The Living Legend – Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna

Hi All,
I am a ardent music fan and have learnt classical music myself for a few years. Thanks to my parents for encouraging me to do that. I know how important a role music has played in my life. Well if you think i intend to talk about my self in this post …. sorry i don’t have that on my mind.

I owe a lot to a person for my interests in classical music and the person is none other than the living legend , the Mastero , the one and the only Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna. In my personal opinion Dr.BMK (as he is popularly known) is another dimension to indian classical (karnatic) music. My interests in music refactored a million times only after i started listening to this great mastero.

If you wondered what is that i like the most about the legend , i would say there is nothing that a true music lover would not like about this legend. The ever charming voice , his unchallengable alapanas , his undisputed gamakas , the swords perfection in swaras , his ever ending creativity , his sense of humor and the list goes on…. Dr.BMK is undoubtedly a synonym for karnatic music and in my opinion the undisputed king of indian classical music.It is relieving to know that the master has been awarded most of the highest awards in the country but i really wish and pray he gets the bharat ratna which he deserves .

Some of my personal favourites sung by the mastero: Devadhi deva , Pibare Ramarasam , Tualsi dala mulache , Nagumomu , Maneyolagado govinda , Radhika Krishna , Ra Ra maa intiki , Meenakshi jayada varada …….and any thing that this legend has and would sing…..

Long live Dr.BMK….

Where are we heading?

Hi All,
The recent Telangana developments have come in uninvited. It makes me think where are we heading as a nation? As a democratic country we should look at ways of living and ruling in consenses. There are enough problems in the country that we are dealing with and developments likes these just add to it. We indians should learn to live together and not get back to the age old british tactics of divide and rule policy and instigate unwanted voilence/issues in the country.

We have very wary neighbours who are waiting to divide our country and developments/demands like these will be a welcome stand for the enemies.

It would be no surprise going forward if people said that they want their cities/towns to be a seperate state ( or even country who knows ). At this rate i am not sure how many states would india have eventually.

I request all the telangana seeking citizens to give this a second thought . We have a identity today because of the country we live in. Let us not get in to this splitting business even more and show the world that integrity and sovereignty are just on paper in our country. For heaven sake let us live with what we have and learn to live better……make this nation stronger……

Karnataka state political crisis – A Shame?

Hi All,
When we almost thought we have a stable government in karnataka , a new crisis has surfaced yet again. As you all are aware of the state BJP crisis has put the state to shame in a time when people were trying to over come the horrific flood debacle.

What are the voted representatives doing? I mean it is their fundamental duty to help people in crisis and act on the flood issue as a priority. For that matter any government immaterial of which party they belong to. The politicians can not afford to indulge in politics even in a flood releif campaign. It is ruthless to look for political mileage when trying to get people out of crisis.

Today people are shrewd enough to know if a commitment is genuine or not. The politicians need not get in to a rat race to show that they care for people. It is unfortunate that even natural debacles are being taken advantage of by our own politicans. As rightly projected by the media the politicians are resting in luxury resorts while thousands of homeless people struggle for their survival.

One good thing is that a lot of public support has evolved on the flood releif operations and it is good to see indian public caring for their counterparts in trouble while people who are legally elected to care for them are busy in political lobbies. The karnataka people have to be proud of the brothers and sisters who are lending a helping hand. Reddyappa’s are you listening?
