The Unsaid...

"Jo bhi main kehna chahoon, barbaad karen alfaaz mere, alfaaz mere..."

("Whatever I want to say, is ruined by my words, my words...")

- Irshad Kamil, from the Hindi film "Rockstar"

And hence, "The Unsaid..."

Desh Raag in D

Hi All,

It's with great pleasure and excitement that I present my latest composition to you all! The song is based on Raag "Desh" but it doesn't necessarily conform to all the hard-set rules of the raag; enough liberties were taken with the usage of adjoining notes; there is also a mild touch of one of my favorites, Raag "Sarang", in there. :)

This song is special because a number of my friends (including three of my college band mates) played the role of contributing artists - Arun (he always has these invaluable suggestions on how to build a track), Mahesh (a fantastic keyboard player), Vikram (I haven't come across anyone more passionate about the bass), Shriram (an awesome player of string instruments). Thank you all for your amazing ideas and contributions!

The song has been recorded in three different languages - Telugu, Hindi & Tamil (in the order of conception). Much thanks to all the lyricists (Chaitu, Sonal & Arun) for coming up with some scintillatingly poetic and, at the same time, hummable lines for the songs. Also, a BIG thanks to all the singers (Mrudul, Revati, Sonal & Chaitu, again!) who not only came up with lilting renditions in their own unique styles, but also great improvisations that I couldn't have come up with by myself.

Special thanks to Revati Nalole, my Hindustani teacher (she has sung the Hindi version). This song wouldn't have happened without her music lessons.

Here are the tracks along with credits (in detail).

Lyrics:

Nuvvena? Nee navvena?

(Is this you? Is this your smile?)

Kavvinche... nee choopena?

(Is this your look that is making me go crazy?)

Ninne choodagane gunde lona edo... rhythm moginattu unde...

(I feel a rhythm racing in my heart whenever I see you...)

Edemaindo kani kallu ninnu chuda, varam koruthu unde...

(I don't know what's happening, but my eyes are requesting a 'boon' to keep looking at you forever...)

Oh uh oh... em andame...

(Oh uh oh... how beautiful you are!)

Oh uh oh... nanu champene...

(Oh uh oh... this is killing me!)

Charanam:

Nathone nenunde lookamlo, digivachave o taarakalaa...

(You came in to my world like a star descending upon the sky...)

Ee roze ee vela neevalla, jariginda ee godavantha oh oh...

(Did all the pandemonium in my life begin with your arrival?)

Neetho matadaalani entho chusa...

(I tried so hard to talk to you...)

Naa lo nene… (edo) oohinchesa...

(And dreamed doing so...)

Neeke ivvalantu poole kosa...

(I plucked flowers just for you...)

Anukundedo kavitaga rasaa...

(And wrote down all my thoughts as a poem...)

Etuvaip elutuvunna… ninne hey vetikestunna

(Wherever I go... I keep looking out for you, hoping to get at least a glimpse...)

Hey, kalaga anipistunna… aa kala lone jevinchainaa… oh... oh ho oh!

(Hey, even if this is all just a dream, I don't mind living in this dream forever...)

Emaindo! Nee mayalo...

(I don't what has happened to me because of you...)

Padipoya nee premalo...

(I have fallen in love with you...)

Hope you like it! :)

Regards,

Chiru

Love is in the air...

Hey guys,

I am very excited to present my first duet song to you all... :)

This track was first composed for the short film, ISRH (by Teja Dirisala), but has since been enhanced in to a complete song.

As the name goes, the song is a love duet which has been beautifully sung by Chaitanya Deshpande & Mrudul Phulgirkar Patankar (thanks a lot, guys!).

Special thanks to Vikram (who played the Bass) & Arun (for all his suggestions, especially with regards to percussion).

Buddy!

Hey guys,

I am very excited to present my first short film score to you all. :)

Thanks to Sarat Sharma and his team at YP Films for the opportunity to score for 'Buddy!'. It was both a challenge and a great experience working on the soundtrack for this film.

The whole experience was all the more special since both my brothers, Harish and Parvesh have also worked on the film. Harish created the art work that can be seen along with the end credits while Parvesh is the guy playing the main lead. :)

Without further ado, here's the film (Language - Telugu, subtitled in English):

Priyasakhi...

Hey guys,

It's with great pleasure that I present to you my second composition in Tamil... it is actually a Tamil remake of my last song which was recorded in Telugu, Priyathama...

The lyrics are considerably different in Tamil... Arun has done a great job coming up with some 'scintillating' lines for this version. It's unbelievable that this is the first time he is attempting lyrics for a tune.

Chaitu, who originally sang the Telugu version, has sung the song beautifully in Tamil as well. Thanks a lot bro, for your passion and commitment, and for adding so much value to this song.
