On 29th November at Padma Pushkarini, Kalakshetra
This concert was held for inaugurating the new performance space in Kalakshetra called Padma Pushkarini. The ad in the newspaper on the day of the concert had a photo of a pond kind of place and I couldn’t wait to check out how a pushkarini/pond has been made as a concert venue.

Yes my blog completes 4 years today. Happy Birthday, blog! 
And a very big thanks to you all for reading this blog for so long!
Blog

And to think that it is only in the last few months that I have been having free time in excess and I didn’t utilize it even one bit to update my blog!

I never thought that my blog will ever reach the state in which it is now. Somehow, for the last several weeks, I have been caught up in a pretty hectic routine in which my blog doesn’t figure at all! Thought I will at least say a quick Hi to you all even though I don’t feel like writing anything. Neither the songs of Raavan nor a few other songs to which I am addicted big time nor the architectural beauty of the temples at Thirumalai Vaiyyavur, Siruvapuri and Pancheshti which I recently visited, seem to give me the much needed motivation to write something here.
P.S.: Call it showing off or sharing my happiness with you or whatever you want to, did you see that T.M.Krishna has linked my post in his website? I am so happy!

10 whole days of doing nothing other than attending concerts and lec-dems has come to an end! And there couldn’t have been a better ending to it than a T.M.Krishna’s concert and a Sanjay’s concert back to back! All the 15 concerts of Sanjay this December Season, 6 full concerts and an hour and a half of 2 concerts of T.M.Krishna – what a month this has been!
