My experience with MUSIC

ARR's show in hyderabad on 24th October....i'm planning to go and attend it.However just decided that if i am going to any shoe i should be in the top class tickets...which means 1.5lacs juz for d tickets...and since i am not in a mood to shell out such huge amount we've decided to stay back at home and watch it in the TV.

This reminds me of my old days...naah not those dealing with big concerts but my own singing talent which i show off now and then. 

Triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing...going back again to those old-gold days.

It was in my 5th class....there used to be this fierce Late VijayKumar sir whom all of us used to go for Maths,Physics and Chemistry tuitions. He is a very good teacher and completely opposite to those old weak teachers portrayed in the cinemas. He was dynamic and fierce. Man i was damn afraid of him :((May his Soul RIP). His sons Kranthi anna and Bhagath anna were our seniors. They used to have this music instruments at their house. All the complete set since they had a good grip on guitar,drums etc.

Then came one Vinayaka chavithi and in our colony there was this big pandal and obviously the colony president and his team planned for various cultural activities for that. One of which is the orchestra by Vijaykumar sir's family. Here they needed few female singers in the troupe. My sis and her friends who used to go for the tuitions were by default part of the troupe and then i entered :D

A lanky kid with a high pitch voice....thats one worst combination i say. Anyway i was give this song to practice  and perform with them. And that song is none other than.."Chinni chinni asha" from  Roja. That one was a nightmare...after the performance Kranthi anna came to me and told me that the song i sang...i mean the way i sang...no one else can butcher it more!!!...It was the worst possible way one can ever sing that song.

Anyway later on due to the so called growing up my voice dramatically improved and the next year itself i was the part of the choir group in my school. My sis and I were the important members in the group. Still when i go to school now...i mean after some 15 years....my teachers  remember the way i used to sing and 2 years back on my visit i even sang one prayer song from the old days to the 10th class students. Those gospel hymns i still sing sometimes only to irritate Ravi.In that way in school i bagged up few prizes in singing competitions.

All through these years i have joined the classical musical lesson and veena classes which i stopped  due to lack of interest at that particular time. Then in Btech i started learning music from Padma teacher...and this time i learnt it for 3 years....on and off. And participated in few competitions in college. As usual in my first year my song in the freshers party was booed down by everyone. Then in the college competitions i've bagged some 3-4 prizes.

Then comes the biggest disaster. I participated  in the APAC Idol.....just for the sheer pleasure of being a part of such a big event. I sang the song Dole dole from Pokiri..the Karaoke version and as expected i didn't win..but that was one beautiful moment i can treasure.....singing in the Amphitheater in Bangalore campus.

All this came flooding back when i was listening to the ARR's show details on the radio....No other work kept me busy.......hence here i am flooding this page with my thoughts!!

Luv...
