Raju Ananthaswamy is no more..

This might be an old news for mosta ya.. but I came to know about it quite recently, bcoz, nowadays, I, kinda live in stone age {courtesy my deputation to noida, i've been robbed of the luxuries of internet and kannada channels aren't available on television}.

Being an ardent fan of the Ananthaswamys {both father n son}, I was kinda hurt by Raju Ananthaswamy's sudden demise.. he had an unique voice, which suited his kinda music.. among his best ones, the song jollybarinalli with C.Ashwath and the melodious song yaava mohana murali kareyithu in Raju's soulful voice, from muvi America America still rings in the ears..

He had lots more to give to the sugama sangeeta and loads to achieve, but for fate.. it has alwayz been cruel on young musicians.. few years ago, it was GV Atri, now its Raju..

Nevertheless, we, kannadigas, will definitely miss Raju and alwayz remember his special voice... Raju may not be here anymore, but his voice'll stay in millions of kannadigas' hearts forever... may his soul rest in peace !!
