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 Goddess

Gandikota trip - Day 2 - Belum Caves

 The second day at Gandikota was again a rainy onw with heavy thunders the previous night. Seeing sunrise was ruled out but we set out at 7AM after a quick refreshment. Most of the shops were shut due to power cuts since it's been raining continuously since last night, managed to get mini cup chai for Rs.10 and went to the right of the fort where we could see a different view of the creek. The air-conditioned tent accommodations are also here. Also, adventure sports happen here. The place was shabby due to overnight rains and the tourists had littered the place completely with bottles, glass pieces and food items. This happens in most of the tourist places, unless the visitors take the responsibility to keep the place clean, government cannot help maintaining. As we went through the restaurants nearby, no food was available due to lack of power. So we decided to drive to Jammalamadugu for breakfast. Within 20 mins we reached Jammalamadugu, it was a beautiful morning owing to weathe
