breathless!

its been a productive day so far. my nerve ends jangling with work pressure though. guess its time for a break.

am listening to shankar mahadevan's breathless.sitting calmly and listening to him on headphones is such a deception to all the energy and passion his song is inducing in me.

i recall noticing him a couple of times during his early days,a little before he entered the spotlight of the glam world. his performances with zakir hussain and indo-jazz music team were memorable.a great veena player and fairly well versed in carnatic and hindustani classical.

he may not be rahmanic or RD burmanic as a trend setter in composing music, but he has class, freshness and style.

in live shows he is absolutely electrifying. an immensely rich vocalist.at one point it is hard to tell him from his song. he melts and blends into the song like he is pulsing its tunes and rythms.

im all breathless in absolute stillness!

Satttaday!

Its been quite a while since I woke up so early on a Saturday morning. Unable to decide whether its another week day or a weekend. I'm thankful for the sun's rays caressing my cheeks,hitting my eyes ,peeking into my soul and whispering,"Wake up, you have shut off the snooze 4 times already!!".

Well its so hard really , to wake up and get out. I'm blessed with a huge and wide window creating enigmatic patterns in the sky through the wildly swaying branches and opening its chest out into the open sky. What more this sight causes me to sing my heart out every day and thank God for the sunshine which wishes me a fresh and crisp'Good morning!'. Not that this really helps me get out of bed early at the first ring of the alarm.

Its the craziest thing to get up in the morning and listen to my-favorite list and scare a roomie who walks into my room ,half-awake, and I look like an apparition to her with all my hair-helter-skelter.It's fun ,just for kicks you know! And I'm sipping bed-tea provided by her. I'm so lucky God dropped her into my apartment.

I'm all smiles...what a weekend beginning. I'm sure the schedule next week is kind of getting my muscles active.I can seriously feel it. Ok! me out of bed.
