Bipolar,
I am not a music expert either or have learnt music the classical way or practised it. It all stems from my father who was good at carnatic music (he wrote his songs, set the tune, raaga, music and sang in bhajans).
My background, i believe there is no life without music including nishabdam or silence (TV Shankarnarayan one of the great stalwarts/legend in Carnatic music once signed an autograph "Music Is Life", hence my nickname). I do write my opinions for Rock Artists (especially metal/hard rock), and reviewed some of the albums. So either i listen to Carnatic classical or hard rock/metal (strange and wierd, but that is me).
You seem to be pretty young, I do sometimes have very little time, so i go into hibernation once in a while. Rajasarnam is another person who is pretty good and has more depth in knowledge regarding IR music than me.
I do like the Gladiator music, we have similar tastes i guess. Let us try this, if you like G'N'R, Metallica, Rage Against Machine, AC/DC, Led Zep (the Gods), Black Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy, Aerosmith, Marcy Playground then we are good at the same level.
If you like IR/ARR, Tamizh marai vazhipadu(like kolaru thirupathigam), Classical Carnatic, we are inclined at the same level.
