Was a finely designed and executed Pallavi. Liked the Navroj and Charukesi as well.

Regarding the Navroj Kriti Hastivadanaaya, there is a very interesting experience ! I will write a separate post on it once the Season is over :-)

What was the Tirupugazh sung? I know there are many schools tuning the same ones to different raga ..just wanted to know. Thanks.

Oops ! Sorry, I should have mentioned it earlier - it was the Tiruppugazh Kadhi Modhi tuned in Chandrakouns.
I shall do the needful inclusion in the song list.
Thanks for pointing it out !

Navroj kindled memories of the 'kannonjal' series of songs generally sung in marriages. I used to volunteer myself for attending the post kasi yathra session (to listen), where a group of ladies would render the marriage songs and my marriage was also not an exception (no escape!).

Music is inbuilt in our system of living.

It seems, GG has fallen in love with Behag in particular, the most repeated raga of this season by her, but through different compositions. The fact is, it is always nice listening Behag. Credit the raga or GG?

It has become a habit for GG to render quality music, which she can’t wither away!
