Okay, I’ll cop to the temptation of a cheap shot. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWaqL0U01gY&feature=related. Om Nano Narayana snort!

I can’t wait for the micro, pico or mega and kilo versions =)

In order of send-up: 1. A “Tamil Carnatic” version in the Ragam Vasantha 2. A “Telugu Carnaric” version, Harikatha/Burrakatha style. Ever hear NT Ramarao extol the virtues of tobacco in “khagapathi amruthamu thega”? 3. A “Malayalam Carnatic” version with some ersatz mohiniattom 4. And as identified a “Punjabi Carnatic” version a la bhangra. Anyone know how I can stop people calling it the “poon-jahb” – obnoxious corrections aside?

Incidently there is song written in the 18 century that is a version of Twinkle Twinkle, called Shymale Meenakshi. It was written by Muthuswamy Dikshitar, along with several other songs based on British (Celtic) tunes.

It is very nice to view this. Her name is Revathi shankaran. she only done the program mangaiyar choice in Sun Tv. In that program she will give a lot of informational tips to ladies. I am a continuous watcher of this serial Kasalavu nesam. It is full of comedy.

I remember our friend from school, who has done years of classical Carnatic music studies. He used to sing traditional carnatic with ‘Definition and classification of Boilers’ to make fun of our mechanical engineering professor from Purdue. Lost touch with him for over 15+ years. If any of our guys reading it, please post.

Thanks amardeep for posting. The second part is “Mohiniyattam” one of the classical dances of India, from Kerala.

Amardeep, would you care to clarify the differences in the comedic tastes between South Indians and the general Indian population(??North Indians? Or, perhaps, did you mean to refer to the viewers in who speak this particular language? To the best of my knowledge, not all South Indians speak the same language...

I do not like the term 'South Indian'. Most people think the entire South India is one big state with a movie star as the cheif minister! ha ha!
