Violin – One instrument that has been a wonder for me all through my life. Right from its appearance to the wonders it does when played; I love everything about a violin.It is one of the few instruments that can speak on its own. Yes, a good musician can make a Violin speak for itself. And it can adapt itself to any form of music, a rare kind of flexibility which not many instruments have. Also it makes the orchestration rich with its presence. I have wondered many times, how a concert with very few instruments gets a rich feel with the inclusion of Violin in it.
I have listened to all forms of music from Violin right from Carnatic classical(Lalgudi Jayaraman, Kanyakumari) to fusion(Ganesh-Kumaresh, Lalitha-Nandhini, L Subramaniam) to light music(Kunnakudi Vaidhyanadhan, compositions of Ilayaraja) to Western(Vanessa Mae)… It gives me a great pleasure, happiness and feelings that cannot be expressed in words when I listen to a Violin.. It makes me forget all worries.
I missed a golden chance of learning a Violin once in my life. Now, I wish that I could learn to play it one day in my life.

Iam not so inclined to music of carnatic sort. But, i know a string instrument which is very close to violin.. I remember I had played it for long But, its broken now..
yeah i am not very inclined towards carnatic , but ilayaraja's use of violin has kinda forced me to listen more of violin .
