Jana Gana Mana

The Indian national anthem, 'Jana Gana Mana', is known to almost every Indian. Every Indian would be taught not only to sing it but also to do so with respect towards the nation. It is written in Bengali but sung by every Indian irrespective of the language spoken by him/her. But it is a misfortune that the meaning of the song is actually not known to many of us. May be because we weren't taught the meaning of the song or may be because we never asked anyone about that or never showed much interest in knowing what 'The national anthem' actually means. It is really important to know it's meaning.

Today, after many years of singing the national anthem in ignorance, I wanted to know it's meaning. Thanks to Google.

P.S.: You can know the meaning of Indian national anthem from here.

Sreeram Chandra's concert at Infosys

Yesterday was the day when I waited back at my workplace to see 'The Indian Idol' perform and I felt lucky to witness such a wonderful performance. I wondered, how on earth could somebody have such immense levels of energy!

During the times when he performed for Indian Idol, we waited to watch him on the show, we loved the way he did magic with those songs, the ease with which he sung the toughest of the songs was remarkable, we prayed for him to be the winner in the finals. May be he was only a singer or just a performer back then. But after yesterday's show, I must say he is a rock star.

The stylish looking Sreeram started off with Khwaja mere khwaja, Subhanallah, Summer of 69, Bulla ki jaana main kaun, Sun raha hai na tu, Tu meri ahoori pyas pyas, Chammak challo, Dhinka-chika, Melikalu tiruguthunte ammayo, Kaatamarayuda, Who are you.. so on and after entertaining with his performance for 3 hours, he showed us that he's got more and he flawlessly performed Shankarmahadevan's breathless.

Hats-off to the rock star!
