My blog has moved to http://ramsabode.wordpress.com posted by Ram at 9:16 AM 0 comments  
Came to know today morning that the Indian government has apparently asked ISPs in India to block a few sites and *.blogspot.com where my blog resides seems to be one of the unfortunate ones on that list. Read more on this in Greatbong's blog here. As a result, I am forced to move to wordpress.com, a move I have been contemplating for some time now. The URL of my wordpress blog will be https://ramsabode.wordpress.com .... just replace blogspot with wordpress in the present blog's URL. All my previous posts on blogspot should be available there, though the formatting I had done in many of the earlier posts is now missing. There are also a few mis-aligned snaps here and there. Please bear with me while I set them right. Please link to the new blog of mine and continue reading/commenting on my posts. Signing off with the hope that government doesn't start targeting wordpress next. I can't go along hopping from one place to another for long. posted by Ram at 9:15 AM 0 comments

Sikkil Gurucharan (SGC) performed at the Bangalore Gayana Samaja auditorium today. The highlights of the beautiful concert were the kannadagowla raga alapana and alapana & kalapana swaram for the main kriti in todi raga. On a day when there were 4 good concerts, all clashing with each other, especially the ones by Gurucharan and T.M.Krishna, I am more than happy that I came to listen to this concert, though there is a bit of sadness on missing the lecture demonstration by T.M.Krishna. Anyways, I am really happy that there are two more T.M.Krishna concerts scheduled this month and the next in Bangalore and I will try to attend them at any cost. Here are the details of the SGC concert: Vocal: Sikkil Gurucharan Violin: Charulata Ramanujam Mridangam: H.S.Sudheendra Ghatam: Srisyla List of songs: 1) viribOni (varnam) - bhairavi - kanda ata - pachimiriyam adiyappA 2) sidhi vinAyakam - mOhana kalyAni - Adi - harikEsanallUr muthiAh bhAgavathar 3) murugA murugA - sAvEri - misra chApu - periasAmi thUran 4) kamalAmbAm bhajarE - kalyAni - Adi - muthuswAmi dIkshitar (sung on special request from a female fan :-) ) 5) sogasujUda - kannadagowla - rUpakam - thyAgarAja 6) pAhi pAhi - malayamArutam - Adi (tisra gati) - prAnEsha vittala dAsa 7) chEtasrI - dwijAvanti - rUpakam - muthuswAmi dIkshitar 8) mAmayUra - bilahari - Adi - mazhavai chidambara bhArati 9) gajavadanA - tOdi - Adi - kumara rAja ettEndra 10) gOpAlam - viruttam in rAgas sumanEsa ranjani, sindhu bhairavi & behAg nanyAku badavanO - behAg - kanda chApu - purandaradAsa 11) manamE kanamum - bImplAs - Adi - pApanAsam sivan 12) thillAna - hamsAnandi - Adi - srImushnam rAjA rAo 13) pavamAna - sowrAshtram - Adi - thyAgarAja posted by Ram at 9:44 PM 0 comments
Thats what the world seemed to ask Zizou after the head-butting. Zidane may have said "Is kyun ka jawaab nahi hai mere paas" but here is a take on might have led him into doing that when the whole world was watching. Matterazi pulls Zidane's shirt, suddenly smells something and asks: "Zizou tum bhi ..... yeh duniya mein sab log chlormint kyun khaate hain?" The head-butting happens ... Zidane heard muttering to the fallen Matterazi: "Dobara mat poochna" posted by Ram at 1:36 AM 2 comments

Not long ago, two people decided to tag me. So here goes something akin to what everyone who gets tagged seems to do ..... I am thinking how should I go about this tagging thing thrust upon me by Snoop and Baarney I said once to my best friend that I am an extrovert who loves living with people all around and I realize every bit of that right now, sitting alone at home I want to pursue a career in music at least in parallel to work, if not full time I wish someone would just pay off my ISB loan ... the thing stares in my face at the beginning of every month and plays havoc on my bank balance I miss the days spent in my quad in ISB with Alok, KP, Sallu and Dood ... I will cherish those moments throughout my life I hear what most other people say or at least try to do this most of the time as I have learnt a lot in life doing the same. I wonder how would life have been had 'age-shortage' not prevented me from taking up the medical profession I regret nothing ... there is something or the other to learn from every mistake done I am Ram .... how insightful ... rite? I dance pathetically I sing when I am alone or with enthu people I cry very rarely. The last time I vividly remember myself crying was when grandpa passed away. He meant so much to us. I am not Raavan .. shit .. that was a real poor one ... I write real junk stuff ...... you needn't have read this far to discover the same. I confuse between people who pretend to know and people who actually know, especially in areas of discussion new to me. I need ghar ka khana badly .... would love if it was cooked by granny .. she is the best cook ever I should continue the learning process throughout my life I finish and liberate you from reading this shit any further ..... well just a sec ... one more important thing I tag: Alok Ferrari Gurucharan KR MK7 Vijay Muhahahahaha ...... posted by Ram at 12:05 AM 11 comments
