Brindavani Sarang (Brindavana Saranga) for the weekend
A song in Brindavana Saranga from Rani Rupmati. The first part(male singing) is in Darbari Kanada and the second part is in Brindavana Saranga, a great combination:
ud ja bhanwar maaya and aaja bhanwar suni....

Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Bismillaah Khan and others have also rendered in this raga.
In carnatic music Rangapura Vihara by Muthuswami Dikshithar and Kaliyuga varadan by Periyasami Thooran are the most popular compositions. Kaliyuga varadan seems to have become popular these days, a welcome change! :)
Have a good weekend! :)

I posted this song because of something I recalled. It was September 1965. I was on my first flight (of my life) from Madras to Bombay on my way to New York and Chicago. After I took my seat a gentleman came and sat next to me and introduced himself as Shammi Kapoor and I introduced myself. That was all. I was keen on what the hostess was saying. After I got off in Bombay, a friend came to me and said that I was sitting next to a Hindi movie actor. Had I known that I would have asked him to autograph my ticket! :) Next time I met an actor in 1973 or 74 I got an autograph. He was none other than MGR who later became chief minister of Tamilnadu! :)
Shammi Kapoor is gone! May his soul rest in peace.
