That's a great photo of him. He will not be phased in keeping tala, even in a complex palavi. He is very knowledgeable.

'phased'? Surely you meant to say 'fazed'??

'Akira' Poraar! Gamakam I'm very impressed about your biodata. There are signs of a great liter o author emerging.

Thank you gamakam for the interesting write-up.

Oh dear, you are right: I have to faze up to my typos and bad spelling!

Translation please

[Nick H]

r-t likes to catch the typos. That's a hobby of mine too, even though I make plenty myself. They add an extra dimension and new meaning to writing.

The point is that Akira is really very knowledgeable about CM. Laya and calculation is just one thing that he is good at: way ahead of me.

Gamakam,
Another of your excellent accounts! You are a fine writer and a natural.
I have seen Akira in many sabhas but haven't noticed him keep tALam!

He gave me a full analysis of one of these non-text-book talams we had just witnessed in a concert.
