నను బ్రోవమని చెప్పవే


నను బ్రోవమని చెప్పవే సీతమ్మ తల్లి

నను బ్రోవమని చెప్పవే

నను బ్రోవమని చెప్పు నారి శిరోమణి

జనకునీ కూతురా జనని జానకమ్మ ..నను బ్రోవమని

ప్రక్కను చేరి చెక్కిలి నొక్కుచ్చు

చక్కగ మరుకేళి చొక్కి ఉండెడు వేళ ..నను బ్రోవమని

అద్రీజా వినుతుడు భద్రాగిరిశుడు

నిద్ర మెల్కొను వేళ నెలతరో బొధించి ..నను బ్రోవమని

Quotes

To me the very essence of education is concentration of mind, not the collecting of facts.

Truth is my god,universe is my country.

Lessons learned easily are soon forgotten.

The first step to knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

---- Vivekananda


The most complex things are the simplest.


All good things comes in small packages.


Be nice to people on your way up because you might meet 'em on your way down.

Sometimes silence is not golden--just yellow.

Thayee Yashodaa (తాయే యశోదా)

తాయే యశోదా original song was written and composed by OotukkaaDu VenkaTasubbaiyyar.But this Fusion version of thaye yashoda is from the film "Morning Raaga" and the composition by
Manisharma.There is so much love in the lyrics when he describes the various antics of Sri Krishna. Some of the finest poetry has been composed in describing the playful young Krishna as well as the romantic Krishna . Sudha Ragunathan has rendered this song very skillfully and the music is simply brilliant. The song is not sung entirely but it is remarkably beautiful. Most of the song is filled with swaras and I find that so captivating.
Do check the Vidoe and audio of the song.You can get the lyrics of orginal song here.
