Arivin Nilaave

The past few weeks have been quite hectic, both at work and home. Though I would love to have a long musical session in front of the microphone, I must wait till I see a few important things done and dusted. Right now, my mind is swimming in a sea of numbers as I try to master concepts in Finance and arm myself to face impending exams in Dec. This song was recorded long ago and only now did I summon the courage to post it for you.

Who doesn't enjoy challenges in life! We win some, We lose some. But isn't the excitement of facing them that fuels us up and keeps us from rotting in boredom!

When I was churning out one karaoke song after another (didn’t even relish doing some of those run-of-the-mill songs!), it was my friend Murali who made me listen to this song. I didn’t believe I could do it in the first place when he asked me to learn it.

Reason 1: The complexity of the song

Reason 2: If it went wrong somewhere (believe me, even an error of the slightest magnitude, almost inaudible to the human ear), there will be nowhere to hide from Murali’s utterly honest (if terribly wrong, scathing) remarks.

But the excitement of the challenge was too tempting. So here is my attempt for you to listen.

Movie: Rajashilpi (Malayalam)

Music: Raveendran

Originally sung by: K.S.Chithra

P.S: My dear Malayali friends will please forgive me for the utter murder of the language in some places!
