The book titled INTERESTING ANECDOTES FROM THE WORLD OF MUSIC has a lot of anecdotes, stories and titbits collected over 11 years from various sources. There is very little matter written by me. It is a book of compiled matter from newspapers, books and lectures. I have anecdotes and stories from Carnatic musicians, Hindustani Musicians and Western Musicians. They are not available elsewhere in one single book. Rare information about music pillars inside the temples, origin of music from the Sama Veda, superstition about music. Origin of certain ragas, Tansen’s famous Tamarind tree, rain by music is all in the book. There are some serious articles about comparison between Western music and Indian music. Though the book is not comprehensive, it will be of interest even to non-musicians. The range of periods covered in the book is also amazing. We cover from the Rig Veda to modern day musicians.
