Sunnyboy.

The 24th Edition

Hi all,

First of all lemme begin by congratulating that our beloved Chief Editor Nagesh Pai and his wife Varsha Pai ( no longer - "soon to be Pai" ;-) ) on their marriage, on behalf of the whole of Radio Idli.

Where as I am expressing this in simple words, someone else wants to do it in better style.
Archana dedicates a lovely romantic song to the newly married couple..




Jab koi arch1_new....





Thanks Archu, I am sure Nagesh and Varsha will cherish it for lifetime.

Bhavya

This seems to be a week of the nightingales. This one is from Bhavya Prabhu of Mangalore, The Princess of Melodies..



Bole re Papi Hara....




Reshma
After the two oriental Nightingales, comes the turn of the Nightingale from the west. Reshma sings out a Basavanna's Vachana. Basavanna was a popular 12th century poet and a spiritual leader from Bijapur, Karnataka, also known to be the originator of Lingayatism.. His Vachanas were simple poems aimed at teaching the public with moral values. Is this Vachana, Basavanna requests his God "Kudalasangama Deva" to treat his own body as a temple, as he does not have the riches to construct a temple for worship like the wealthy do !


Ullavaru Shivaalay...




Sooraj
Some male touch to the edition too ! Sooraj tries out a Yesudas special..


Jab Deep Jale Aana...


Nitin
And to finish it all, the Prabhu brothers Ashwin and Nitin with a Bhajana, Nitin with the voice, Ashwin with the taal..

That's all we have for this edition. Have a great weekend and the week ahead !

Our Seniormost and Respectable Ajja at 99!

Music, like the rhythmic breath of our soul, is eternal.

On his 99th birthday, Radio idli takes great joy in presenting to you the video of Shri S. Krishnaraya Shenoy. He sings to us a great composition of Saint Kanakadasa with his voice and spirits that would make the heavens applaud. WE thank his proud grand-daughter Tejaswini Shenoy, who was happy to share his video with us and share this moment of Joy.

Being a Kannada poet and well versed in English, Tejaswini respects him as her teacher in grammar. Her poem submissions never left her desk without his review and corrections.

Let us all join in wishing Ajja a very happy birthday and seek his blessings.

Click here for Shri S. Krishnaraya Shenoy's Video -

Happy Birthday Ajja!

Regards,
Nagesh and Team Radio Idli

Rang De Basanti..

Dear all,

It's my pleasure to introduce a new Saraswat Konkani drama named "Rang De Basanti". This group of artists, who call themselves "The Young Guns" hail from Bhatkal town of North Canara district of Karnataka.

Bhatkal has been one of the worst communal riot affected areas, this group of enterprising amchis spread the message of peace in our community through Konkani drama.

Radio Idli specially thanks Amit Kamath (amitnc@gmail.com) who took the efforts of getting the videos uploaded and shared with the rest of the Saraswat world through Radio Idli.

Since this drama is lengthy, it will be presented in a series of episodes.

Everything nice begins with a great trailer!! For the introduction episode, please click on Introduction.

For the first episode, please click on Episode1.

I am sure all of you shall enjoy it thoroughly. Keep tuned in for further episodes on the one and only RADIO IDLI..

Ciao,
Sunnyboy.

The 23rd Edition

Hallo Guys...

After a series of late RI editions, I am up early this time, to provide some music to your ears..

Satish
This contribution needs a special mention. But I have no words to describe it. Simply put - Classy, Rich, Soothing and Ecstatic.
Satish Pai from Mumbai gives a public performance, and I present to you the audio clip of this Bhajan..





Kalidas.mp3



Sooraj
Whether it is of concern to them, or it is none of their business, People keep gossiping and commenting. But should one really care?
Do not be surprised, as it is yet another Kishore Kumar special from the Sunnyboy..





Kuch to log kaheng...




Ashwin
Amongst many Stotras recited in GSB household is Shri Vayustuthi. The Golden composition with its soothing effect relieves all the tension and paves way for a serene and spiritual effect across the Vastu. Ashwin Kamath brings a unique effect through the introduction of Tanpura...





Shri vayustuthi.mp...



Reshma
The Nightingale chirps again.. But Who is this Deewana ladka? She claims "paas main jitni jaaoon, woh utni door hi jaaye". To finally pakda kaise? The answer lies somewhere in the distant land of The United States of America.. ;-)





Is Deewane Ladke K...


There's more to come right away. Keep your eyes open for a new series of episodes of a GSB Konkani drama by the "Young Guns" of Bhatkal. So don't go away. Just scroll above. Till next week, bye bye from..

Suniye Suniye.. Announcement !!!

Talk about making it big, someone among us is right there on the path..

Please join me in wishing Amit Savkur the very best in making to the biggest in his singing career !!!

Sunnyboy

The 22nd Edition

Hello there !

Hope you guys had a great weekend. To start the new week on a good note, Sunnyboy presents to you the 22nd edition of Radio Idli.

Now, if you are wondering why me and not Nagesh, lemme tell ya, this is a temporary arrangement for next one month, as Nagesh will be busy going through the wedding preparations, formalities and processes.

Amit

Savkur times are back again. Those who enjoyed his "Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki" will continue to remian engrossed in his late night melodies with "Phir wohi raat hai.."





Phir Wohi Raat Hai...





Archu

"Variety is the spice of life". And if anyone has presented variety to Radio Idli, it is none other than Archana Kamath herself. From the vocal cords hiding behind her 150 Watt smile, Archu presents the item number from Guru..




mayya archemp3.mp3




Suresh

Can even voice and singing be hereditary? If you find this tough to believe, you gotta change your thinking now. Suresh Kamath, Archu's uncle (mhantu) proves it. Tell you what - If Akbar the Great was living in the 21st century, 3 of his 9 gems would have come from Archu's family ;-)



Yeh dil na hota su...



Sanat

There is something special to the name Sanat. Be it the Jayasuriya from the neighbouring island or apna RI waala Sanat, both are good at hitting the big ones. Sanat retains the Karaoke pole position with a Lucky Ali superhit.




kyon.mp3



Reshma

We all have those small dreams and wishes we carried in our minds as kids. The elite few go on to live them. Reshma reminds us of those fiary tale dreams through a beautiful song from Roja. The question is.. Can we live them? My answer would be - YES ! If we BELIEVE, we CAN !

chotisiaasha.mp3


Well, thats all for now. I have a lot of entries stacked up in the queue. But let me hold them back, so that you can enjoy these ones. Be Right Back !!!
