A bad man

I think I am a bad man. And selfish.  And uncouth. 

Here is a song I keep singing in my heart. The lyrics and notes.

Jesus Christ is living in my soul

Sachin- Jigar

Sachin Jigar gives good songs to Bollywood these days. They were good in Stree 2 movie. And the recent song of theirs 'Naamumkin' is a great number and is frequently played in radio. I like the song 'Naamumkin' a lot.

Hey Sachin-Jigar,

Greetings.

If possible try these two things.

1. Use Mohit Chauhan in one of your songs.

2. Make songs of Pune, songs of Kolhapur, Songs of Kutch etc. taking a cue from Ilaiyaraja sir.

Best wishes,

With heaps of best wishes,

Kirtivasan

Ilayaraja

I lived most of my life in north India. But we had relatives in south. And we would go to south during summer. So south India was never alien to me.

Also I did my education in Coimbatore. I spent four years there.

Initially during engineering, I secretly loved only RDBurman, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji, Ravindra Jain and others. 

But gradually I started to love Ilayaraja songs. Probably he is the only music director who was able to blend folk type of songs for cinema so well. Anyway, that is what I liked about Ilayaraja. His folk type of songs. He was a genius and had a great variety. He was experimental too.

Ten favorite songs of Ilayaraja are

1. Poonkathave

2, En iniya pon nilave

3. Ithu oru pon malai

4. Madhura marikozhunthu

5. Rasaathi unnai kaanatha

6. Aracha santhanam

7. Mandram vantha

8. Kaadhal kavithaigal

9. Oru nallum unnai 

10 En jeevan paduthu

Many of my blog friends down south may not know that I love his songs so much. And also the fact that I am able to recall them.

Good wishes to Ilayaraja sir. His music is way too far ahead when compared to the person Ilayaraja. And that is what I feel. And it is meant to be a compliment.
