Ironical similarity of 2 gentleman chasing sporting dreams!

2 gentleman ironically born on the same day 8th August (though 9 years apart) will be looking to create history around the same time come this Sunday down South of London just about 10 miles from each other in the most hallowed turfs to have ever hosted the sport of cricket and tennis viz Lords and Wimbledon. One will be looking to win his 1st major world title for his country and the other staking claim towards a record enhancing 9th championship at SW19 to etch his name a notch further up in the league of legends. Here's wishing the best to both Kane Williamson of New Zealand and Roger Federer of Switzerland.

Notes : Some extra spicy information about these 2 sporting personalities with regard to their birth particulars and what the stars point out in the horizon
Roger Federer
Switzerland
8th Aug 1981
Vishaka Nakshatra Thula Rasi

Kane Williamson
New Zealand
8th Aug 1990
Satabisha Nakshatra Kumbha Rasi

Incidentally Vishakha and Sadabisha fall in air signs of Libra and Aquarius respectively and both these Nakshatras are said to indicate 'Dharma'. The final will take place when Moon is transiting Moola Nakshatra.

The 9 triangle:
1) The age difference in years between Roger Federer and Kane Williamson is 9 years.
2) The count of Nakshatras from their respective star constellations Vishakha to Satabisha is also 9.
3) The finals takes place in the constellation of Moola which happens to fall in the 9th sign of natural zodiac Sagittarius.
4) Fedex is aiming to win his 9th Wimbledon championship and Kane O his first world cup cricket crown with the difference again being 9.

P.S : Unfortunately it was not to be for both these 2 great achievers. They both came within an inching inkling distance of claiming the crown but nature had other plans unfortunately. Nevertheless they deserve the kudos for their sterling efforts.

Joyous Jotheyali!

Some compositions are simply sheer joy and Jotheyali fondly falls into that exquisite category. It just caresses off in blitzkrieg fashion right from start to finish. The turbo galloping pace does not hinder it from being lardy-dardy which it so crystal clearly is.

Though this song has a version in every regional linguistic, it's the original Kannada version that takes the cake. The lyrics meld so well with the tune and the synchronization is magical. This one's an evergreen timeless classic and makes me reminisce the good ol' Bangalore days when invariably every bus used to hoot this in full blast.

And from a technical perspective, the pallavi largely employs a hitherto unknown janya raga called 'Katyayani’ which is a derivative of Natabhairavi. You would also notice an eerie resemblance to 'Shivaranjani' with just the Dhaivatam being different. However as it takes off, lustre is added in the form of plenty of alien notes which is a signature of IR.

Do also observe the rivetting trills (rapid alternation between adjacent notes) at ’Ooooo Endha Mathadidhe' and charismatic chromatics (three or more consecutive notes played back or forth) gliding along nonchalantly. All in all makes for a thrilling glissading adventure.

I just tried a wild shot at a couple of portions of this song. These are numbers totally beyond my reach but ultimately it's just the bliss of having attempted it. As the saying goes it's 'Nothing but joy' at the end of the day.

Note: From an astrology point of view, if one is interested to know what planetary positions help in playing the veena, I would say Jupiter and Saturn are most important. The reason is because you make you use of the index finger and middle finger a lot to play the instrument. The mount ruling the index finger happens to be Jupiter and the mount ruling the middle finger happens to be Saturn. Ideally both these planets need to connected with the 3rd house which is known for skills, activities performed by the hand. In my own case both Jupiter and Saturn happen to have aspect on my 3rd house of Leo. Strength depends on where these 2 planets are placed and how they are influencing your 3rd house and also not to forget the zodiac sign in which your 3rd house is falling into.
