  4. Enjoyable piece. Two more unforgettable songs in KHP are (i) Ahaaya pandalile (TMS/PS) and (ii) "I will sing for you" by TMS. The first one is a sedate, soothing KHP while the other is a brilliant combination of western instrumentation and classic carnatic raga, brilliantly orchestrated and vigourously sung by TMS. Both are tuned by the great MSV! R.V.EASWAR

  5. Nice blog with good info. I have a feedback. Can you have a section where you would compare the different melakarthas in their tones and arohanam and avarohanam. Most of the times, we tend to recognise the ragas by comparing the tune with anotehr familiar song. And the recognition woudl come only when we compeltely know the arohanam and the avarohanam along with the different nishadas, rishabas etc. Can you add a section for this too. I think it would be very very helpful
