Wish you ALL a very Happy New Year!
A BIG thank you for ur support the past year and hope u will continue to encourage me in my musical journey through the coming months..
Mungaru MaLe .. Which means the first showers of the beautiful rainy season.. The songs from this famous Kannada movie picturised predominantly in beautiful Coorg, have captivated me from the first time I heard them. Thanks to my family in Bangalore, they introduced us to these tunes while some even have them as their ringtones on cell phones! But can’t blame them for that!!! The tunes are just amazing. I have never been so much into Kannada songs as I am now since I lived in Bangalore in the years when music had kind of temporarily left my life and the only songs I’d listen to were the ones MDH would highly recommend...his favorites! The ones that I still listen to are the oldies like Beladingalaagi Baa and Cheluveya Notta Chena which will always remain popular among the kannadigas.
My recent trip to Bangalore, a year after the movie was released; the songs were as popular as it were when I was there a year ago! The songs are a super blend of beautiful lyrics that touch ur heart (Jayant Kaikini..u make us Saraswats proud of u!), melody that totally lifts u up ( Mano Murthy..I search for songs that hv music composed by MM ) and voices that belong to living legends. I have been drawn to 2 songs especially...both by Sonu Nigam. The title song Mungalru Maleye and Anisuthide Yako. The tunes have grown on me so much that when I got hold of the karaoke track of Anisuthide, (Thanks SO much Joe for the track ) , I thought I must sing the Shreya Ghoshal version. Though the tune is the same, the lyrics are different. Just beautiful... Shreya, has made this even special adding her special singing style….and it brings back memories of my drive from Bangalore to Coorg!
Here is my attempt of Aruluthiru Jeevada Gelaya. I hope u like it..
This one is especially for u K!

Wonderful Vidyu! You have done the justice completely to this melody, a successful and great track composed by one of the most accomplished MDs of the recent times-Mano Murthy.
Just a few lines about this humble and excellent person.
We must applaud his skills as a passionate musician who, amidst his status as a successful NRI in the IT field, could also succeed professionally in the music world. he was a discovery in the Kannada Films. He also introduced Ram Prasad another passionate Playback singer in Kannada who is also an NRI.
Many may not be aware that Mano Murthy is also a very accomplished CEO of 3 reasonably big companies running into several Millions of USDs. Media reports say that all these companies have been acquired CISCO and others. He lives in California and does all his music creation in his Studio/Lab at his home. Visits India for Production activities too.
The unique aspect is, he does not take money for his works and has encouraged the movie producers by spending money and creating music as well. He also gained a US degree in composing Film Music

Hi Vidyu,
I don't generally listen to songs in languages I don't understand as to me, lyrics are key. Your voice makes me listen to all your renditions. Amazing!
Best wishes,
Ananya Sharma
This was as beautiful as the original, Vidyu. Add me as your one more fan :-)
Vidyu Avare
Thumba ishtaa aayithu ee nimma haadu! Your impeccable adherence to shruthi is enviable! The way you bring out the bhava in the song is something to learn from!
Please post more Kannada songs!
And thanks a lot for commenting on my song. I feel honoured :)
wow..Very well sung with good feel..Keep singing !
Hi Vidyu,
I loved your rendition of this lovely song...I could not tell which is better, your rendition or the original by Shreya Ghosal....If Mano Murthy hears this, he will want you for his next movie....simply amazing...Can you please send me the Karaoke track for this song?
I am trying to learn this one.
Vidyu, you have an amazing voice and your singing does complete justice to your voice. I can feel how much you enjoyed singing it. You sound very professional...great job.
May I ask you for a favor? I am trying to record this song and havent been able to find the karaoke track anywhere. Would it be possible for you to send it to me at mailpdan@gmail.com? Thankyou very much. God Bless!!
