Announcements and News
• Earlier I suggested writing to Wikipedia.org and submit articles. I take that back. Its being controlled by un-educated children who don't know anything on the subject of Indian music, yet flaunt their moderating powers suggesting otherwise.
• If you are planning to travel to India I would recommend bookmarking and joining this sire: India Mike. The forums are an amazing wealth of information and the user submitted galleries are some of the best I have ever seen. The information is more current than the guidebooks.
• Odissi.us just upgraded their CMS and its looking very nice. You might want to check it out and give them some support =D
• If anyone wants to give me an invite to Desi Torrents - john@mardala.com, I'd be indebted =D
• Harisankar Chaini submited another article! He sent it to me in December and I apologize for taking so long to update the site. But here it is: Ghanta Mardala - The Fragrance and the Resonance. Harisankar is a dedicated student of Guru Shri Satchidananda Das.
• *UPDATE REGARDING A FORUM* I have a plan (ding). I am working on a project that will benefit the whole of East Indian Classical arts, so scratch the forum idea as it will be part of my new project. I'll update the progress when its in BETA. Its a bit of work so be patient.
• If you have an idea for an article I would love to hear from you. Any material, written and visual, that is not by me will have all credit due to the author.
• If you have a site you would like to add to my links section, then please contact me. Only those sites whose content matches the content of my links page, please.
• If you are interested in an interview, contact me and I will set you up. I am looking for Odissi dancers and musicians only. This is a small enough community, it's nice to get to know a bit about each of us out there.
