What would I say then -- my musical interests -- phew!!! it's a story (can make a mega serial). What I mean is: our mind follows the trends. Life started with my loving mom's thaalattu (still I could feel my mom's sweetness), then in school days I would dance for all rocky ones, in Hr. Sec. adolescence peeped in and I got tuned to melodies (pain of love!! -- I was really mad over love), in college days the western madness swept my feet -- would go real crazy for Britney and die-hard fan of Enrique and BSB, MLTR -- not any specific. That too, Britney's "Dear diary..." , J Lo's "Secretly ...."... Hey, the list would go on and on...
I really donno how many moments would jus pass by when BSB's "as long as u love me...." was in the air. Those 3 years in Presidency I would say I was really crazy about western (westside??). I would let those musics scream in my room. That too "cup of life" was a big hit!!! then "Bailamos...". Then in my PG at Anna Univ., I tasted carnatics and soft music. I think my energy level was getting balanced at that time.
My life with research started when I could see a concept with jus as it is -- as.. it.. is.. -- not any expectation and ideas. Automatically my mind got tuned to musics which touched the soul: MSS's "kaatrinile varum geetham" (tears would roll down... I would say -- leave my life for the divine!!!), Susheela's divine melodies, and Carnatic ragas. These collections would soften me -- that too, "kandhar anuboothi" -- at any time and moment. Now I feel that I have learnt what my soul wants in music.
It was jus a transformation from one phase to another. An art of breathing music thro soul -- that's divine -- 'am going thro this phase now. I donno whether my end is nearing or I need to go still ....
"No expectations -- no ideas"
