My Area

Get going... You are safe in my area!

Santhoshj

Santhosh Janardhanan, 26yrs new as on Oct'09. Hailing from God's own capital- Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, now in Southern metro of Chennai for profession. Roaming in blogosphere since Dec'05. I like Music, Cricket and Travelling.

Favourite Trio- Suriya-Harris-Hariharan

Suriya Sivakumar

I am up with a new sort of experiment, at least for me! Till date I never tried to sing a fast beat song like this. Sung this song in a single take.

From the 2009 movie ‘Ayan’, directed by K V Anand, which starred young charming Suriya Sivakumar and the young cherry berry Tamanna Bhatiya. The song- “Palapalakkura pakalaa nee” which turned out to be the intro song for the hero. This song was picturized so beautifully that viewer will be at sea confusing whether to look at the wild visuals of Africa or to listen to sweet melody from Harris Jayaraj’s factory.

Here it is in my voice. Before you start listening to my voice, remember, I am an SCM Engineer… not a professional singer! But sure, your critics and comments can make a better me!! :D

പ്രതീക്ഷ

കണ്ണുകളില്‍ തിമിരമില്ല, എങ്കിലും കാഴ്ച വ്യക്തമല്ല.
നാവിനു വഴക്കമുണ്ട്, എങ്കിലും നന്മ തിന്മകള്‍ ഏതും പറയുന്നില്ല.
കാതുകളില്‍ പാട്ടുകള്‍ കേള്‍ക്കുന്നു. എങ്കിലും ഒരു സുഹൃത്തിന്റെ സ്നേഹ സല്ലാപം കേള്‍ക്കുന്നില്ല.
എല്ലാം ഉണ്ട്, എങ്കിലും ഒന്നും ഇല്ല.

ഒന്നും ഇല്ല. എങ്കിലും അഹങ്കാരത്തിനു യാതൊരു കുറവും ഇല്ല.

കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നു. ഒരു മാറ്റത്തിനായി. എന്നെങ്കിലും ഞാന്‍ നന്നാവുമായിരിക്കും! ഇല്ലേ???

 

ഇതു കളിയുമല്ല കവിതയുമല്ല. കളിവിളിത!

The Rock Fort City

Thanks to Sathesh and Banumathy! Wish them a wonderful life ahead…! :)

I was in Trichy for last two days for wedding of my colleagues. During the stay there, I got a chance to visit the Rock Fort.

Rockfort

The rock fort is the main icon of the city of Thiruchirappally, better known as Trichy. The above image is the bell room of the temple. Primarily this was a temple which abodes shrines of Lord Ganesha, known as “Uchippillaiyar koil”, Lord Shiva, known as “Thayumana swamy”, Amman and Lakshmi Devi atop the rock. It provides a wonderful view of the whole city. Night lights here is very beautiful!

Though it was a temple from the age of Pallavas, it was subsequently handled by Vijayanagara samrajya, Nayaks of Madurai and British. During Vijayanagara period this rock was fortified and used as a watch tower and garrison. Hence a Bell room there.

Geologically 83 meters high rock is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to 3 billion years. Shape of the rock itself is very interesting, which looks different in each angle. A banner seen there…
