Inviting applications from interested girls.. hehe kidding ;-). So that is the song. Enakkoru Girlfriend, from the super hit movie BOYS. I can say some of A R Rahman's best songs are from this movie. I have given a try for this song just to know whether I can sing songs other than Carnatic based ones. So I am expecting feedbacks from my listeners about the song,the flaws I have made in this song and how I can improve myself to become a versatile singer. :-) .Please drop your feedbacks on my new attempt. Thanks a lot!!!

Again, a Raveendran Hit. Ezhu swarangalum, an ever green super hit in Malayalam Film song world. In this song Raveendran Master has utilized the amazing voice range of Shri.Yesudas. Rather than me writing down an essay about the song, I think the song itself will convey you :-). One more request, Please don't compare this with the original version, as this one is no where near the original one. :-) Please listen to my version and feel free to leave your comments on this.

Hi Friends, It is my great pleasure to inform you that this is my 25th song in my blog. I am really grateful for your supports and encouragements which helped me in doing more and more songs. When I started my blog and posted my first song "Nilakaikirathu" in my own orchestration on November 18th 2006 with Roshini's guidance, I never thought it would help me this much to improve my singing, Thanks billion to Roshini. The bloging have equipped me to take over more challenging songs. My growth in the bloging field was a very slow one which any one can make out from the figures, only 25 posts with in 2 years. Still I am a kid in this field. But the lessons I got from my fellow bloggers and their songs are really invaluable, especially Murali Ramanathan, Harshan and Krishna of Cincivoice, Joseph Thomas and Murali Venkataraman. I am thankful to all those musicians, from whom I could learn even a single Shruthi (note). I should thank my Mridangam Master Shri.Amaravila V Padmakumar, who is officially my first Guru in the Music field. I shouldn't forget my Vocal Masters, Smt.K S Sangeetha, Shri. Vellarada T R Rajeev, Smt.Vanaja Teacher and Shri.Apsalone Sir from whom currently I am getting trained in Karnatic Vocals and Key Board. I should extend my gratitude towards one of my ever best friends Shri. Aravind who showed me the real beauty of Ragas in music, who made me learn Ragas through his immense knowledge in this field. How can I forget my parents who have been giving me immense support for my musical journey? Also, I can't forget my listeners who have been giving me invaluable comments on my songs, especially BalaG Sir. And above all, I should thank the Almighty for blessing me with such a precious gift. Today I am trying something different. I tried to do the Saraswathi Sthuthi "Ya Kunthendu Thushara HaraDhavala" in 9 different Ragas, ie. each line in a different Raga. The Ragas I have tried are Bhoopalam, Hamsadhwani, Hindolam, Desh, Kaanada, SindhuBhairavi, Saraswathi, Revathi and Madhyamavathi in that order. This is my humble try, please correct me if I am wrong any where. As in Narayaneeyam, "Ajnathwa The Mahathvam,Yethihanigathitham Vishvanatha Kshametha" I dedicate this song for my dearest friend Aravind.
Ya Kunthendu Thushara Hara Dhawala Ya Subhra Vasthravritha Ya Veena Varadanda Mandithakara Ya Swetha Padmasana Ya Brahma Achyutha Shankara Prabhruthibhir Devai Sada Poojitha Samam Pathu Saraswathim Bhagavathim Nishesha Jaddyapaha. Music : Arun Voice : Arun
"Sargam" was a classic movie in the Malayalam Film Industry, with the splendid story and superb performance by Manoj K Jayan, Vineeth and Rambha. This time I am trying a song from "Sargam". "Sangeethame Amara Sallapame" is a very famous song and a tough one as well. With the words from the Pen of Shri.Yusuf Ali Kechery, the veteran song writer and with the music of Shri.Bombay Ravi. Ravi Shankar Sharma, better known by his first name Ravi, has composed music for several Hindi and Malayalam films. After a successful career in Hindi films, he took a break from 1970s to 1984, and made a successful comeback as Bombay Ravi. Shri.Bombay Ravi is famous for his melodies he made for Malayalam film industry. His first movie was Panchagni. The songs "saagarangale" and "aa raatri maanju poyi" were super hits. All the songs from the malayalam movie "Vaisali" released in 1989 were super hits and Chithra won National Award for the song "Indupushpam Choodi Nilkum" from the same movie. All His melodies are simple and soothening, no wonder they are still toppers in the list of Malayalam melodies. I have tried to show justice to the original song rendered so wonderful by Malayalee's Dasettan (Dr.K J Yesudas), the rest I am leaving to my listeners. :-) Movie : Sargam Lyrics: Yusuf Ali Kechery Music Director: Bombay Ravi Singer: Padmabhooshan Dr.K J Yesudas Cover Version : Arun
Finally, I could record a song after 2 weeks of very bad time with a cold and throat infection.I had planned to record this beautiful, energetic song of Raja Sir and SPB Sir just after my last song but I could do it only yesterday. I should say, it is a strong thrust of inspiration from the wonderful singer Shri.Ajay Warrier, that made me record this song inspite of my illness (now I am perfectly alright I think ;-)). I happened to listen to this song in Ajay's voice on last Sunday, when there was a concert of him with his cousins Shri.Jaideep and Mridula,Amritha TV SuperStars, in Bangalore, and I couldn't wait anymore to do my next song. It came out as a great inspiration for me, Thanks a billion to Shri.Jaideep for inviting me for the show. All the three were in a constructive competition among each other to make the show a massive success. Starting with a mindblowing Ganapathy Sthuthi in Hamsadhwani Ragam and "Shankara" from "Shankarabharanam" in Ajay's voice, through Jaideep's "Sangeethame Amarasallapame","Kainiraye Vennatharam", Mridula's "Konjum Nilavu", "Unarunaru", and kannada duet with Ajay etc,evergreen hits like "Pramadavanam", "Thenum Vayampum" etc, duets like "Kolakkuzhal vili", "Vaaji" from Shivaji, "Aajkal there mere pyar" of Jaideep and Mridula and Dappankuthu songs ;-) like "Randakka" from "Anniyan", and reaching the end of that wonderful feast with "Kuttanadan Kayalile" from Ajay and Jaideep (only a few among the list of songs). It was a splendid experience for each single person in that audience, for sure.About this song and the creators of this song, I think there is no need of mentioning, as this is a super hit from the Trio Vairamuthu-Ilayaraja-SPB. The lyrics is the main attraction of this song, in my view.Ofcourse Music is the life giving factor of a song, still. "Mugavarikal thavariyadhal azhuthidumo athu mazhayo", who can create such lyrics other than Vairamuthu!!! When the lyrics got moulded with Raja Sir's music and heard through the voice of SPB Sir, one can't just stop listening to it again and again. I don't know whether I could do a bare minimum justice to those Legends, the judgement is from my listeners.Please hear my version of this song and correct me. Thanks a lot to Shri.Krishna Prasad who has given me an honest feedback on the previous file and made me re-record the song.

When Balaji Sir, my orkut friend asked me to try this song, I was wondering how come I didn't sing this song yet!!! This was one of my favourite songs in my school days. I might have sung this song a thousand times in my bathroom ;-).So when I tried to sing this song, from setting up the devices till I completed mixing, it took hardly an hour. This is the first song in my blog which I have sung in a single shot, and which I had to sing only once. :-). This most beautiful song from the film "Pani theeratha veedu" is done in the most beautiful and romantic Ragam "Mohanam".The lyrics for this song came from the pen of Kerala's own poet Late Shri.Vayalar Rama Varma, and when it was moulded with the music of M S Viswanathan sir and heard through the Kerala's one and only "Bhava Gayakan" P Jayachandran Sir, an evergreen hit in Malayalam film music took birth. Thanks a lot Balaji Sir, for reminding me about this beautiful song. Thanks a lot to my friends who have tried to get me the original version of the song which at last my Father got it for me from one of His friends :-). Please listen to my version of Neelagiriyude Sakhikale, and correct me. :-) Film: Pani theeratha veedu Lyrics: Vayalar Rama Varma Music: M S Viswanathan Voice: P Jayachandran Blog voice: Arun.
First of all, my sincere apologies to Late.Shri Raveendran Mashu for disturbing his song. I am taking an opportunity to sing this beautiful song from the super hit movie His Highness Abdulla. This is my third Raveendran Hit in my blog, others being "Chandana Manivathil" and "Aalilathaliyumayi". Raveendran Mashu doesn't need an introduction for the Malayalam Film Song lovers.After Devarajan Master there is no Musician who has contributed this much splendid songs to Malayalam film industry other than Raveendran Master. He was the only Music Director who has used the wide range of Yesudas Sir's voice from Mandrasthayi to Tharasthayi. The Trio Kaithapram - Raveendran - Yesudas has made the songs in His Highness Abdulla, a massive hit. In each and every song of Mashu, you can feel His signature, beginning from "Tharake" from Choola till "Vadakkumnadhan", His last movie. I am so blessed to try this song. This is a very tough song to sing, and I was longing to get the karaoke of the song. When I got one, I had to make some forging to make it better. The recording quality is not so good as compared to my previous posts; sorry for that. Please correct my mistakes after hearing the song.
