happy to know u all..prblom is that I get only few time in Net and I ll spend it in main forums like MAS..I ll try to participate here

regds
Ashraf.

Yes. That's true. My village is actually called "Panthottam", and it's between Morazha Central and Cherukunnu.

Shyam!!! HMPH is a snort used by certain unmentionable greats.
But Ashrafji I was only kidding. Humein mazak karne ki buri aadat hai.

Ashraf Saare.....Thanks for your good wishes...

Priya......"Unmentionable Greats"??? Lol!!!! Hehehehe...

He he cool oxymoron, eh???
And one of those adjectives/nouns definitely a misnomer!!!
Pulli pakshe eedekyu 'invisible great' aayi maarundundu!!!!

Yenney aarengilum villicho? "Great" ennu kaeta pola thoni.

Oh!! Methot maybe 'twas the 'ox' and 'moron' that suggested voices to U!!

You called poor Shyam an 'ox'. The 'moron' reference, however, is most-uh appropriate wunly.

The ox is a fine hard-working animal!!! A symbol of India!!
But how would morons understand that!!!

Can Some one translate the following lyrics to malayalam.

It is from the song 'Vaisaga sandhye '

vaisaga sandhye nin chundilenthe aruma sagithan kirana kaanthiyo
Omale parayu nee vinnil ninnum paari vanna lavanyamo
( what is Lavanyam mean?) what the whole line mean?

then the line

hridaya mukula thandriyeki devamrutham( what is devamrutham?) what the whole line means?

then the line

malarilathil maduvasantham poothu vidarnnu
rathinadiyil jalatharangam neele muzhangi(No idea about whole line)

Don't wonder even without knowing the whole meaning this is my alltime favourite malayalam song.I may have heared this song minimum 500 times.Older malayalam songs are too difficult to understand.

HI

Actually I don't know the pure Malayalam.What I know is spoken and written Malayalam...Enikku malayalam songs ishttam illatthathinu kaaranam I can't understand it's heavy lyrics(older songs)..For example...there is song'Pramadavanam veendum'...I don't know ...hwhat it meant....I can understand Hindi song lyrics better than these songs...May be bcs I am back in Malayalam or Lyric writers are too ahead us in Malayalam.Still I enjoy those olden goldies.

Pinne I llnever forget Malayalam...I am too nostalgic about my Village,My Calicut,My School,My college(Devagiri &Govt Arts).My University(Calicut)..My Keralam and My India..But for the time being I am busy ...that is why I often not comes in this thread..
by the way...I typed all in English..sorry for that.
Regds Ashraf
N.B:....I have seen that Priyaji is busy in Noorjahan section...Really I don't know who is this NoorJahan?...I never heared about her..Is she famous than Geeta Dutt to have a separate section?..Then why I did n't hear about her

Ashraf - saare !! Priya eytatthi ningallku sheriyaaytti kodukkum !! Noorjahaan ariyillae !! My heartfelt sympathies to you

Pssst... actually enikkyum adhhehatthu patthi sheriyaayittu ariyilla ! Peyru maathram keyytittu unnaayirunnu. Got propoerly introduced thru HF. Actually Priya, Im quite proud (and jealous ) of you. Being from Kerala, u have such a beautiful taste and knowledge in a Pakistani singer is indeed commendable . And me being from Bombay, have no clue about her (Was more busy gathering info about Rafi ). Thanks to you and others at NJ forum, I'm just beginning to collect a few gems and enjoy her style of singing. Thanks so much

You actually epitomise my own signature ! (*which doesnt put me in such a good light though *)

Pakistani singer!!!!....nammal evidunnu ariyaan...I got into Hindi film music only in 18th or 19th year...I got connected to the 'international' only through internet recently.I have not even time to search abt Rafi Saab and his songs...If I get spare time I ll go for Lataji and Kishore..Personnal feeling is that These three are the titans of the world music..and HFM is no:1 in all type of music.Not forgeting our Yesudas and Malayalam...Anyway really I have n't heared about Noorjahan till I come to Hamaraforums.

Noorjehan nyamuude deshattide paatukaari tanne aayirunnu Vivek........Partition kazhinyata tanne ayaal 'Pakistan' il poyee.......Adinde mumbil ayaal nyammude bhaarathathinde valya prasiddhamaana paatukaari aayirunnu....So it would be wrong to call her a completely "Pakistani" singer..... Endu paraynnu Priya??? (Infact I was surprised that Priya hadn't commented on this one earlier..... )

Ya Shyam ... me asking to be forgiven But nevertheless, the point I wanted to stress was Priya's efforts to follow her career and have such a huge collection of her songs.

AS AB wud say ..... Main ... Aur Meri Agnyaanta

Whoooooooooooo!!!! Nyaan orthu ee forum chattu poyi ennu.

Excuse the English but cannot type loads on Madam Noor Jehan in Malayalam na. Noor Jehan for those who do not know was born in Pakistan (tho it was all India then)--she started her acting career as a child artist. Very soon she began singing too. Classically trained and diff from the heavy voices of the day she was a huge hit. By age 15 or so she was heroine in movies and her singing was the rage. She was called the Mallika-e-Tarannum!!! Lataji began her career in the Noor Jehan mould. In fact for her first audiotion she sang a Madam song. During Partition Noor Jehan went back to her home area and became the premier singer of Pakistan. Noor Jehan and Lataji remained friends till Madam passed away in 2001.
I got to know Madam only after her death though I had heard of her from childhood thro the references in articles on lataji. I happened to see a song on the neta nd listened to it. Got hooked. After Asha, no voice, no singing had touched me like this--the feeling that transcends time and space--the feeling of a rapport that is beyond understanding. Anyway I became her devoted fan.
And Vivek, bheek kaun maag raha hai. Music is universal. It has no boundaries. It just touches the heart.

Pinne Ashraf saare enniku Malayalam translate chaiyyan arindyooda. Nyaanum manasilakattu kondanu Malayalam paatu kuravu kelkunathu. Unni Bengal-il valarnathalle. Pullikyum translate chaiyyan pattoola ennu vicharikyunu. Hits is Ur man!!!

Priya !! ..ye kya keh diya tumne ...bheek !! o from my signature

I was referring to the trend of 'borrowing' from and even apeing western tunes nowadays. Yes... muzik has no boundaries and esp music from the sub-continent which doesnt recognise the LOC. Me thankful to you for introducing me to another khazaana from apna hi ghar Amen !

So what happened to the signature??? Waise woh kiska sher hai?
Oh, nothing like the music of the subcontinent much tho I love Western classical instrumentals!!!

Signature -- bahut kam use karta hoon.. dont wanna jhadofy everyone with my signature, u see

As for kiska sher hai.... dont know Actually remember Naushadsaab quoting this one in an interview when asked about the decline of Indian music in Indian films ! And it kinda fits in my philosophy too

Yes, me too like simple western instrumentals ...except that I really dont have much taste in it ...would love to develop some taste.. but Hindustani sangeet se fursat hi nahin milti... ..and ab after joining HF to poochho hi mat !

Ellarum evide poyi? Onam aakhoshikyuvano? Aarum naatil varunille?
