83 - When “inspired” music turned out to be better than the original


In the recent times, any musician who tries to copy or get inspired by another song and makes a composition under his name, is quickly found out and is always at a loss to explain why he did it!!  Earlier too music directors have wantonly got inspired by other works and had made suitable adjustments to create Hindi songs.  During the time when Internet was not available, it was difficult to find out the source of the Hindi music as people did not use to bother about such things.  That made the music directors scout different countries for various music and fine tune it to be recomposed to be known as their own music.

In this blog, I will be mentioning about the various “inspirational” sources accessed by RD Burman to give us some hummable and memorable Hindi songs.  Mind you, he was a great composer and has given us so many hits.  Although, most of his “inspirations” have done better than the originals😊 That’s my opinion!!

167. Ramanarayanam Temple, Vizianagaram

Image
This temple should be on your must-watch bucket list!  It was inaugurated in March 2014.  Not many people are aware of this temple.  I spoke to an official there as to why they are not promoting this in a big way.  He said they have a website and all the details are published there.  I believe, since most of the stuff is mentioned in Telugu language, they are not able to attract many visitors.  Although for the Hanuman 3-d laser projection show, held thrice in the evening, there is a crowd.    The temple is located on the outskirts of the Vizianagaram town. The temple is in the shape of a bow.  At the two ends of each bow, there are 2 temples, one for Ram-Lakshman-Sita and one for Vishnu.  Between the temples, shaped in the two bows, there are two galleries depicting Ramayana.  A total of 72 laminated moldings depict the entire Ramayana. At the mid-way of the two galleries, is a tall Hanuman statue, on which the 3-d laser show is ...

1 WhatsAppa Mantras

We all are aware of what WhatsApp is and use it almost on an hourly basis now.  These are some of MY mantras that I follow while using WhatsApp.  You might be following some of these on your own without realizing the same!!  In case you have identified more, please feel free to use the comments section to tell me.  Maybe I can publish an updated Mantras List later!!  Fix a fixed time for checking WhatsApp messages and replying to them.   Other times, just switch off the notifications so that you don’t unnecessarily check your phone for new messages.   Most of the times it would have been the same forward that you got 2 days back!!   Please remember, in case of any emergency, the contact would have called you and not have sent a message JJ Forward only those messages that bring some emotion to you – happiness, heart-whelming or something that makes you proud.   No need to forward just because someone else forwarded to you and you want...
