Karthik: Management Degree from IIM
Background:
Few years back Karthik was a regular college goer . He had good interest in music and was learning Carnatic music right from his school days. He was singing for his college band. They used to participate regularly in IIT Madras Fest ‘Sarang’. He never dreamt that he would become a professional singer. He is an ardent fan of AR Rahman. It was one of his life ambitions to see ARR atleast once. He used to call studios but the studio manager or someone used to pick and keep the phone. Singer Srinivas(’Priya Priya Champoddey’ song in Jeans) is a good friend of Karthik’s cousin. Srinivas introduced Karthik to ARR. He could not believe this and was on Cloud 9.
At that time ARR asked him whether he can sing. He said yes and ARR asked him to sing something for him. He was surprised and sang a song. ARR was impressed and advised him to look into singing as a career. Karthik could not believe this as meeting ARR was itself a memorable moment for him and ARR giving such a compliment was totally unbelievable. He left everything and again started practising regularly. However, he could not get a singing chance immediately.
Atlast the debute day came in an interesting way. It was one of his friend’s birthday. They went to a snooker parlour. They planned a surprise birthday gift for their friend and wanted to spend till midnight there. Only one of them was having a cell phone. Rahman was looking for some fresh voices for chorus. Singer Srinivas was trying to reach Harish Raghavendra, Tippu, Gopal Rao..etc He could not get one of them right away and so was trying to reach Karthik through his residence number. Karthik’s Mom was trying to call to his friend’s cell phone but the signal was poor in the snooker parlour. Srinivas was continuously calling Karthik’s Mom for about 8 times and his Mom literally started crying as she knows the importance of that chance and how much interested Karthik was in singing.
It was around 12 that they came upstairs. Atlast he attened his Mom’s call and on knowing this rushed to the studio on his bike. It was for the Pukar movie and he had to sing chorus with Tippu, Harish. It was his debute which was finished in 30 Mins at around 1 AM. He could not believe what had happened. Even none of his friends took it seriously when he told them that he sang for Rahman. Unfortunately that song in Pukar didn’t come out. He started singing chorus with Tippu, Harish for about an year.
Rahman always used to get confused in indentifying Tippu and Karthik. He always mistook Karthik to
Tippu. One day during a chorus session, Rahman observed all the singers and said ‘You the guy without spectacles stay back and others can leave’. It was Karthik. He took it very seriously and was knowing that Rahman would ask him to sing and its a lovely chance to prove his mettle. He decided to take it as a do or die situation. Rahman asked him to sing an aalaap. He was singing and Rahman was giving some suggestions by playing the chords. Rahman was expecting more grief in the aalaap and thus Karthik forgot about himself and got very much immersed into it by singing continuously, closing his eyes. After some time, he opened his eyes and saw that everyone was laughing.
Rahman was standing next to him and said ‘Good job. You did well’.
Next day Rahman asked him to come for a track with which he was trying something new and if it works he will use it. It was for the movie ‘Jodi’. He was nervous but Rahman was jovial with him and made him feel comfortable. After the recording Rahman said its good. This is how he got his first break with Rahman.
None would be knowing how a song comes out under Rahman. Because it undergoes lots of transformations. ‘Girl Friend’ song in Boys was the one everyone believed beforehand that its gonna rock. When Karthik started singing this, Rahman interrupted and asked him to sing like a saxaphone. It was interesting to sing like an instrument.
That brought lot of variety to the song. And the rest is history.

hey i am the 75th commenter!!!!! :-p
AAhhhhh!!!!!! I just dropped by to say ……………… I’m thouroughly disappointed with the results of yesterday’s filmfare awards. They are just so biased yaar!!!! Hrithik Roshan????? Best Actor??????? What a joke! If I’m not wrong…..well, I’m never wrong…….he got this award last year for Dhoom2 but wasn’t Hrithik playing the role of the villian….I mean he played a negative role right? Then why the hek was he…..Oh lets forget it. Even Siddhu lost the best debut awrd to Upen Patel, why? ………I still wonder cos 36 China town was a total bakwaas and that guy didn’t even dub for himself. I wish Amir had won the best actor award for Rang De basanti than Hritik for Dhoom2. I wouldn’t have minded had Javed Ali (who sang Jash e Bahara) or Rashid Ali (who sang Kabhi kabhi Aditi) had got the best singer award but that again went to Sukhwinder Singh. Well if u ask me Haule Haule is a damn BORING and EASY song. Koi bhi aira gaira natthu khaira use gaa sakta hai. Aishwarya and Asin desrved the best actress award more than Priyanka and Ghajini was directed WAY better by AR Murgoddos than by Ashutosh (Jodha Akbar). HA Ha no wonder Aamir doesn’t attend award shows

Hey today I’m writing my Boards!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG STEP towards life…….huh?????????
The FIRST thing you gooto write before kicking off any EXAM:
All matter written below is purely fictitious. Any resemblance to the contents prescribed in the NCERT textbook whatsoever is absolutely unintentional and co-incidental. All the optional answers have been answered as well. It’s a matter of personal choice for the teacher’s to check the answer they wish to do so. My paper’s principle marks a departure from the legacy of bookish learning which continues to shape and form our education and causes a gap between school, home and social community. The answers developed on the basis of my knowledge signifies an attempt to implement this basic idea.
Exams ke chaar din pehle:
Kuchh to hua hai, Kuchh ho gayaa hai
Exams paper dekh kar:
Sab kuchh alag hai, Sab kuchh nayaa hai. You know what guys??? Human brain is the most astonishing creation of god. It functions 365 days a year, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day but stops functioning the monment we enter the examination hall
Hey U’ve got a card Karthy!!!

I think the Board ppl were sleeping when they were preparing the questions! 12th mein Commerce ke ek paper mein gadbad aur phir 10th ke Social Studies, Hindi paper aur Maths papers mein ghotala……. In this year’s Social paper they printed the picture of rice and asked qustions like what crop it was, what were the climatic conditions needed..the major regions of the crop. Most students cudn’t recognize it in the 1st place upar se Facebook par iske kihlaaf ek community khul gayaa….If I’m EVERRR granted a wish I wud wish 4 a world where there is no mehnat, no pasina, no rona dhona, no Aryabhattya, no Einstein, no Darwin, no Mendelleev, No Bohr ……….basically NO STUDIES…

As I’ve mentioned b4 I’m not a south indian but I love the films out here and frankly speaking Karthy shud rather stick 2 good and proper songs rather than trying for thoz raunchy, loud and over the top hindi stuff to reach out for a larger audience. You know…….. kabhi bade-boodhon ne kaha tha…….. if a student wants excellence he mustn’t crave for success and if he wants success he wud never achieve excellence………but I believe that if one tries to attain perfection then success will automatically come running after him…..So man Bollywood mite b BIG but itz not like the ULTIMATE!
STICK TO YOUR ROOTS B4 U get UPROOTED

Well….this one may sound a bit unbelievable because I myself don’t believe this to be honest but I just happened to come across a music review of Jaane Tu…. and the reviewer (guess what?! review karne wale ka naam bhi Karthik tha!!) wrote in his blog that the song “Kabhi Kabhi Aditi” was actually supposed to be sung by Karthik himself (I mean not the reviewer but the singer) but AR Rahman decided to go ahead with Rashid Ali bcoz Karthik’s pronounciations weren’t good enough…………………!!! Well, I STILL DON’t believe this ……just for the sake of some info…..
