Krishna Nee Begane Baro

I heard this music as a mobile tune while making a business call and was immediately captivated by the sweetness of the melody. On my next call I was hoping that the telephone is not picked up quickly so I get chance to hear this song little longer. Words didn’t matter when it comes to music . Few more calls and I had to ask the reciever about the singer and all I got was ‘chitra’. It wasn't that difficult to listen to the music but it did take some efforts to secure lyrics and meanings.Here is Chitra's rendition.
krishna nee bEganE baarO (Krishna! Soon You come!)
bEganE baarO mukavannu tOrO (Soon come and show [Your] face.)

kaalaal landhigE gejje niladha baavuli ([With]Anklets on the feet, [and] blue-sapphire bracelets)
nilavarNane naaTya vaaduta baarO ( [O!]Blue-hued One, come dancing. (Krishna! Soon You come!)
krishna nee bEganE baarO (Soon come and show [Your] face.)

Odiyalli Odigejje beraLalli ongura(On the waist, the waistband; on the finger[s],)
koraLalli haakida vajayantimaalE (the ring[s];[and] the neck adorned with the Vaijayanti garland*.)
krishna nee bEganE baarO(Krishna! Soon You come!)

kaasi peeTambara kaiyalli koLalu (Dressed in yellow Kashi [Silk], flute in hand,)
pushida shreegandha mayaOLu gamma gamma (and [with] the anointed sandal scent from the body.)
Krishna nee bEganE baarO(Krishna! Soon You come!)

taayige baayalli jagavannu torida (The One who showed the world in the mouth to the mother)
jagadhOdhaaraka namma uDupi shree Krishna (the upholder of the world! our [own] Udupi Shri Krishna!
krishna nee bEganE baarO(Krishna! Soon You come!)

I understand that verses were written by Vyasaraya Tirtha (1460-1539) but am not aware of the the original composer of this beautiful melody. Various forms of this rendition are sung by Hariharan , Yesu Das and also use of the tune in Colonial Cousins. All are good but not as enchanting as Chitra's. May be I have developed a bias after the short spell of the mobile tune.

10cc gulp and 24 hour high

I never had so much high in such a small dosage. Cough syrups do give you more punch and last more time than any alcoholic drink. I thought Benedryl topped that list till I had Dhasedyl yesterday. The sticker on the plastic bottle said ' Take 10cc three times a day, May cause drowsiness '. I had one dose of 10cc previous night and effects are still lingering. I didnt have courage to take two more doses. I didnt knock out immediately but did sleep well . When I woke up, I was groggy, listless and void of energy. The feeling continued through out the day. By evening I felt ravenous. I kept wondering what's so special about 'Dhasedyl' that uprooted my mental equilibrium. I had to know about this drug that so quickly and efficiently smothered my month old persistant cough and cold within a night but crippled and numbed my alertness and made me feel like a seasoned druggist. As I searched on ' Dhasedyl ' I read about its sideffects and the following experience o

Madhav Julian and Indiver -प्रेमस्वरुप आई and Zindgi Ka Safar

When I hear this poetry of Madhav Julian sung by Lata - my eyeballs swell with a blob - as the poem reaches mid way. A fabulous rendition that seems to have bled through damaged heart of this man. Tears don’t come that easily to me. That prerogative belong to Rajesh Khanna in Hindi movies of Anand Amar Prem and Dharmendra in Satyakam . In this poem too tears don’t come because I miss my mother or think of her from a distant land. This poem resurrects a character who has raised in orphanage and became successful to get all the comforts and accolades that a man can strive for. Yet he has remained empty in his heart without the existence of his mother। He doesnt remember her face as she has left long before she made any imprint on his life. Today is my mother’s birthday and I thought it would be appropriate to write about this poem. There is another song – rather second stanza of the song – penned by Indiver in movie Safar also evokes similar anguish। Here the
