Paartha Mudal Naale..

A mesmerising romantic number from the Tamil flick Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu. Bombay Jayshree and Unni Menon could not have done better justice to this love duet. Jayashree's deep, grandiloquent timbre and Unni Menon's mellifluous rendering capture the romantic mood wonderfully. Hats off to Harris (Jeyaraj) for skilfully blending Indian classical music like Veena, Nadaswaram and a change of pace with drums into the song. By now I'm sure Partha Mudhal is a fav with people of all ages. Some credit is also due to Sun Music for airing this song as frequently as our batsmen march back to the pavilion.
That's another story, of course...

Believe In yourself !

Mood right now : ecstatic

It's been quite some time since I posted something here. My poor blog was deprived of all the attention it rightfully deserves, thanks to what else..tight hours at work. Yes, "Believe In Yourself" is what I exactly want to tell myself now and am putting it down here so that I can come back and read it whenever I want to and feel the same frenzy of poetic inspiration!

Whether it's trying out a new recipe, drawing a new kolam design, solving a HOT customer issue, trying out a new hairdo, getting youself a short skirt, or singing a duet in public, there is always a first time for everything. Belief in oneself can transform the most undoable of things into the possible. Things might not go right at the first attempt. It takes patience, optimism and belief in one's own potential. This is my epiphany for the day and I can't hide my delight at this discovery.

Some inspiring lines to end with :-

Believe in youself and in your dream
Though Impossible things may seem
Someday somehow you'll get through
To the goal you have in view

Mountains fall and seas divide
Before the one who in his stride
Takes a hard road day by day
Sweeping obstacles away!
