Every year for holidays we used to goto our native village in Kerala and it is a real, underdeveloped village where we stay..away from all technologies..so the only source of entertainment there was the songs played by the Ayyappa temple right in front of our ancestral home.
The first song to be played every morning and evening was "Deena Dayalu Rama". Initially I was uninterested..but with every passing day I started loving the song so much that I learnt the entire lyrics and was deeply in love with the female voice.
After 30 days of summer vacation when we left back for Pune, I knew the first thing I wanted to do was find out who is the female singer of "Deena Dayalu"!!
Internet was still a far away for me,so all I would entire day was keep swapping Malayalam channels to find out who actually sang it!!
And finally I saw! My brother and I watched your interview and we were so elated when you said that your initially learning of Hindustani classical music is from Pune!! You were already a Star for us..we followed every song, interview and program which featured you..
Though, curriculum and office have kept us busy for these years, we still never fail to discuss how much we adore this beautiful singer with an adorable smile and twinkling eyes, Gayathri Asokan :):) and we still follow all her songs..
Dear Gayathri ji, you are amazing..your recent ghazals with Times music are so beautiful.. please do continue making wonderful songs for us.. we'll always be following it!❤
Here is one of her latest Ghazal for Times Music, "Suna Hai Log" :-
