Hi @TheLittleNaruto @Malavika :) Good afternoon!

Looks like a missed a fair bit of conversation. Will catch up on everything after lunch, see you around in a while!

Hi @TheLittleNaruto @Malavika :)

@Malavika Great, I'll add the link to the room info now

@TheLittleNaruto Yes bro, I saw that link - saw your reply on my reply in the question on Hinduism SE too :)

room topic changed to Ragamalika: A chatroom for rasikas of Indian classical music. Please read the guidelines here: ragamalika-musicfans.github.io [filmi] [indian-classical] [raga]

Indeed :)

Music by Vidyasagar, so definitely high chances of high quality music from there :)

You're right, it's not purely Hamsanadam, but I'm not able to place the other ragams exactly. Maybe Dharmavati...?

My wife suggested I listen to this next:

@Malavika Hmmmmmm, I shall get back to you on this....!

Hahahaha :D

Yeah, very beautiful! My wife was explaining a few lines to me just now :)

Yes, very much. She grew up in Kerala, in several places.

Yeah, they've had to move a lot in her childhood, so she's lived in many places. If you ask her, I think she'll say she is from Thrissur, though :)

I am told that they have a distinctive way of speaking :) But then, I'm sure the style of speaking varies a lot throughout Kerala, isn't it?

@Malavika Yeah yeah, she is a Keralite only, though not a Malayali. I think one set of her grandparents currently stay in Thrissur. :)

Mmhmm :D You seem either confused or disappointed :P

Hahahahaha

Tamil Keralite, if you will :) In fact, I think there is a large Tamil Keralite population in Thrissur, if I'm not mistaken

Hahahahahahahahahaha

If not floods, surely some exodus many centuries ago. I am not very familiar with South Indian history, sadly. It is not taught at all in our history textbooks here :(

Ah, no, should she? :P

Hahahahaha, she will clear many other things also I'm sure XD

Thankfully, I'm not too hopeless XD But then again, I have perfected the art of smiling and nodding my head, so that all my teachers think I understand them perfectly. But don't tell anyone I said that. ;)

I think you're remembering you're mathematics teacher now :P

Wow!!

OMG

But, you know, the impact she has had on your life is so much deeper, I'm sure :)

@Malavika Uff, ouch! Too tough :P

Oh my god! :P :P

An amazing person, the more you tell, the more I am convinced
