Chitrahaar in languages other than Hindi.

There are times when I like listening to songs that have typical folk or Classical tones to them. I do enjoy classical(Carnatic and Hindustani) but not as a connoisseur of it, but as a layman who’s ears like particular sounds. It could be in any Indian language. Here are some of the songs I have liked. Most of these songs are in Telugu the language of the People from the State of Andra Pradesh. Enjoy.

AnandaBhiravi-thandav

Anandbhiravi- murali

Swathimuthyam- suvi suvi

Vedam – Sagarasangamam

Omkara- Shankarabaranam

Govina Haadu- Language Kannada- This song is about being Honest, Keeping your word. The story is of a Cow named Punyakoti who is attacked by a tiger while she was returning to the shed to feed her young son. She tells the tiger that she will return once she has fed her son so that she could be the tiger’s food. The tiger reluctantly lets her go thinking she wouldn’t return. But she does return, making the tiger remorseful enough to jump off the cliff to his death. It’s a folk story so don’t go looking for realism.

Nesara Nodu- Kannada folk

Chemmeen- Kadalinakare Ponnoure- Malayalam Folk

Hope you guys enjoyed the musical. Have a lovely weekend.

Peace always,

Mithuna.

Chitrahaar- Golden Oldies

I tend to get on song binge on some days. This weekend is one of them, my ears are feeling the heat now, but I cant seem to stop... so here goes another lot of the Old songs that I enjoy. Hope you enjoy them too...

Love this song from Navrang for its dance as well as the lyrics

This is from Guide. Piya those naina lage re.

Chadh gaye papi bichua from Madhumati. I think most songs from this movie was good.

O panchi Pyare - Bandini

Another one from Bandini-Oh jogi jab se tu mere dware

Lambi Judai- Reshma

Enjoy the second edition.

Chitrahaar-Bollywood songs

When it comes to Music, I like anything that isn’t harsh on my ears. Now figuring out what is harsh depends on the Mood I am in. I like folk music, ghazals, instrumental(most of all flutes, santoor, drums and sitar), songs from other languages as long as it has a good tune to it. I like to think I am a mellow, laidback kind of person, who likes to watch life and everyone pass by. I like to sit back, drinking my cup of herbal chai making observations and drawing illusory conclusions that will be very far from reality. Music I like, reflects the way I am or would love to be to a large degree. My husband does think I have my head in the clouds most times. Did I mention that I do have a Phd in Daydreaming?(yes that’s illusory too).

My daughter is having spring break so I took off. Today the three of us are going to make a lot of noise and annoy our wonderful neighbours ;)). I visited a few of my friend’s blogs today, and enjoyed going back to the Chitrahaar days. Remember, that program with Bollywood songs that used to run for half an hour? I specially like old songs from the early years of Lataji, Mukeshji, Mohammad Rafi sahab, Kishoreji's time. So here is my Chitrahaar, songs I have enjoyed. Have fun watching.

O Majhi re – Kishore

Man Dole Tan Dole - from the movie Nagin

Lamhe- morni baaga ma

Aye dil e nadaan - from the movie Razia Sultan

Dil to pagal hai - instrumental

Dil to pagal hai - koi ladki hai

Piyu bole – Parineeta (2005)

Hope you had fun.

Rashmi.
