sruti's production quality may have gone up, but the content and tone has been steadil;y southbound. unparliamentary language such as "what the hell happened to singer xyz" and silly "musings" is causing pain to long-time readers. this months issue looks like somebodys family album, with articles like "what uncle balu (from america) thinks about the music season". sruti today is like a dead-tree edition of somebodys unmoderated blog.

as the paper quality has become glossier and less absorbent i cant even think of alternate uses for the magazine after one is done flipping thru it.

I am in total agreement with you, sir. But since change is inevitable, Sruti has changed as well. An excellent thing can only deteriorate with time. It is indeed painful to see a beauty perish, but that is only to be expected.

Hats off to the Sruti issues from the late 80s and early 90s that I have a small collection of! I do not expect the same standards today, though.

It isn't, it doesn't have to, and it isn't.

A combination of excuses with a rather depressing view of life!

I make no comment about the magazine; I haven't seen it for ages.

I hated their idiosyncratic indian-language plurals, Anglicised with hyphens (tala-s, raga-s and so on). I hope they've stopped that.

I found their Media Watch page really entertaining, along with the new album reviews.
