Feast for the Eyes and Ears

Last saturday, went with Simon to a concert held at the Musuem Theater. George Frideric Handel's Oratorio's THE MESSIAH presented by The Madras Musical Association. Simon's friend Kalyani was part of the choir. Kalyani is a playback singer introduced in Tamil with her 'Adi Kozhi' song from the movie Thendral. Kalyani has since given many performances, including one with her band 'Route 10' in Sun TV's Ooh Lalala programme. She has also done some of our Station's programme title tracks.A few lines about George Frideric Handel; he lived in the 16th century, and one of the very famous baroque composer. His works has influenced great musicians such as Mozart and Beethoven, and his work helped in the transition from Baroque to Classical Era. 'Messiah' is one of his most famous works. The Museum Theater is such an awesome place. I am not very much well versed with the acoustics part, but a concert there is such a feast to the eyes and ears. Concert was great, but there were certain solo singer's who did not make use of the hall to throw their voice, they remained 'unheard heros'. I did not stay through the concert, but I'm looking forward to attend another event in the Theater.

RJ Reva is Back in Full Swing and Sound...

Hey Hey...here I am back... 'Vandhaaarai Vaazha Vaikkum Chennai' has been treating me well since I came here, and the most interesting thing that has happened since I have stepped here is my job in HELLO FM 106.4. As much as it sounds cliched when I say 'It's all an accident...' thats what it is, but I have been enjoying every moment of my live in this 'Dhinathandhi' group FM station which was officially launched on 2nd October 2006, on Gandhi Jayanthi.

Currently I am RJing a night-cap programme 'VIARAGA' no not VIAGARA... it is 'VIA-RAAGA'.. yeah, from 9pm to 11pm on weekdays, and my live (pun intended) is mostly revolving around that. That has been one of the reasons I have not been blogging, because I did not want to reveal too much of what I am doing, and who I am... during the early stages of the station.. well now I guess its allright, and anyway, I did miss all the blogging. In fact, I have told my folks back home about my job, just recently.

Another reason was the absence of a net connection in my life, and I am just not getting the inspiration to blog in college or in office. Now I have an airtel connection at home... and its rocking my life.

Radio has never been an option in my life; television was what I wanted to be in, but I guess paths do change drastically sometimes, but whatever it is, I am enjoying every single moment. There is a wealth of information in this field, and air waves are certainly exciting me. Then there is this FM surge in Chennai,... with all the new waves its a stormy sea out there.
