  3. Sir, Just a question, You said Ka is nothing but Thi but it's usually played with three fingers right ? Is there a reason why you said only two finger, though my pinky finger is very small and while playing Thi I usually reach only with two fingers when trying to increase speed.

    Just curious as to whats the actual stroke.
