Carpe Diem: Suttum Vizhi
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2009/02/suttum-vizhi.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2009. I installed Logic Studio and while my head was spinning at the sheer quantum of text on the manuals, I gave the set-up a shot. The result, my try at ARR's version of Suttum Vizhi rendered beautifully by Hariharan. Take a listen. Posted by Mind of an unknown. Did u refer the original lyrics before you sang? I ask this question because Hariharan's rendition has too many pronunciation mistakes. The singing is really beautiful but I felt u were unsure on the words in some places.

Carpe Diem: September 2007
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2007. Delusion, Dilemma and Diktat. Did we ever think of asking the question “Is there a God? 8221; Either we were handed down the belief by our fiercely religious ancestors and willingly accepted it; have lived with the atheist belief as long as we have known ourselves; or, consciously taken the route to be either a believer/non-believer. But have we gone beyond and asked ‘ the. Do we know we have the option. Have we ever questioned our religious or cultural identity? A part of my ...

Carpe Diem: November 2008
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 24, 2008. Posted by Mind of an unknown. Saturday, November 22, 2008. The Return of Lure. And that's how it all happened. In one jiffy. Between the song singing, note-making and idle talk at office yesterday. Clear as water. I will remember the pig-tailed. I hope someone got that loud and clear! Posted by Mind of an unknown. Friday, November 21, 2008. We still make 'em.err.find 'em! And the evening began to a small, private audience and she had us all. “Pritam will take her!

Carpe Diem: Khamaj
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2009/01/darbari_24.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. Shafqat Amanat Ali belonged to Fuzon. He left the band. But this track from their first album created ripples in the soft pop space. I have not heard such a trained, taut voice anywhere except amongst classical musicians. Again, one of the tracks I just couldn't help trying. The support track can be ignored, but I would like to think it helped me sing. Posted by Mind of an unknown. The hopefully better version coming up soon. January 24, 2009 at 11:13 PM.

Carpe Diem: Patterns in the Ivy
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2009/01/patterns-in-ivy.html
Friday, January 16, 2009. Patterns in the Ivy. Some songs just do it for me. This very unlikely soft number by Opeth was introduced to me by a heavy metal band member 5 years back. This song puts me at ease when it hits the very first note. And the high piano notes with the guitar refrain is just awesome. Hope you guys enjoy it. Posted by Mind of an unknown.

Carpe Diem: August 2007
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 27, 2007. Guess what is the latest in the field of outsourcing? Its 'Wombs for Rent'. This phenomenon dubbed 'Outsourcing Pregnancy' or 'The Reproductive Revolution' has made 2 small-time practitioners from Gujarat and Chennai medical superstars. My cousin in Canada did a feature on them and I thought it was an interesting subject to dwell upon - posing many ethical and moral questions. So here's how it works. Young and spirited young women from desolate nondescript. Well, it is as long as...

Carpe Diem: The Sweet Wait
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2009/01/sweet-wait.html
Sunday, January 11, 2009. The other was an older guy, probably married, early 30s I thought to myself. Nice looking chap too. Looked like a jat. You know 6 feet tall with a robust a sli ghee ka. Body and all that. Ok. Maybe I stared at him for too long. But the point is, he was fidgity too. Both the guy and the girl, unknowns, shared the moment of excited anticipation. Posted by Mind of an unknown. Nicely written. Much longing sensed. Much loneliness sensed. Chennai hangover? January 12, 2009 at 9:23 PM.

Carpe Diem: Mouname Paarvaiyal
http://ayrawashia.blogspot.com/2009/01/mouname-paarvaiyal.html
Friday, January 23, 2009. I particularly fell in love with this one song by PB Sreenivos. Penned by the great Kannadasan and some simply superb music by MS Viswanathan, the song had me playing it on repeat for hours. I don't understand the lyrics in the entire song, but Mouname Paarvaiyal. Has this litling tune that oozes romance in its simplicity of sound. Especially the overlap of a hum at the end of every stanza, a master stroke from a genius of a composer! Here's the piece.go ahead, reminisce. Naan p...

Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Its a Dotty Business. I have a problem with dots. Yes, its a kink. I cannot see too many of them together, specially if they are swollen or embossed on any surface. Aaargh! OR, I will just disappear into thin air (off the blog I mean) only to reappear with the old look. So let's wait and watch. Posted by Mind of an unknown. Saturday, November 10, 2007. The 30s, still a couple of years to go, but it made me sit up and think. And I am bloody well going to do it! Before I move ...
