On being a good rasika

A few quotes:
"A rasika has the same spark of genius as the artist himself, only the degrees might vary.

Those ‘sabashs’ ‘Wah Wahs’ or ‘once more’ is like adrenalin shots!

We cannot all be Tansens, but surely, we can train ourselves to be ‘Kansens’?"

Amen to that.

SiSur-vEtti paSur-vEtti vEtti gAna rasam phaNi:
A rasika need not necessarily be an artist, but an artist is a better rasika.

[Ahiri]

Some prose is poetry .It is lovely to read such prose aloud .
