Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.
