I write from Sweden. I have been watching your 'Isai Payanam' program via youtube lately. I must tell you that I immensely enjoy listening to your program. As you said in one of your interviews on a TV show, like your friends, I am also interested in finding out the ragas for the cinema songs. Therefore, I find your program very interesting. You sing really beautifully!
I wanted to say hello to you and also to write to you to get in touch with you.
If I am in touch with you I presume I could get your help to get some information on ragas and songs.
I used to live in Sydney, Australia for many years, and I started learning carnatic music there. But, after moving to Scandinavian countries I do not have any one here to talk about carnatic music. I wish I live in India so that I can quench my thirst for music!
Congrats, being an ardent carnatic music lover and I used to follow and listed to your concerts. Exemplary voice. Yesterday music fusion was scintillating. Warm regards

Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur
