Raghu dixit..... A Sunday Evening.....

Let the things happen!!! Believe me this is the thing which i have in mind.

Today(16th Nov,Sunday) me and Paresh went to Garuda Swagath(new one in Jayanagar), to purchase some books also to spend some time. There was this poster of Raghu, being his fans, we first went near it. It was dated 16th November named "Music of the Earth", but because of my screwed up memory i had to check my cell for today's date. Was stunned to see, its today, more interestingly it was 6.31pm in cell. Also show was on the same building at the same time. Wow!!! great thing to happen on an unplanned weekend. Just went there in no time, but it was crowded. Some how got place to stand, where we could see Mr.RD(Raghu Dixit, may be the next RD, if you are wondering about who is the first, then its the Boss R.D. Burman). He was in is typical, most stylish lungi and black T-shirt.
The show started with the song "I still love you". This is the song from his first album. As each and every-moment went on, it started to become crowded. This song is good. I never heard it before. Second song was, "Hey bhagwan". Even though i am an Atheist, i liked it. May be this song says about Raghu a lot, when he was striving for a break.
The show went on with the songs(given below), i noted the songs, so the order was like this:
I still Love you...
Hey bhagwan- In his second Zindagi...
Mysore se aayi- Even he knows about mysore's...
Guduguduiya sedi nodu- May be Raghu's best till now...
Amber- Smooth as silk...
Khidki... Windows should use this as their next booting tune...
Lokadha chinte- his next album. Nice song with a funny tune...
Ninna poojege- Most probably nowadays youths anthem...
Neene beku- My favourite track after the Gudugudiya...
Soruthihudu maniya maligi- Shishunala Sharif's one more track...
Eno idhe- One more wonderful song from Psycho...
I'm in Mumbai waiting for a miracle- Which has been done already...

Was indeed a great show. Hope that he does more shows and even movies like this. Brilliant, Folk-Rock combi, High pitch hypnotizing voice, Passionate and many more makes him special. He is one more reason for me to say "Proud to being a Mysorean".
Recently i missed the chance to attend his show in Jayanagar on Kannada Rajyotsava occasion. But now really happy.
Hey wait a second how can i forget about his sense of humor. His timing is excellent. Few of the things happened in the show are as below.
* After Hey bhagwan, everybody started shouting Pyscho... Raghu in response "Nan makla est jana theatre-ge hogidhri kai etthi (almost everybody raised their hand), mathe yaakro producer dhud bartha illa antha phone maad-thare".
* Somewhere in between crowd started to sing, he "nilsrapa saaku, haadinalli swalpa ragha, shruthi, taaLa ella irbeku... en sumne archothira". This was cool.
* When he was singing Eno idhe, somewhere he was struck since he couldn't remember the lyrics. Somebody in the crowd was singing, so he "aarthi kottu kari beka, lyrics gotthirauru yaaradhru banni..."
* May be the best part of the day. Almost at the end of the show, crowd started shouting "Once more!, once more!!!". In reply "ondhu vare ganTe indha ondhe samane haad-heLtha idhini, haalu-niru kudi antha heLauru yaaru illa, once more anthe once more!!!"


Till now i used to listen to his songs in TV and sometimes in FM and even the downloaded version. But thought of saying good-bye to those and purchased the album. Was a great time. Nice way to end a sunday to avoid monday blues.....

Raghu is a nice guy, who reply most of his scraps. I wish him all the best for every thing he does.
