Intellectual Powow...

Recently my brother forwarded me a link in the quintessential video blogsite you-tube. Its a recorded program broadcast in JayaTV. Its Hariharan's music program. What is so special to mention about this one is (as the indian tv channels have nothing other than Cinema) that the audience were all (pretty much) folks who are well-versed in Music. Hariharan was exploring / extrapolating various popular songs in different sruthis / raagas and all of them (chithra, kushbu, suhasini....) were immersed in the variations and enjoying the program.

What is so significant is that this provided a platform for the intellectuals in the music world to feed their ego and this would lead to the development of the music world. This is not just for music, every other field should have events & conferences like these and allow the exchange & proliferation of ideas. Not only these intellectuals but all these events should have participation from budding intellectuals and enthusiasts. This would lead to the development in all areas and the society in turn would flourish.

Here are the links I'm talking about
