I did this experiment once again, almost after 5 months. I know that some of you will think - what the heck, he is back with his bulk email (though you may just write me back for not adding you & touchwood !!! would I have received very very few such mails). And hence, I would like to share the result of the experiment, which is @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A01v78cwBic&feature=youtu.be It is also embedded here on this page.
After few good and not-so-good attempts, here is one more attempt. This time, it is a song from the movie Barfi - "Main Kya Karu". Hope you would like it !!!
Have a nice week ahead, till the next update, CYA.
It has been close to two months since
I've started blogging again with “ Good Morning Bangalore!!! ”.
And today, it has been a month since I had uploaded my first song on
Youtube - “ Take me to your heart “. Since then this would be my
11th blog entry and today I'm preparing for my 5th
song upload. 4 songs already have more than 300 views. I have been to many places, done different things. This
is all from the inspiration that I've received from Bangalore. These
months have really been amongst best times that I'm having in my
life. Yes, there is a sure scope for making these moments even
better, if...
Well, I know how I would like to
complete this sentence (as I am missing few things like my home and the sense of
being a part of family) but, for you, I leave it to your imaginations
and creativity :) .
And, once again, I thank Bangalore for
bringing good times back to my life. After coming here, it was only
some time, maybe few hours that I was not in the bright mood. Here,
apart from work and normal day-to-day life, it has been blogging,
singing and moving around. Yes, I am working on the check-list from
my 2013 resolution. And while I'm doing this, I'm enjoying every
moment of it. Sorry, but I donno why, today my vocabulary is falling
short of words.
Here are those blogs which came up
Here are those songs which were heard
for at least 600 min by you all.
Here are places where I have been
(Jayanagar, MG Road, Malleshwaram, ISKON, Orion Mall, Bellandur and
Manyata)
Thank you for making my day. Thanks to
you and thanks to Bangalore.
I will keep on posting my experiences,
till then CYA...
“You Belong With Me” belongs to
Taylor Swift's Grammy Award winning album “Fearless”. The original song and the entire album is really awesome and one of my favorites. That makes me choose this song for my next experiment.
Believe me, it's an complete experiment. I have
tickled its lyrics a bit and converted it into a boy song.
Like
“short skirts” gets converted to “blazers”,
“high heels”
to “Rolex”,
“sneakers” to “Fastracks”,
“girl” to
“man”
"girlfriend" to "boyfriend" and finally
“she” to “he”.
Then recorded it in my voice using my
mobile and further mixed with “Karaoke” from “Marie Elaine”
And that is how I could bring to you
the male version of “You Belong With Me”. Its an complete
experiment as I have added music to my recordings for the first time
and now I am publishing it.
Enjoy it!!
(I hope I have given sufficient credits
to original song creators and Karaoke creator :) )
It's Sunday, the 13th, 10
o'clock at night and I am in my gallery at third floor kneeling upon
those railings and watching the road stretched over a kilometer. It's
a pleasant atmosphere as mercury is resting in between 15-20 degree C
and a silent wind is blowing around.
Over the stretch of the road, what I
see is that Bengaluru is going back home. This Bengaluru is not that
Bangalore which sits in an air-conditioned office and enjoy their
weekends at home or indulge in some leisure activity. But this is
Bengaluru that runs the city even on weekends. While going home, they
don't have their Nanos', Suzukis', Fords', Hondas', Toyotas', Chevys', Merz,
VWs' or Audis'. These don't even have their Splendors', Passions',
Avengers' or Enfields'. Also they don't have those Volvos' carrying them to their destination. They have their special bicycles and
tricycles. When Bangalore was enjoying its day, Bengaluru was out in
the sun, busy earning their bread even on weekends. When Bangalore
works hard for the whole day (or night, depending on their shifts)
and then dismiss their work calling it off for the day, they don't
struggle a lots except that for the traffic. But when Bengaluru calls
it off for the day, their second work starts from there arranging their
carts and then pushing, pulling or riding it back to their homes,
which is another work in its own way. It has just done the same and
Bengaluru is going home now. Bengaluru, hats off to you!!!
Once, long back, a friend of mine used
to tell me – look Shekhar, there are so many people out there
earning their lives the hard way, you are not the only one to
struggle and find it painful but others take a lot more pain than you do.
You should look at them and feel lucky, thank God for his mercy.
Today, looking at Bengaluru, reminds me what those words meant. And
I, both, thanked God for keeping me on this side and prayed for those
on another side. But deep inside, I felt even with all their
struggles, they are as happier as I am. Or maybe they are in much
better condition, who are staying with their families which support
their struggle. I am a part of Bangalore but my mom, sis and bro are
800 kms away from me and I am here all alone. And same is true with
many many Bangalore dwellers, who are part of the crowd but still
have their friends and families, only on their mobiles or messengers or emails. Please think Bangalore – which way you want to go. Maybe
Bangalore also has few things, that it can learn from Bengaluru.
And this reminds me... I have not
checked my Gmail since almost two weeks now. Had just been on Gtalk
and GoTalkMobile to keep in touch back home and maybe today I have
nice time to see some mails and post his blog.
It has been an hour since I had seen
the scene at the road. And as I see now, pedestrians have quit the
road, Bengaluru is no more active. All I see are some vehicles and that's it. Even those sign-boards, over the bus stop, that lit up
during the evening have been shut down. That reminds me of a song,
which I dedicate to Bengaluru, a song from movie Tezaab, sung by
Nitin Mukesh, Shabbir Kumar & Alka Yadnik and composed by LP.
Here it is...
Friends, as I like to sing, here is "Take me to your heart" sung by me. Original composition comes from MLTR, which is really melodious. This is the first time, I have uploaded my voice to Youtube, so send in your remarks. As it is 2-Jan-2013, I wish everyone Happy and Prosperous new year 2013.
Good Morning, First of all, thanks for over 80 views in 2 days for my first youtube upload. And be ready for the weekend treat as here comes my second upload (on suggestion from a college friend). The song is "Aankhon Mein", originally composed by Aryans and original video ft. Shahid Kapoor and Hrishita Bhat. The original video is worth watching as one could watch Shahid and Hrishita as they were during summer of 99.
When it comes to me, this song is special since I had sung the same on the very first day at Apte and hece I have added my pic from Apte days to this song. :) So enjoy your weekend with the song
Have a great day ahead. Special thanks to Bangalore and I will get back soon. Till then... CYA...
