Here is the very first upload of the year. I know this is little late, but can't help it though since I was on India trip & lot of stuffs had to be done during the short stay. I know you will understand.

Venue: International Labor Organization Auditorium,

Hi Friends

Its been months now I am thinking to sharing some of my programme videos with all of you. However, I could not find time to do so since I was really busy with my concerts & some music collaborations. Now that I am free, at least till the end of the November, so thought of doing it slowly.

This song is my personal favorite & I am really happy to sing it on the occasion of our Independence Day here in Swiss. I have tried to give little of my original inputs in the song. I would like to thank Indian Association of Geneva for giving me this opportunity.

I wish you would all like it.

Mhara ri Giridhar Gopal_Shree

2011-10-31T17:13:00.001+01:00

Hi Friends

Mhara re Giridhar Gopala is a Meera Bhajan close to my heart. I love the song due to the sheer magic of the words & the way its been composed by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar ji in Miyan ki Malhar as far as I guess.

I got know Mr Rajiv Bhave through Muziboo platform through his uploads & his feed back on my uploads. I am really happy that Rajiv ji approched me to sing this song couple of weeks back. I think beside being a very good human being he also has a great taste of music as well. It is all my pleasure to know him through this song. The track & the mixing, all courtesy by him. Thank you Rajeev ji from the bottom of my heart:).
I will appreciate & welcome any feed backs from all of you.

Mhara ri Giridhar Gopal_Shree

Here is the write up from Mr Rajjev Bhave:

I have always been fond of this Meera Bhajan and asked Bijayshree to record it and offered to mix it. The track I had was not the greatest but I tweaked it to be presentable. Shree is extremely talented with a great understanding of Hindustani Classical Music. The lyrics and meaning are:

Mhara re Girdhar Gopal dusara na koiyaa

(I have Girdhar Gopal and none else)

Sadha sakal lok joyaa dusraa naa koiyaa

(I have seen all the people, but there is no one else)

bhaya chadya bandha chadya chadya saaga soyaa

(My family and my relatives abandoned me)

Sadhu sang baith baith lok laaj khoyaa.

(Associating with saint and sages i lost my prestige in the eyes of people)

Mhara re Girdhar Gopal dusara na koi

Bhaghar dekhiyaa raaji hyaa lagat dekhyaa royaa

(Looking at devotees i felt happy, looking worldly people makes me sad)

dudh math ghrut kadh liya dar diya choyaa

(I churned the milk, saved the milk and discarded the remainder)

Rana vish ro pyaalaa bhejiyaa piy magan hoyaa

(Rana sent a bowlfull of poisen, i drank with devotion and felt one with God)

Meera ri lagan lagyaa hod hoj hoyaa

(Meera is attracted towards the divine krihsna, come what may)

Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa - Tamizh Duet Cover by Shreedhar Ganapathy & Bijayshree

2011-09-25T11:45:00.000+02:00

“Music is so important. It changes thinking, it influences everybody, whether they know it or not. Music knows no boundary lines.” -Irving Berlin

For many of us, the lyric of a song is very important for emoting the song’s actual spirit, but there are songs that do not really need any translation, because the music speaks for itself. I remember as a child I was exposed to a variety of music, most of them are in Hindi, Oriya, & Bangla. The first ever Tamil song I actually heard was years back when the original Roja movie released. My cousin brother gifted me the album. I was instantly taken by the melody, the instruments, the vocals, even if I didn’t understand a word of the song. I became a great fan of A R Rehman. Me & my didi used to sing Chinna china asai every now & then without even knowing or caring about the meaning.

Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa is a song very close to my heart. I am so happy to record this one with Mr Shreedhar Ganapathy whom I really respect a lot as a good human being & as a very talented artist. Starting from suggesting a good microphone to taking care of the mixing part, he did it all.

A Big Thank you Shreedharji. It is a wonderful experience working with you.

This song needs no introduction as it is from the great music maestro A R Rehman. However, this is my first Tamil song here at Muziboo.

I will appreciate & welcome any feed back from all of you.

Mr. Shreedhar Ganapathy's thought:

Abouth a month or so ago, our highly talented and gifted vocalist, Dr. Bijayshree Samal (Shree), came up with a great suggestion to do a Tamizh duet, Munbe Vaa, a beautiful romantic song from the Movie Sillunu Oru Kaadhal with Music composed by maestro A R Rahman.

I am delighted to say this turned out to be a memorable experience for us.

Shree brought out the subtle nuances of the song very well with her beautiful voice and expressions. Given that Tamizh is not her mother tongue, I specially felt this was commendable.

I very much enjoyed working with her on this.

Munbe Vaa En Anbe Vaa

Moments that matter!

2011-07-18T03:38:00.005+02:00

Hi Friends

This time, I would like to share with you some of my practice session videos. These are very important to me for very many reasons; the time, I some how manage to steal from my very tightly bound everyday schedule; the friends who come happily for the practice session; the number of times we do the corrections and improvisations; the moments of realization of how little knowledge we possess when it comes to understanding some self claimed easy compositions; the over excitement & enthusiasm after every new composition of self. And, there are end less reasons for why I like these practice sessions!

Most importantly I find myself true, without microphone, without make up & without any mixing after the recording.

With me, Alex is here in this video who came for a practice session in the afternoon. He wanted to lisen it couple of times before he could actually start playing for it. But anyways, Akshaya recorded this as soon as he started playing after his first hearing of the song. My Adi is on the computers to watch his favorite cartoon & in between shouting a bit out of his usual excitement.

Love you all...

By : Bijayashree
Genre: Meera Bhajan

She lived & she died for Krishna. She sang from the core of her heart about her unique spiritual experiences. She was indeed one of the foremost embodiments of Premabhakthi that ever walked on earth.
Meera Bhajans have always been a special attraction for me. The sheer magic & beauty of the lyrics inspires me to sing them whenever I get a chance.

Hi Friends

A Very Happy & Happening New Year 2011 to all of you.
I was down with fever, cough & cold for initial couple of days to start this New Year. So was away from this place for some time. But in the mean time, had the opportunity to interact with some really talented musicians over here in Swiss & India. So I am happy in a way.

I really wanted to record something for the New Year, but couldn’t due to the throat infection. So, Tu Muskura is the very first recording to begin the year 2011. This song is very close to my heart. Gulzarji’s lyrics needs no introduction & again I would say the same for A R Rehmanji. I did keep in my mind, all the advice from all of you regarding the track issues while recording this song, but still not an expert in the matter of recording.
This song is my New Year wish to all of you. Keep smiling wherever you are…

Will love to hear your comments…

Hi Friends

How are you all doing? Christmas holidays must have started for many of you. For me & my family, we are just counting days till this coming Thursday since it is just the last day before our holidays are actually starting. I really need some time to relax and work on so many stuffs which are pending for months now. Before the new year begins one more programme to go on 22nd of this month. No, I am not going to sing this song.

This song I sang somewhere around September. Solona sa sajan hai is a song, I am grown up listening to. This was recorded a day before the actual show by Alex, our Guitarist from Swiss (half British too, his father is British) on his Mac. He just wanted to record it (he said he liked it & at least I should believe that). I got it today itself. As usual Santosh, our Swiss Tabla player (of Indian origin) is with me in this video. Both Santosh & Alex are fun to work with. No microphone..so the audio is bit low. And, of course, you all can also see the glimpse of my naughty Adi jumping in between in front of the Mac. Enjoy!

Vedantic Durgashtami Videos Published!

Dear Friends

Every year we celebrate Durgashtami here in Geneva at the Vedantic Center which normally includes a short cultural programme too. However, this time due to some unavoidable situation, we didn't get much time for planning the cultural programme. In fact, the songs were finalized just two days before the actual programme on 15th of October. But, the programme went off very nice by the grace of the Divine Mother. I am also happy because the cultural programme has been published in the World News Web on day before yesterday that is 11th of Nov 2010.

http://wn.com/durga?orderby=published.

I will upload the videos of the cultural programme presented on the occasion of Durgashtami at Vedantic here too.

Also, I am looking forward to tomorrow's musical night arranged by Indian Association, Geneva. It would be basically Bollywood Numbers. I have to sing some three songs. So wish me luck for tomorrow.

Vande Mataram, 15th Aug 2010, ILO Auditorium, Geneva

2010-10-23T02:36:00.004+02:00

We got the opportunity to sing our National Song Vande Mataram on the occasion of our Independence day, celebrated at International Labour Organization Auditorium, Geneva.

Just to give it a new look, I sang the antara part as solo.

Our National Song Vande Mataram, which has played a historic part in the struggle for Indian freedom, is a poem in the 1882 novel Anandamatha by Bankimchandra Chattapadhyay. In spite of all the controversies, it is still honored equally with Our national Anthem Jana Gana Mana and has equal status with it.

Vande Mataram is very close to my heart, not only because it is the National Song of our motherland India, but also because I like the composition and the melody of the song. This might be the reason why it still attracts musical people to experiment with it again & again. Of course there are so many versions already available, but it is widely believed that the tune set for All India Radio station version was composed by Ravi Shankar [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vande_Mataram].

Very recently, I heard a new version of Vande Mataram, Composed, lead & harmony vocals by: Joseph Thomas (Jo).
U can all hear to the new version at:
http://www.jocalling.com/2010/08/vande-mataram-2010/.
I am also posting it in my blog since I like it in its still a new version.

Until next, keep the faith..

Hi Friends

Durga puja went off really nice and hope you guys had a wonderful time in the puja celebration. I too enjoyed a lot, although there was actually no time to sit and take rest; In fact after months, I got some time to relax. At least there is no practice session for this week. So what I am up to for this week is to convert some earlier recordings of my programmes including the programmes of last year? Yes, that is true. My handy cam is now full and in fact every time there is a programme I have a huge problem of space. So this particular video is also of last year's. It was on the occasion of Durga puja at Vedantik Centre, Geneva & I sang it with one my didi here. From personal front, I like this composition a lot and hope you all too will like it. So enjoy!

Life Back in Action

2010-08-16T17:17:00.011+02:00

Hi Friends
Its been quite late this time to be back on my blog particularly since I have not posted anything in between. Its apparently because of many reasons. But mostly I was relaxing with my family since it is summer and probably the best time for outings in Swiss. Other than that I was also busy in rehearsing for some music programmes. There are few stuffs which I would like to post in here. But it will take me some time to convert the raw files into the required format for uploading. Of course I can share my happiness with you just for now. The yesterday programme was nice. At least I should believe it was, after getting heart felt wishes from everybody soon after the programme. But honestly I have to see the recordings for any improvisation further.

So I will be posting the video updates soon. Just for now I am sharing the YouTube link of my part of the classical concert held on 22nd May 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland. I am really honored to share the same stage with other accomplished classical maestros of music.

Holi Anchoring Excerpts From 20th March Holi-Baisakhi-Eid-Easter Celebrations - Indian Association Geneva

Happy Holi

Aisi rang de ke rang nahi chhute
dhobiya dhoye chahe yeh sari umaria

Laal na rangaaun mein hari na rangaaun
apane hi rang main rangde chunariya.

Bina rangaaye mein to ghar nahin jaaungi
beet hi jaye chaahe yeh saari umariya.

Mira ke prabhu giridhar nagar
prabhu charanan mein
hari charanan mein
shyam charanan mein laagi najaria.

Keep the faith..

Makar Shankranti, 'The Harvest Festival'.

2010-01-14T20:18:00.015+01:00

Happy Harvest Festival to everyone

I have taken this photo soon after finishing my puja for the day. Since today is Makar Shankranti, I spent little more time than usual. Normally, it is a great occassion in most of the parts of India, but you really can get any vibes, if you are staying outside of India and that to in Swiss.

The puja thali and all other accessories like the bell, diya, dhup dani, kalash etc. have been given to me by my mother (we three call her Maa) during my marriage. It is a custom in the coastal belt of Orissa, wherein a mother gives 'Laxminarayan' and a set of all puja accessories to the daughter as a symbol of married hood. Normally, all married woman only do Laxminarayan Brat in orissa. My personal favourite is the kalash with the coconut which I picked from one of the shops located inside 'The Famous Baladevjiu Temple' premises.

I had grown up all those years as a part of all such great festivals and now hardly able to see many of them here, except some very known like Navaratri, Durgastami and very occassionaly Holi. Moreover, with the rapid modernization of our society, we hardly remember and understand the ethics behind all such festivals and coustoms. But nevermind, let us just assume, Aall is well...

Spring rolls, A Sunday's 'Eye Candy'

I prepared these spicy and colourful spring rolls on last Sunday evening to bit the ever going snow fall in Geneva and to make everything look little colourful than all white!! Of course, I like snow fall but this time all is little more..

The other day I was reading about the world's healthiest foods, reasons?? well, obviously every body wants to look good at the end of the day. So, the journey continues 24/7 and all we hunt for something really magical and zooooom....Pretty woman!!
So to be very honest I am not here to discuss all those healthy stuffs, moreover there are thousands of websites, blogs and TV- shows for that. But the one thing which I could certainly mention is that we do try hard to maintain a strict diet plan until one day it just evaporates at the sight of some yummy, colourful, spicy, mouth watering..etc. etc.(I can really go on talking nice ) junk foods and after all those strong promises, we do love to eat such types of food at times. However, there is no harm until and unless we know the limit. So we had a great time eating those spring rolls and I will go on cooking these kind of stuffs, being a typical Indian. But just because I got to know something new and would like to share:

Include Winter squash as part of your everyday diet, if possible, you can really get them easily these days. Winter Squash is one of the richest sources of plant based anti-inflammatory nutrients such as omega-3s and beta-carotene, which are important for a strong immune system to help protect against colds and flu.
You can also include Mushrooms which contain Vitamin-D since we are hardly able to see sun light in Swiss especially in winter.

I believe it will help all my vegan friends.
Until next,
Keep the faith..

An Immature Shree...

This is a famous composition of Shri Goswami Tulsidas. I have heard the original by Lataji which is a master piece. I had sung this as an ingruatory piece in a programme at a very short notice and with an all time friend of mine?? My Tanpura. The recording is not up to mark. Next time, I will try to sing it properly so that all the murkians will come properly. I hope u like it. However, I always welcome comments, good or bad...doesn't matter.
Till next,
Keep the faith..

Tomorrow is Saturday!!

2010-01-09T00:53:00.008+01:00

Good morning!!
I'm back and probably, a little very early in the morning. Come on! still there is time to go to the bed. Let's talk for Saturdays and Sundays!! Hmmmm.......Eating something really fancy and exotic, watching ur kinda movie and sleeping late... after all, what are weekends for? So, for the time being when I am in front of my system we can really be closure. Since I was busy in the whole morning today, more correctly, yesterday, so I thought of posting latter in the evening, but then Kirti surprised me when I went to open the door expecting my dear husband rather. She came with some cakes and chocolates and I was wondering at my sharp memory and that she has her birthday today..Kirti?? Well, she is a very small girl and daughter of a dear friend. So here I am posting late in the night. Now the moment of truth...I have been working on my blog and as soon as everything gets little perfect, I will sit on writing something about myself, my passion for music and so many different things which I like to do....For the moment enjoy the beauty and Keep the faith.
