arusuvai nagarajan at most sabhas.. wat a time it is... and i enjoyed the most recent season the best, coz i was totally jobless at home, and a lot of friends to go to concerts with, and a lot of concerts BY friends to go watch too.. Nothing like chennai. totally agree. cant wait to fly back after term 1.
and i cant bear Radio mirchi screamin in the mess in the morning, 91.9 Fm... it HAS to be suchi's voice sayin hello CHENNAI and ninety EIGHT POINT THREE fm..
ah well...
yknow how i feel about radio mirchi.. and i know how you feel about suchi :)one more month before we go back home..
It does feel good to go back home... am not posting to make u feel worse. Hang in there.. even a short trip does a world of good.
recently i started missing home too...but then at other times i wish i knew where home really is...had one of the weirder problems till recently...was not feeling homesick at all..anyways to everyone who knows where to head when the term breaks..i envy you and have a great time.
ah well..
not feeling too homesick now.. no time really for that..
:)
but looking forward to it definitely.. one more month!! :))

Imaginative, good description.
err.. what does perugudhadi mean? (blush)
leon - perugudhadi means "(it) is increasing"
the lines are transalated as :
from the day i have seen him, my love is increasing..

am more of a sabha irregular.. started goin in college whenever friends were performing.. enjoy it a lot..
its the mylapore in my blood :)
1)Havn't attended a concert in years-the last( and i think, the first) was a Kadri Gopalanath at MFAC 3 years ago
But the food sure does rock
Last Dec, i religiously ate at ALL the sabhas- Arusuvai Natrajan( at the parthasarathy swami sabha, i think) ,Woodlands, Music academy, MFAC...
2) Suchi's grating gets on my nerves!!!
Noodle
i started attending only in college when friends were performing.
had amazing fun.. awesome food..
and we'll leave mirchi suchi alone on this blog.. dont wanna offend her fans and others.. ;)
i did that last year too .sabha hopping.. ate everywhere .But i also attended the concerts. I love it when people so passionately discuss the subtle nuances of raagams and all that . There is this slow whisper that passes around the hall in the beginning of each song when people compete with each other to try and guess the ragam as fast as they can and then verify with their little ragam books.. And i was so surprised to see so many 20 something guys who took a month of from their jobs in the States to attend the season. They had the concert schedules in hand and kept running from one sabha to the other..
and noodle - Arusuvai was at parthasarathy swami sabha..love his rava dosais, so crisp and oily.. ah can't wait for December
Yuvan Shankar Raja has remixed the above mentioned song for a new film called "Kanda Naal Mudhal"...
Quite different...actually
The song is like a traditional girl who cannot feel comfortable in the modern dress, he has given her to wear...Hear it if you have the time...

Ram
heard a remixed version of it..
doesn't do the song justice.. powerful voice masked by high rpm drum beats..
