    Dear Ms.Charulatha Mani,
    I have been reading with interest your e-mail letters and also listening to the music
    clippings of your singing.I am an ardent lover of not only Carnatic Music,but also Hindustani
    Music.I have heard the concerts of maestros/doyens/legends in Carnatic Music at Madras
    in my school/college days and later at Delhi.I have also heard the maestros in Hindustani
    Music in Delhi during 70's,80's &90's.I had learnt Hindustani Music for about three years
    from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya in Delhi.As such I have a fairly good knowledge of
    Hindustani Music also.
    Well,the purpose of writing this letter is to get some clarifications about the ragas
    of some old film songs.Since you have been making some research &studies in music
    including old Tamil & Hindi film songs,you should be able to clarify.
    1. The classical based song in the Tamil film,"Karnan",namely,"Iravum Nilavum
    Malarattume,Nam Inimai ninaivugal thodarattume",probably sung by Susheela is based
    on the Hindustani raga,'Shyam Kalyan'.Pl.confirm.
    2.The song,"Partha jnapakam illaiyo Paruva natakam thollaiyo" is based on which
    raga?
    3.On which raga is the song,"Kaththiruppan Kamala Kannan" is based on?This song
    is also perhaps a film song of the 50's/60's and was very popular.
    4.In one of your e-mail letters you had indicated the ragas of some Hindi film songs
    as 'Bilawal' & 'Alaiya Bilawal'.I had sent some clarifications/confirmations letter,which,it
    appears,has not been delivered.As far as I know, 'Bilawal' is the Hindustani equivalent of
    our 'Shankarabharanam' and 'Alaiya Bilawal' is the equivalent of ' Bilahari'.I hope I am
    right.Pl.confirm.
    I have heard only once your full-fledged concert,perhaps at Narada Gana Sabha
    Mini Hall.I look forward to hearing your concert - a comparative analysis of Hindustani &
    Carnatic Music including the famous Hindi & Tamil film songs of yester-years.Pl.
    notify me,when you give a concert.
    With regards
    Santhanam
