Revisiting 'Embers'

People, it's a good thing I tend to revisit my life occasionally and now by extension, my blogstream.
I need to correct an error in the second line of the first paragraph of  'Embers' posted 01/21/11.

The import of the sentence was, "When KLSaigal moved on in January 1947, freedom for India was seven months away but his passing would still remain a major event for the music loving generation of the time".

Not one of you pointed this out which keeps me in good company (if you know what I mean!), but I will richly deserve the guffaw I will hear from Tejas, on this one.

PS: here's a bonus. And for the uninitiated: if you see the screen lighting up at the end it is because KLS has just finished rendering the 'raaga' deepak (the lamp, or the glow of it), in a film called Tansen from 1943.
