yae moomi pai vaali thae...mouna mae mantram avuntuundo
aa swashalo ni leena mai ...a moomi paieeei ni mounamai
ninnu cherani madavaaaa....................................(sunitha)....................................in the same way as raadha pleaded lord krishna........,the swaram,sruthi laya and a melody voice ..pleaded lord Brahma to embodi them where they can come out as as ghandarva gaanam

To lay them on that lips that can make them vibrte as samaveda sangeetam,make us embodies in that breath.lay us on those magical lips so that it makes the listners spellbound

LordBrahma listened to them and gave them a blessing so that they can stay in indian music for ever as a swara.....that swar nivas is indian's heart permanent address .....she is none other that PADMASRI .Smt.CHITRA

Born 44 years ago in Trivandrum..................rather than saying that she entered film industry 25 years ago...it would be appropriate to say that she has been ruling the film industry for the last 25 years
