What do I seek?

Is it a fleeting shadow
or the lingering aftertaste of a nostalgia
Is it some old played tunes in my head
or the thrill of meeting a stranger Iv met before
is it being consumed by the portraits of a landscape
or the feeling of falling down the rabbit's hole
is it the longing to see those eyes
or to melt by the touch of some fingers
Is it the depth of a voice?
Or a thousand words in that glance
Is it feeling alive in a moment
or the sweet pain of anguish
Is it the meaning of this existence
or the thrill of a fantastic day
Is it the happiness from that smile
Or the buoyancy of those tears
Is it I? Or am I an illusion?

The whole structure of raaga needs to be very clear in your head and the more you advance in your learning, the more you should go back to the basics and use them for all the raagas that you learn. Like for examples, the alankaras should be practiced with all the raagas and not just mayamamavagaula. Also, varnams should be really stressed upon before reaching the keertana stage.

For keertanams, you should stress on learning the madhayama kalam keeatanam first for any raaga, then moving on to one having a chittaswarm and then moving on to vilambakalam keertanam for the same raaga. This way y

Bain and Boon of being a Palakkad-i And for those who wonder who a Palakkad-i is, well we are people who hail from a village(Palakkad) in the south of the Indian peninsula that lies on the border of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It was initially owned by the government of Tamil Nadu but now in the hands of Kerala. So my ancestors were Tamil but now we are successfully confused. My friends often ask me which state am I from, and I vacillate between the two. C'mon guys its hard on me. Cut me some slack, I am a Palakkad-i born and brought up in the North which makes it even more eclectic. I grew up speaking a language that perhaps no-one other than a fellow Palakkad-i would understand. I have trouble understanding a perfectly pure Tamil movie or a Malayalam movie, or news readers, or people or songs. I never felt that void up until now when my interaction levels with neighbors from the east and west has increased in magnitude and there is a pressing need to be able to speak one pure language
