Parmeet Sethi tells ‘recently engaged' son Aaryamann to earn more money, as he flips seeing furniture prices: ‘Rs 40k for a drawer, must have gold in it'
Singer/YouTuber Aaryamann Sethi dropped another vlog on his channel Aary Vlogs, and this time around the gang was shopping, claiming GST, doing more shopping, and getting some reality checks all in one video. Newly engaged couple Aaryamann and Yogita Bihani travelled to the city with Parmeet Sethi, all for different purposes. Yogita, who is an actor by profession, prepared for her audition with 'weird lines', as Parmeet and Aaryamann got ready for some shopping. Aaryamann planned to claim back his GST from when he purchased his fiancée a new iPhone, but before that they took a detour to a furniture store. Aaryamann walked into the store and said, 'Even I have to buy some things for the new place, but this place is too expensive,' to which Parmeet replied, 'It isn't that expensive; buy less, but buy quality products.' Aaryamann then took a gander at the inventory of the story, and his eyes fixated on a small cabinet with two drawer spaces. He looked at the price tag and said, 'I love this and the retro feel it has to it. But the price tag is Rs 40k, so it must have gold in it.' He told Parmeet about this, and the actor replied with, 'Bete kamao paise, kamao' (Earn money, son). ALSO READ: Archana Puran Singh 'started vlogging at Farah Khan's suggestion', does it even when 'mann nahi hota': 'People comment jeene ka ek aur karan' After her audition, Yogita picked up the duo as they went to meet up with Ayushmaan, who was taking them out for dinner to celebrate the engagement. Parmeet went home, as the gang, along with a friend of Yogita, went to Colaba to shop some more. Here Yogita showcased her bargaining skills in the market as she negotiated a pair of earrings that cost more than Rs 600 down to Rs 250. She started cutting at the prices while buying her phone case as well, as the shopkeeper said, 'Madam, bargain hota par itna thodi' (I am open for bargaining, but not this much). Listening to this, Aaryamann said, 'This is a literal sport for Yogita, and she can compete professionally in it.' After shopping some more, all of them went out for dinner, where Yogita told Aaryamann to get Archana Puran Singh's ancestral ring fixed quickly. Ayushmaan cheered for the couple and congratulated them on the engagement and even surprised them with a cake. The couple held hands with each other, closed their eyes, and made their wishes before blowing out the candles.

How Krishna has inspired a wide body of Carnatic compositions.
The Thyaga Brahma Gana Sabha's Sri Jayanthi festival featured Archana and Samanvi where the vocalists demonstrated how Krishna has inspired a wide body of compositions. Their choice of repertoire, spanning Dikshitar's kritis, Purandaradasa's devarnamas, Oothukadu's creations, Sivan's Tamil pieces, and the devotional Pasurams of Andal and Ashtapadis of Jayadevar, offered variety. They were supported by Haritha Narayanan (violin), Aduthurai Guruprasad (mridangam) and S. Harikishore (kanjira). The concert opened with Oothukadu Venkata Kavi's 'Ranganatham anisham', a kriti known for featuring of the names of alwars and other devotees of Vishnu in one of its charanams, set in Gambeera Nattai. True to the composer's characteristic verve, the piece unfolded on a vibrant note, setting the tone for the evening. From there, the duo moved to Purandaradasa's 'Gopiya bhagyavidu' in Kapi Narayani, tuned by their guru Arvinda Hebbar. The composition dwells on the bhagyam of Yashoda to bathe Krishna, sing him lullabies and shield him from the evil eye. The next segment featured Dhanyasi, with Samanvi shaping a thoughtful alapana that was ably supported by Haritha. This was followed by Papanasam Sivan's 'Balakrishnan padamalar'. There were occasional moments of vocal misalignment, when the singers didn't seem to be in sync. The percussionists lent a lively support. The niraval at 'neela mugil pol azhagan' was engaging and flowed into a round of kalpanaswaras. The concert then moved to Muthuswami Dikshitar's 'Krishnananda mukunda murare' in Gowli Pantu, distinguished by its use of shuddha madhyamam. Apoorva's alapana in Karaharapriya carried weight, though she briefly paused midway before resuming. The violin's responses were pleasing, setting the stage for Oothukadu Venkata Kavi's 'Rasa keli vilasa', the main piece of the day. While the charanam saw both vocalists momentarily falter over the 'sahrda hrdi' passage and correct themselves, the kalpanaswaras in two kaalams were neatly executed. The segment concluded with a lively tani, where the mridangam and kanjira engaged in spirited dialogue. To conclude, the vocalists chose two lighter yet substantial compositions — Andal's 'Karpooram naarumo', from Nachiyar Tirumozhi, was sung in Khamas with charm, followed by Jayadeva's 'Nijagada sa', in Sindhubhairavi. Both pieces made for a fine finale to a concert dedicated to Krishna.
