TO VIEWERS

Dear Friends

Thank you for visiting my blogs and websites often, and enjoying my music, poetry and other creations. The number of viewers has increased considerably since I first launched my webpages and blogs. I  am happy to introduce a new phase of  my web pages.

WHAT IS NEW?

You can see that the webpage design is new. I hope you like it. But substantively there is lot more. Here is the highlight.

Home Page :

You are on the home page for www.ghanshyamthakkar.com with new design. There is one more home page for www.oasisthacker.com when you are on that blog. The page index will identify them.

Main Page :

Click on ENTER MAIN PAGE to go to the main page. This page will provide an overview of all the pages.

Composer Oasis:

This page will provide overview of all the links related to my music creations and music business.

Bollywood Oasis:

This is very exciting new section with many features. Many of you have seen my Gujarati music albums on my web and blog pages. Some time I have broadcasted those songs plus some instrumental Indian music via my blog-posts. However few of you know that few years ago I spent 3 years in Mumbai, in seclusion, to perfect my musical skills and other technical skills required for the art. While I was in Mumbai, I also tried my luck to enter Bollywood's Hindi and Gujarati music and film industry. I came close to signing some contracts for a couple of music albums, and even a film deal. But many unfortunate events occurred in Bollywood in 1996-97, such as closing of ABCL, and death of T-series founder Gulshan Kumar. My contracts were delayed, so I produced two Gujarati Albums, few Hindi songs myself, and then returned back to USA for personal reasons, and re-entered my Engineering profession.

I was hoping that someday I will be able to introduce my creations and skills to you by finding a proper broadcasting medium. Luckily, now Internet is the greatest medium to present my music, poetry, comedy etc. arts directly to the audience, in every corner of the world. I have many Hindi and Gujarati Music Albums on the way. In the next column, I am presenting my art to the producers, hoping that, after listening to my samples, they will give me an opportunity to work for their films, TV show or music projects. On internet I can run my own shows with you viewers’ support.

'Bollywood Oasis' will also have a sub-section 'Remix'. In this section I will honor Bollywood Classics (films and artists). I will present remix version of Classic Hindi Film Songs.

Club Oasis (महफिल-ए-ओएसीस): You will enjoy this section very much. Periodically you will be able to listen to full songs composed and performed by me. Some will be with singers' voices, some instrumental. You will listen to my compositions, as well as my remix arrangements from famous Bollywood classics arranged and performed by me. The sound files will remain on blog-posts only for two days after broadcast (not permanently), so click on the posts as soon as possible. Why not permanent link? As you know, music is my profession now; and if I provide my music free on permanent links, how would I sell my music to buy my bread-butter? I hope you buy my music albums. Single songs will be available to download for a small fee, soon.

Samples & Downloads: In this section, you will be able to see listing of all my songs and will be able to hear the samples. The download section will be activated soon.

Hollywood Oasis:

Music: I have spent more years of my life in USA than in India. I have great admiration for different type of American and other western music styles, American comedy, literature, and other art-forms. I have produced one instrumental music album, DewDrops on the Oasis, in my own Cool-Jazz style for International audience, and many more are on the way. You will know all about my Hollywood Music Compositions in this section.

Comedy: You will be able to read humorous blog-posts and watch U-tube comedy video's in this section.

All the other sections will be unchanged.
