Practice Cover of Go Gentle Song...

This is just a practice of Robbie Williams song, "Go Gentle...", you're gonna notice how I went out of tune at quite a few places, but hope you'll like it.

Original Song by Robbie:

In the video, you'll notice that I was freezing in the cold, it was 4 degrees and as soon as I finished the song, I ran indoors, made some warm soup and enjoyed it!!! :)

Choose "720p" for better viewing experience:



Hope you enjoyed the song!! :)

Have a great week my friends, will catch you later!!! :)

Enjoy!!! :)

A Tribute to Kishore Da - Phoolon Ke Rangse

So, here is the first song among the 4 which I recorded yesterday! The best thing about singing classics is - you enjoy the tune/music and also the feel the emotion, beauty and the meaning of lyrics.

The video was recorded using an iPhone 6. Choose "720p" in the settings, for a better viewing experience!

Below is the video from the film "Prem Pujari", one of Kishore Da's most popular songs featuring Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman. Music by S.D.Burman.

For all my friends who don't understand Hindi, please check the translation of the song here --> Lyrics (scroll down on the page to see the translation)

Note: Please excuse the errors in my tune, lyrics or pronunciation - singing is only a hobby for me and never got a chance to learn music till now. But wish to learn and take up singing as a profession sometime in future.

You must've noticed in the video - how huge the back garden is - well, the video covers only one side of it, if you see all of it - it is like a kinda mini-playground!! It is a large 7 bedroom house, the landlady lives in this same house and she rents other rooms. I enjoy living here cause I spend a lot of time in this huge garden - just lost in nature, writing poems and singing my songs for the trees and grass!! :) I'll plan for an indoor recording next time, cause it was freezing in the garden!!!! 

Hope you enjoyed this song, there are 3 more songs to follow as individual posts - but I'd say - its always good to enjoy one at a time rather than all at once, so keep singing/humming this one until you come across the next! :)

Have a Happy Sunday!! :)

Karaoke Singing in the Garden!!! :)

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!! Today I've enjoyed some karaoke singing in the back garden and recorded few videos, need to upload them to youtube and will share them here as next post!! 

At home, I grew up listening to all my Dad's favourite songs - the classic Hindi filmi geet, sung by legendary singers like Kishore Da, Rafi Saab, Lataji, Mukeshji, Ashaji, etc and I used to sing their hit songs at family gatherings and parties!! Since many years, I've had this desire to sing and record classic songs with karaoke singing as my tribute to the legends. Finally today, I've made a start! :)


Videos will be shared in my next post!!

Enjoy your evening!! :)

Poem: Girls and Flowers...

While writing poems, I often wonder if girls/women are more beautiful than flowers, whether they are more sweeter than flowers - Are they? That question eventually led me into writing the below poem today evening.

Poem: Girls and Flowers...


Her skin delicate, soft as a petal,
Irresistible in every imperfection,


Her fragrance so sweet in every breathe,
Naturally soothing her man with gentleness,


Her soul, sensitive and strong at the same time,
Simplicity and elegance in the right combination,


Well, flowers bloom only once in a lifetime,
But girls bloom every time they smile and laugh...


Love, Charan xx

Inspiring Ikea Ads, Full of Positive Energy! :)

Photo Courtesy: IKEA

There are hundreds or may be thousands of Ikea commercials made individually to suit different countries and cultures across the world. But the teams that make these ads are really amazing, taking imagination used in modern TV commercials to the next level!

Whenever you spot these ads on the telly/youtube, they make you pause from whatever you're doing and give a thought to the brilliant idea hidden behind promoting those products - it's the use of nature's beauty, family bonding, human emotions, fun, etc.


The Joy of Storage!! (it's the latest one on TV now)


Turn around-n-round!!


Motivational Mirror


Small Spaces, Bright Ideas!! 


And now for the real Fun part:


Hilarious!!


Happy Sunday!! :)

Poem: The Dancing Bubble... :)

Started my year 2015 writing this poem. Wrote it first thing in the morning on the new year's day! :)

Poem: The Dancing Bubble... :)


Morning, so bright, so sunny,
Leaves sparkling in shiny dew,


The sky, painted fresh,
With pure translucent blue,


She danced to the butterfly's tune,
Like a feather in gentle breeze,


Her soulful holographic light,
Brought the whole garden alive,


Such is the grace of a soap bubble,
Floating carefree in wind's loving arms...


Love, Charan xx
