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

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.
