Mdrnkvn · Post by **Mdrnkvn** » 29 Nov 2008, 20:25

Hi
I am from Chennai. I was once active in sangeetham.com and are seeing a few names here too.
I am an ardent MDR, KVN and Ramnad Krishnan fan.
That explains my Id - MD(RNK)VN

Happy to be part of this group.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 29 Nov 2008, 20:53

Welcome Ram - from the other thread, I assume that the Trichur Brothers are your siblings!
Welcome MDRNKVN - I got the MDR/KVN part from your first part, but the RNK was elusive to pin down!

Mdrnkvn · Post by **Mdrnkvn** » 29 Nov 2008, 22:04

Thanks Rshankar for the welcome.
Yes, RNK, in his prime, was a rare blend of speed, sowkyam, Bhavam and kanakku.
Each of them invokes colorful images of raga in me.
And at times, when I listen to him, I find MDR and KVN merge into one.
One manasu swaadheenamu of RNK still rings in my mind

sridhar_ranga · Post by **sridhar_ranga** » 17 Dec 2008, 13:30

I have been around in this forum for the last 1 year and have almost been addicted to it - can sense some kind of withdrawal symptoms if I stay away from rasikas for more than a day or two

Rasikas helps enhance my knowledge of CM all the time & it feels great to have such a learned bunch of folks for company.

I have been an avid listener of CM for a couple of decades now - mostly on radio/ CD/ cassettes. Have started attending concerts over the last 2+ years - thanks to a good decision 4 years ago to relocate to Chennai! This is the place to be

for CM aficionados.

I have had no formal training in CM but decided to take the plunge some 4 months ago...am learning from a guru probably half my age (he is a 3rd year Music student and a good teacher in the making!) - just graduated from Malahari to Mohanam/ Kalyani geethams over the last 2 weekends.

srkris · Post by **srkris** » 17 Dec 2008, 23:36

Sridhar_rang, probably there should be a thread for "welcome to old members" so people who have been around dont feel left out.

perarulalan · Post by **perarulalan** » 19 Dec 2008, 13:58

Dear all,
I am Arulalan, a PhD student from the Indian Institute of Science.. As Sridhar_Rang has said.. I had been addicted to this site for more than a year.. Infact the reviews by some of the members here have been so lively that it makes us get a feel of having attended the concerts. Though I have not learnt carnatic music..I am an avid listener of CM...
With the amount of information this site gives, it is more of a Gurukulam for people like us..
Great to be here!!
Arul

Hi,
I am a member in this forum for the past few months.
I am a dancer, student of Chitra Visweswaran and also learning music.
I would to say here that my husband has brought out a book, RAGA CHINTAMANI.
Ragachintamani is a compilation of tamil cine songs based on classical ragas. It has an introduction of the general pattern of ragas and their varieties. A brief introduction of around 160 raga is given and the cine songs based on that raga is listed. The arohanam and avarohanam of the raga is also given, which may be useful for those who are in orchestra troupe who may be in need of this information. Once again the songs vs ragas are given in an alphabetical order so that you can easily locate the raga for a song. So far the tamil cine world might have produced millions of songs and as a first step he has only brought around 1500 songs.
Regards,
Jayanthi
