Blasphemy!

"Met Mr Tyagaraja last night, apologized to him for changing one sangati in Chakkaniraja and in return am sending him Kaana vendamo rendition. Was surprised he knew about my new raga Rojappoo."

Since he brought up karaharapriya - It would have helped if this is retuned to the real karaharapriya i.e. karnATaka kApi.

Quintessentially YACMish - an old approach that is now in a new wine bottle.

This is making fun of Kamal Hasan's post about Christopher Nolan.

Kamal tweeted, "Met Mr.Christopher Nolan. Apologized for seeing Dunkirk in the digital format and in return am sending Hey Ram in digital format for him to see. Was surprised to know he had seen Paapanaasam.".

Of late, we seem to be chasing our sense of humor out of our ken, in all of our seriousness about music:(
Perhaps Sanjay was amused by what Kamalhasan said (I don't get the context), and was not making fun of him, really.
Chellappa, if I guess right, was only trying say how he was tickled by Sanjay's words. I thought the extreme one word and the exclamation mark after it as the thread title conveyed it...
Now, I expect a post from the great T himself, after all that he might have read about his work in the other thread :)

Arasi,
The million $ question will be which among these is the most disrespectful: Mr. Tyagaraja, The Great T, or Tyagaraju? ;)

Ravi,
Good question--but you may have to wait till tomorrow. Will let you know after he appears in my dream tonight. I will also ask him what his own preference in our referring reverentially to him is :)

Thanks Sri Mahesh, sir. I did not know it.
Yes, Arasi, it tickled me and felt like sharing, but was also worried that it might ruffle feathers.
I did not sense any irreverence to Sri Thyagaraja (same as Mr. Thyagaraja, in fact the correct English).

Ruffle feathers? Horse feathers, for instance? :)
