Music Apps - treat your hearing sense

Here is the era of music and songs through apps. Gone are the days of tapes and discs. Until recent years it was mp3 songs but with the advent of unlimited internet its music streaming. New songs are released in one of these apps. 
When this concept of music apps came in being it felt ambiguous with the numerous mp3 files lying in the system storage. Once you start using a music app you'll get the feeler of it and start falling for this app.  Their websites are available when you are listening to music via a desktop or laptop and install apps while on the smart phones. All these play the local music or mp3 songs stored in our smart phones.
Its free to listen to these songs with high speed network. To download your favourite songs or to listen to songs ad-free one will need to make the payment. There is option to go with monthly or yearly payment. Also coupons are available on other online purchases to make the required payment.

Lets see in detail some of these Indian music apps at our beck and call,

Gaana: Huge collection of English, Tamil and Hindi songs. Website has ads running along but vanishes on making payment. But download of songs is available only on mobile apps. Radio of various artist are found, mainly vintage. Latest songs appear as and when they are released. Navigation through songs is easy. While listening to a song one can go that album and breeze through all other songs, also singer of a song opens the gate to all songs of that singer. Some of the rare gems can be browsed through. Search option is quiet fast and helps get our songs in a go. Interesting playlists are accessible like the one on K.Balachander. In house audios on meditation, retro songs and unreleases songs by Shankar Mahadevan are add-ons.
Saavn: With the merger of Jio music its now Jio Saavn but Jio users don't get it for free. Till one makes the payment one has got to listen to audio Ads in between songs. Most new releases find a place here. Also it has the best collection of music legends like M.S.Subbulakshmi. The in house audio treats are in the form of Anupama and Rajeev's talk on movie and Neha Dupia's interviews. In tamil, Ilayaraja's different playlists are a joy to listen to. Artist radio offers a whole range of songs of each of them. Top songs list is hand picked. This is costlier then Gaana app.
Wynk: This app leans on airtel for payment either from pre-paid or on post paid billing. Simple app with faster search through collection of songs. No in house programs. Retro hits related playlists are of great selection. International music is of wide variety; top songs from US and UK are exclusive. Importance to music instruments is given through sounds of India. This remains ad-free. Kids collection is a treat. Apt for iTunes. 

Keep listening to music...

Anjaneyar Temple - Gerugambakkam, Porur

 Very recently we came to know about the Anjaneyar temple built by actor Arjun is at Gerugambakkam. On a Sunday evening we drove towards this place. We need to detour from the Kundrathur main road to reach this temple and from then on we need to face a rough and patchy road. In just 5 minutes one can reach the temple. A small residential street leads to the temple. Very near it one could see few small stalls mushroomed up to sell pooja items. The vehicles have to be parked in the street near the temple gates. First is the corridor were few trees are seen.  On taking left is the entrance to the temple and you can see the Lord Anjaneyar much ahead. Here too are few trees uniformly spaced out. There is a coconut farm adjacent to this temple. There is a shelter above Lord Anjaneyar, but for that it is a open air temple. Facing Lord Anjaneyar and to the left and right corner are two shrines - one for Lord Ganesh and the other for Lord Anjaneyar's - Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana and God...

Beach - Marakkanam

Born in the coastal area one realises the beauty of the beach only in instances where you have to stay away from your place for a long time or a person from non-coastal area appreciates the beach and call you lucky for coastal nativity. When Tsunami occurred, we are sure no one wanted to live in a coastal region. Having said that, over the weekend we went on a drive while resulted in experiencing the beach, back waters and the canal in Marakanam, roughly 120 kms from Chennai and 20 kms from Puducherry. Suddenly on a Saturday morning we decided to make a short trip to Marakanam where our friend has a farm house and called us in for a visit. After completing the weekend chores and a quick lunch, we started the drive towards Marakanam. We took the Chennai by-pass route to Vandaloor and then to ECR, crossing Mahabalipuram to reach the small town of Marakanam within 2 hrs. Numerous prawn Hatcheries in this place occupy the seashore. There seems to be around 53  Hatcheries in this stretc...

Dhandayuthapani Temple - Nadupalani

 Nadu Palani Murugan Temple - Achirupakkam  On a Saturday we decided to go out on a short trip and zeroed-in on Nadu Palani Murugan Temple. Less than 100 kms from Chennai, this was a long time item in the bucket list.  Achirupakkam town is where this temple is located. Achirupakkam is near Melmaruvathur. We took the Chengalpet route via Tambaram. Driving through Chromepet, Tambaram and Perungalathur was a mayhem on the Saturday afternoon traffic. We took a break at Manoj Bhavan at Mamandur. Hotel has lost the earlier charm and so was the food. As guided by a person near the hotel, just in 15 kms you can see an arch at the left side on the highway itself for Nadu Palani Murugan temple. From the arch, one has to drive into the village for 6-7 kms to reach the temple, at Perukkarani village. We had to take a ticket of Rs.50 to drive in the car to the small hillock. Around 100 steps, its a easy climb too. At the foot hill are Lord Anjaneyar and Lord Idumban on either sides fo...
