A humble attempt....


Hi all!!!! I just tried out something really exciting!!! Couldnt wait to show u guys!!! I sang one of my favourite indian carnatic songs - Kurai Ondrum Illai this evening and thought i would share it with you. Its a tamil song and its sung in praise of Lord Krishna. The devotee, through this song tries to convey to the omnipresent Lord that he has no worries or shortcomings in life. It is a song that truely portays the strength of having faith in a Supreme being.


I have made a humble attempt in singing a small part of this song. I used Sound Recorder and the sound quality is just average. Next time, i will try to present a better song and sing better. Atleast this way, i can polish my singing ;) Click below to chk it out !!!!

Kurai Ondrum Illai by Prithz


P.S. My usual post (a tag this time) is below. Chk it out too!!! :) Take care!!! Huggggzzzzz!!!

Venkatesh said...

hey.. i couldn't hear it yet (looks like the link needs some of the latest Flash plugin that is not compatible with Linux).

Whom did you learn from? BTW I play Mridangam and am a student of Karaikudi Mani..

KK said...

Prithz Gimme a five again!!! You have sung the song awesome!!! Me too like Gils, dont know much intricacies of carnatic music to comment.

@ gils:

Hey, Thnx a lot and Welcome to my blog!!! Did i steal the song away from u... sorry abt that... :)

And, no, i am not from P.S. Sr....

@ indianangel:

Hey, thnx a lot for your frank comment. That's more of what i expected to know thru this. I think i could have done better wid a shruti box, but sadly i dunt have one here. Should google for some online shruti tune and download i guess... :p

@ venkatesh:

Oh, dats very sad. Probably, u can chk it out thru this URL : http://memoriesofprith.lifelogger.com/

U could go here and click on "Entries" thats on the left hand column. The file by name kurai2.wav is the song. Try and tell me if it works. :)

And wonderful to know that u play mridangam. I learnt from a guru near my house by name Smt. Rajeswari. :)

@ kk:

HI5!!!! :)

Thnx a ton KK!!! Though i have learnt music for the past 11 years, i have learnt it more as a hobby and for relaxing myself. Kacheri pandra alavukku innum munnerala... Neenga vitta, kacheri tkt marketing pandra range ku pesaringale!!! LOL!!!

@ ekta:

Oh!!! Try out the URL that i have mentioned to venkatesh above. Hopefully, it should work.

@ macho girl:

Hey, thnx!!! I have been learning carnatic music for the past 11 years.

@ starry nights:

Hey, thnx a lot!!! I love singing and i hope i can continue this for a long time to come. :)

golmaalgopal said...

hiya....wow...ur voice's gr8....jus with a lil practice shruthi can be perfected(my humble opinion) or maybe it was jus due to the not upto the mark recordin setup.......anyways...keep it up...

Keshi said...

Keshi.

Venkatesh said...

hey.. heard it.. it is very good.. you have got a very good voice ("sarreram nalla iruku"). you gotta practice your brukas :-).. didn't you get ur sruthi box to Singapore?? I have two of my mridangams here in US..
