Sudha's debut in the blogging world is an endearing krithi composed by Shri. Iraiyimman Thampi - a highly talented contemporary of Swathi Thirunal and the composer of the famous "Omana Thingal Kidavo". Neelavarna is composed in the ragam Surutti in praise of Lord Padhmanabha. There appears to be some similarity in the styles of Swathi Thirunal and Iraiyimman Thampi especially in the usage of mudhras like "Kamalnabha Jaya Jaya". Apparently he was one among the eminent musicians who adorned Swathi Thirunal’s court. Even in the midst of existing competition, their mutual encouragement and admiration had helped them in polishing their potentials.
