  Wonderful.
  You see, it took me years to just come to know that the songs I hear often fall under Mohanam. I would like to know more about this raga (or ragas in general).
  Can you suggest me a book that covers the basics and goes into details about them ? Internet source has limited autenticity and I always go by books which are researched and explained by authors who have authority over a particular field/subject.

  mappi,
  
  For basics I think wiki is ok. If you really want a book, Raga nidhi (B Subba rao) is considered quite authoritative. But this is just the theory of it. The real raga beauty can, of course, be understood only by listening to various compositions and renditions.
  
  Lakshman and others may have better book recommendations.

  I came across this site : http://www.chembur.com/carnatic/
  There are list of books in there, think I will start with author Rao.
  
  Here is a song I listen to often (eventhough, I do not understand it completely, I am usually awstuck with it. I listen to it basicially for the tabla beats/rythms).
  From 3m23s, the way she vibrates her voice is mesmerising, what is the term for such voice modulation in Carnatic/Hindustani music ?

  Very poignant. TFM music may notice that this song probably inspired MSV-TKR in the Karnan song.
