Q: A few of your favourite things? A: *Sindhu Bhairavi(Carnatic raga)*, home food even if its *rasam sadam*', Regent's Park in London and all the music stores in USA.
I googled Rasam Sadam and realize it is an south indian dish and gonna hunt Indian restaurants this weekend to taste it :))) Sorry about the presonal trivia .. on to my main question , Can you guys help me identify songs of ARR based on *Sindhu Bhairavi *Ragaa ? Elementary search on Youtube yielded Sudhas rendition ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-T39eNTf9g) , i still haven't developed an mature ear for carnatic and really couldn't enjoy it ... I also found a few instrumental versions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKM1YJcO_cU - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OBE-B3tqB8&feature=related ( Prasanna on Guitar ) But I am curious to see where ARR has used this in his works and how he has interpreted it ?
