Charukesi Part 2

Although a Carnatic raga, it is a common belief that raga Charukeshi is a new entrant to Hindustani Classical Music. It exists in the Hindustani style as Raga “Chandramauli”, but was probably popularised by the Carnatic style & therefore has become popular as “Charukeshi”
Raga Chandramauli or Charukeshi as it is known today is a late night melody.

What am i trying to say? Nothing big actually not like i know much about indian classical music. But from the vague knowledge that i have acquired what i can say about Charukesi is that im fundementally in love with it. Someone told me that this raag depicts a loss of a loved one. It sure has a melancholic touch to it. I guess that's why i relate alot to it.
There's a reason i'm righting this post (ahem attn: mr Viggy Wiggy)
Music means more than life to me that it so becomes my life. Thus i tend to relate it to my life.
I'm sorry if i have offended strict classical musicians but wadeva la eh? I've put some stuff related to charukesi below.

So what's next?
Im looking for a bassist
Actually anyone interested in joining a indian rock band
I'm trying not to limit myself. Definetly not after that talk i had.
And remind me to remind myself ok?
Music means Discipline Discipline Discipline...

i've come to realise that like the first 2,
you too will become my weakness
a 3rd one i just can't afford.
that i actually liked you after knowing this
leaves me astounded
not cos of the fact that you resemble the moon's reflection
but more of your tenacious character interwoven with the dreaminess of a child
i dared the pisces paranoia that grappled me
it helps that you don't give a shit
history shall not repeat
and i believe in the laws of attraction,
inner mutual attraction.
i won't let you become another charukesi

i'm about to stereotype big time
i'm about to let my perceptions that have emerged and grown through experiences
dictate this post.

பெண்கள் சிலந்திகள் ஆண்கள் பூச்சிகள்

I never knew the magnitude of this statement till today.
I can't believe how slowly it hit me
Maybe because i didn't want to believe that it was true
but the facts are straight
they want the badass jerks who treat them badly
they'll do anything it takes to get what they want
but the bigger problem is
they don't know what they want
and in the end when they get hurt
they'll turn to the few good ones
men be fools to let this be a pattern girls ride on
like their menstrual cycles i ain't takin shit.

பெண்ணை நம்பி பிறந்த போதே தொப்பில் கொடிகள் அருபடுமே
மண்ணை நம்பும் மாமரம் ஒரு நாள் மாபெரும் புயலில் வேறறுமே
உன்னை நம்பும் உருப்புகல் கூட ஒருபோதுன்னை கைவிடுமெ
இதில் பெண்ணை மட்டும் நம்பும் நம்பகம் பின நாள் வரையில் பின் வருமா?

in the blocks you released your beast
you ravaged my humanity and left me with nothing
i gave with faith and expected nothing
nothing except your loyalty
but like an animal you couldnt settle down and your greed overcame
and with fresh meat you shifted
stories of tents and best friends stained this love
yet you turned and pointed fingers at me
not realising your lips were stained your pants undone
all tell tale signs i was watching from afar
and it took me a year to get me over it
as everyday my body burned in thoughts of another touching you
the very thought sparked flames across my soul
but the winter frost of my numbness iced it all
காமம் என்ற மூன்று எழுத்தால் காதல் என்ற மூன்று எழுத்து அழிந்தது...

innocence kills
a chapter i finished mastering just today
i'm a slow learner pardon me
your fair skin and radiant glow i trusted
the complexities of our unlapping lives that somehow intertwined amazed me
i made you a part of me
but i forgot to look at the signs
love gives the blind eyes, only to gorge them out cruelly
like any other you trusted the poison and drank it as a cure
while i cut your veins and sucked it all out
reality woke me to spit it out and move away
yet thoughts of you rocked me gently to sleep
thats when today,
how you chidlishly commented the need for artistic skin distortion
it rocked my inner being and woke me up
for that's when i saw the side of you i've been lying to myself didn't exist
i drew an image of you and believed that it was you
and you played along well
enough.

this has nothing to do with love
it's everything to do with venus
i do not care for what you think
or will have to say about this
this is nothing but a reminder for myself
சிற்பமான பெண்ணிருந்து தேடி ஓடும் மாணிடா
அற்பமான மாதறோடு ஆசை கொல்வதேனடா?
take away desire and all thats left
vendetta.

Tonight we drink to youth

And holding fast the truth

Don't want to lose what I had as a boy

My heart still has a beat

But love is now a feat

As common as a cold day in L.A.

Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder

Is there a spell that I am under

Keeping me from seeing the real thing

I'm fettered and abused

Stand naked and accused

Should I surface, this one-man submarine?

I only want the truth!

So tonight we drink to youth!

I'll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder

Is there a spell that I am under

Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
'cause without love I won't survive

teeja tera rang tha main to

teeja tera rang tha main to…

jiya tere dhang se main to

tu hi tha maula tu hi aan

Maula mere le le meri jaan

Maula mere le le meri jaan……

kya bath.the beauty that is this song.

as if working alone from 8 to 6 is not bad enough

and having lunch alone with totally no contact to anyone

now i'm loaded with tons of work to do

this sucks big time. make it end.

i'm thinking of you

yes you, surprisingly

is it politically incorrect if i said

that i miss you?

iNCUBUS live @ fort canning park

opened by SAOSIN

incubus being one of my favourite rock bands

mostly cos of their very experimental kind of music

and also their technicality that most don't realise

and this is where it begins

most of them don't realise.

Although it was an awesome show,

oh and an expensive one too (127 bucks to be precise)

And the fact i got to be directly infront of the stage sweetened the whole experience

atleast that was what i thought

untill the crowd starting moshing and pushing from the back

lets be more specific

it's gona get a bit personal now, but wadeva

when i meant CROWD moshing i meant

dumb mother****ers with totally no logic or EQ

the mats to be exact and the occasional ang-moh/chinese/indian punkasses

no really, what's with you wana-be rock fans?

where's the meaning to good music when u start behaving like animals

thinking that pushing and shoving others and creating havoc is very musical

picture this.

take an idiot from that crowd. and put him all alone

then take a frail looking girl and ask him to punch and shove her

he would'nt.

but when all these dumb mats come together they lose all logic

and the music must seem to intoxicate them.

And so indirectly their actions hurt so many of them.

I know because i was at the front and i saw countless amount of girls fainting and vomitting.

getting thrown from here to there.

It's not that i couldn't handle the heat man, just think of the weak who can't protect themselves.

I'm a huge fan of rock, but after this i detest the local rock scene totally.

The whole scene was such a mess. Such a shame

That's just not what music's about my friends.

Kalaipitthargal Show

One month of ideas and 3 proper jammings

One shot at the road to music

And with god's grace i safely say

the best day of my lives will be from henceforth after tonight

the performance to us was awesome

technicality aside, i enjoyed the chemistry and soul

it was like icing on the cake to see us on the news

You know the warm tingly feeling you get inside

when you see your dream piecing itself together

hmm i think it just might be that i'm feeling

i've uploaded videos on youtube so please do chek it out
