Tannavu Manavu (Kannada)

Hi All,

A while back Ramesh emailed me to gauge my interest in trying something different - singing a Kannada song. At first i was a bit skeptical about it but thought it would be a good experience. So began the journey to sing a Kannada song. The tune of the song was awesome so singing it made it that much easier.

Vidya , whose mother tongue happens to be Tamil , has joined me in a joint effort to render this song . She has done an excellent job of it.

Advance apologies for the diction errors. Big thank you to Vidya for singing this song with me and an even bigger thank you to Ramesh from the both of us for his help with diction and above all motivating us to undertake this challenge.

Thanx for listening.

Hum Tum

Friends,

I am back again !!
This time it is a duet and it is with Vidyu. We have tried to sing this melodious title number from the movie Hum Tum. This song was one among the top 10 in 2004(atleast i think so !). Babul and Alka yet again recreate the magic of Aate Aate in this song. Music is by Jatin Lalit.

Vidyu has done an excellent job with it. We would love to hear what u think of our effort. Thanx for listening.

Kuch To Log Kahengey

Hi friends,
Could not update my blog for a while :( . Still havent done any worthwhile recording to share with you all. Thought i would share an old one. This is again one of my favorite Kishore numbers. To me it is a very difficult song but i still attempted it ! Really one cannot forget Rajesh Khanna in the movie :) I know mera gana sunkey log kuch to kahengey-hi , par hum zaroor sunengey...burah ya bhala !
I got the track from Taranaa . I feel there are a few problems in the track but otherwise pretty good :)
