wow. good show. it is kambodhi. and u r right. madurai somu. he is singing one palinchu. but when i confirmed with resources, they say no other singer sings this 'palinchu' and it is not to be found in most of the guides also.

friends, i wanted to ask this, in sangeethapriya yahoo groups, i just went through the general rules.

one of them was, dont post in all caps. and also, i found out that this forum also does not allow posts with all capital letters.

some of my posts are in all caps, since i found it easy while tab-bing from my blog and this forum.

is there any significance in this rule? am new to netiquette, so want some guidance.

naarayanan · Post by **naarayanan** » 12 Jun 2009, 07:58

i learnt from my friends that ALL CAPS amounts to 'shouting' in net and sms parlance. thats why it is not allowed in most of the international forums.

unaware of this, i was profusely using all caps. sorry, if it was disturbing.

naarayanan · Post by **naarayanan** » 01 Jul 2009, 20:48

wow. arun, first time a reply within 5 mins of posting. that itself is something i wud appreciate. any link to your quiz?

let me try to give a clue in your crossword style!!

find the indian garland in vi editor to view this raga(6)

arunk · Post by **arunk** » 01 Jul 2009, 20:53

Its in the first puzzle: http://sunson.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/ ... -puzzle-1/

Good job at the clue. You should change "in" to "with" to make it more correct. Also can avoid the word Indian as it makes it too obvious.

Another way:
Garland the text editor singing this raga (6)

Now that would be cryptic

Arun
