Shreya Ghoshal---you're awesome!!!

Shreya Ghoshal renders such soulful music which is so heart-touching , be it in any language. Have loved all her songs in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and other languages.She's no doubt the next Lata Mangeshkar for sure!!I definitely want to go to a Shreya Ghoshal concert in DC for sure and would love to meet her in person sometime in life!!!Just heard to some of her songs, all time favourites being Jaadu hai naasha hai, barso re, bairi piya, piyu bole, teri ore, male baruva haagide, ille ille ello, gaganave baagi, etc and the recent Aaromale, she really takes you to a different world alltogether through her soulful singing. Way to go, got to meet you for sure!!

Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya---awesome locales.

Caught up on the Gautam Menon movie, a AR Rahman musical , Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya over the weekend. It sure does bring a smile to one's face after you see the movie. Liked the awesome locales of Alleppey in Kerala and Malta. AR Rahman once again renders soulful music and Shreya Ghoshal makes justice to it. Favourite songs are Mannipaaya, O manapenne, Aaromale(Shreya Ghoshal version rocks!!). Have to catch up on AR Rahman concert and a Shreya Ghoshal concert for sure in the near future. Trisha looks stunning in the movie with Simbu.

Overall the music is haunting and the story heart touching. Loved the movie, loved the songs a lot !!!

Our support definitely!!

My first traffic ticket.

Having been confident of my driving with everybody's praise for 10 years, yesterday the bald headed Police officer had to stop me for exceeding the speed limit with a 5 mph exceeding the limit. Hmm....the bald head looked like he'd give me a warning but since the fund collections are going on,and to remind me to slow down and be safe, there I had the ticket for the first time. Not bad, only one in 10 years,huh?Anyone to bang the baldy's head with a hammer? Naah...he stands for traffic duty anyways in the scorching heat of the summer, with his head fried up!!!Enough for him!!

Sreeram wins Indian Idol 5

Well deserved Sreeram from Hyderabad has won the Indian Idol 5 title and this time justice has been made to a South Indian to win this contest.The 24-year-old singer beat Rakesh Maini from Agra and Bhoomi Trivedi of Baroda to win 50 lakh in prize money, a one year contract with Sony BMG, a Tata Winger car, and a chance to sing a song in a Yash Raj Films' project.Understandably, Sreeram was on cloud nine. "It hasn't even begun to sink in that I have really won. My parents are here with me. It seems like I'm in a dream. This victory means the world to me," he says.

He has indeed made his parents proud at such a young age and has been an achiever so far. Congrats Sreeram!!!
