A delightful malayalam song and another good one from 2005 I missed

The song "Vethyasthanaaya Barbaram Baalan" from the movie "Kadhaparayumbol" has become stale with overplay yet it is a delightful song you must listen you if you have missed it.

There are a couple of others I missed down the line. The first one is from the movie "Taj Mahal", the new version that came out in 2005. It has one delightful song in "Apne Zulfen" sung by veteran HariHaran and composed by the late legend Naushad. Note that there is a music intro to the song that lasts several minutes before the actual song begins.

One reason why I was able to check this song was when Ritvik Rajan sang it so well at the Asianet Idea Star Singer 2007 show. Ritvik is out of the competition but I must mention him because he is also a "special" child. He is visually impaired and he also cannot communicate properly. However his singing is perfect. Check his performances at the Idea Star Singer competition here. Unfortunately the site has removed his "Apne Zulfen" performance and I was not able to locate it on Youtube. Maybe you could try. The performance is one that will bring a tear to your eye. Sung so well, the guest on the show, Jyothirmayi even confessed she was in love with Ritvik after his performance.
