Be a roman when in Rome.. that is what is it is said, right? well, i seem to be far away from this. Living in land of 'red' flags,buildings, government...least to say, in Bengal i haven't learned to utter at least one complete sentence of the land ( with one exception of 'ami tomaki bhalobashi' taught way back by powerstar Pawan Kalyan :) ). Given the abundance of 'telugites' studying and living in and outside the college campus i've never felt any need to know about the language of the hosts.
Nevertheless, to my surprise my newest interests are increasing in tamil. The audio player in ma lappy is playing tamil songs repeatedly for a couple of months, though i don't understand the lyrics mostly. Beginning with 'naaku muka' ('an dandra naaku muka.. naaku muka'... still on my lips) of 'Kadhalil Vizhundhen' the addiction went on with 'ponmagal vandaal' from AZHAGIYA THAMIZ MAGAN.
The latest development is addiction to three songs from Paiya, Vinnai Thnadi Varuvaaya (VTV), Kadhal Kondein. Composition by Rehman would be enough reason for VTV making into the palylist. The film is aslo made in telugu but performance of shimbu is far much better than nagachaiytanya's ( i prefer to play video songs to audio ones) and so my inclination has got another reason in this form..
Yuvan's 'En kadhal solla', 'Devathaiyai kanden' are simply superb..,especially the way he blends the drums.
and here's from kadhal kondaen
