I am attatching the videos of the best carnatic fusion music on youtube. I bet, you will get addicted to it once you listen.
Girl asked the ocean:
Hey Ocean! you are so full of water,then why with your big tides
try to catch the tiny drops of rain?
The ocean replies:
Look at you,who is talking
you are so full of love for your lover
but still crave for his smile,glance and a small gesture.
the girl has no word to say in return but kept smiling…………

Though there’s a lot of modern and fusion music in India now a days, still i must say carnatic music has its own place.I am a big fan of Thyagaraja aradhanostsavam,I used to watch it while i was in India. I think not many people know about it,because this particular program used to be aired on DD National,I mean how many people really watch that channel that too in the mornings.I wonder why these so called telugu channels doesn’t promote such a class program. For every festival and on any holiday they never get tired of airing the programs related to new movies,actors and actresses etc. but its so strange they dont give carnatic music its due importance.
In thyagaraja aradhanotsavam its really wonderful to watch a lots of carnatic music biggies and others singing the keerthanas in sync.I am adding few videos related to that in this post,watch and enjoy……………
The introduction about saint thyagaraja can be found in below video for those who doesn’t know anything about him.
This is my second rakhee festival away from home,but iam too unhappy this time with the services provided by a online rakhi services,i agree that i was a little lazy and i could find time just 4 days before the rakhee festival to order online,but then i guess for an online order thats suffecient.after almost 2 hours of browsing i could find only one safe and secure online store for rakhi which was using paypal.i was happy and content and ordered the rakhi thaali and few chocolates.all went well until i saw few instructions and notes at the end of the homepage of the website saying it cant guarantee the delivery of rakhee on or before the rakhee festival.what a terrible waste of time i thought,but was hoping they will deliver it on time at least.but to my disappointment when i check out with my family today they did not recieve it.first time realising the disadvantage of staying away from home.
yeah you read it right, iam introducing you to the new language of this century tenglish,the language that is spoken in andhrapradesh widely by RJS and VJS to start with, which has so comfortably creeped in to our daily life.iam really wondering can we speak pure telugu(minus any english word) even for 5 minutes.an interesting story is i met my long lost 10th class friend through orkut few days ago,we managed to get online on Yahoo messenger.then when we started speaking to each other we were so formal and started talking to each other only in english with a usage of telugu here and there,and the twist is we both were telugu medium students when we were in 10th.how the times changed,then at one point i insisted her that we should speak only in telugu because it just making me feel as if iam speaking to a stranger.why we as a society have changed so much i wonder.but i definitely give credit to the film actors and actresses,then RJS and VJs who have become the role models for the gen X.
by the way people think u are dumb if at all if u manage to speak only telugu.but these VJS when they speak tenglish its so funny.they say”meeru ee program watch chesthaara”.i want to reply them”memu watchlu,radio lo cheyamandi”.what a kind of funny language is that.but i think the channel people always prefer a girl who cant speak telugu,but manges to speak tenglish.then we some times come across few namoonas like that in real life also who just speak as if telugu is not their mother tongue but its a foreign language and they are going to classes for learning it, i never blame them its just a changing trend.few yrs later telugu will be extinct and only tenglish will remain.people of telugu origin will actually go to classes to learn pure telugu.in wikipedia you will find telugu :language that is used in books,tenglish :the spoken language of andhra pradesh.
OK people this was just my observation.but together we all can change this trend may be by just going to our grandparents place frequently and enjoying the actual spoken language of the villages.for me they are to a lot extent still uncontaminated.
