of course, and if I'm not mistaken some song in Lakeer too.

Nice article, Vithur. Unnikrishnan is one of my favorites and it is good to see
that others share the same sort of reaction to his calm yet deep voice and his
immaculate understanding of the context of songs. It does not get any better
than Uyirum Neeye and Narumugaye. Thanks for sharing it.

If a music artist wants to blossom into a full-fledged person, it's not enough

raagas and techniques.
Yes, Sarah Brightman did pick Journey Home from BD for this Middle-eastern
music influenced Harem album after Andre Lloyd Webber, her ex-husband, had
recommended it. ARR, I believe, did not like this version because it was made a
dance track half-way through the song and sounded too
