Chinmayi Sripaada@Chinmayi·
WOW. I have not seen such an impassioned thread when scores of Carnatic Music students spoke about sexual abuse and harassment by multiple Carnatic Musicians in 2018. They have multiple molesters - Child sex offenders to be specific, in their own fold, denigrating and soiling the purity of the very craft they deify misusing and abusing the status of being a Guru. They all went stone cold silent & survivor shaming. The entire Carnatic Music community continues to platform the molesters despite knowing who the dirty mamas are. Yet, since 2018 - none of the outed, so called great Vidwans have been punished by the Carnatic music community or the rasikas. These molesters have been the reason so many kids have refused to touch a violin, or refused to sing, or even cultivated a hatred for Carnatic Music because they associated it with the trauma of child sexual abuse. Tyagaraja Kriti a paadina porum. That too with a horrible Telugu pronunciation. Sa becomes sha. Solven becomes sholven. Whatever. Sila kozhandhaigala molest pannina ivaalukku enna… carnatic music a molester kaapaathina enna… adhellam paravaiyilla has been the mindset. All the outed molesters have such connections, money and might that nothing happened to them. All the emails, DMs from so many students around the world - and the utter helplessness I felt that I could do nothing and change nothing except say It. Is. Not. Your. Fault. All these people with power and audience could have done so much - but they didnt. Nobody said a word. Also TIL today that @tmkrishna has been awarded the Sangita Kalanidhi. Much congratulations to him.

4 days , that's all this solution lasted. Cracks show up. When will @mybmc and @RoadsOfMumbai ever wake up to the truth of their inefficiencies. Should @PMOIndia daily come for these roads and manholes and gutters to be rectified permanently. Does anyone care about my life?

It looks clean now but this was a gaping hole & one misstep, many could have had a fatal blow. Outside #MumbaiMetro station at WEH, this was in shambles for a decade. No complaint worked and its rectified as #Modi visits. Do citizens deserve this stepsister treatment. @mybmc

Whatever happened to Vidyasagar's 'Solamante Theneechakal'? They dropped a few singles, and went quiet. I see the movie is on OTT. The album has been ignored. "No singles" is a non-starter we can give in to, but is it much to ask for the album _eventually_? *cue Brahmastra*.

@Extragavanza Surprised you didn’t like DevaraLan sequence — I thought it was so well done. Like Veerapandi Kottaiyile where the thieves scheme during the song.

The Nandhini-Kundhavai face off song is still ringing in the ears! Even the meet-cute version of Nataraja Sthothram and Shakthisree’s (thought it was Chinmayi) brief romantic passage. Lovely score overall! #PonniyinSelvan1

I hope the youth of Punjab gets educated about not being influenced by gun culture promoted by singers. We have lost a talent. But that talent lost his life to bullets that he promoted. I know by writing this i am hurting sentiments. I am sorry. But understand the thought.
