&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I feel I am too young to be judgmental about life and its
ways.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But have seen and experienced changing phases of life
various upheavals and downfalls to assimilate some inferences to form a certain
opinion about LIFE and beyond.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“&lt;i&gt;Silence is the best
mode of communication at times, as the emitter emits what he wants and the
receiver receives what he wants&lt;/i&gt;”.. this prevails harmony amongst the two.&lt;/div&gt;

“&lt;i&gt;Life forms as defined

&lt;i&gt;“The organs of a human

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My amateur
Performances:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At Mathrusri
engineering college&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;The first ever show I performed was at this college of engineering, when I had carried a cassette with 5 song musics minus my voice that is only music tracks. I played the cassette along and sang live. All songs were my own compositions. Couple in english, Hindi and telugu. Later i made quite a lot of friends at the same college and also at the architecture college,JNTU. I used to regularly perform for all get togethers in their colleges.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At thyagaraya gana
sabha – 1991&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I organized a musical show as a fund raising activity for
the Leo club I was heading as a president at that time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
For this show I had composed several own compositions for
which I took the help of Mr.Suresh Babu a keyboard player and requested him to
transport all his sequencer and other gear to the show.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
He played the International track from his gear and I mixed
my voice to it on the stage while performing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
For those days electronic music and programmed drums and
keys was definitely an advanced technology.The show was attended by many
college students and important guests who helped me further in my career.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mrs. Madapati Sarala Rani, Mohd. Jani-minister for minor
industries, Mr.Vamsee Rama Raju&amp;nbsp; and
Mr.Muralidhar, Proprietor of Encode &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;India&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and ad agency.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
All my friends and also members of our leo club, Dr.Rajesh,
Aruna, Rajagopal, Ravi Chandra, Shanti, Nagavalli, Mallinath,Ram Mohan and
others helped me organize and sell the donor passes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My Professional shows:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At Hanmakonda:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In 1996 when the memories of Gulabi were still fresh a group
of three college students approached me with the reference of Madhu Varma that
they wanted to host a musical show of mine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Well I didn’t have a troupe of my own so I requested a
friend of mine Sajid Khan (now more popularly known as GULLU DADA) to organize
the musicians,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The budget was low in the sense keeping in view
transportation of people and equipments.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I always had Micheal as my Idol and wanted to perform like
he does . In that frenzy I asked my friend Ravi Teja to design the stage and
backdrop and he left a week ahead of us.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
With limited resources and time he managed to put up a
decent backdrop using ply,cloth and other materials.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Adarsh supplied the Bins and with a few new singers one of
them my niece sujatha and another aspiring singer rajini, Myself and my elder
brother Pratap and sajid had performed to our best and gave an enthralling
performance.The audience comprised of mostly college students of the warangal
REC,degree and Intermediate colleges.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Packed to an approximate audience of 5000 near the stadium
the crowd was very happy at the end of the show.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The last song I sang was “Ye rojaithe”, and I remember being
shifted into a convoy of cars helped by the police from an overwhelming
appreciating crowd .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The show was attended by the SP of &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;warangal&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; and many other special invitees.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Because of elaborate arrangements of cars, vehicles,
equipment of sound and lighting and instrument players my costs rose to more
than what was charged.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
At the end as the organizers split and avoided my last
instalment this show landed me into a loss making project.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
All I took home with me were sweet memories and happiness
which is more than what money can buy for me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My Private Music Albums:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Christmas carols&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Highly influenced by Remo Fernandes I always wanted to do my
own music,sing,play and write.Also do songs that are inspirational,motivational
and carrying a social message.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
From the pocket money I saved from my last job at Orient
Longman Publishers as a sales executive I wanted to make an album for the new
year eve of 1990.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
On the advice and suggestion of friends at a nearby church
in my neighborhood I took the initiative to record Christmas charols in
English. I spent all my savings on them by hiring a keyboard player,a basist,a
guitarist and choir singers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But the duration was not sufficient to make a cassette on
both sides. So with no budget left to do more songs I wrote 5 songs and
recorded them in my voice at a small studio Vipanchi.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I still remember that it was during the fag end of the year
when the city was under curfew,I had to travel via the LB nagar Ring road on my
scooter during the relaxation hours and reach Basheer bagh, do the recording
and hurry back home before night.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was the only recording my MOM had accompanied me in my
lifetime.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After a few days I had duplicated 200 cassettes of this
album priced at Rs.20/- and started to sell them to every person I was bumping
into. Freinds at the church did help me out a bit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I even had the opportunity to sing and perform these songs
in the Doordarshan and AIR – anwar jahan was the program producer for yuva vani
in those days.They were all quite encouraging.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Telugu Pop songs – &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In my intial days after doing charols I composed&amp;nbsp; a couple of songs in telugu and took the help
of Mrsuresh babu keyboard player to program them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Songs were definitely good in that and after recording them
at Pooja recording studios (pradeep shah ) I took them all in a cassette and
tried my best to release them with the then big time audio companies in telugu
and English.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Having my brother in Mumbai those days I requested him to
try it out with Magna sound.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was a big world and &amp;nbsp;my equation was too small then to strike with
them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Later, the first company I got a chance to present my Telugu
album was CBS gramphone co.I met with the south head Mr.G.V.Atri who of course
was not of much help to release my album but offered the chance to come and
join a pub in Bangalore and keep singing there till I would get a recognition
to be picked up by some company.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Sounded very impractical to me and I continued my trials and
lastly landed up with Leo Audio a telugu audio company, who to my surprise took
the English album and promised to release.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dark Horizon - title
of the album&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Green pastures – a song on pollution , Demise – a song on
drug abuse, Suicide No More&amp;nbsp; etc., &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
But after two months one fine evening when I visited them my
album gets released into the stalls and to my dismay it had title credits of
“Music by Suresh Babu”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One year of struggle and all my savings and hardwork got
this deal to me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However, not getting depressed I continued my trials with my
telugu album and this time it was Lahari audio and it was Mr.Raj kumar the
manager for A.P. I remember going atleast 40 times and several hours of waiting
in vain.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After years of struggling phases I almost did it with Geetha
audio – Mr. Bikshapathi&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After all confirmations, I booked the studio 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;
century and was present for the recording and the great man never turns up and
fails to live up to his commitment.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
As the old saying goes, ‘Everything happens for our good’, I
was going to record my original version of the song ‘EE VELALO’,and imagine the
song had a better fortune awaiting after a couple of years in the film
‘Gulabi’.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
“Here is where I have always learnt one major lesson that
when one door closes many others open”. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tamasha&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
During the days after Gulabi,my friend Madhu ( now more known
as Madhu mantenna producer of Bollywood films) &amp;nbsp;was heading
Varma audio and came up with an ingenious marketing concept of remixing all
telugu old hits with new beat.The album cover had the famous NTR with Urmila
matondkar together which was a major curiosity generator.I have to admit that I
messed up on this album both the music arrangement and sound mixing both and
have made a hopeless album out of it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I deeply apologize to my friend here for my inability to
perform best for his unique marketing idea.However the album did sell good
inspite of the mess up I did.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Newsense&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This album I did to fulfil the promise I gave to Kuchipudi
Venkat who was instrumental in getting me ‘Gulabi’,that I would work on a
musical album for him.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This album had a good melody song I composed in kalyani
raagam titled ‘Oka Letha Ooha’ written by Kacherla Venkat an old&amp;nbsp;friend&amp;nbsp;of mine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However this was not a fantastic journey and nothing great
to remember except that I happened to meet lyric writer ‘Ashok Teja’,who wrote
two songs,’ee prohibition enti ra babu’ &amp;amp; don’t marry be happy’.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It is essential to mention that Venkat did spend months to
explain the song situations to me but unfortunately if he had put the same
effort in picturising them he wouldn’t have ended up making a substandard music
video featuring Ram ( more known as satellite ram in the industry circles).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
For someone who has proven his musical abilities in a film
like gulabi, will be hard to take such disappointments.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However I had no hard feelings as I fulfilled my promise of
handing over a decent musical album to Venkat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Priyanjali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Before I start discussing, I feel, should I be even mentioning this or not.
However,now that I have started I better get over with it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In the year 1996 sometime after I setup my small studio at
ashok nagar,it was a time when I hardly had any film offers I wanted to churn
out a musical pop album and had composed several tunes for it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I happened to title it Priyanjali, songs were also sung by
‘somya’, a &lt;st1:city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Bangalore&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;
based singer &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Who appears in lot of albums of ‘sandeep chowtha’.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Asgar ali wrote the song in hindi ‘eerie eerie’.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It also had a few more nos which appeared to be good at that
point of time to me,maybe not now.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I have used three models to feature the cover page and
designed it quite well. But all that did not help as the songs were
substandard.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The point I am trying to say is that after gulabi, I was not
in the right frame of mind to do good music and it seemed as if I could never
make it happen again.This album was only an outburst of such frustration.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mr.Khan and Uday Bhaskar came from nowhere and offered to
buy this album.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After they bought they couldn’t do anything out of it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One very best composition of my teenage bank of songs was
amongst the songs of this album; which I always regret for having given it
off.&amp;nbsp; ‘O swapna sundari’,is a song very
close to my heart. Hope someday I can take it back and feature it in my future
albums.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dream Girl&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was the first time I picturised a music video in 1998
for this album of mine.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;MO2 – with ayush
released by virgin records &lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
These were the days when I was running my studio at kamalapuri
colony,I came in to see that a Big fat guy was singing some English tunes in
telegu.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After his recording he met me and discussed that he is one
of the directors in ADP,came to &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;India&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;
to record a private album with message oriented songs.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The idea reminded me of my past and I immediately jumped
into it and came up with a concept, ‘KONCHAM SMILE KARO’.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
TELUGU, HINDI AND ENGLISH tracks in one album indicating the
message that a smile costs nothing but can instill pleasantness around in the neighborhood.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Asgar ali(more known as ‘saleem pheku’ of angrez film fame)
wrote the songs and we spent quite a no.of days in making this.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Later Ayush pursued to release this album with Virgin
Records and that was the time when ‘Shamir Tandon’, was heading the division .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Ayush spent a bomb in making two music videos and release it
through Virgin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It played on the MTV &amp;amp; VTV and a couple of other
channels for a very brief period.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It somehow served his purpose but nothing much to me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt;&quot;&gt;There is a lot more to update in this chapter hope to
do it on a later date.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
My first tryst with commercial music started in a studio called Vani Darshan opposite Public garden, nampally,&lt;place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;city w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Hyderabad&lt;/city&gt;&lt;/place&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I met Mr.Azaad, who wanted me to tune a jingle for a radio ad for ECTV. This was for a &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Reputed ad agency I jumped into it right away and using a small casio CT series which had a very complicated step sequencing function, I tuned three options and it was right away accepted by all. Mr.chandrasekhar and mr.Kashyap were the account managers at that time in RKswamy agency who interacted for quite a few jingles after. Sad that Kashyap is no more with us now and my prayers for his soul to rest in peace.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Azaad was just not a client but became a good friend and well wisher over the years.Through him I met Ms.Sathyavathi, Mr.Venkat and many others for whom I composed several Jingles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Much later in the year 1994 two marketing executives, Preeta and one more girl ( pardon me for my bad memory) working with Times radio helped me get the order for composing the jingles of “Padmini Fans” of Sujana Industries.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was a turning point in my career,I had recorded this jingle in Mumbai with the help of my writer friend Mr.Manohar Iyer (my brothers collegue ) in Kumar sanu’s&amp;nbsp;studio at Juhu .The engineer’s name was also Sanu who later recorded the songs of my second film “Warning” in telugu.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After Padmini jingle there was a lull for a long time as not many agencies locally appreciated my way of working and my budgets. My budgets were way above their expectations and it took time for me to reestablish in this segment and find appropriate clientle.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
When agencies were not favourable; I floated my own agency “Eldritch communications” and started approaching companies directly for advertising jingles and other allied works.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
An old friend Krishna Mohan&amp;nbsp; who was an art director and colleague in an agency, I used to work before came along and joined hands to help me out in designs and printing too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So we started of as a team and went on to do quite a no of assignments of printing,jingles and offer other creative services.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Though I could not make it a big and happening agency, we worked for local firms like Linkwell tech, A tools company, Ampro, Amrutanjan Ltd,a couple of schools etc and it was good enough for us in those times.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mr.Prakash who owned a DTP centre and Mr.Bapineedu of Kalajyothi press were amongst those who extended their support for our business.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I then scored music for Tata Rallis Agro and a few more till again Sujana Industries had a new product launch for which they asked me to score music for 7 fashion sequences launching each of their product range.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was a typical work of fusion,trans,techno etc genres which are my core areas of interest and passion.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I did experimental mixes of sitar and techno music reflections of which appear in my later works of the film Gulabi too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I always liked to mix the “chaati”, that is the high notes of the tabla in echoing frequencies with trans swells and pads.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Occasional flute with a lot of unending reverb were my choices.The music however brought Rasool Ellore and Venkat Kuchipudi to me Who were instrumental in getting me to meet Film Director,Krishna Vamsi later.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Before Gulabi happened I made another adventurous leap into the world of computer animation which was way ahead of times then.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I ventured to buy a 2lakh worth “Amiga Commodore” and using dpaint and other softwares like scala Myself,Krishna mohan,Kishore and ravi teja have worked 30 days and nights to churn out a decent animation episode of 18mts titled “Adivilo Allari”, for a Producer by name Venkat ram reddy meant to be telecast for DDK.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Every frame was literally drawn using the mouse and a paint software to color it. These were times when we still had the 386 pentium in the markets in &lt;place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;country-region w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;India&lt;/country-region&gt;&lt;/place&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However, the project couldn’t see the light because of other commercial terms not working out between us and the investors.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So not knowing, what to do next and how to recover the capital invested on the system I tried my best in initiating animation requirements for various institutions including the Birla science Planetarium too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However, most of those proposals were in vain and I was stuck with the system and my investment on it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was kind on the part of Mr.Chandrasekhar ,manager of Andhra bank and a friend Mr.Kishore Singh to have advised me to obtain financial assistance from the institutions for my computer systems.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Later the agency fragmented after my entering into films and I continued to do Jingles as an individual.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This is when I met Mr.Bhanu Prasad an independent Ad film maker and his wife Ms.Kalyani a copy writer with whom I happened to do several Jingles starting with our first client Richimen Silks and then to add up to our list were Durga Ghee, Shakthi gas, Super Gas, Lawrence and Mayo,Yashoda hospital,J.C.Bros,R.S.Bros,Swastik masale,deepika leasing &amp;amp; finance,Relaxwell etc.,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Late.Mr.Arjunan of matchline studios, Ajith, Vijay, Allani Sridhar, Madhumahankali,Mr.shrinivas Iyer &amp;amp; Annapurni , Mr.Mani shankar are some of the other film makers who used to frequently approach me for their Jingle Music requirements mostly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Below is the list of some of the jingles I remember to have done&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt;&quot;&gt;There is a lot more to update in this chapter hope to do it on a later date.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Gulabi (the movie in Telugu). Starring: J.D.Chakravarty, Maheshwari.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was somewhere in the month of February 1995 that one fine
day a friend and aspiring director Venkat had come along with his choreographer
friend Rasool ellore to my office cum residence.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
They were suggesting that I should be doing music for films
and they exactly have the right film coming up for me and said one of their
friend vamsi would be directing it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I was absolutely raw and new to film music industry and
hardly new only a few names but for seeing an array of chiranjeevi films in childhood I
was not aware of the Various stalwarts of the then Telugu Film Industry.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One fine day a young guy came up to meet me and said he was
Krishna Vamsi and said he liked my samples given to him by rasool.He then asked whether I, would be interested to work on a film in telugu. Obviously, I said fine but
when I said that I hardly knew the magnitude of the person who approached me
and the size of the project it would be.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
It was about 11 am as far as my remembrance goes when he
started narrating the story in detail.By the time he finished it was
afternoon,quite gripping and fresh was the story line and I asked what should I
be doing for this.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
He then cited four song sequences of the film and wanted me
to start on the hardest of them all..&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The hero is stabbed in his stomach and he is subconscious
with the memories of his girl friend fragmenting in his sub conscious levels
and he barely knows that someone is putting him into an auto and helping him
away….&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Vamsi said he wanted an absolute vaccum, emptiness inside
and a sudden shock of losing ground under the feet.This was his explanation for the tune.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Quite hard it was for someone like me who always tried only
my kind of music and never custom designed tunes for situations and emotions
beyond my understanding and experience.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I checked with him again for more clarity and he gave a tip
of getting such feelings. He said, when we travel in a lift or a sudden dip in the road, we feel emptiness in the stomach…&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I started to travel and experience it… I remember this when
I was traveling in Banjara hills road no 2.. opposite KBR park and a couple of
other places and one fine evening I sat and decoded the whole feeling by
breaking it into something that cuts our stomach like a drone of the double base
or cello the one I used to start the song “YE ROJAITHE”, then some memories
fragmenting like those bells ringing and as some starts to help him the story
starts playing the notes on the piano .. ting ting ting ting ting ting ting
ting ting … the rhythm is just very symbolic to the heart beat with the base
kik hitting once and twice …well that was the first song I have ever composed .I
remember vamsi and JD chakri coming and listening to the tune at 1 am in the
morning and they all liked it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So that was the start for my first film album “GULABI”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One fine morning we all landed up in Ramanaidu Film Labs
where they had just installed the digital audio recording theatre and
Madhusudan Reddy was the audio engineer who just came in to work from
Kodandapani studios in chennai. He too was absolutely a novice at that time. It
looked as though the whole team was&amp;nbsp;young, new, aspiring and ready to give in their best.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So ones the tune was recorded after a few days vamsi broke
the news of &amp;nbsp;the project being produced
by RGV.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However, I was half way through my composing but it
definitely boosted the spirits and helped in being more cautious and alert.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The hardest of all was the song, “Meghalalo”,for which I
remember doing fourteen variations before I hit on the final one.I did this
song on my “Amiga commodore” system using Octamed software for programming.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
For the first song that is “Yerojaithe” I used my Yamaha
QY10 sequencer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Except the song MEGHALALO all the other songs were only
single tunes I composed which were right in the first instance.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After a long while in between the shooting schedules Vamsi
felt that all songs are male voice dominated and he felt like having a female
solo in the film… he then picked a song from the samples I gave him before to
rassol.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was a song I had composed years back probably in the
year 1991/92 when I was traveling in an APSRTC Bus, but I rightly remember the
place when I struck on the tune, it was opposite TV tower moosrambagh just
before disembarking the bus at Dilsukhnagar depot.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The song I comsposed was, “Sampangela neevu virisaavu na
kosam”.Now try singing these lyrics in the tune of “ee velalo neevu em chesthu
vuntaavu” as written in the film Gulabi by Sirivennela Seetarama sastri.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
On the sets of gulabi I happened to meet a galore of
artistes and technicians out of which those who were close to me were Cherry(
one of the Producers of the recentYAMAGOLA),&amp;nbsp;
Subbaraju garu ( brother in law of RGV),Raju &amp;amp; Praveen ( who later
started their production banner RPG).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
One of them became a very close friend
whom I have not mentioned above is Madhu Varma who off late has been part
producer of the film Gajini with Amir Khan in Bollywood.My association with Madhu has been long and there were quite
a number of instances when he was closely involved in many of my next projects.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;If I were to write I
could end up writing volumes of Gulabi itself but to keep it short There are
definitely some important things about it that I have to share with you&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Specially when I had to mix the songs with Vocalists, It was
a great day with Hari Haran, Suchitra Krishna murthy, Suresh Peters, Gaytri
Iyer , Nagur babu ( Mano). &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Quite a few more singers were tried out for the songs
amongst which I have to mention the names of Music director SREE who was &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:state w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;ind&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; enough to record his
voice too for the song “ee velalo neevu”, before we finalized the song in the
voice of a novice singer then that is Sunita. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
There were two voices which engineer madhu had recommended
to me and vamsi to try from local talent and made us here the samples and I
chose sunita who sounded better amongst the two. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
A full day of recording the song had given us exactly what
it required for the song. The song has another peculiar trait that is the
instrument flute which was played by an upcoming artiste Nagraj quite
fabulously.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
This was the first film song recorded by sunita&amp;nbsp;and it stood strong over the years as a remarkable melody in
tollywood. Thanx to vamsi to pick this song from my bank and also thanx to
suneeta for rendering her melodious voice and special thanks to Sastry garu for such simple yet effective lyric.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;My first meeting with
RGV&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
After all the songs were recorded at Hyderabad the songs
definitely sounded good but not great as I had few resources to deploy in the
very minimal budget vamsi offered me to prove my abilities. Then one day I was
informed to meet the Boss.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
The time given was 11am, I was always my usual being late
but somehow the very first meeting meant a lot and I ensured that I was 5 mts
before the given time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Bang on Look who was there RGV himself in his Punjagutta
House absolutely casual and calm as he seemed to start of the conversation
without wasting any time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
His first question was to me, The tunes are very strong then
why is the orchestration letting it down..is there something you could do to
it?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Well my immediate reaction, Please give me a decent budget
and freedom and I shall do justice.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
He gave me full freedom and said “no limitation on budget as
I want the best and with this album I would be launching varma audio company
too.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
So it was a challenge for me and I took it up.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
However this move helped me to work best on the music but in
the bargain I had severed my relations with Vamsi to some extent and a couple
of other Unit members. This is my observation as far as my practical experience
goes that probably I had bypassed certain protocols and have not conferred with
the director before voicing my opinion to the Boss.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Whatever the differences I took it optimistically and hope
the same happened on both ends before we met up for the Background music of the
film again.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Background Music&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;I am yet to write on this one. It is interesting and one of the best experiences which I have to share with you all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
