One nice Thygaraja’s song which I (surprisingly) learnt very easily….
The song is in Abheri raagam and aadhi thalam. Abheri is a janya raagam from karaharpriya (22nd melakartha)
Aa: S G2 M1 P N2 S
Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S
Krnatik.com gives you a list of movie songs that are based on this raagam. The one that pulled my eyes is rAkkammA kayathattu from the movie Dalapathy….if interested you could look at http://www.karnatik.com/ragasa.shtml#aabhEri

I have loads of relatives in chennai. Thats the only place I get to sing when a few people are listening:)…and most of them prefer the tamizh songs …devotional….
its because they listen to it very often and are familiar with it, it is understandable in terms of meaning and tune (not very classical and complicated)…..also it is popular..
These things motivated me to get into learning of these kind of songs….
