Another fact is that Shri Subburama Dikshithar himself said things(even at the time of writng the book-1904)were changing as regards the way songs and Ragas were being altered a bit.But,he presents them as he has learnt and would not be 'influenced' by modern Sampradaya. I'll try to recollect more points.It would be nice if Bharathwaj puts up a more detailed review.

I too wanted to attend that Lec-Dem but I was busy on that day :( (Now, don't say a busy person would have time for everything to me :P) Anyway, I was about to mail you and ask if you had gone since it was in your college. Btw, TMK conducted a Lec-Dem along with a few others during Bharat Sangeet Utsav conducted in November 2006 at Narada gana Sabha. I didn't attend that but some 15 minutes of it was telecast in SS Music. In that lec-dem too, TMK sang Kamalambike in Todi as sung today and then as per the Pradarshini. As and when you remember more about the lec-dem, please do let me know. Sathej,

But, never have I enjoyed the lyrics of this song as much as I did yesterday! Yuva, Thanks :) Ranjhith, Nope it wasn't Suriyan FM. :P It was Big or Hello FM. I don't remember which one. Hell’s Angel,

But, Rahman's music means a lot more to me than anything else. That's why there is very little mention about others in my blog. & yeah, I like Poonkathave too! Prabhu, Is it so? Sathej,
