Finding Sangeetham.com and serendipity

I have loved Sangeetham.com and continue to miss it on the web, inspite of the fact that there are so many carnatic music websites. There were features to look forward to - several scholarly articles, lively and intelligent discussion forums, rAga explanations, bAni appreciation, lyrics and meaning for the trimUrti's kritis, season analyses and its lighter moments..for those who remember.

But happily, I realise that I can go back the Internet's archives to savour Sangeetham all over again. Very coincidentally, as I think of DK Pattamal's music, I come across this article by a very articulate Sriram V in conversation with the musician during the Sangeetham.com days. Overwhelmed.

Suprabhatam

Morning was a happy one. I now own a Philips MP3 (etc) player. Listened to Vijay Siva and Sethilapathi. Life is under control. The milkman gave me my packet of Nandini milk. The paper wala gave me my Times. The iron wala returned my clothes beautifully pressed. I cleaned the house and felt good as I locked it, plugged in my walkman of Aruna Sayeeram and started my walk to reach work.
