The agony of patience..
Imagine you are patiently waiting for something or someone. And it just hasn’t happened yet or the person just hasn’t come to you yet.
This is what I think one goes through..
First there is anxiety..
This turns into restlessness and agitation..
Then there is an attempt to reason..
Followed by agony..
Then there is sorrow..
This results in an attempt to find peace with the...

Making of "Frosty Bite"
My respects for music directors of all genres - specially those who work for film music have once again been reinforced in the last few days. I have been working on 4 different ideas (all of them are great ideas and I can’t wait to see them in completed form) in the last 2-3 weeks. Given my general creative music output has been a little low in the last 3-4 months, this period I think has...

Ron,...

Jilu Jilu
Wonder why I wanted to write about this song after Kodiya. In fact, I have been meaning to write about “the making of Bheed Hai” for a while.In all honesty, the idea for Jilu Jilu came about after I listened to Kuru Kuru from Couples Retreat. I was inspired to something in that genre. I am pretty hopeful that this song does not resemble Kuru Kuru. Some trivia as far as the making of...

Kodiya Ethadhae
It has often been a neglected genre of music - Even I don’t consider the Gaana style song from Chennai to have anything high musically. But the core of this style is so not much the complexity of the music but its ability to sway you and its ability to touch you with some deep and meaningful lyrics that are simple and not necessarily poetic. So, one fine Saturday evening in April (or May),...
