More rhythm patterns for vruttaalu
More rhythm patterns for vRttaalu

	This document is based on a post I retrieved from the telusA archives
posted by Sri Prabhakar Vissavajjhala (as part of a 3 post series on
chandassu) listing the gaNaalu of the major vRttaalu. I tried to identify
the rhythm patterns of those vRttAlu and mark them in easy to read rhythm units.
I also tried to give at least one example for each - either a popular 
sanskrit/telugu verse or film song bit or a line(s) I made up to fit those 
patterns. On my first pass I made the rhythm patterns intuitively; I then
made a second pass through to see if the "yati" sthaanaM is clear from
the rhythm pattern I made. I had to rewrite the pattern on a few occasions
on this second pass. The examples do not necessarily satisfy yati. 

	The main aim of this exercise is FUN in identifying a pattern out of 
all those ya-ra-ta-bha-ja-sa-ma-na gaNas; identifying the names of some
well known patterns and in coming up with examples from film songs for
some of these patterns. Hope you have at least half as much fun with this
as I had in making these up.

			Enjoy,
