Sripathi Panditaradhyula Balasubrahmanyam...
S.P.Balu..The name sends waves of melody into any music fan's heart !!
First of all...happy b'day baalu garu on ur 63rd b'day :)...(jus belated by a month....hehe.. Actually i've written this on his B'day - june 4th...)
The pic says much abt him..much more than one can expect from a singer's profile..yea jus have a glance..this vocalist took his toll to 40,000 in 40 yrs...
OH..
MY...
GOD !!!
Wat else can we speak abt when we r given such statistics?? Leave the statistics...the world has spoken much abt them..i jus wanted to share a few things..which i felt abt him as a normal person...
I must've been 10 or 11 odd by then...as i remember, my parents used to watch a hindi songs program conducted by some guy..i dont actually remember his name..jus had a google image search on the following...
" hindi songs program in DD in 1990 "
"hindi songs program anchor"
" dd hindi songs program anchor "
the third search gave me the pic..uhh..GOOGLE IS GREAT !!
Well..He's Annu kapoor..
Yea..they used to watch the program....it dint take much time to get addicted..was good to listen contestants trying their best to present those old hindi melodies of kishore kumar, rafi ji and lata ji...But there was a little dissatisfaction in my mind...why not isuch programmes r being made in telugu?? not that i'm not enjoying..but still i miss the nativity of my mother tongue..finally, the day came..
Balu ji ventured the telugu tv screen with "paadutha teeyaga"..the first telugu singing contest on a large scale..i've seen almost all the episodes wid ma mom and dad..We just loved the program...It was a big hit..it discovered many talented singers like Usha, Pardhasaaradhi...and many others...there was no drama..no hypocrisies and no fight for TRP ratings...the program showed sportiveness at its best..
Even today,thr r several programs..but no one as such..today..they cry when ever there is something so called "vote out"...ppl get eliminated...others cry...(And I dont know why..)..even smal children cry..as if their life has ended..(I wonder how they knew that they shud cry)...Goddamn..!! but dont ignore the fact..these new programs dint fail to attract viewers..including me ofcourse !!
The credit goes to Balu for creating such a wonderful program without any hypocrisies and dramas..and ofcourse E-tv too..its their venture to produce the show..they took their chances and had the fruits..
After every episode,Balu used to say a "good word" for that day...some simple things and simple decency that we forget in our so called busy lives..the impact of his words can be real big..as the program has attracted viewers from all sections..
Then..i grew up..started to know more about him..everything was impressive about him..except the rumour that he doesnt let other singers to have a chance...But i had the answer yesterday..in the interview he gave abt his past 63 yrs.jus b4 celerating that number..! "I JUST IGNORE THEM"..he said.."these petty ppl derive much fun in spreading rumours abt ppl at work..they used to do the same when Ghantasala garu was an established singer and i was striving to earn some space for myself.."
The more I knew about him, the more impresses i was...Apart from being a singer , he is one of the best dubbing artists of the industry..No one else can match him in offering voice to kamal hasan and many such stars...How could a person be at his best as a singer, An actor, A dubbing artist all at a same time...and Yet down-to-earth at the same time....Genius is a small word for him...
Speaking abt his other traits..Balu ji never feels ashamed to touch the feet of any elder for their blessings..Once I him bow to take the blessings of Sri Bala Murali Krishna..in the finale of "paadutha teeyaga"..I cannot do that even today..I feel a bit odd even when I bow b4 my parents..it seems weird to me..But he does that without any second thought..he doesn't actually need to do it...now i started thinking..may be blessings have their effects..! ;)
Cant put into fewer words..but i'l try...
His words are simple..yet magical..
His thoughts are simple..yet effective..
He is a Genius..yet hez simple..
