Lived one life and that too..... Breathe less


Last weekend was really really superb as we all have enjoyed our last Ragam in NITC....so captured Ragam as much as possible...he he he even on name of last Ragam I was there in eastern orchestra in very hot noon also...Mega and Super seniors joined us to make it more memorable,If i m not wrong then it was first time in MCA history that Six generations were enjoying Ragam to gather,feeling fortunate to be part of such co-incidence...But this Ragam will remain in mind whole life only becos of....becos of...the one whom NITC was waiting for a long time...honestly saying life long wish was going to get its way on 27th march, co-incidentally it was the very first day of Indian New year.....

What could be a better start for a new year than enjoying Music through a true pujari of Sangeet and divine singer ,Shankar Mahadevan........From last One and Half decade India is enjoying the talent of Shankar along with Ehsan and Loy, but it was interesting to see how effective Shankar could be, as last to last year it was Shaan here so everyone was expecting and obvious caparison was going in terms of making audience MAD.

Shankar arrived on stage in neck to neck full Open Air Theater around 8:15(a hard work was done to make possible that each and every ex-MCA should be part of this show) ...when he started his performance with "Mangalam Bhagvaan Vishnu..............mangalay tano harih" and the jerk he put with song "jhoom barabar jhoom", i was sure that he is going to kill us.....People were going MAD with his first song itself but it was only a start..."U R THE BEST AUDIENCE I EVER HAD" it was enough to make the para of NITC on peak, and Shankar could have thought that time "Yeah!! i m doing IT".....One by one he started melting his glacier of Songs, and everyone was just diving deeper and deeper in his flow of music as we didn't had any other option.."Dil Chahta hai" song and so so and so on.....Night was horribly terrible as legs were not allowing to dance more but mann was making it forced not to stop on any cost.......[:)]....Shankar thrown his bestest and we grabbed him bestestest.........it was a wave of his all favourite songs which disconnected us with rest of world...One more thing i would like to add with feeling proud that I ve sung under his music direction.....arey u wont believe but its true.....we talented singers, waah ,what to say,his each and every steps we were following with what an accuracy(not less than 10000 Shankar Mahadevans were singing at a time...ha ha ha)..now it seems so funny but that time there were only three attributes Shankar, we and music with no spurious touple....at every wrong step he corrected us ,at each well did step he appreciated us like a true teacher....I liked his tries of making nitc audience involved in music train reaching Calicut through Chennai,actually he knows very well how to tackle audience....And train reached to "Tujhe Sab kuchh pata hai na maa" .After each song people were thinking now he'll finish but again a dhamakedaar item ,oh my god !!!will have to dance again, bcos no one wanted to be "Pappu, who cant dance".Malayalam Telugu Tamil And Punjabi nothing could remain untouched by Shankar.And at last, well planned SM, that when to make these MADs Breatheless, He performed the most awaited breathless,and now i m breatheless(i tried to sing but couldn't do it even one line also)...Hats Off SM!!!!!!!

But among audience some were Dada of Pappu.They were dancing but with some extra energy...U can feel the temperature viewing these pictures(aren't they looking Hile hue)











For two and Half hour We were in Paradise and the power of music made us feel that in small division of time also, we can live our whole life and After attending Shankar Mahadevan,i can say "Maine ek life jee liya hai"
