Sometimes grad school, work and everything else in your life can really make you feel like this, and bruno read my mind inside out on this…
War without casualties is an impossible task. Even though we don’t know how many of our soldiers sacrifice their lives to end this war, its not hard to do an educated guess on that number. When I think about it, I feel so guilty that I am here in United States working on my graduate degree while my fellow brothers and sisters are on the battle field to save my life. But at the same time everyone cant go to the war. Each individual can contribute in many ways.
But, I wrote this song to show my gratitude to our armed forces. And I wanted to show the world that a Soldier is another human and he also has a softer side, who has feelings like everyone else in the world. I do my job for pen and pencil and it happened to be that soldier needs a gun to do his job.

One of the worlds leading DJ, brilliant and extreamly articulate Radio show host Nihal has picked our Athamita Kasi song to play in his Bobby Friction & Nihal show. Booby Friction & Nihal show is one of the hottest Radio Show in BBC Radio One. Both Bobby and Nihal always provide us a platfrom to rise and tell our aesthetic story to the world. As a tabla player, song writer and a big fan of Asian Underground music, I have been religiously listening to Bobby Nihal Show week after week. And I am really honored and thankful to both Nihal and Bobby for selecting a song that I wrote to be played in BBC Radio One Bobby & Nihal Show for the second consecutive time. Last year Nihal played “Paa Salamba” track which I wrote for Ranidu for almost three weeks in his play list.
It is so cloying to hear a song that you wrote on a place like BBC…

If you read my previous blog post you already know about the Atha Mita Kazi Track. Ok here we go on a nut shell, I wrote lyrics for Ranidu’s (Check Out Ranidu’s New Website) latest Track Artha Mita kazi (The Fake Friendz Song). I am proud to say that once again we put Sri Lanka on the world music map with the head held high. BBC Radio Adil Ray’s show is a well known international Radio Show that plays world music. Currently Adil Ray has put our song on his “Big One” collection.

This an example that confirms, If you produce classy work, you get rewarded with respect.
It was the day after X’Mas (08), Ranidu was in Sri Lanka and we had just finish the “Sebalaneni” (Solider) Track. It was fun, Ranidu was at Ranga’s Studio finishing is “Amme Mathakai Nam” and “Nilnayaniye”. I was thousands of miles far away in Minnesota over the phone giving lyrics to Ranidu. So within 48 hours we finished two tracks. We had to it in such a hurry, because Ranidu had only few weeks left in his Sri Lanka trip. Keep it in mind that we may do things in a hurry but we never let down our standard, or the class of the product. Yesterday Ranidu just released “Athamita Kasi” Track which is about Fake Friends (be honest we all have them) on Facebook. If you have facebook account you can enjoy our work. The “Sebalaneni” track will get release soon.
