Karnatik music is my passion. I sing. My mother is my guru, not just for
music but for the way I live. I have composed in all genres of compositions in Karnatik music. I have composed in Sanketi,
Kannada, Sanskrit and Tamil. I love reading books in various languages. I am well versed with Sanketi, Kannada, Tamil,
Hindi and English and have a working knowledge of Telugu, Malayalam and Sanskrit. I firmly believe that it is music
that has taught me these languages.
I am also keen on Dravidian linguistics and have been toying with the idea
(for years now!) of writing a book on the Sanketi language. I have written some poetry in Sanketi- namely a brief treatise
(I am not sure it deserves this high-sounding name) on Prosody in music and "Ambika antAdi", both in kandapadya metre. This
apart I have written a few stray poems in Kannada and Sanketi including EkAkSharis.
Enough for now.
