I must have been around 10 years old when I had a chance to participate in a music program on Doordarshan Malayalam. It was telecasted as a part of some Bhakthi gaanangal (devotional songs) program in the evening on a Wednesday as far as I can remember. Deepa and Gayathri akkas taught us a few songs to sing for our debut TV show. I still remember the feeling I had when I saw myself with my friends dressed up in a pattu paavada and singing on screen - it was thrilling and I felt on top of the world. Those days to get a prime time slot in the national television used to be a big deal.

Here are the songs we sang. Hope you enjoy them.

On a different note, I am beginning to accept students for beginner and intermediate levels of one-on-one online Carnatic vocal music lessons. If you or anyone you know might be interested, do contact me here.
