TAKE MY WORD FOR IT! If u find me talk softly....walk consciously ... laugh melodiously...sit gracefully...behave delicately...there shall be 2 reasons behind this face of mine.
1. An irresistible and very gentlemanly GREEK GOD!(POONAL is compulsory any which ways!!!)
2. Soaking myself in KALYANI ragam for one whole day.
The latter is THE most probable!
Kalyani ragam, to me, is THE most DELICATE and FRAGILE ragam. When sung the right way, I feel as if Ive had a glass of chilled sweet lassi! PURE PLEASURE! You want it to last forever...So u keep licking every droplet of lassi sticking to the glass till the limited area your tongue can reach and keep smacking your lips! Thats the effect the ragam has on me!
Kalyani is VERY REAL! There is no other face to it! Absolutely no confusion in deciphering any song based on this ragam. Its simple, straight forward and highly attractive! Its self contained and stands for itself! It caresses me like a cool breeze and exhilarates me!
AAROHANAM (ascending swarams) : S R2 G2 M2 P D2 N3 S
AVAROHANAM (descending swarams): S N3 D2 P M2 G2 R2 S
Every swaram in this ragam is worth lingering on to! But the most mystic swaram of all is M2! Its infatuation on P is very obvious and every composition sounds incomplete without the proper utilization of M2! Each swaram is capable of sounding extremely melodious on its own without the adjacent swaram's support. It is more of an evening ragam. When Iwant to smell the essence of the mud rising just before the ultimate intercourse between the earth and the sky in the middle of a very clammy weather, KALYANI is THE solution!
Kalyani gives all the warmth a mother would give her child. This is a very common feeling amongst music lovers and listeners. Hence many of the carnatic compositions on goddesses make use of this ragam.
Some famous carnatic compositions: vanajaakshi (varanam), vaasudevayani, pankaja lochana, evaram atukuthura, shive paahimaam ambike
Some tamil cinima songs : Kaatril varum geethame, enna samayalo (its a raga maalika basically),
Kalaivaaniye, Doraguna itu vanti seva (telugu movie-sankarabharanam).
I have observed that Male singers do a lot more justification to Kalyani than the female singers! This is one case which denies the fact that ONLY A WOMAN CAN UNDERSTAND ANOTHER WOMAN.
But whenever I romance Kalyani, it expresses that I have been very satisfying and judicious. PERIOD.
MORAL : Kalyani has the ground breaking capacity to make a hippy girl carry an off-shoulder gown with utmost grace!
P.S. - The ultimate intercourse between the earth and the sky is nothing but the RAIN you 'just not poetic' creatures!!!
