Finally Its time to tell that I have sung in Mangal Pandey - The Rising.
Though its been a process which has happened over a year, I needed the time, to be sure, before I opened my trap about having sung for such a HUGE project.
And I was very adamant that ONLY Rahman Anna should give me my break in Hindi. Whether it be one line, or one song.
My experience of having met Javed Akhtar saab, Mr. Ketan Mehta,Mr. Ashutosh Gowariker who also happened to be there when recording this song, and something I didnt expect, interacting with Mr. Aamir Khan, whom I met two weeks back, when I was called in for a correction. Details shall follow shortly.
Once again I want to say one Huge thanks to Rahman Anna. For fulfilling my wish. And more than that, my mom. If not her, I am a nobody. Its not that I am harping on it, but no matter how many times I say how important Mom has been in shaping me, is and will be to nurture and bring a fuller musician, it is never enough, and people (also those who know us personally) dont ever ever seem to understand. Rahman Anna is Great. This line has a lot more meaning to it.
Maybe I shall try my hand at Podcasting with this song. A milestone in my career, and a milestone in my blogging tee hee.
Coming soon... to this blogspot near you !!!

I just finshed listening up to the audio of Mangal Pandey and i couldnt resist dropping off this comment, U've done a gr888 job with that Holi number....way 2 go.
hey that's great... can't wait 2 hear it...
Congrats Chinmayi.......
Thought of dropping comment in your blog :)
Nice to know about your song in The Rising. Rahman would have created a storm in this movie, i guess. Waiting to hear soon.
Awesome, heard the CD is out in Dubai/MidEsat...when is out in USA ?
Congrats n lemme tell, this is one helluva album. the songs get over you as and when u keep listening to the album.
I couldn't resist from buying the CD and I'd say rahman has again performed at his best. kailash Kher's compilation is awesome and most of all - I liked Main vari vari a lot - it enthuses.
chk a site for the reviews - http://ursmusically.blogspot.com/2005/07/mangal-pandey-rising-music-review.html - u'll be happy.
Well deserved break Chinmayi.
Congratulations and wish you the very best.
My source to listen is www.raaga.com and I don't see it there.
Any other websites to listen to?
Been a while since i saw your Restaurant reviews on Chennaionline !!!
How about a blog with your Top 10 Restaurants (The Must visit ones for us Non resident Chennaiites who make the short trip every 1.5-2 yrs)

Chinmayi is that your voice,the humming on the second interlude in Holi Rey song ?
Whow! A Big Congratulations!
I was eagerly expecting the music of "The Rising", and now that you have also been part of it, will certainly listen to it. I am sure this will open the door (with a big thud!) for you to the big world of bollywood.
Ganesh, thanks for the info.
I bought the CD last afternoon and liked all the songs.
Will have to listen more to comment. ( I left the CD at work...so...next week maybe).

Congrats on Mangal Pandey..
And I was very adamant that ONLY Rahman Anna should give me my break in Hindi. Whether it be one line, or one song.
I wouldnt call that sentimental, cos, i know how it feels good to blush, gush and get excited taking-in those simple moments and relishing them... when it happens the way we want.. isnt tht right?? :-)
I think I have to grab the tracks as soon as possible. I have read you, seen you (the pic on your blog), all that remains is to hear you.

Arun Muthiah: Mr. Gowariker happened to be there. Why I dont know and I dont ask either! This recording happened almost a year back. What matters to me, is that I meet them my knowledge grows.!
CHINMAYI!!!!
Well done! Looks like you had a great time singing for bollywood. Am sure there will be many more in the future. And would love to see some snaps of your tour with ARR. Regards to ur mum.
