Today I was listening to Thiruda Thiruda – A.R.Rahman’s 3rd movie which whenever I listen transforms me to the slogging days of 12th Standard. However, I was listening to Raasaathi en usuru ennuthilla and remembered the voice – Shahul Hameed – the unfortunate singer who died so young in a car crash near Chennai in 1998 or around that time. I was appreciating the intense song the way Shahul Hameed had song with so much passion and life – I felt sad. How unfortunate – he could have been a great singer with his high pitch and powerful voice.
However, he still lives on. 10 years down the line, a soul thought about him. Isn’t that wonderful. Very few can leave a mark on the world they lived – it is easy for artists – musicians, painters, singers, dancers, actors,writers. What will people like me leave behind?
Anyway, Shahul Hameed – your voice is immortal. Thanks for the great song.
