FYI ... Shruti, Worldspace's 24 hour Carnatic music channel, is broadcasting a 3 day special on Oothukkadu Venkatakavi as a part of its Nadopasana program from 7.00AM to 10.00AM IST today, tomorrow and the day after. Chitravina N. Ravikiran is the guest speaker and will be giving expert commentary. Certainly a must hear for those like me who are smitten by Oothukkadu kritis. I will have to catch up with the repeat broadcast from 12 - 3AM IST though because of office :-(
