A cold and flu left me unable to sing last week, but this week I am back with a kriti in Vasanta ragam, composed by Sri Tyagaraja. This is one of the lesser heard Tyagaraja kritis taught at the PSN school, but I have also heard that Sri Chingleput Ranganathan used to sing this song. I have not heard it anywhere else. It is amazing to see how Tyagaraja weaves sahityams from his feelings. The conversation, and the questions he had for Rama convinces the listener that her had Rama before his very eyes when he composed.
