Swaminatha Paripalaya is a Sanskrit Carnatic Classical 'Kriti' originally composed by Muthuswamy Dikshitar in raga Nattai (Adi Tala).  In this alternative version, the band has applied a funky guitar patch throughout with western drums while combining Indian elements such as the mridangam and flute. Check it out...a must listen for Carnatic fusion lovers.

Another Wasted March

So, a friend of mine came home. While chatting, he described about the place he is from - Dehradun. As he went on about it, I figured how awesome the place is! And now, this place is in my wishlist. I'll go there real soon, but for now a song for Dehradun!
All you have to do is sing - "Dehradun Dehradun" in the chorus! :D

Lyrics and translation:

har tajurbe ko taraazuu mein rakhaa
hisaabon mein uljha rahaa

Why weigh every experience? Why be ensnared in calculating every move?

zindagii saamne aayi
to ehtraam bhii na kiyaa

Life appeared in all its glory but alas, wasn't heeded to.

ik samandar peegayaa, phirbhi.. pyaas vohii pyaas rahii
mere andar koii bagaavat si.. aag vohiii aag rahii

Drinking the ocean in its entirety didn't quench the thirst...
Inside me is a rebellious fire that doesn't abate...

Brindavani feat. Ravichandra Kulur

One of my earliest Originals. Here is the lyrics:

Beautiful people, beautiful lives
The high heeled candy and the smart, smart ties.
The pink fat moon, always smiles
Splashing colours across the skies.
It’s so beautiful.
It’s all beautiful.

The war is over, the child has died
Forests are empty, earth is dry
The sky is too dirty, birds can’t fly
This song is hollow, makes me cry
It’s so beautiful.
It’s all beautiful.

Seasons go and seasons come
Untold stories burn under the sun
Still those savvy sunglasses never shun
A generation lost - on the run
It’s so beautiful.
It’s all beautiful. 

Happy people, happy lives
Happy TV and happy lies
The pink fat moon always shines, 
Splashing colours across the skies.
It’s so beautiful.

Yeah, It’s all beautiful.

Beautiful -Original (At Mark's)
