Shankar Mahadevan - A musical journey

-
In this post, I will be blogging on a legend in the field of music, Shankar Mahadevan.

Shankar Mahadevan was born in Mumbai on 3rd March, 1967 . Since 1997, he has sung outstanding  songs for movies. He is the recipient of three National Film Awards for Best Male Playback Singer.

I became an avid listener of his songs when I was enraptured by his rendering of the song "Unnai Kanaathu" in the movie "Vishwaroopam". Three years later, I had the opportunity to attend his concert at Music Academy, Chennai.

As the concert began, I was enthralled with the lighting and the sound systems. And in came, Shankar Mahadevan. I was inspired by his zeal and the way he kept us engaged throughout that fascinating concert. The highlight in the concert for me was that he sang one of my favourite songs which is Zinda from the movie "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag".

Speaking of Zinda brings me to the music composing trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, consisting of Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendoza. They have composed soundtracks for over fifty movies. Personally, I love their songs and background music scores. Few of the favourite songs are Bum Bum Bole, Slow Motion Angreja and Dil Chahta He. Their songs always have a catchy tune and are soothing to the ears. They are also the recipient of a National Film Award for Best Music Direction for the movie, "Kal Ho Na Ho".

Few reasons why I like Shankar Mahadevan's style of singing is because he brings in lot of emotion into the song. This enhances the song and makes it astonishing to listen to. His voice is amazing and always captures my heart.

I would recommend you to listen to his songs as I am sure you are in for a treat!😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future.

Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
