    Know much about ragas?
Yes, actually I do know a bit. A friend of mine is a tabla player and I've heard him play (with others) many ragas. -Sort of a "theme" within a formula.

There is no doubt that judging a book by its first line is even more ridiculous than judging it by its cover. Since this is about having fun and challenging oneself creatively, it may be a more interesting exercise to say, "tell a story in less than 5 lines."
