Sounds good!

I feel Kumaresh would be better served by producing his videos as a dialogue with another person. His expertise and ideas fly very high and most lay listeners need a go-between to connect with him.
Something to think about. Perhaps PRCM can be the interviewer.

I have become a huge fan of the FiddlingMonk after watching two of his recent "stream of consciousness" video clips (Raga Modi was the previous one), where he provides a brief breezy intro/teaser commentary for the subsequent weighty improvisational exercise.

Definitely don't want a third person between me and the monk :)

Was not aware that I was. Think it is you that needs to be debriefed :D

This is also true of any odd number - since up to that number - there are n integers and their sum n*(n+1)/2 is divisible by that number. So a tAla based on that odd number will accomodate an analogous solution fitting his description.

A sankIRNa cApu ( 18 aksharas per Avarta in madyama kAla or 2nd kAla) citta svara passage running to lets say 10 avartas - 180 aksharas , one can make it into 10 sections, play the first to 10 spacing , rest 9 sections each for spacing of 9 down through 1.

Each section goes from samam to samam - i.e. occupies some integer multiple of avartas in this scheme.

If that requirement of each section occupying full AvaRta is removed , then any multiple of (n*(n+1))/2 - like lets say , for n=7, 3*28 = 84 akshara svara passage can be taken with each spacing ( 7 down thru 1 - no 8 here) played for a section of 3 svaras each to reach samam.
