Observations

1. Lot of sangatis for pallavi in opening song. Have not heard so many variations for this kriti. Made me look it up.

2. Idea for subject born out of swara exchange for the opening song. Combined age or weight of the titans probably less than mine.

3. High energy neraval & swaras on #2. Breezed past the neraval to swaras without providing audience with a chance to exhale in applause.

4. Quite the exponent of neraval & swaras
