Ellarum Sindhu Bhairavi ketrukom but this one's redefined in a new avatar.
Absolutely brilliant composition by Navneeth Sundar with out of the world singing by Sathyaprakash Dharmar , the violin by Embar Kannan literally talks and just no words for the precision in the percussion.
Completely insane composition from start to end. Call it gobsmacking or jaw dropping or whatever , this is the most Thaaru Maaru Sindhu Bhairavi Thillana ever.

Barbequed at Barbeque Nation !!
This is a place where you can eat till you drop. Its their starters which pack a punch and you are served an overdose of them which keeps getting refilled like an avalanche as you keep polishing. The barbeque's taste awesome and seldom go wrong tempered with the right blend of juice , texture and tenderness. This is a place where you get the best of both worlds - veg and non veg. The veg afficianados are always guaranteed of a Paneer , Mushroom , Aloo , Corn etc and likewise the non veg lovers get their share of Chicken , Fish , Lamb and Prawn.
If you have to mention one signature starter which stands out - its the Cajun spiced Potato. Infact i like coming here just to gorge on this Caribean style melting potatoes floating over a simmering creamy gravy which just wallows in your mouth making your taste buds to crave for more and more. This item is unique and have never tasted something like this anywhere else. Interestingly , this is the only really liquidy thingy amongst all the starters.
In Barbeque nation , it is the starters which stake claim for being the main course and the real so called main course occupies a distant secondary position. To be frank , atleast 80% of your meal will be consumed on just relishing the barbeque's and the rest barring the starters just make up for the remaining numbers. That said they have quite an elaborate spread consisting of soup , roti , rice , salad and a plethora of curries and desserts. I usually find the curries having the same ingredients as those of the starters where you get your quintessential paneer/mushroom gravy , aloo curry etc. You never really get to do justice to this portion of the meal due to the over indulgence in consuming the Barbeque's. From what little I have tasted would say it just borders along the decent and nothing really great to write home about.
Coming to the ambience , you feel a lot of brownness all over perhaps adhering to the Barbeques which are also more or less Brown in colour. :) Lots of brown colored brick walls and brown seats converge the surroundings. The chairs are a little uncomfortable and it would be good if they raise the height a wee bit. This is a place where you cannot expect to have a quite meal and its more ideal to visit as a group. Its a bit noisy and added to that is the loud english music playing along.
The service is excellent and really quick and rest assured you will be taken care of all your needs. The barbeques were refreshed promptly and never felt the need to request for anything particular. Here their ideology is Customer is King. Found this really impressive as they are always overcrowded and yet they strive hard to serve each and every customer to the best of their ability. The prices are little on the higher side. I remember paying only half the rate when i used to frequent a couple of years ago.
Despite the minor shortcomings , they have managed to keep their fan base intact and only enlarge it over a period of time and the popularity they command stands a true testimony to the quality of food and service of this restaurant.

Dheem Dheem Eargasm!
I have lost count of the number of times I have replayed this track in the last couple of days. Complete eargasm !!
Raaga Bhatiyar at its effervescent best bringing out the real beauty of this raag and the usage of the leapfrogging Dhaivatam as one of the pivotal note adds such a vibrant spark. The violin portions by Embar Kannan are just mindblowing transcending across octaves and those subtle illuppus just caresses and Deepika Varadarajan brings vigour and life to the composition through her resplendent rendition , the flow in the voice while singing swaras and the stress at the crucial Dheem portions radiates and the mellow percussion throughout the song adds such a nice touch. Great job Prithvi Chandrasekhar for producing this wonderful composition and the ambience at Krimson Avenue Studios adds to the awesomeness. Everything in this song is such a win.
Just too much of soul ingrained all over !!
