This along with the cenchurutti thillana, has virtually disappeared from the concert platform. Amazing for her to pick this one out. All of poochis thillana's have some magic to them. An ariyakudi-KVN favourite is the one in poornachandrika. Kudos to Radha mami, and might I add that R K Shriram Kumar gets my vote for favourite current day violinist!
