him for the wonderful k track and he has done a good job in mixing and effects too.

Hope you enjoy the song !
