Although a Carnatic raga, it is a common belief that raga Charukeshi is a new entrant to Hindustani Classical Music. It exists in the Hindustani style as Raga “Chandramauli”, but was probably popularised by the Carnatic style & therefore has become popular as “Charukeshi”
Raga Chandramauli or Charukeshi as it is known today is a late night melody.
What am i trying to say? Nothing big actually not like i know much about indian classical music. But from the vague knowledge that i have acquired what i can say about Charukesi is that im fundementally in love with it. Someone told me that this raag depicts a loss of a loved one. It sure has a melancholic touch to it. I guess that's why i relate alot to it.
There's a reason i'm righting this post (ahem attn: mr Viggy Wiggy)
Music means more than life to me that it so becomes my life. Thus i tend to relate it to my life.
I'm sorry if i have offended strict classical musicians but wadeva la eh? I've put some stuff related to charukesi below.
So what's next?
Im looking for a bassist
Actually anyone interested in joining a indian rock band
I'm trying not to limit myself. Definetly not after that talk i had.
And remind me to remind myself ok?
Music means Discipline Discipline Discipline...

charukesi
S R2 G3 M1 P D1 N2 S
i've come to realise that like the first 2,
you too will become my weakness
a 3rd one i just can't afford.
that i actually liked you after knowing this
leaves me astounded
not cos of the fact that you resemble the moon's reflection
but more of your tenacious character interwoven with the dreaminess of a child
i dared the pisces paranoia that grappled me
it helps that you don't give a shit
history shall not repeat
and i believe in the laws of attraction,
inner mutual attraction.
i won't let you become another charukesi
