Kadhalin Padhayil (On the path of love)....
To the best of my knowledge this is my first full fledged composition...I filled in the lyrics in Tamil...Not tht am not comfortable writing in English, but the song has Tamil influence on it Thanks to Illayaraaja...Have tried vocal harmony for the first part of the song...can say it came out better than I expected..
The tracks of the songs undrewent loooots of changes...I dont think this even is the latest version but this is the one I got...I am in the process of re-engineering this song with different bass tracks and the interludes...Will probably improve the tempo the song as well...Coming soon...:)

Reservation - Death of the Merit System
It was the day of my counselling for Engineering colleges. The guy behind me in the line ended up in a Anna Univ and I did not. The reason was just simple. I belonged to Forward Caste and he did not. It has been more than 6 yrs since the event took place..The memory is still green in my mind.
Years have passed and I moved on from my Engineering to my job...The lesion had began to ebb...Now the government has inflicted a new one...It wouldnt be exaggerating if I said I was completely blown down for couple of days after reading the news of new reservation policy by our Government...A glimmer of hope when Supreme Court put a stay on the bill in late March. Even then you can't savor the moment...TamilNadu govt calls out for a bandh opposing SC's judgement (like the current 69% reservation is not enough)...i didnt know to laugh or cry...
It really hurts not as a forward caste element but as a rightful citizen to see the governments short sightedness...I feel a a tinge of joy when I see the dollar value weakening against the rupee...On one side India is growing rapidly on economical front in the global backdrop...But things like these worry me about the future of deserving umpteen teens and future of our country which is in their hands...
Where is this country heading to? I am not some religious chauvinist against backward people nor am I completely against reservations..there should be reservations for well deserving students who cannot afford a degree...Not some son of a rich industrialist who neither will value the degree and worst takes up the seat of an eligible cadidate...
The bottomline is the canonical form of reservations should be based on economical mileu and not caste structure. reservation should really benefit less fortunate people, to unearth hidden diamonds and not compromise a well deserving student and a powerful India. Jai Hind!!

Talkin Love
One of my first and favorite compositions...there were many comments on the mood of the song..I remember one of my friends commenting that it flaunts pathos...But to me its talkin love... Thats the reason I didnt want to add in lyrics to this song...coz if I do so Love will be confined to only one language...Since Love is universal I used the universal language..."Music"
This creation was done during my early days of experimenting in music...In that context it is raw and needs refining..Nevertheless it is closer to my heart...Mebbe coz I got all the tracks in one shot...I didnt hv to re-record any of the tracks...n also I used G- Minor Scale for this song which happens to be my fav as well....
