Mallus with good voices make my day, Salutations to them
Each day brings a surprise, if yesterday’s wasn’t too pleasant, today’s more than made up for it. A little while ago I had written about Rama Varma and linked to a video of him singing, rather irreverently referring to “Mallus” “with good voices.” I live with one such Mallu, who sings so rarely it’s like watching a comet appear in the sky when he does.
Imagine my delight and surprise when I checked my mail this morning before reluctantly dragging myself off to work and I saw a mail from a Rama Varma titled “Mallu with a good voice 
”
The mail began:
Namaste Ji
proceeding to ask me about my music classes in London etc
Rama Varma made my day, not because he’s a “Prince,” but because he’s a great musician, bothering to enquire about my musical education with great warmth, concern and interest.
So thank you, Prince, for cheering up a really grumpy person today.
Here is a great video of him singing Endaro Mahanubhavulu (Salutations to the Great Souls of this world), a Thyagaraja Pancharatna kriti, in MDR style.
Wow! That is so nice of him! I love the video of him singing Sarvam Brahmamayam..sublime!
I like that too!
wow! what a fantastic way to start your day.
What a beautiful voice he has! And what a nice man to write to you
