Crazy..It has been. This is waht I did:

(1) Drove all the way to Dallas from Columbia,SC (1000 miles oneway) for a vacation at my friend's (ramanan) place.
(2) took the MOTIF with me. this is the reason I did not fly.
(3) while in dallas, wrote the second draft of second paper and sent it to prof...so much for vacation !!
(4) sequenced a bengali song of haimanti with simple interludes.
(5) did some recording of my friend's voice along with the track.
(6) had wonderful fun with his family in the morning. ate quite well, also worked on my thesis, and recorded some songs of his.
(7) philosophized on life with him.
(8) on the way back stopped in Atlanta for a break and was asked out of the blue to play keyboard for Jolly kuherjee - the bollywood singer.
(9) was fed up to see the crazy party culture to which I was catering music to.
(10) hours of driving took a toll and my bed would not let me get up that easily.
(11) hardly got time to check e-mails. do not know how many offers of viagra have been missed.

will come p with more details later..

  5. Happy New year to all you folks !

    I shall post some recordings here soon. It was more of a free flowing jam session than a strict recording session.

    Will get back to normality soon.

  6. Murali went through your posts on P Susheela amma's experiences. I finished reading all the posts at one stretch. It was so interesting. I read it for my family the next day. It was such a herculean task and Hats off to you for doing it so well. I could see the undying spirit in you. May we wish you all the success in your life.

  10. Hi Murali,

    I'm Shobitha from Singapore. Was randomly reading some blogs and stumbled upon your very interesting website. I'm really intrigued..what musical instrument do you play? What's this thesis that you're working on? I used to keep a blog but i no longer post anything there. But you can contact me on shobitha15@hotmail.com whenever.

    Enjoy!

  11. Just read more of your blog and realised that you play the keyboard...i admire your talent. Despite formally learning Carnatic music, till today i dont even have the guts to sing one full song to my family or friends. And I never completed my Barathanatyam. And here, it seems like u pretty much took it up with your own interest. I wish i had the time and inspiration to take up my passion as well.
