VJ Conversation / Vaamanan / etc.
Neel D -
A discerning listener downloaded the conversation/radio program from the website and wrote me this letter. I am giving you just a snippet from it:
"Meanwhile, I see that your radio show came and went, and the VJ show finally hit the airwaves. I've just downloaded the files from the VJ website, and savoured the pleasure of listening to yet another remarkable VJ radio show. I heard "Shree Gananaatham" (on repeat mode for about 10 times) after what seems like an eternity, and in the stillness of the night with just the a/c drone for company, words fail to explain its remarkable impact. Distlled perfection, dewdrop purity.. Classic, ethereal...
Let me also wager that she will never find a better informed and nuanced interviewer with an aesthetic sensibility that so closely matches hers than you. Very well done, my friend! You made us proud. "
The biggest thanks is to VJ and to the VJ website for making this conversation available to the world at large. Thank you, Neel D.

Vaamanan zeros in on VJ authortitative grasp and self-awareness when it comes to her music. As I said, he is a truly nuanced and perceptive writer. I look forward to many more of his insights.
Confidence, Clarity, Colour, Class: The 4 Cs that VJ offers in every song. I am sure Vaamanan will give us a worthy list and an equally engrossing exegesis about the songs/context.
