school memories...

Its already been a year since our reunion and I cut start (inaguration, I meant) the lines by saying "that day you kill the child in you, you are dead!"....
The one's I remember most vividly, the one's I enjoyed the most, regardless of anyone else's enjoyment or lack of it, one's that stood out from every other routine day for whatever reason... they aren't necessarily in cronological order, I've just written them down as they occur to me...

 Remembering my childhood, a favourite thought;

Those are where most of my memories are.

Friendship is all what we sought,

KHO-KHO n KABADDI for fun;

Science,Social,Maths were all what we were thought,

Languages n Poems for pun;

Now that we grew up, its all done;

I wish it did not have to end,

I just want to do it all over again!

These moments captured reminds me every now & then, that.... am as young as I was then, As young as my faith but only as old as your doubt!;  my reminiscent of school days contrasts with today's...

I dont draw or paint on papers anymore!

I dont act or sing on stages anymore!

Because for I believe that, old skills never die;

I just have to dust the cobwebs off once & a while.

With my thinking hat on I realised that, In my youth the days were short and the years were long. But, its vice versa now: Years short and days long! Adding to the fact is that years teach much which the days never knew. As I write this down, I am getting late for school... so I better get going..

Shirt tucked in, tie straight;

Shoes polished & socks white.

A quick prayer hiding from peetla's sight!

stand to attention and lead off from right....

I do ReMix

I had enough of composing originals and also thanks to you(my muzic fans, I meant)guys for expecting something loud & queer. Its good fun to wear RDB's hat while reproducing rafi's and mukesh's classic in raghu's way. Since many of the muzic greats have already given it a try (& failed), I being not one among them, decided to give it a shot and the outcome is here. well, before you listen and start complimenting, downloading or commenting (which, my fellow followers often forget to) please read my disclaimer* below.

>>Likhe Jo Khat Tuje (Original is here)


>>Mera Joota He Japani (Original is here)


To add to the above classics is this complimentary sing along...

>>Tere Bin Kaise Jiya (Original is here)


*DISCLAIMER: If you are not the intended raghus-muzic fan then, be one ASAP; Also, any dissemination or distribution of the above is much appreciated, either explicitly or implicitly. Ok..now get a mic n start singing..

Gradually Glad

dark cupid clouds crawling away;
object of affection gradually fading away;
true colors of life making its way;
frustrations & regrets needs castaway,
by letting thoughts to loop & sweet insanity to speed away.



the rage plays hide & seek,
causing bloodrush in veins;
why regret? - question to self;
calm contemplation engulfs;
unrequited query finds NIRVANA.

13th December..

the 347th day of the year 2008 is a Saturday and I shall remember it for years to come. Am going to go out on a limb here and say that this may be the single most satisfying vacation I have had in my life. I finally had my day, my minutes to convey, my object of affection, that was held up for too long within me and the wait was over then.!



Now I stand straight and say...I don't let go of my dreams, the whisker of cupid can drown all the screams...I know that to talk of L**E, I have very little right but many times you see something only when it is out of your sight.! So I don't want to talk about this anymore and I feel things going to be better than before.

this is my song so far

I’m sitting here thinking about you
your thoughts create a flutter in my heart
thoughts about: I being song of your life;
thoughts about: I being breath of your hopes;
these thoughts will grow, fonder beautifully,
they have my mind as their home.



In the stream of my feelings will I ever find a river?
will my wishes ever find a boon?
no wonder my thoughts just run wild at times!
cause you are there and I'm here;
this is my song so far, regurgitating;
sitting here thinking about you.

Agony left chasing dreams

Should I say hi, hello, how have you been? It’s been quite long and I miss your company? Or should I just ignore you the same way that you have been to me so far? How do I find the courage to go on & find a new horizon? How do I let go of a dear friend & companion in precious moments of my life? How do I move on when something wants to stay experienced in the past? Too many questions that you have left me to contemplate with. A day will come soon when my wait is over only to find you with some other.
I wish I am just dreaming, I wish you are not gone but when I open my eyes I know its real. Then I understand, to love is to risk not being loved in return. So I guess I will live my life again back to the time I haven’t met you. However, agony left chasing dreams.

Raghu Romeo

Its been totally a different day so far for me. Its raining and I just can’t keep my mind away a moment thinking about U n ME. If one loves a person isn’t it consistent? isn’t it grand with no longings, no hurt feeling but just pure bliss? The things she has made me feel is ambiguous. At times I feel like soaring and flying high but most of the time I feel like an angel with only one wing. Sometimes when I’m all alone I keep thinking of the time when we can be together again and make all our dreams a reality. But my greatest wish is that somehow the rain god would be kind and we can have all of it and the tune played in the background, U n ME, love in rain....


PS: Self inspired; rest left for creative imagination.

Theme MUMMY

This is composed keeping HINDOLA as the raaga base. Western style 2/4 is used with my own rhythm pattern & accompaniment. This is 2nd of the series. When my teacher heard the tune, he commented that the music made him visualize some Egyptian chick walking into the king's court..!! What an imagination!?! It was this comment that made me to name this composition as "MUMMY WALKING". Listen to it n...

can you visualize the same? I would also like to introduce you all very talented, young & handsome Sumanth, a close friend of mine, is amazingly creative in music unlike me. He is about to release his own music album "ARUNDHATHI", you can access the details here.

The joy of Prathama

Yet another sincere hello to my fellow readers. This was something that I had not given a though about as I consider my self a newbie to "WWW". Now that I have found a way...! ok without any patience to narrate story, this is my first ever own composition of music produced using PSR550 who happens to be my X girlfriend :D



This is composed on 6 different tracks & based on "HINDOLA/MALKAUNS" raga. Its almost 4 years old now but then its my first. N therz lot more to come.... for this moment share the joy of Prathama with me.
