Music for the soul

Like all people, I love music. Music is one of my favourite pastimes. My favourite instruments are the Veena, Flute, Tabla and Jandai (Kerala Percussion instrument). I am a strong fan of Guruvayoor temple in Kerala. My head just spins around when I hear the Jandai during that Seeveli (Procession). I equally love the string instruments. I started liking the Saxophone after hearing the songs in "Duet".
I like all the songs of P. Unnikrishnan.Be it devotional or cine songs, I like them. I feel that there is a magical charm in his voice. His voice just floats over the music and swirls in the air. He gently swims over the lyrics. I like that way of singing.
In cinema my choice is Rahman and Harris Jayaraj. I like all Rahman songs (Someone told me that he did "BABA"
.....did he really do it? I don't see even a trace) and Harris Jayaraj Songs. Hey both of them have my favourite hairstyle.
But my choice in Lyrics is Bharathiar - the unbeatable and Vairamuthu - a maestro with quill (How are my adjectives?)
To enjoy the soothing lyrics of Bharathi, in the music of Rahman, with flute and Tabla in the orchaestra, that's my paradise!
