Poojisalende HoogaLa Thande

I attempted this melodious and challenging song of S.Janaki that I have been wanting to sing for a long time. This song is composed by Rajan-Nagendra, brilliant music director brothers from the South. For those of you that are unfamiliar with these names, they are an amazing pair of musicians who gave hit scores for more than 370 films, mostly in Kannada and some in Telugu. Some of their songs I love in Kannada include "baanallu neene bhuviyallu neene", “jeeva veene”, "endhendhu ninnenu marethu", "kanasalu neene", “ninna nanna manavu”, “aakaashadhindha” to name just a few. There will not be a Telugu person who is not familiar with melodious numbers like "sirimalle neeve virijallu kaave", "maanasa veeNa madhu geetham", "nee daya raadha" and "manaserigina vaaDu maa devuDu". S.Janaki did a marvelous job in this song. She is an extremely talented and versatile singer, it is very hard to sing her songs and then justify, her vocal range and expressions are simply mind blowing. Yet, there are some of her songs that are so tempting for me to try and sing and this is one of them :) So, here it is, my humble attempt at "Poojisalendhe hoogaLa thande.." meaning "to worship you, here I bring the flowers ..seeking your darshan.. I stand waiting....open the doors...o Rama...open the doors.. " Your comments and feedback are as always very much appreciated. Thank you!
