ramakriya · Post by **ramakriya** » 06 Nov 2009, 23:28

This is just for fun - A list of tweets I've been sending on Twitter in the past few months.

(A few of them may be lame, some of them repeats but hopefully good for a read)

Some of these are from my friends too. Some knowledge of Samskrta and/or Kannda might help for some of these.

LOL, ramakriya!
Notice there is no nA dapa in the svarams joke! No need to point the finger at oneself! (dappa is fat in kannaDa)

I know that one is little over the head .. ; All the ragas were from the 5th (bAna) chakra

Adding my contribution;
What do you call it when some one sings a bad karNaranjani, dharmavati, kalyANi?
karNabhanjani, adharmavati, mOca kalyANi.
Let me stop before some one says 'sakikkalai'.

Or if the kalyANi is so good, it brings BLISS; then it will be 'mOksha kalyANi'.
