:laugh: if sunny starts pullin out some of russell peters' lines, then it'll be hard to choose which guy i'm going after. :laugh: 😛
sid- personally, i liked your other avatar better b/c it was Green Day and i like them. not a lot, but i think they're cool. 😀 and of course there'd be a character named "shweta" in a real bollywood movie... we're just cool like that. 😎 😛 AND, by the way- you're saying my name wrong.
my advice to you if you're trying to get a girl- say her name right. 😀 😀


Oh dammit , sorry Swetha. 😳

Yeah , Greenday's getting old dear.
My new avatar is a pic from Bhutan - worth checking out, their culture is fascinating

Ha ha! I am aware of Reggae- but not of Raga! stupid to say that for an Ìndian- but it´s all like that for people who are not much in to music !

The one musical instrument i can play is---------- CD player! 😉

I mean tabla not table,..... hey common dont get so harsh...
everyboy in class is a "table percussionist" by default. does that sound like father of matrix?????

I really don't know how my mind really works, in terms of analyzing music and interpreting patterns... it somehow comes to me (although with practise). I made sitar pieces in mpeg video format, but I'm trying to reduce the size of the files (they are about 450mb in size). When I do get them reduced, I'll let you know so you can take a look. I've played at two temples here (during a Sunday evening, when there is only the preist and a few elderly people), and one of the priests compared my playing to a jugalbandi style (much like what Siddhartha listened too). Honestly, when I play, I can't even tell what I'm playing, since the pieces I play sound very differently when playing live, and then once I hear it back in the recording.

I'm looking forward to u r mail 👍

Sid, what is your favourite Raga?

Mine are:
Raga Sindhi Bhairavi
Raga Bhairagi
Raga Darbari
Raga Yaman Kalyan
 
To be honest, I have no clue. I used to be familiar with ragas, but now know nothing.

But I'd say Rag Bhairavi since it is the most familiar 🙁
 
just asking u sid, any idea abt. hindustani classical music?no offense plz.!

yeah, I listen to it every now and then. But not familiar with the technical aspects. Just a few things like taal, Sargam.
