Rajan Parrikar is himself a musician and stalwart, inspiring Thimma, with an old recordings music library of his own collections dedicated to his mother, Vijaya.

Oh My God !!! :envy: It is the other way round
Thimma is inspired by Parrikkar . . Edit your post before anyone gets to hear of it .
Before I am dragged into the moonlight and my guts spill over to the street .

On a serious note He is much much more . He was the first one to get us to think, how internet can be used in these musical matters . Google for his photographs , and Goa related work too and you will spend long hours , watching a craftsman , too.

Yes, Thimma, as per your correction, I edited the post - Rajan Parrikar's fame was known since the usenet days and as a friend of Ramesh Mahadevan who moved back to Chennai after spending most of some decades in Denver.

BTW, Ramesh wrote a primer for CM - besides a lot of Ajit ka phattas and many sardonic humorous pieces with the character Ajay Palvayanteeswaran, that should still be floating around.
