Chakravagam

I was trying to play "Kanmani Nee vara Kaathiruntaen" song from "Thendralae Ennai Thodu" in my keyboard.

I know the combinations of music.. like S R1 G1 M1 P D1 N1 S and I know there are 3 Rs 3 Gs 2 Ms 3 Ds and 3 Ns and their positions in my keyboard.

So I figured out this song belongs to the category S R1 G3 M1 P D2 N2 S. The first 4 scales were similar to Maya malawa gowla. So I went to http://www.carnatic.com/carnatic/ragalist.htm and understood that this scale belonged to the 16th mela kartha raagam and it is called as Chakravagam.

Then I went and googled for the raga of this song to confirm that this song belong to Chakravagam category. In a yahoo discussion group, I found that they were talking about this song belonging to MalayaMarutham category. So I went deep in the site and found the scale for MalayaMarutham raga and found the M is missing. So the scale is S R1 G3 P D2 N2 S and it fitted well. So learnt two raagas today. One is Chakravagam and another is Malayamarutham.

A few songs that belong in Malayamarutham raaga is
Kanmani Nee vara kaathiruntaen from Thendralae ennai thodu
Ragasiyamaai Ragasiyamaai from Dum Dum Dum
Kodi Inbam from Nenjil Aadum Poo Onru (today only I heard this song)

If I figure out some more songs, I will add it to the list when I come across.

Why I like “Diary” Program in Hello FM 106.4

I like to listen to internet radio all the time. It is not only you listen to music, but also, you can get the news and listen to various people’s talk. I was a fan of Singapore radio till February 2009 (till now). After that I couldn’t listen to that station as they stopped broadcasting over the internet for various copyright issues. I really miss that station. However, one of my friend who is now in Australia, gave me the link to 106.4 Hello FM this September (09) and am listening to this radio. I like to listen to “Bigil” program by Suresh. He talks casually and he tries to figure out lot of different games. I couldn’t listen to much of it due to timing issue. I don’t miss Diary program by Girish. Girish your voice is, I think very suitable for that type of program and you did capitalize on it. Good job. I like this program for 3 reasons: 1) As I said before, it is because of Girish’s voice. I think this guy should be in his 25s. I can understand his feeling towards love...

Indian Police Cop

On Deepavali day of this year (17th October 2009), though it was like another day for us in USA, in the evening we went to a fair organized by the Irving County. This fair was completely free. I need to say something we like and enjoy the most in USA, especially in Irving, TX. It has so many beautiful parks. It has lot of recreational activity centers and most of the parks have these. All parks are meticulously planned for various activities. Ok coming to the fair, It had lot of activities like a small train ride for the kids along the lake, lot of jumping activities, sliding activities, balloon riding, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, face painting, magic shows, circus shows etc activities. It was a good evening for the kids. My main intention of this blog was not to just stop with the fun activities alone but to share an important event that happened that I thought lot of our Indian policeman and Government civilians can/should follow. There was a long queue for hot dogs (Am...

Lost my Scooter

I usually park my scooter in my apartment complex parking space. Since it is very cold during November to March, I don’t use my scooter much. So it was parked wherever I left. I usually notice my scooter every time I get out of my car; I park my car next to my scooter parking space. It was Christmas holidays and didn’t go out. Day before Christmas, it snowed for an inch. So, I was curious to see how my scooter was blanketed with snow. To my shock, I found another truck parked over there instead of my scooter and I checked around and couldn’t find my scooter. I called Police and informed them. For formality sake one Cop came to my apartment and gave me a report number and asked me to inform the insurance. Unfortunately, I don’t have theft insurance. So it is gone. I really feel bad for my lost. What to do?? I cannot buy another scooter now for various reasons… It is bad time and loosing lot of money!!!!
