I was fortunate enough to saw u and ur concert live in Chennai (vijay tv event on ur 50th birthday i think) and then recently in Madurai for Times of India event where i am able to talk to u for a moment. In the recent times u r not into tamil songs any plans/films u r working hariji.  
• hariharan123: every month  
• saurabhpathak: truly we always want you   
• Suravees81: but u r hardly thr...:(  
• rbhatt1: thanks a lot.  
• kaustav2013: sir are u angry with us :(   
• Suravees81: luks like ...  
• rbhatt1: Hari ji tell us something about funndu? we want to hear from u... as this is something new...  
• hariharan123: @Swaminathn The plan is.....the planners r the music directors 
• saurabhpathak: Very True Hari Sir   
• hariharan123: @Kaustav Y do u feel that way?  
• Suravees81: why arnt u replying all of us?  
• avraban: sir, we want to see as composing music for films as well..it would be just wao  
• kekanaan: You can produce some Tamil albums also...  
• saurabhpathak: Today's music is so unfortunate that it cannot make appropriation of Jewels Like you sir   
• Suravees81: v wd like to b addressed atleast once, individually! not fair...:((((  
• hariharan123: @Kekanaan Ya may b  
• kekanaan: seen one you have done with Saarangan..  
• MidhunKannan: hari ji could yo please tel me bout how to practice high notes without shouting..??  
• hariharan123: @Saurabh   
• swaminathan: u can even do albums like earlier u did sir it has been long time (irudhayam idam 
• saurabhpathak: I am being true sir   
• saurabhpathak: I feel pity and sad at the same time   
• swaminathan: maari thudikum kind of songs still being fresh to our ears)  
• MidhunKannan: i too need to get that silk voice like yo what all efforts should i take?  
• hariharan123: @Midhun when u r hitting high notes try to look down at an angle. This way u r using the head voice. A mix of the chest n the head allows u to hit the high notes without shouting  
• amit: i think lots of riyaz  
• avraban: sir, dont you think the popularity of ghazal, semi classical and classical is coming down, whsat your views on this ? specially in the coming generation, they just cannot think beyond any music outside bollywood which is unfortunate..your comments Sir
• MidhunKannan: thank yo so much sir, i ll try practisin in that way :)  
• saurabhpathak: I agree to Avraban   
• amit: i too  
• Saurabh: Sir may i knw your fav raag ..which you usually love to sing  
• amit: its nice ques u raised  
• Saurabh: according to me its yaman  
• MidhunKannan: which do you think is the toughest raaga sir?  
• saurabhpathak: I think it should be Raag Bhinn Shadaj   
• MidhunKannan:    if not toughest may be trickiest raaga?
• saurabhpathak: Aandhiyaan aati thin lekin   
• hariharan123: @avraban Bollywood is only kind of music which is being played on all the main stream platforms be it TV or radio. There is no chance of exposure to the new generation to these geners. When u dont hear it there is no question of liking it.  
• saurabhpathak: Very Logical insertion by Hari Ji   
• rbhatt1: maybe hariji lsot connection  
• MidhunKannan: ya exactly  
• rbhatt1: should we wait for the guru ji  
• avraban: i agree sir and also the corporates today do not have any social responsiblitiy, they do not sponsor niche concerts, programs\  
• rbhatt1: agreed avra  
• avraban: they only do for money however they get...in fact if you see print or any media they do covering for TRP or business  
• saurabhpathak: Sir aapne toh kuch video post hi nai kiya?? Bewakoof bana diya mujhe..   
• avraban: but good we got legends like you, Shankarji still in bollywood today  
• kekanaan: Hariji left the chat....  
• avraban: as far as your favourite raga is concerned, we are looking to know that..but u composed and sung quite a lot in Jog, Kirwani..  
• avraban: there could be some choices 3-4 ragas...u like most to sing  
• Saurabh: i guess its Yaman-Kalyani  
• saurabhpathak: Has Hari Ji actually left >  
• kekanaan: Nadal down by 2 sets  
• kekanaan: Yep,he has left...  
• Saurabh: :(  
• rbhatt1: looks like

• sraoh: So sweet of you Sandhya :)  
• amit: which is your fav. traveling destination for vacations? in india and abroad...

• pradeep: I bet it should be Gandhibazar and Basavanagudi.  
• Krvenkusa: Have u learnt Karnatik/Hindustani Soumya?Who are your teachers?
• sandhyamukherjee2: thanks ....but i mean it as never in any social networking I have seen this possibility  
• sraoh: Money is always a factor in every sphere of life, no, krvenkusa?  
• sraoh: Amit, as I have said in my video here on funndu, I have never visited Goa yet..  It's funny, I know..  So I'm rectifying it soon..  Off to Goa next week haha..  Sooooooo looking forward to it  
• pradeep: Soumya, do u miss Vidyaarthi Bhavan and NMH hotel, SLV brahmins coffee after shifting to Mumbai.

• CreamedDonuts: What inspired u to sing the song?    
• pradeep: Hows Sunil Rao doing? not much seen in music or films or TV serials too.  
• sraoh: I learnt Carnatic classical when I was about 8 years old.. From Guru TV Muthacharya..  VEry little of Hindustani from Guru Rajbahu Sontakke, in Bangalore..  But I'm more or less untrained classically  
• Krvenkusa: Yes Soumya Money is important, however a starter has to be encouraged to build talent, That is one thing that lacks in Karnataka Music Industry.I see most of the Kannada singers themselves not in picture sometimes and not given a chance.Its very demotivating for newcomers
• sraoh: Super, Sandhya..  AM having great fun here  
• sraoh: Vidyarthi Bhavan dosas are to die for...  Just love them  
• sraoh: MTR..  Uff..  I just had breakfast..  But I'm still drooling thinking of MTR feast

• amit: i heard your brother is big name kannada film industry ...? 
• sraoh: Sunil is fine..  He is a chilled out guy..  Chooses when he wants to work...  And takes a break when he feels like it haha  
• rbhatt1: Sandhya i agree... Funndu did an awesome job... where we can connect with such great singers, musicians, etc... and that too live.. ... we usually watch them on TV, or performance..   
• pradeep: thats nice.  
• sraoh: True, that..  krvenkusa  
• sandhyamukherjee2: exactly...thats what I meant...it is the first of its kind  
• sraoh: I don't particularly have a sweet tooth..  But Mysore pak from Venkateshwara?  CAn never say No to that  
• Rinku: Sowmya  who would you name as one of your  Co singers with whom you   enjoy  singing the most .

• Krvenkusa: Yes no doubt Sunil is a good talent.I had met het him personally too at his residence like in 2002 I think with BKS Amma
• sraoh: Hi Rinku..  I love to sing with everyone because everyone adds their personality to the song..  Sonu Nigam's singing makes me better my singing when I sing a duet with him..  Also Sukhwinder Singh..  Just lovvvvvve them.

• trupti: I am good...its really amazing i am with Sowmya Raoh in live chat . . .  
• Krvenkusa: Have u sung any classical fusions karnatic?
• sandhyamukherjee2: i remember your song from DUM...which had sukhwinder and Jolly Mukherjee with you...love that song  
• sandhyamukherjee2: i agreee  
• Krvenkusa: I can start guessing ur birth year may be..if U insist?
• sandhyamukherjee2: i agree trupti....hi trupti , this is sandhya  
• sraoh: I would really love to sing in Marathi..  I have sung jingles in Marathi, but not a song as yet..  I'm a Bombay girl now, and though I don't speak the language much sadly, singing would make up for it  
• sraoh: Of course..  I cook all that myself..  And I make really mean bisibelebhaath..  Even if I say so myself  
• trupti: hello sandyaji good morning  
• sraoh: Thanks Trupti
