Selamat Hari Raya
I am back....
It has been for few months now I hadn't written anything on this blog. New and added workload have somewhat prevented me from scribbling as often as I did before. My school assignments, exam, and music classes too gets me on the ball without a break. So, at least tomorrow, for one day, I can sit back and relax for few hours before travelling to KL on Saturday. I am excited to look forward to another important event in my life. Keep that date in my diary for sure!! Set to sail for another exciting journey...Aside that let me wish all my Muslim friends SELAMAT HARI RAYA and happy holidays to all..
Wishing all my Muslim friends
SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA

Potraits of the past!
My engineering maths lecturer, Ms Reeva Bala;college mate, Ganesan and Mr Ashok,Electronic Engineering lecturer at Banting GH staff quarters - 1985
Mum & Dad
Shanti Devi- cousin sister in Japan
WIT student council meeting '87
Remembering a college mate- thank You, Muru!!
Sometimes we're so caught-up with our daily busy life that we lapsed into a temporary memory loss, unknowingly forgotten that there are many friends out there whom we had acquainted along in the journey of our lives and how they had played a very crucial role for what we're today.
College years are one of my sweetest experiences in my life. Studying and staying in hostel far away from home, I found myself lost and homesick during the beginning months but soon I had bonded sound friendship with wonderful new course mates. Among them is a brilliant person who had been one of my inspirational soul later in my life. She taught me many lessons without she realizing it. Her resilience and steadfastness and never give up attitude despite many challenges gives me reasons why I should not be easily subdued by my own shortcomings.
I was very happy to receive her call today after a long period. She is now a lecturer in one of the local technical colleges in Klang and currently pursuing her Masters while teaching.
Ghees!! How time flies; the changes; and the memory still fresh in my mind of those precious moments in class with collage mates. Next week, I plan to visit my dear friend and the college I had once studied.

Decision Making
It has been quite a while I didn't glace through my blog till had finished on my assignments. It was soo cool with over 300 pages and looking forward to my first semester exam next June!! Wish me luck!!The one thing that came in mind today is how to make decision during time of confusion and being indecisive.
I'd realised it was quite not that simple and not that difficult either. Just dive within and touch the heart and ask the "self" for answers. Slowly the necessary answers to our needs (not desires) shall appear in crystal clear image. Then proceed to act upon that without a second thought and achieve the set goal or target. While this is done, if there are any challenges forthcoming, then just correct and seek experts opinions to fine tune the action process till the goal is reached.
Happy decision making folks!!

Amirthavarshini - Sri Sampagodu S Vignarja
He walked in with grace, he is prolific singer , his songs are superb, and we are inspired by his renditions of great classical songs!
One of the most enchanting vocal renditions, I'd ever attended is "Amirthavarshini" by Sri Sampagodu S Vignaraja's carnatic vocal concert. This 2 hours vocal concert was held at TFA(Spore) on 21st, February in Singapore. Once again, I was swept away to another "loka" listening to his powerful, brilliant and reverberating vocal cord.
Each and every spew of his music notation out from his larynx, pierced deep into our earpiece drums. We're transfixed to his "bava". His mastery in rendering his songs were fantastic. He is verily a professional "music sculptor" indeed. He sculptures the vocal sounds to form mental visual musical shapes from the original great Indian carnatic music composers/singers and we could "view" all these in beautiful sound formations.
He has powerful vocal cord that could easily scale up and down all the octaves with ease and style. Gifted with an incredible energy level, his voice glides effortlessly as though like a feather floating soft and gently in blowing winds.
We thought 2 hours was not enough to quench our thirst. We in unison cajoled him for more and he obliged us and sang an extra half hour. What a day and a concert to remember for a long time.
Thank you so much for the concert and your live vocal music to us and we need more in the near future, perhaps in a larger concert hall...!!
Note : Sri Sampagodu S Viknarja is currently teaching in Temple Of Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur

New Year with a Bang!!! CNY around the corner!!
It has been a wonderful new year start this year. I never thought that there are so many plans on hand need to be worked out and also some not so wonderful events happened recently. I had to grimace in pain on those occasions while learn to let go few others!!
A friend of mine husband met an accident and passed on. Attended the funeral and it was an awful feeling. No matter how many funerals are attended, each has its own life story. The sadness are overwhelming at times, in that no words can console at that moment of grief!!
Then, life goes and moves on. WOU enrolment to fulfill another paper chase had begun. Need to complete 14 papers with additional 2 projects before can be conferred a Master graduate. The battle has just started...first semester with 3 subjects to gulp!!
I could feel and soaked by showers of good hope rain. A little roller coaster ride of ill health last year had finally smoothed round this corner. Now, the key word is "buzi"!! Can't have any breather since end of January. 7 days aren't' enough..!!! Oh! Gosh!! Wait, I need a breaker, come this CNY holidays but then, it's not going to be in that direction at all....but I love..to be on the move...hapi holidays!!!
Carnatic vocal exam too is soo near, I could just start the panic button on!! Level kritis are challenging, plus the paper exam..I am getting fine doze of music hale..frantically trying to get into the brain as much as possible on all the musical notations..hundreds of them!!!
sa ri ga ma pa.......
