Carnatic Music !!!

Music!!! This has been my passion, life and what not...... I drip into this if i listen to a soothing song that plays in my mobile or i-pod. All i can say is i am immersed and addicted to it. May be because i am fan of carnatic singing. I am not a good singer but i love listening it.....


I thank my grand father who has given me this gift.... I mean this is a lifetime gift for me who has ever given. These memories will never end as he is more than anyone who encouraged me for singing and leading me towards music. And my grand pa is also a multi talented person ..... he is a theater artist, a singer, a poet.... . ...a good party organizer.......... a good cook toooo (this is coz of my granny).... his ancestors are also musicians and artists..... So all i can say is we are from a Family of Artists..... ;)
And i am happy about my sister who has been learning carnatic singing and violin from past 6 years and giving group concerts along with her guru. I love her as she is the wonderful and passionate learner of music. I really bless her for the talent that she has..... I hope one day she will grow big in music and become a big musicican............... And i thank her for helping me by giving some of the best compositions that taught by her guru. I also learn from her as she is a good teacher !!!!

So Guys I  am leaving this blog with all the lyrics i know. Hope you all encourage and support me!!!!!! Thank you!!!
