Sometime about amonth ago...bang in the middle of one of Bangalore's fiercest summers...a young, newly married couple from Kerala - a place on Earth which merits its own share of beautiful stories - came to me with a song idea of theirs...a mash-up of two songs - one Hindi and one Tamil - both beautifully crafted and produced by genius composers and song-writers in their own domains, credit and due acknowledgements made.. (on youtube)
What made me love what I do so much is the fact that these two people, who are now my dear friends, approached the concept with a practical innocence that one rarely see's in these days of sarcasm, and intolerance and mindless competition - from school to grave.
Now, here is a someone who is singing in 2 languages that are not even his mother tongue, and I think he's done a fantastic job. The objective of this post is simple. Let us know what you think. RJ Visakh and Surya Suresh are 2 people doing their own thing to make the world a better place. So. Here is to musicians and artists and beautiful people all over the country who do their thing to make little splotches of beauty in a time obsessed with a misplaced sense of propriety and decorum.
Oh, and if we meet, remind me to tell you a fantastic story about a certain MC Road that connects Trivandrum to Kottayam
