Hope you guys find it as much amusing as we did :), nice and creative sync spoof of jalsa.

I was looking for new ways to promote our Sai Baba Videos and Album of “Antha Sai” and I ran into the facebook application developers section somehow.

I decided to give it a shot and man.. it is such a drudgery!

First of all, you get all your options right on this real long form with a real small font, then you need atleast 5 people to even submit the application to the directory to make it work !!

Then, at that precise point of time when you think its all through and you are going to see your results, they will put you on hold for eternity to review your application and make it active!!

Till then, you have to pray and hope that 5 of your friends would be blind to the “application not working ” errors, trust you with their data even though the application itself not working and add it to their list of ever-growing applications!!

I clearly think this process of adding applications to facebook can me improved to provide much better services to coders and developers.

My dad and I talked and dreamt about a Shirdi Sai Baba Devotional Album for some long time until our Sai Album finally came out in December 2007.

I was partly angry and partly frustrated that we could not do it sooner and that it took us so long to get it right. All my anger & emotions just flew out the window when I heard the song ‘Dhyaname’ at our recording studios in Hyderabad though! Our dream of a Shirdi Sai Baba devotional Album is now real ! It was just an amazing feeling and I am really thankful that I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with someone as talented as my dad’s younger brother, Sri Krishna, an upcoming music composer who scored the soundtrack for Athili Sathibabu LKG. He is slated to work on a second movie with EVV, a famous Tollywood director known for his tongue-in-cheek comedies. I hope he grows to be a successful music director and makes many more such wonderful Shirdi Sai Baba devotional Albums.

We finally named our Shirdi Sai Baba Devotional Album - ‘Antha Sai’, after a lot of back and forth. The devotional album was like my own baby, and I had to get the name right! ..May be, A little neglected in terms of marketing and promotions but every bit loved and cherished. I personally appreciated the way they mixed ‘Dhyaname’ (Track #4) in this Album. Another piece of good work was the racy track was ‘Mahadeva’. Hemachandra really brought out the best of this song and sang his heart out here.

I hope we get a chance to do a few more good albums to help promote the rich talent pool of singers originating from Telugu Nadu, while we earn a good name as a music production house.

Most of you know about the release of our Sai Album that won rare reviews all over the US Internet and is now gearing towards an even bigger release in India !

I am both proud and happy to be part of the team that successfully delivered such a high quality product in such a short span of time and is now receiving offers and requests to do a few more of the same.

To add to our bundle of Joy, our efforts to get ‘Antha Sai Album’ up on iTunes are also successful and now you can digitally download us at one of 14 locations across the Internet. An entire list of online stores where our product is available may be found at:

We have provided direct links to all these online stores on our website to make it easier for you to get our Album in the format and store of your choice and convenience.

Thanks to all the crew, Music director SriKrishna and most of all, our coveted audience for appreciating our work. Thanks for giving it such a good review !

The new song krazzy from the movie Krazzy 4, an item song by shahrukh khan where he dresses up like MJ is creating waves. Everybody seems to be going krazzy, especially the kids! But only few of them understood the lyrics. So, for those who want to rhyme along, here are the lyrics.

The lyrics are written by Asif Ali Beg & Javed Akhtar. The music is composed by Rajesh Roshan. I guess the singer is Vishal Dadlani.

psst! you are welcome to correct if any mistakes in the lyrics

Tar Zameen Par, the title song in Ameer Khan’s home production venture (’Tar Zameen Par’) is one of my favorite songs for 2007. I like it for its authenticity, simple style and the depth of its lyrics. Here are the lyrics for Tare Zameen Par, (not sure who penned them - Prasoon Joshi??).

Dekho inhein yeh hai onss ki boodein
Patto ki goodh mein aasmaan se khude
Angdai le phir karwat badal kar
Nazuk se moti hasde phishal kar
Kho na jayee yeh
Taare Zameen par […]

We spent the new years’ eve at Sandadi 2008 listening to live Telugu Music from the new & happening band - Aavakai.

They are also known as “drumstix” in the non-telugu speaking community and produce live entertainment shows and concerts in Telugu and Hindi. Surya & Sushmitha, the founders of Aavakai, are good friends of ours. Surya is the talented musician that tied the band together while Sushmitha manages their rather large group of talented musicians.

The response for Sandadi 2008 was tremendous but the place was a little too crammed for 500+ people. But what would you do when you are only on your second show as a band and are already sold out completely ? You try and deliver your best. And that is what Aavakai did. They chose a wide variety of Telugu songs and tried to reach out to the whole Audience.

Dinner and drinks were served at the Sandadi 2008 venue as well. The Food from Peacock India was good. All in all, the Audience seemed to have a blast at Sandadi 2008 and were up on their feet through out the event.

We enjoyed the electric ambience of Sandadi 2008 as much as everybody but felt that the true musical depth of this band has not been presented last night. To be honest, I liked their debut better than Sandadi 2008 , the New Year event. I hope they will continue to improvise, perform, enthuse and enthrall the bay area audience going into 2008 and for many more years to come.
