This is a song written by Sri.Purandara dasa. Ragi Tandhira Bhikshaka Ragi Tandhira.... it goes, Finally, landed my hands on a shruthi box, here in campus. So, was tempted to record again! You can listen to this song at Ragi tandhira Lyrics: (Source: http://sapthaswaras.blogspot.com/2008/08/ragi-thandira-bhikshake.html) ........ This is a very impressionable “needhibodhana” song. In this song PurandaraDasa explains how one should live. But in a very charming way he has played with the word “Ragi”. He starts off the song with the common day to day meaning of the word and wakes you up with a jolt with a verydifferent use of that word as he delves into the song proper. And just watch how manytimes that word is used in this song by Purandara Dasa. It is class poetry, in simple words but carrying profound education for living...... Sri Purandara Dasa was a real social reformer. He had the dream of pr...

Whenever I read a novel/ short story by R.K.Narayanan, I get amazed by the detailing of the most routine things in life. For instance, the old thatha who stands near the theru mukku as you go to work everyday. RKN would immediately jump into a story for this thatha & bring him to life. Honestly, his books have not been super engaging or 'cant resist finishing the book' types, at least for me. I've always taken time - it's like eating a chewy candy, sometimes they do drag & drudge along - but the experience remains with me for long. Watching Pannaiyaarum Padminiyum yesterday, I felt like I was reading a very simple & sweet story - told in the most straightforward manner, in no non-linear mode :) Just when you thought having twists around every corner is what works - here comes this marvel of a movie that is so simple (and I repeat this) & charming! There's such a vintage feeling about this movie that worked so beautifully for me. Yes, the pace is l...
