Chinmayi's blog

Chinmayi's Blog: With a good classical background, Chinmayi has a refreshingly different voice. I listen to her Noodhana song everyday on my drive to work and I kept wondering which raagam it is based on (cinema songs are rarely based on one single raagam). I found the answer in her blog - Nalinakanthi for the most part. Endhan nenjil neengadha and Manam virumbudhe unnai are other songs in this raagam (manam virumbudhe's pallavi is in turn is based on manavyalakim - for more on copied songs, check out this link). As a bonus, there is a detailed analysis of an Ilayaraja song by Chinmayi's mom (who appears to have a lot of carnatic music knowledge)

Sudhish Kamat's blog::
Copied and pasted the following from my friend's email:
