Few weeks ago, I was walking back from my laptop service center, listening to songs in my iPod. I can’t say “songs” actually, I was listening to a single song that entire 1hr walk. ( that was crazy, I know 1 hr walk !! ). The song was ’Jaane do na’ from “Cheeni Kum”.  The song was beautiful and so very much attractive. So, where did I get this addiction to the song ? From this blog … On a musical note…  by Swati Kanitkar. 

So,  I introduce you to the first blogger of our new series, by Swati Kanitkar. Now, before you continue reading, go over to this post and listen to the song that I was talking about. 

Looking at her blogger profile, Swati in the Accounting industry and is currently in Richmond, VA, United States.  Apart from songs that she sung, she posts news bits about music, and also some experiments like this one. And yes, my favorite song from her blog is of course the Cheeni Kum song !!.  So, go ahead and listen to her songs, and let me know your comments !! 

PS: Since this is the first post in the new series, you may find a lot of things missing ( did you feel so ? let me know what more you are looking for, use the comment form ) …   but when we continue our journey through these musical blogs,  I will try to bring things much better, I promise !!

With this post, I would like to announce a new series on Indian Music Blog, which will introduce various music bogs and boggers behind them. We can not just leave it calling them bloggers. They are beyond bloggers. They are singers too. Most of them sing and record their own versions of songs, and publish them online. 

When I started this blog, I started spending more time online browsing through various music blogs and finally ended up among a large community of music bloggers or podcasting singers. It was an amazing experience, and their world is colourful. Brilliantly coloured.  Now, I am not very sure if regular music listeners and music enthusiasts are familiar with these communities, their blogs and their music.  This series, will be an attempt to introduce you to such a new experience and new music culture.

Will A R Rehman make it to Oscars ? That is the question on every Indian who loves music or everyone who loves Indian music. If you know him and his music well, you know the reason why these many Indians are crazy about him. I was not surprised to see an Orkut community named ‘ A R Rehman is God”. Yes, if music is a relegion, he has the right to be a God .. what you think ?
