Hooked to Devagandhari

Who sings Devagandhari the best??

I have been listening to Ksheera Sagara Shayana sung by a few greats..I seem to like Balamurali Krishna's the most,T.N Seshagopalan's the next followed by KJY's and Unnikrishnan's ..in that order

This Krithi soothens me everytime i go through a taxing day or have a forgetable day.Have to fly back to Seattle tomorrow..its going to be a cold weekend ,lots of laundry ,essay writing ,training ..Action packed

TNS's rendition of this number is simply superb. It really sends a chill down my spine and I get emotional. Glad to know someone like Ksheera saagara so much. Beautiful song and beautiful raagam

Mylapore Experience

Jai and I went for a carnatic concert featuring the Ranjani-Gayathri combo. The queue outside the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan hall clearly showed thier fan following.

The highlights of the concert were the 'Thodi' kirthanai ,the meera bhajan and the tukaram abhang in that order.

Not the most cleanest place but yes i felt the place has preserved its soul :-).The...

Covid 19 and Work from Home

Its been 4 years since I wrote a line here. 2020 has been mostly peeping out of my window in Bangalore and nothing much!  I feel the urge to change- shake it up a lot these days.

The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities

Weddings Galore

The weekend was 'cool' , i mean it in every sense of the word. Coimbatore was like some holiday spot in winter wow! .The place was windy ,overcast and less cramped. I attended 2 weddings. Did the customary photographs and wishing .Been doing quite a bit of that off late . Met my high school teacher at Shyam's wedding.She was one of my favourites in school. I was really surprised when she recognized me by name.I have changed quite a bit ( read shed some flab)since i passed out in 1997,Hmm..teachers some are so special. It was such a pleasure meeting Kausalya madam,still the same warm hearted lady. and yes the second class train ride during the onward journey brought me back to earth. I had to clean my bunker thanks to some great indian traveller's eating spree. The ride back was much better, hari was in the same coupe as well.So lotsa guy talk and employer abuse happened in between some sane conversation around telecom strategy et.al. What else do you expect when 3 M.B.A...
