the pakad also in the Audio clip that will be too good.

Mohatram janaab haresh bakhsi sahab aadaab...long time I had the good fortune
of speaking to you.I am making immense use of your wonderful website.I have
one submission regrading classification of one song from film "anuradha" ,i.e
"haye re woh din kyon na aye".The song clearly uses R in a very kalyan way and
leans onto G,to my mind the song is based on jansammohini/shubh kalyan rather
than kalavati.May I have your expert opinion please
than kalavati.May I have your expert opinion please
