I enjoy singing just as a hobby and never had any formal training so far. I often make mistakes when I sing - be it missing lyrics, wrong pronunciation or going out of tune. So please feel free to correct me wherever necessary and any suggestions from you are always welcome, so I can improve :)
Sang these songs yesterday evening in my caravan, hope you'll like them :)

Check out these practice songs which I've recorded yesterday! :) Not long now before I put my caravan in a storage/park it in a garage and move into a nice warm n comfy house, so wanted to record some songs before I leave my summer home :)
Here's Sai Charan Unplugged... for you, live from his caravan ;) All videos were recorded using my iphone, I've placed the phone in one of the cupboards :) Choose HD format to enjoy the video exactly how it was recorded.
Hope you'll like my practice versions, please let me know your views in the comments column :)
Last weekend I was practicing Sonu Nigam's songs and this time, I choose to sing two of Shaan's most popular numbers. The first thing you'll notice when you listen to the Saawariya song below is that I sang it as "meri nainon se" instead of "mere nainon se" lol ;) I've only realised about it later.
On most occasions, I try and pronounce the lyrics correctly but sometimes, mistakes do happen. Especially if you have not spoken the language since the last 5 years. Yes, I am talking about Hindi. I love and respect Hindi cause it's my national language but as my mother tongue is Telugu, I use Telugu to communicate with my family and since I moved to UK, I've been using English all the time, so need to get back to the basics of Hindi :)
And below is Tanha Dil, I used to sing this song all the time while I was in school!!! Couldn't find the karaoke version for this song on the net, so sang it without music!!
Hope you liked listening to my practice, I believe that I can definitely sing them better if I practice regularly!!
Thank you so much for all your kind warm wishes I will reply to each and every one of your comments individually as soon as I get the opportunity. Yes my parents are now in my caravan after successfully finishing their 14 day trip travelling across Europe and they really enjoyed their trip!! :) Been raining since the last two days and we didn't really do much, was quiet. But I like to share some photos from my last weekend's happy moments - a birthday party which had karaoke singing and a BBQ party!!
Find them below, click on any photo to view as slideshow.
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.
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! :)
