Revisiting Raag Kapi Through A Song In Ulidavaru Kandanthe


Kanna muchhe madila aache
Daati hode belakannu
Hari hoda adentha baanu
Kaanadenu hetta hennu

Onagide kai beralu
Kai tuttanu nee mareyalu
Naa deeti hode

Naa haariro ee bhanu...
Amma... Ee jeeva ninthide,
usirata sagide
Karanava naa ninage
hege helale....?

Keladene seridenu
Kempugiro ee mugilanu
Hari hoda adenta banu
Kanadenu hetta hennu

Beleda maravondu, tanna beranna
Taane kaana bayaside
Mugila kaanuva hakkiya mariyondu
Thayiya goodanu araside

Putta hejje sulivu, nee kandare ulivu
Matte garbhake, hogo bedike
Prasava vedane irada januma enage

Hudukide hetta kangalu
Swara seralu, mana mugilu
Naa jinugi bande

Thayiya appuge beleda maravagi
Ninthalle thale baagi,
ee bhoomi meeti
Swargavanne matte chiguriside

Hakkige banagi
haralu varavagi
Madilalle agasa thorithu
Ninna mamatheya varavagi

Serida ee hottige
Kai beralina aa tuttige
Aa devarige sharanu

The lyric is a beautiful poem, taking you to higher emotional levels of motherly love and affection. The analogy of a tree finally wishing to see its roots and the birds returning to the nest where they were nourished and taught to fly are impeccable.

Ajaneesh Lokanath, the maestro behind the mellifluous music of Kanna Muchhe song from Ulidavaru Kandanthe film has tuned the lyric to Raag Kapi. I had posted few songs in Raag Kapi in an old post on this blog. He has been perfect in choosing this Raag as this is one Raag that can capture the essence of a mother's love and care for her child, and the child's pangs of desperation to meet his mother.

Melodious Song From Ulidavaru Kandanthe - Kanna Muchhe

Papanasam Sivan's Enna Thavam Seyda Nee Yashodha is probably, the prototype composition in Kapi. The music director of Ulidavaru Kandanthe has done a wonderful job in the movie by composing this song in Kapi. The boldness of Shankar Mahadevan's voice (italic stanzas in the lyric) and Vani Harikrishna's (non-italic stanzas in the lyric) elegant mood-captivating rendition has created magic. This song will certainly linger long in the minds of listeners.

Add Life To Years

Melting clock: Live life beyond time It just takes few seconds to get to the finishing line; few minutes to call it a day at work and recline; Few hours to meet that special someone; few days to get your salary for the long weekend's fun; Few months to get your valuable educational degree; Few years for the prisoner to be set free. Less than a second is all it takes for the heartbeat that keeps you alive Few seconds is all it takes to breathe in oxygen and survive. Decisions are made in no longer than a second Accidents do kill, when no harm you would intend Seconds spent in sorrow are always too long Only time can filter the right from wrong Stay calm and never lose your facial charm Forgive, for revenge is always double the harm A second for the baby to get ex-utero And precious years of learning to talk and draw And a little more years to eat, play and grow Life's, then on, a short one-man show So liv

The Ground Where Everybody Wins

Jay was now a changed man, or so he assumed. The workshop on leadership skills training had began to cast its effect on his personality. He could now sense within himself, a feeling of renewed vigor and enthusiasm to work on a new research project. He always knew that he was a highly reliable team worker. The interest he nurtured in research could now help him redistribute his passion in taking the less-traveled roads, backed with the realization that when the techniques are familiar, one must venture into new areas. For the same reason, his project head sensed that with better team leader skills, Jay would certainly strike gold. Jay, however, felt that his thirst for confidence in taking head on, the new challenge of leading a research team, was far from being quenched. He lived in constant fear that, if he could not prevent the misunderstandings that inadvertently creep in among his colleagues from gaining more frequency, they would take things to the next level of professional ven
