I learnt carnatic music for a brief while - 6 years to be precise but managed to learn upto 80 kirthanas which includes the pancharathna krithis all before I turned 13. The fact I shifted my house and that put a fullstop to my learning stint is a different story altogether but whatever I learnt, I learnt that well :-). This was possible under the tulage of Smt. Sulochana Sampath. She was a big patron of MLV's style or gharana. She motivated us to come up with short alapana, kalpana swaram and neraval of our own right from the 20th keerthana...Its been 16 years now and this morning when I googled her name, what a pleasant surprise. Sulo Maami has released a brilliant collection of Purandaradasar Kritis.
