....that now that you've been elected, it's time to take

office. Are you ready? Are you ready to lead?

A leader is not one who says, "Follow me." A leader is

one who says, "I'll go first." You've been given a vote

of confidence by Heaven! Are you ready to lead, here

on earth?

You've been saying for a long time that you wished to

serve. You elected yourself. So celebrate this grand

moment, and now, take office! And by your good

offices, may your world be served.

I have also refreshed the Concert No 290 - T.V. Sankaranarayanan

Cricket in India

The story goes like this. It was the last week of December, 1960, and India were playing Pakistan at the Brabourne Stadium. On the second morning of the match, while some forty thousand people crowded into Brabourne, a smaller but not less intense crowd gathered in an Irani restaurant outside. This eatery had been chosen by Dr Lohia for a press conference. 

To a group of assembled journalists, the good doctor thundered on about how the game of cricket symbolized our continuing colonisalism, and how the last Englishman to rule India was complicit in this. Throw out Nehru, he said, and we can all happily start playing kabaddi. 

The scribes departed, to file their stories. My informant is the only person still living who saw what happened next. Apparently, after the journalists had all gone, Dr Lohia walked across to the nearest paanwallah, asked for a jodi of his favourite ek sau bis kanauji, and then continued: ‘Kya Hanif out ho gaya kya?’ The answer came back, 'No, Hanif Mohammed is still batting."

Laugh ! It is good for health

A man enters heaven and sees a huge wall full of clocks. He asks an angel,
"What are these for?" "These are Lie Clocks, every person has a Lie Clock.
Whenever you lie on earth, the clock moves", the angel says. 

The man points to a static clock and asks "Whose clock is this?" "It's Swami Vivekananda's. It's never moved, shows that he never told a lie", says the angel.

The curious man asks "Where do you have the Indian politician's clocks?" The angel replies "

They're kept in our offices. We use them as table fans."

Refreshed files

I have today refreshed the label "Sirgazhi Govindarajan". Even here, I have to locate few more links from my back up, which I will do as and when I locate them.

Out of the four missing links, which I could not locate in the label of "N. C. Vasanthakokilam" , three were sent to me by Mr. Bhaskaran Sivaraman and they are now included. Thanks a lot Mr. Bhaskaran. Only one song ( Vetri muzhakkangal) is to be located. Readers are requested to help me.

Muthai tharu

Arunagirinaadhar attempts suicide by jumping off a temple tower when Lord Muruga disguised as a Brahmin saves him, shows him the path of devotion and initiates him to compose the Thiruppugazh, an anthology of songs dedicated to Lord Muruga.

The first offering begins with ‘Muthai Tharu.’ This hymn with tongue-twisting lyrics in Tamil is difficult even to read at leisure and TMS created history by recording it in a single ‘take’! Composed in raga Shanmughapriya, the music directors were G. Ramanathan and T.R. Papa who were big names in those days. Soundararajan recalls that the tune was composed by Papa, and before the recording he called on the religious savant Kripananda Variar who translated every word of the song and TMS had rehearsals for an entire day before he recorded it. An amazing performance indeed and, not surprisingly, the song is one of the immortal melodies of Tamil Cinema.

Concert No 252 - Abhishek Raghuram

Concert No 083 - Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer

S.G. Kittappa ( I have not only restored the 12 songs now, but also added another 20 songs, afresh. The much demanded "Kodaiyile ilaippaari" is now available. Perhaps " Kaayaadha kaanagaththe" is still missing. Can somebody help?)

The song " Kaatril varum geethame" being composed by Ilaiyaraja and Vaali which was posted under the label "How a song takes shape?" is also refreshed.

Kaayaadha kaanagaththe -I have doubt whether this particular song was sung by SGS or T.R.Mahalingam

"Kaayaadha kaanagaththe" is the famous song in Sri Valli drama which S.G. Kittappa was also staging and made this song very popular. Hence I think when people started recording his songs this would have been first choice. T.R. Mahalingam did render this song. His inspiration was SGK.

My diary 12th October 2012

I have today refreshed the songs of N. C. Vasanthakokilam as suggested by Mr. Bhaskaran . There are four songs, yet to be refreshed, since I am not able to locate them in my back up hard discs. I shall be much obliged, if any of the readers, who downloaded these songs could send me the links, so that delay in locating them from my huge collection can be avoided. Thank you in advance.
